Ben: They destroyed planet Pluto! Alien whose name I don't remember: Pluto wasn't a planet. It was a dwarf planet.
I like the show, but I have doubts about the quality of a WiiWare game based on it, especially after the mediocre reviews that the the full disc game received.
Ash: Professor Oak, how's your Bulbasaur?
Prof. Oak: Oh, it only hurts when I sit.
...
Prof. Oak: It's only Chansey if Krabby won't let go. Bye, now.
Ash: I don't think I'm going to call him anymore.
Don't be put off by the licence title, the Ben 10 games on ds that we have owned in the past: Protector of the Earth, Alien Force and Vilgax Attacks have all been competent 2d side scrolling platform efforts which me and my lad have enjoyed. I'm glad Konami haven't merely ported one of these to wiiware and have gone for a new game, the rise of hex.
