Overview
Description

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale built around squads of “Legends” with unique abilities, praised for its fast, fluid movement, gunplay, and ping communication system.

The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return bundles the iconic arcade shooters The House of the Dead 2 and The House of the Dead III, both fully ported to the Wii with native Wii Zapper compatibility. Players can experience the original storylines, from a zombie‑infested Venice to a post‑apocalyptic research facility, with updated controls and unlockable content. New features include an Extreme mode for The House of the Dead III that speeds up enemy attacks and adds a powerful Guard Attack melee move, plus faster shotgun reloads. The compilation supports single‑player, multiplayer, and co‑operative play, delivering fast‑paced horror action for both solo and group sessions.

So much fun

Apex Legends has been my go-to lately. Strong hero design. One gripe: steep aim skill ceiling. Would recommend.
