I want this on my Wii so friggin bad, hopefully it gets picked up.

The Wiiware version is already done. They've already spent all of the money that they needed to develop it. It wouldn't cost them any more money to release it.

@ImDiggerDan The problem with that is that the Wiiware version is already done and can be released at any time, while porting it to the 3DS would take some amount of work, having to go through and check for bugs, make sure everything still works etc and then have to go through Nintendo's submission process all over again..

@DrKarl That would be the first kickstarter project I'd ever support. I really want to play La-Mulana on my Wii!

Nintendo seems very reluctant for some reason to run any sort of special promotions on their digital stores or to even do anything to give people a reason to visit them. They really need to take a more modern and consumer-friendly stance next gen if they want to be competitive with the other platforms in the realm of digital downloads.

This reminds me of the crappy java games that were made for cell phones from 10 years ago. Not really worth anyone's time.

Not that I disagree with him, but isn't there already a control option that lets you aim with the joystick and move with the face buttons? It seems like it should have been easy to implement dual joystick controls once they had that option in place. But still, given how much better the touch screen controls are for aiming he probably shouldn't have put in the other control option at all.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this to ever come out. It's kind of hard to justify buying it for Wii when you can get it on GOG for only 6 bucks, though.

You should have asked him what he thought about developers like Shinen, Wayforward, and Renegade Kid, all of whom have had and continue to have plenty of success supporting Nintendo's digital platforms. Maybe refer him to Jools Watsham's blog post entitled "Publishing games on the 3DS is hard. I give up!”, where he outlines the steps he takes to maximize his game's chances of succeeding.

Aww man I was looking forward to this, hopefully they release it for 3DS or Wii-U.

They should give away krimpets and tea with all of their games in Britain, they'll shoot straight to the top of the charts.

Is this gonna run at 60 fps? I can't stand racing games that run at less than 60.

I'd love to buy this as soon as it's available in America, but NOA seems to be not very interested in supporting the Wii and Wiiware platforms any longer so who knows if/when that's gonna happen.

Loved Art of Balance, can't wait to play this although I'm not convinced that touch controls can match the perfection of the Wiimote pointer.

I would absolutely love this. Wii U, please!

Man, I would've bought the DS version SO HARD if it had come over.

The game would've been a lot better on the Wii, the land sections would've controlled a lot better and the extra power would've enabled them to get it running at a constant 60 fps rather than the shaky 30 of the 3DS version.

What a whiny, childlike mentality this developer has. He won't be missed.

Yeah this looks and sounds pretty lame.

The more I read about this game, the more I can't wait to play it. It's like Rhythm Heaven meets Professor Layton. What's not to love?

This looks like it should be an eshop game.

The only thing this game does for me is it makes me want some Art Style games to come out for 3DS.

Man, I was looking forward to picking this up next month.

This looks a LOT better than any of the recent Frogger games, judging by the screenshots that were posted on their facebook page. It looks like a modernized take on Frogger that still manages to be faithful to the original, similar to Space Invaders Extreme or Pac-Mac CE.

The teaser video looks terrific. I'll be all over this if it's on the Wii U.

Hopefully the delay ensures that they can get the game running at a full 60 fps in 3D. Although it's not wise to expect Ubisoft to put any effort into any of their Nintendo games, they do surprise me once in a while (Red Steel 2, Forgotten Sands Wii).

@billy-beauts If you want to play a fast-paced game, one which relies heavily on precision controls, by aiming with a thumbstick, then you've failed yourself.

Only a 9?!?! HOW COULD YOU??? PREORDER CANCELLED!!!!

(This is a joke, in case your sarcasm meter is broken)

Thruspace was awesome, I'll be buying this day 1

Assassin's Creed 3? Isn't there like 8 of them now?

Is that a View to a Kill reference in the tagline? Awesome!

It's just Sokoban. There are (literally) millions of Sokoban puzzles that you can play for free on just about any system or web browser. No need to spend money on this.

Achievements are the worst "innovation" of this gen, along with DLC.

What's up with taking off points because it's a home console game that resembles a portable game? A great game is a great game no matter where you play it. The reviewer also misses the mark when he says that the game is no different from the handheld games on a conceptual level, since he's completely ignoring the fact that the vastly improved audio and visual quality allows them to do things with audio and visual cues (and distractions) that would have been impossible on the DS. IMO the game is absolutely flawless and definitely deserves a 10.

Wow, what a shameless Canabalt ripoff.

I'm so importing this.

Hey guys, Hyu Stone is not the same game as SpeedThru, though they do look somewhat similar. SpeedThru is a sequel to the (excellent) Wiiware game Thruspace, while Hyu Stone involves dropping a rock down a hole and moving it to avoid obstacles. I've been hoping for Hyu Stone to come out in the West for a long time, and your comment raised my hopes only to dash them quite expertly. Bravo!

So they cut out half the levels but still charge the same price? What a rip-off! Guess I'll be skipping this one.

"As for the motion controls, we don’t think Toki Tori needs those and adding them to the game as it is currently designed does not make much sense."
Remember how in the Wiiware version, they let you select skills by flicking the Wiimote left or right? LOL, I guess they finally realized what a pointless option that was. Toki Tori is still one of the best downloadable games ever, so I'm eagerly anticipating the sequel. I hope this doesn't mean that they're leaving out the Wiimote pointer control scheme for the sequel though, that was by far my preferred method for controlling the original.

I can't believe I saw this article, and even posted a comment earlier, but I'm just now noticing that the Burgertime Wiiware game is finally coming out! LOL brain fart.

What is this Wii Virtual Console which you speak of? I've never heard of it.

That would've made a nice birthday present for me, if not for the fact that I already imported it from Europe!

Dual joystick controls are a joke and really need to be phased out for a more practical and more accurate solution (like IR or gyroscopic controls), so I'm very disappointed that Nintendo decided to go in this direction.

@nickcarney Yep, you can move while aiming, at least in first person mode. Though you can't run, you can only walk.

I'm really in love with how well the gyro controls work in this game and OoT and Face Raiders. To me, they work just as well as a mouse does on PC shooters, and they completely eliminate the need for any game to use dual joysticks. I don't have any problem keeping the 3D effect while using them, either. To me, the gyroscopes are the 3DS's best feature. Now if only some more devs would actually make some games that took advantage of them!

@mariofanatic128 There's also another RPG on Wiiware called Sorcery Blade, but it was only released in Japan. Too bad, it looked pretty cool!

A system only twice as powerful as Xbox 360 couldn't have run that Zelda demo in a million years.

You guys seem to be asking a lot out of a 200 point DSiware game. I think what they managed to pull off here is extremely impressive, given the DS's limited hardware.

Holy @#$%, that tagline was AMAZING! Too bad most of the readers probably won't get the reference, lousy kids.

When are they gonna put back the games they took down? I wanted to buy Shootanto :/
