EnjoyUp Games has announced the retro-styled 99Seconds for DSiWare and the 3DS eShop service. The game allows the player to modify time to avoid danger. After finishing off Black Eye in 99Bullets, V-99 entered “a mysterious zone” called Bit 8 inhabited by Black Vectors hellbent, apparently, on destroying anything entering their domicile. The concept of 99Seconds is to survive using SlowDown to control time and avoid the enemies. Blue Energies will appear during the game providing the player with extra time. When the time reaches zero, the SlowDown power disappears, and if hit, the player will be defeated.

This week’s small collection of downloadable delights for your Nintendo hardware includes one whole title for the Wii. Happy days!
