Review Mr. Driller W (WiiWare)

Drill, baby, drill!
That Mr. Driller W would be among the better puzzle games on the WiiWare service was somewhat of a given. It's a close relation to Dig Dug - a classic arcade series if there ever was one - and its own line of releases spans more consoles than you might have known existed. Mr. Driller has a long, rich and well-established history,...

First Impressions Mr. Driller World

The plucky arcade star comes to WiiWare!
The gameplay is so simple you would be right to wonder why a game like this wasn't released for the Atari 2600, and this is a large part of the attraction and part of the novelty: the idea of what is essentially a classic arcade game being released in 1999 when arcade games were almost exclusively lightgun...

Mr. Driller W is the newly updated version of the exciting game that challenges players with level upon level of frantic underground drilling action.

Experience more than 20 varied stages and missions. Drill through a seemingly endless onslaught of colored blocks while avoiding falling obstacles and strategically managing your air supply. Multiple degrees of difficulty now challenge everyone from novices to hardcore Mr. Driller veterans. A tutorial will even help first-time players learn the rules quickly and easily. Vibrant graphics, engaging game play and loads of characters make this a modern twist on a gaming masterpiece.

Drill Spirits is/was good IMHO, though I don't own it anymore. There is going to be a DSiware version also hopefully with an extra mode over the Wiiware version (which is in Drill Spirits - Drillstone Driller mode I believe). Will probably get both wii and dsi versions actually!

I've played the original on the DC and in the arcades, the second one on GBA, Drill Spirits on the DS and I've got Drill Land for the Cube, so PLEASE finally release W in the W(est). I love the whole series.
