Nintendo is bringing back Dr. Mario and has announced the release of Dr. Mario & Germ Buster on the Nintendo Wii as a WiiWare game. Players have to help stop the germs from spreading by matching pills. Dr Mario & Germ Buster

In case you weren’t around in the Nintendo Entertainment System days, Dr. Mario, the original, was a game similar to Tetris. The object of the game is to make a four of a kind match of one color. The viruses are eliminated when they are included in the four of a kind match. The viruses are all colored. The pills are dropped by Dr. Mario and they are also colored. The pills have to be aligned in a formation that matches the color of the virus in a four of a kind horizontal or vertical line. Kill all of the viruses and you beat the level.

Dr. Mario & Germ Buster adds a new mode, Germ Buster mode, to the mix. Players use the Wii Remote to grab the pills, rotate and slot the pills. Players can play against the computer in single player mode, against each other in two player mode or with other people over Nintendo Wi-Fi connection.

In Dr. Mario, challenge the computer in 1 Player mode, go head-to-head with a friend in 2 Player mode, or prove your skills against the world via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. You can also send a demo version of the game to a friend (within your region) using WiiConnect24.

In Germ Buster (based on the relaxation game in More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima), up to four players can use their Wii Remotes to grab, spin and slot capsules as your Miis try to keep the nasty bugs at bay. Who thought that catching germs could be so much fun?
