The Brave Little Toaster, the protagonist in the eponymous 1980s kid's movie, has learned that courage is no match for his potential nemesis, Eduardo the Samurai Toaster. The more formidable appliance stars in a game that is part of this week's offerings in Nintendo's weekly download slate.
In Eduardo the Samurai Toaster, players and up to three other friends assume the roles of anthropomorphized toasters through 13 levels of side-scrolling action. The toasters vanquish their enemies ("dastardly food products") with an assortment of pastries. Players can hop onto laser-mounted scooters and don rocket packs as they buzz across the screen. The game is available for 800 Wii points ($8 ).
