Vermin
Vermin is part of the Game & Watch series of handheld videogames. This game basically has the player moving left and right to smack incoming moles with hammers. If a any moles are left untouched for a few seconds, the player is penalized with a miss.
This game was remade for Game & Watch Gallery 2. The Modern Mode of this game featured Yoshi guarding six Yoshi Eggs from incoming Koopa Paratroopas, Fly Guys and Boos. The Boos wouldn't move if Yoshi is looking at one. If the any of the baddies are left unattended, they'll start pounding the eggs. If any egg gets completely broken, the player is penalized with a miss. Every 100 points, the player gets rewarded a bonus dependent on how many unbroken eggs are on the field. Moles will also appear every 200 points to lay a Heart on the field. Hitting the heart with the hammer will recover on third of damage done to the eggs.
The game has been remade for the Nintendo DSi in the DSi Ware. It was released in April 5, 2010 for the US, April 9, 2010 for Europe, and July 15, 2009 for Japan.
