Topic: WiiWare Recommendations Thread

Tell them that its stupid in the survey comments. Must be a European question. I don't remember being asked that in NA recently

I think it's the question they ask you in the eShop ratings: they always ask if the games are for everyone/gamers and whether the play is casual/intense, which almost always feels like they're asking the same question twice. I think I only gave opposite answers once, and it was for a game that was pretty much middle of the spectrum anyway.

Can anyone recommend a good WiiWare game for 500 points?

@Xilef, I'd also recommend escape VeKtor, but you'd be better off just waiting for all 4 chapters to reach the eShop. If you download the original WiiWare version, you'll never be able to complete the entire series or unlock the additional content.

Airport Mania

Here's a list of all my favorite WiiWare games I've downloaded. I left a few of the WiiWare games I've downloaded off the list, because I just don't feel comfortable recommending them to anyone.

In alphabetical order:
1) Art of Balance
2) And Yet It Moves
3) Aya - Cubes of Light
4) Blaster Master: Overdrive
5) Bobby Carrot Forever & DLC
6) FAST - Racing League
7) Fluidity
8) Max & The Magic Marker
9) Moto Heroz
10) Toki Tori
11) TV Show King 2
12) World of Goo

My Zoo is definately one of the worst games on WiiWare. With all DLC it is 900 Wii Points but if you really want a zoo game then you should get World of Zoo on retail. It's extremely cheap now, I found it used for 5 bucks. World of Zoo is from the same genre as My Zoo but infinitely better, with much more content, and much more animals, with more stuff to do and unlock, and especially with much better animations and vividness that is completely lacking in My Zoo. My Zoo should be called "My Robots Covered In Fur". It's that soulless. Not an 8/10 like in the review on this site, you better believe that.

Home Sweet Home is ok. It has 50 different houses/missions (plus your own house/freemode) so it's quite good content, but the gameplay is a mixed bag. The missions can be interesting, puzzling and creative, but the gameplay can become repetitive after awhile.

Penguins & Friends is a funny and strategic board game for up to 4 players. And that's the only way to play this in my opinion. I recommend this if you have 3 others to play with. Like with all party games you wouldn't play it for days but load it up every once in a while when enough people are in the mood for a bit of contest. On that note you should check out Jungle Speed as well.

Monsteca Corral
Airport Mania
Both are cheap and excellent.

The WiiWare version has I think 80+ stages and I heard the DS versions has less. I don't know about the differences but it always seemed awkward to me to play this on DS because you can't touch the airplanes on the top screen. Also thanks to the bigger screen on the Wii it doesn't feel cluttered and I think objects are easier to pick. A big plus for multiplayer fans is that you can play the WiiWare version with up to 4 players cooperatively at any time in any level.

Castlevania Rebirth Yes or No
im in a castlevania fever atm and noticed i got money left on my Wii.

So the question is Castlevania Rebirth worth it ? I bought Contra Rebirth which is too from konami. And personally i think contra rebirth was utter crap. Even those chinese contras for nes seemed better oO
And yes i like retro and classical gameplay. I loved Rondo of Blood and Contra4.
So what are your thoughts?

Why do you think that Contra Rebirth is utter crap? It is designed to be reminiscent to Super Probotector (aka Contra III: The Alien wars). I would say Castlevania Rebirth is reminiscent to Super Castevania IV. No RPG elements, without frills, just the pure action.

i say that because its crap. Hands down contra3 alien wars is the second best contra after contra4. But Rebirth was a bad joke seriously. Graphical style was inferior, anime style is not fitting for the contra franchise, weapons were less interesting, blurry visuals do i have to go on ?
So rebirth is more like super castlevania4 ? Its not more like rondo of blood ? :/

Super Castlevania IV, Rondo of Blood and Dracula X (on the SNES) are very similar in my opinion. They're all old school 16-bit style castlevanias without the RPG elements of newer installments.

Though I can't see why you think that Contra Rebirth has an inferior graphic style than Contra III. Maybe you have a very delicate flavor. In the end you might think that Castlevania Rebirth does not look as good as Rondo of Blood. I would suggest checking out some YouTube videos first before buying.

I personally think that Castlevania Rebirth was very enjoyable and worth the money. But I enjoyed Contra Rebirth as well. So this may not mean much.

What are the MUST HAVE Wii Ware games?

I asked for some recommendations on some games on the Wii board based on demos I enjoyed (And Yet it Moves, Art of Balance, Dive:Medes Island, Jett Rocket, Max & the Magic Marker, NyxQuest. Also Mega Man 10 - I like Mega Man and already have MM9, I just don't know if I'd rather have a different experience rather than another Mega Man), but I found some more I am interested in and thought I'd put them here since I'm just asking WiiWare this time.
Bobby Carrot Forever - looks like Chip's Challenge which is an awesome game
Phoenix Wright - played the 2nd one (Justice for All?) on DS, but that's all I've played. This is cheaper than I can get on DS, but is it right that it's missing some content?
Any of the Art Style games - I don't know much about the individual titles other than they're all supposed to be great. Any recommendations.
Any of the ReBirth games, including Blaster Master: Overdrive
Toki Tori - think I'll get it on 3DS, is there any reason to get this version instead?
Liight, Tomena Sanner, EscapeVektor - think I'll just wait for the full 3ds version of this.

So would anybody recommend or absolutely not recommend any of these? Thanks.

There's no definite answer to that. It varies from person to person.
Personally, I'd say Cave Story, La-Mulana, Mega Man 9, Mega Man 10, Lostwind 1 & 2 are all must-have.

I can recommend And Yet It Moves, Liight, and Tomena Sanner. I personally didn't like Art of Balance though.

I'd say those games and World of Goo
