Overview
Description

Spyborgs puts players in the shoes of a cyborg secret agent, choosing from Clandestine, Bouncer or Stinger to battle through sci‑fi levels. The game supports two‑player split‑screen co‑op, with AI filling the second slot in single‑player mode. Using the Wii Remote, motion gestures unleash special attacks, while button controls offer a classic alternative. Earn experience to upgrade abilities and combine attacks for extra damage.

The Ninja Warriors delivers classic side‑scrolling hand‑to‑hand combat where players control either Kunoichi or Ninja, battling waves of Banglar forces across five dystopian levels. Each character features unique combo moves, dash attacks, throws, stabbing, and air strikes, with a special energy bar that fuels powerful attacks when filled.
