Review Midnight Bowling (WiiWare)
How many points does a game score for a gutter ball?
Gameloft has given Wiiware some of its best titles like Midnight Pool and Wild West Guns, so it was with great anticipation that we sat down to enjoy their latest offering, Midnight Bowling. Although some would argue that Wii Sports renders any other bowling game redundant, we feel that there is...

News EU WiiWare Update: Midnight Bowling and Potpourrii
Let's pretend there were no new WiiWare games this week and call it a day. It'd probably be better than what we really got.
First up is the dreadful Midnight Bowling, which was released in the US earlier this week. Not much companies have bothered to make any competition for Wii Sports's bowling minigame yet - This is probably the reason why...
News USA WiiWare Update: Midnight Bowling And MadStone
There is something for everyone today on the Wii Shop. First up is Midnight Bowling, another successful Gameloft cellphone game now brought lovingly to WiiWare. When we reviewed Midnight Pool back in August we quite liked it so there is every chance this might be worth a look too if you have grown tired of Wii Sports bowling.
If puzzlers are your...

The 2D shooter will be arriving on the Japanese WiiWare service next Tuesday (alongside Midnight Bowling and what appears to be some kind of Othello variant), which...

Probably pointless to everyone who owns Wii Sports.
Well lets see. Could compete with Wiisport's bowling...
Not expecting much for this...its a remake of a mobile game.
Why would i want this when I can bowl on Wii Sports? Maybe a new control scheme? I love Wii Sports' scheme so I'm probably not getting it.
Pointless, indeed.
@ Kevin
You can also play Wii sports at midnight. Which totally makes this game pointless. Ha Ha just kidding But whats with the midnight stuff?
well maybe we will see online with this title
I'll stick with Wii Sports, thank you. Come on, Gameloft, I know you got better games that you could port than this, so come on already!
pointless if u has wii sports
this sounds like wii sports the only thing i can see them doing different is adding online features 2 it
Must buy bowling game.
Now that Midnight Pool is out we can see that Gameloft made the Wii version much fancier than their original cell phone release. I expect something similar from them with this game, hopefully with a 'story' mode of some sort to add more depth than Wii Sports had.
@Terranigma
You can't ask for much more than that in a bowling sim. I'm curious to see what they do to make this game worthwhile, but I can't help but feel that they will fall short of that goal.
Edit: Nothing, apparently.
You know, I am very curious with this game now with the much success that Gameloft is getting with their WiiWare lineup. Plus, Midnight Pool is a good game too.
gonna dowload this NOW! lol lucky me got an japanese wii, lol
@samus2008: What were your first impressions? Is it any good?
it was ok, but the controls were just awkward, it seems no one besides nintendo can make a decent bowling game for wii! XD
Maybe if it's got online multiplayer and lots of fancy modes and doodads, i'll look into this. I loves me a good bowling game!
theres no online for midnight bowling..
On Nintendo Channel it says it's out next Friday in Europe
I would have steered well clear of this title had I ot take a chance with midight pool. I am keen to see what gameloft can do with the midight IP
I found avideo of this Game by Nintendaan for you: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=pZymZNRH0dg&feature=related
Added video, shame Gameloft haven't supplied us with the official one yet. I guess even they aren't too enthusiastic about this! lol
@Dazza
I guess so
@Dazza: It's already on the Nintendo Channel, I recorded it and wanted to upload it for Wiiware World, but then I found Nintendaan's and decided to not upload it, since his is in better quality
Ha Ha HA! .. the video makes this game even more terrible. Also what's with the loading screens, looks like porn. (funky bass line)
I downloaded the game before reading the review. The review is right on. Yeah, it's cheap, but a crappy game that costs a penny is still a crappy game. Gamesoft obviously thinks gamers are suckers. (Well, there's me.) And Nintendo needs quality control in the Wii Store, or at least a place for user comments.
