Game Description

Once again, Nintendo takes one of its classic franchises and gives it a next-generation update, keeping the fundamentals of character and gameplay while pushing the limits of new hardware.

Old favorites like the Freeze and Wave beams will be available, along with a new arsenal of sci-fi weaponry.
