Overview
Description

Nicky Boom follows the brave youngster Nicky as he ventures into a dark keep to free his grandfather from the witch Zoldrane. Along the way, he confronts monsters and uncovers ancient tribal secrets. In the sequel included in this pack, Nicky faces even greater darkness, battling monstrous creatures to restore light to his homeland. Both games blend classic platforming with a compelling story.

Sonic Colors is a platforming adventure starring Sonic the Hedgehog as he battles Dr. Eggman in an intergalactic amusement park. The game blends 3D third‑person runs with side‑scrolling sections and introduces Wisps, alien power‑ups that grant new abilities. Released worldwide for Wii and Nintendo DS in November 2010, the title offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes, appealing to younger gamers and families with its colorful visuals and accessible difficulty.
