Topic: Today's WiiWare lineup

Nothing special today according to the Nintendo Channel, but you do get four games: Stop Stress, My Dolphin, Magnetis and Flowerworks.

Actually, that's a potentially competent lineup. Nothing that'll blow up the charts, but Stop Stress is unique, Magnetic has a great style, and Flowerworks looks quite robust. Not sure about My Dolphin, but I've heard okay things about the Japanese release.

Stop Stress has a good chance to fail, but Flowerworks looks promising. I'd like to hear some impressions of that one.

i've played the pc version of flowerworks, and i really like it.

it's one of those addicting action puzzle games.

Two puzzle games, a simulator, and an example of Japanese weirdness. Pretty lousy lineup, in my opinion.

Flowerworks isn't bad so far. I found the written instructions confusing at first and the tutorial doesn't really explain what you're supposed to do unless you hover over a help button, but the controls work well and it's very accessible for anyone to play using the pointer and A button primarily. Rather than just being presented like a standard puzzle game there's an Adventure Mode where you walk around to various levels; it's not clear yet if this is just padding or actually adds something new to the game yet. I'm also on the fence about the price.

I'll hopefully have played enough to do the review tomorrow.
