Update: December 20, 2007
«©NCSX» A snow maiden (aka Yuki Musume) teams up with a bunny-like familiar and her sister to beat back an onslaught of spirits, snowmen, mummies, and their overlords. Why is a mummy shuffling across the snow with both arms raised? No one knows but there are sights even stranger than the wrapped undead in Yukinko Daisenpuu including huge grubs that fall from trees and purplish imps that pop out of nowhere. The snow maiden uses the power of winter to meet her goals where oversized snowflakes and pointy icicles are shot at enemies to dispatch them. Power-ups may be picked up to enhance firepower or gain speed. The nunchuk is used for maneuvering and the Wii Remote serves as the launching mechanism for snow projectiles. The enemy generally attacks in waves where they'll approach Yuki like a mob. During certain points in the game, the action stops and a warning indicator appears on the screen. That's your cue to take cover or start firing shots because a powerful wave of enemy attackers are on the way where they sweep through the screen with destructive force. In addition to a single player game, up to two players may collaborate for a concerted attack. Jan Code: 4948297010981 This game is also known as Yukinko Daisenpuu.

2 Players
Boss Attack
Boss Attack 2P
Option » Leave it alone and a high score table pops up along with an animation of a blue cat. Leave it alone some more and a prologue is shown which features static artwork and text that tells the background story of the game. » The game is played with both the nunchuk and Wii Remote. If you don't have the nunchuk plugged in, the game won't allow you to proceed until it's connected. Start a new game and the static story plays again. » Once the game starts, the purple haired girl named Yuki appears in front of a house and the landscape is covered with snow. There are icy blue trees and brush that dot the land. A little floating rabbit with green ears follows the heroine around and is her familiar. Move around with the analog thumbstick and proceed to the left to face some floating snowmen wearing red hats who bounce up and down. Shoot them by pressing the "A" button and continue onwards. Snowmen with top hats appear followed by mummies which throw toilet paper rolls at the heroine. Shoot them and they'll become encased in coffins. » At some junctures, a snow spirit warning pops up onscreen which is an indicator that a flock of ghosts are about to fly through the area. You can evade or shoot them but if your firepower isn't kicked up, it's probably better to evade since the ghosts are plenty and the heroine's shots won't be able to keep up with their numbers. Witches, mermaids, imps wielding pitchforks, grubs, and other enemies also pervade the game world. » If you continue to the south, the snow-covered lands eventually give way to a summery land with green trees and an olive landscape. The snowman enemies still persist however. » Igloos serve as monster generators from which snowmen and other creatures emerge. » When Yuki dies, she'll twirl around before collapsing on the ground.
