Well deserved. Great game. Congratulations.

Sounds more interesting than I thought first. Maybe I will check it out, when it comes to Europe. Would be a nice one to have a Demo version to try it out first.

@Scottie. You can set number of lifes up to seven, and continue after game over, so the hardness will not stop you from going to later stages if you just give it a try.

I have the NES and this version, but only the Arcade brings back the childhood memories, as if I just played it last week, and not about 20 years ago.

I might download this tonight, together with some of the demos. Great review

Congrats to everyone! Enjoy the game!
After seeing, that this was an North-American competition only, I downloaded it with my remaining points, and didn't regret it Great game!

Got my copy today. But that doesn´t help UK a lot

That might turn out to be good. Hopefully, they will get the controls right. Will keep an eye on it. I liked Micro Machines very much back then.

@Chicken_Brutus: very funny. Who dares to review Space Ace when it´s released for Wii?

Seems to be more interesting, than I thought from the gameplay video.
BTW, how many Nintendo Points is it?

I have this since day one. Excellent game, not only for fans.
Reminds me, that I wanted to look at the DLC.

agreed ... wow.

Before Wimbledon, but together with Football World Cup.
So if I take days off for that, I have something to cover the day around the footy.

Great review Sean.
If they had a Demo version of the first level, that would probably be enough to stop my stress.

It's 20 Euro in Germany, that sounds like a fair deal. But I'm not sure if I want a minigame compilation right now. I'm too busy with SMBWii at the moment.

9 more days here. Can't wait.
@rhythmheavenfan: why do you think this is no single player game? I think it will be great fun for both single and multi player.

YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH !!

thanks everyone for the congrats

@Prosody: You got to play NSMBWii and Red Steel 2 this week? You're some lucky guy
Did you come across any more precise news about the release date than early next year?

I think a 7 is the appropriate score for this. I also can't come past minute 8 or so, but will try again soon. Good review of a decent game

Looks very interesting, and 500 is a real bargain.
I have full trust in Sean that he will test it to the last detail and will help me in my desicion to get it or not. Therefore, I feel similar than XC Warrior´s nonsense.

Instant download for me as well. Thanks very much for sharing all this and responding to the NL community requests.
Keep up the good work

I love games, which include physics. Will give it a try.

This comes to late for me. Anyway, looks like it's just an US offer.

@Machu Happy birthday and enjoy.
can't wait

Nice look behind the scenes. Also like the history idea, except from greak and roman mythologies, there are interesting other ones, not so well known. There's plenty I can think of.

Tried this over the weekend. Think that a 7 is the appropriate score for this. Nice game to come back to, if you have only a few minutes of time to play. Overall it´s good fun and makes you very ambitious, when you get a hang of it. Anyone, who likes puzzles should consider a download. 800 Points sounds fair to me. Hopefully, the upcomming DLC will not be a rip-off.

as this is already out here in Europe, I might have a look.

Or maybe I'll wait for the review first, that can save you some pesos from time to time

Puzzle plus some action, with nice visuals. Bring it on

that's something for the ladies

Just yesterday I saw Madden 09 for a budget price in a shop.

Is Madden 10 worth double the price or should I go with last years version?

btw - Madden 09 was not reviewed on this site.

@HEMIII: the US has a World Series for every crap. Probably because most doesn't know that there is life out there. Poor stupid us

@Sean: I tried the other Texas Hold Em. Didn't enjoy it very much. If someone likes online Poker, go to according web sites. All WiiWare versions are pretty useless so far. Nice review

Had the chance to play this at fhe Gamescom today in four player co-op. Plays very nice, the new propeller suit is a cool feature. I also liked the look very much. Nintendo hasn't overdone it by changing just enough to improve, but not too much, to make it hard to recognise it as SMB right away.

Motion controls to bring a more authentic Rugby League experience to your home

I wonder, how that will work... am I suppose to scrum with the couch ?

So I guess the best thing about this game was the review
At least it made Chicken Brutus write a top-notch review with many parts to smile about

Thanks for taking the bullet for us.

thanks. and bash on.

will have this on my radar. looks very promising.

I suppose this does not support WM+. Then you could bash your opponent´s face more accurately

Anything worth mentioning about controls in general?

Another lame week for WiiWare though

very nice... another proof, that Nintendo gamers are more clever / creative

"but unless you'd really like to test which of your friends can shake the fastest,"...
think, we´re beyond that age

best things in life are free. might be the first reason to switch to DSi
