News Nintendo UK Launches New WiiWare Portal
See what you're missing out on
WiiWare, it's safe to say, hasn't had quite the impact some would have hoped. Its problems have been well-documented — not least on this site — but Nintendo UK is throwing more weight behind the service with a new online portal called We are WiiWare. Designed to showcase some of the best games and the teams...
Interviews Curve Studios - Fluidity / Hydroventure
Developers spill about Fluidity
Fluidity was recently released on WiiWare in North America and we were very impressed with the game's unique approach and fluid execution. With the game making its debut today on the European WiiWare service under its new moniker Hydroventure , we thought it might be a good time to sit down with developer Curve...

A mix of old and new
This week offers yet more catchup titles, consisting of games released in North America within the past few weeks, as well as the last few months. There's also two new games, however, both of which are for DSiWare and both of which are new instalments in two series which have been going for a while now. WiiWare: Hydroventure...
Nintendo Download 6th December 2010 (North America)
Water, fire and much, much more
Never let it be said that the Nintendo Download lacks variety. On the same day that Nintendo launches new water-based puzzle game Fluidity, Korner Entertainment conquers completely the opposite end of the scale with virtual fireplace simulator Fireplacing. DSiWare is equally varied, with portable music studio Rytmik:...
News It's Ice to See this New Fluidity Trailer
Snow more puns, we promise
Fluidity wets WiiWare's appetite today, so there's no better time to show off this new trailer from Nintendo revealing more about the multiple forms you'll be able to use in the game.

News Fluidity Flows to North America on December 6th
Wet your appetite
Whilst Europeans can experience Hydroventure on Christmas Eve, WiiWare fans in North America get a small headstart, as the game will be released on December 6th under the name Fluidity.

About The Game
Aquatic puzzle action!
Fluidity combines an amazing physics engine that realistically models flowing water with innovative puzzle game play. Using the three forms of water – liquid, ice and cloud –players will solve challenging puzzles across multiple chapters of an illustrated magical book called Aquaticus.
The game offers detailed tutorials that introduce basic game mechanics, but the complexity quickly ramps up as special powers are acquired and enemies are introduced, testing players' reflexes and ingenuity.

This one has me intrigued.
Interesting to say the least... I wonder if this is the the "water-theme" game Shiggy was talking about?
Sounds like a cool idea, but I have to see/know more about the game.
Seattle's PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) will feature this game at their event before its official release on the WiiWare service.
I'm looking forward to this game. Looks quality all 'round.
Very cool looking. Haven't bought a WiiWare game in a while, but this one looks like it might be good.
That looks awesome. Nothing really innovative, it would seem, but it looks like a solid game.
I dont even see the game on the shopping network. I think its a hoax. they def did not release today... hopefully when I log on later its there... maybe we have to wait till noon here on the east coast
@wallyobass12 Yes, it's always at noon EST. i hate waiting, but I got the demo.
It reminds me of Loco Roco for PSP and Comix Zone the way you are moving around on pages in a book and going to new panels. I'm enjoying the demo and moving my water around while trying not to lose my smaller drops that get separated, but I don't know if I like it enough to get the full version
@vcmacleod yeah I dunno, I just got the demo too. It's pretty fun, but like you said, I'm having trouble keeping my pool of water in one viscous whole. Like similar games that use the wii remote as some sort of balance stick, I am having trouble getting a hang of the controls. It may be that I am just inherently bad with motor skills, or it may objectively just not feel right. All in all, im going to wait for a review, most likely a buy, but I want to know how many levels there are and if the player eventually adjusts to the controls. I mean maybe I just didn't give it enough time, but I kept losing my water..
@peterifico yeah I finally figured that out lol. The demo is different from the full verison, u dont get that special move till later. Its pretty fun though, and judging by the amount of time NL is taking to write a review, it must be worthy of the 12 american dollars I threw at it. All in all hoping there are some cooler moves later on too.
When's the review up NL?
Love this game
[strike]Not my cup of tea.[/strike]
Just played the demo and I am digging this game, going to buy it soon!
Just got that game and... wow, just... wow. It's easy to understand by anyone, control is perfect, and the physics engine is one of the best 2D ones that I've ever seen in my entire gaming life. The price tag might seem a bit hefty, but it's still a steal for 1200 points. Great game!
Perfect time to get if you're a Club Nintendo member!
my all-time favourite game right here
