			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been nearly two decades since <em>FINAL FANTASY</em>® <em>MYSTIC QUEST</em>® first thrilled audiences on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System™. Now, thanks to the Virtual Console™ service, Wii™ owners can enjoy this classic adventure all over again.

New offerings on the Nintendo DSiWare™ service will put hand-held gamers&#8217; strategic mettle to the test, whether they&#8217;re shooting blocks from a UFO to complete picture puzzles in <em>Snapdots</em>™ or commanding a massive aircraft carrier in <em>Armada</em>.

<p></strong></span><strong><em>ThruSpace<br />
</em>Publisher: </strong>Nintendo<br />
<strong>Players: </strong>1<br />
<strong>ESRB Rating: </strong>E (Everyone)<br />
<strong>Price: </strong>800 Wii Points<br />
<strong>Description: </strong><em>ThruSpace </em>is an exciting puzzle game in which you move and rotate an object called a keydron through gaps in walls. Putting your keydron through a gap earns you points, but mastering this ability allows you to perform combos (picking up pairs of crystals simultaneously) and tricks (rotating the keydron so that its shadow covers all of the gap before passing through it), which are key to achieving high scores. Refine your skills in multiple game modes (Normal, Endless and Trick Challenge), brush up on the rules in Keydron Tutorial, or watch replay data in Keydron Memories. As the game progresses, the number of available keydrons, backgrounds, stages and levels will increase. If you have a broadband Internet connection, you can register your high scores on the leaderboard via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection and compare scores with other <em>ThruSpace </em>players. This game is easy to play but difficult to master. Do you have the skills and reflexes necessary to overcome the increasingly complex challenges of <em>ThruSpace</em>?</p>
