Don't worry, eripmav. IGN shouldn't be taken seriously with their WiiWare reviews. Just look at their reviews for other WiiWare games just this year. Much of the writing find within their reviews leaves much to be desired especially due to the fact that many of their reviews are inaccurate and they don't give proper credit where it's due and other inconsistencies.
I have stopped reading the IGN reviews as well; NL usually beats them to it, so why bother? Their previews, very occasional video exclusives and some news items are my only draw. Many days I click the link look at the page and don't read anything!
I think the problem with IGN, is that the reviewers don't really have that same admiration for Nintendo like the people from this site. I think it feels like they aren't really Nintendo fans, they just work at the site, and got stuck on the Nintendo team. I must admit, that I still listen to the IGN Nintendo podcast(i just love podcasts in general), and it was odd to hear Mark Bozon say something about the fact that he doesn't actually own a Wii, he just plays it at the office. So I guess that just makes me think that it's just work to them, and not something they truly love. But eh, whatever, I am just glad I have a site like this to come to for reviews I can trust.
Yeah I couldn't really find much info on the net, and I strolled across a video by a user named Link6694 on Youtube. I saw Eripmav posted on the video, so its cool to actually see people outside of Nintendo Life that are loving the game, I think that was my deciding factor in downloading the title.

Ah, I didn't realized he posted here brain-fart. Yeah I subbed to him, because it was nice to actually see some one who reviews a wide variety of titles.

Thing is with the WiiWare charts, you'd be surprised as to how many you need to sell to gain a chart position in the EU, it's not actually "that" many. Not sure about the US though...
No, it's not been there yet afaik. Hopefully more reviews will spur on sales:) Could you enlighten me as to the bigger gaming websites based in Canada?
Well I'm Canadian and I work with Wiiloveit. Not too many gaming websites are Canadian-based honestly which is a shame. Or if they are, they're not big sites. Most are U.S.-focused/based as you probably already know. Maybe there are some sites I frequent that are secretly based in Canada so I can't say for sure. I'll try to look into it for you.
