I'm glad we're finally getting LIT, Icarian, and Cave Story, as well as Squibs Arcade, but I agree, where's Bit.Trip Beat? I mean, I doubt many people here would have Bonsai Barber over that... but based on the names alone (I'm not bothering to read the descriptions, too lazy) this list isn't too bad.
Well, it is only through July and depending on the pricing I think restricting myself to one disc release a month is probably going to be necessary as I'll no doubt be spending the equivalent on WiiWare and VC downloads every month!
Given Bit.Trip.Beat is coming to Japan next week I find it hard to believe they've not secured a European publisher yet, but I'm not waiting any longer, it will be mine next week!
It is late May, but considering the new weekly release schedule for WiiWare it should still be possible. At six weeks to go, NoE need to have at least four two game per week releases to fit them in though. Here's hoping.
First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women.
Considering how little of the list has been released and how much has been released that's not on it I'm getting the feeling the list simply doesn't apply.
Its only an outlook. Think about it, some of the games are still in development. They must go through the dangerous Nintendos QA dungeon, and sometimes they dont come back.
A new Fantasy Tactical RPG will be announced for WiiWare this month.
