Niki - Rock 'n' Ball Coming To European WiiWare This Friday

gahhh first!

Okay, now that I've secured my first... I just have one thing to say. Can we trust BPlus?

not really interested in this to be honest, something else to add to my growing list of games i dont want from wiware!

Maybe this will help make up for the lack of World of Goo. (Okay maybe that was just plain mean of me)

Seriously, I'm excited for European gamers to finally get a chance to play World of Goo. I'm especially anxious to see the comments on it.

@Corbie - It sure was. This game looks fairly stupid, but I won't judge it until I see a review or two.

Wow 500 points, I love BPlus' work. I can't wait until it comes in NA!

I knew this was coming out for a day or so now. Due to a previous post. Well its nice to know everything is official now. Hopefuly this game is better than Planttechen.

This one looks awesome.

PLEASE be good. ^^

500 wii points

Looks ehh to me, maybe if i have a left over 500 points.

Or i could use it on a good NES game...

I have to give BPlus cred for trying different things with the remote. However, whatever it is they are doing with the Wii Remote tilting does not look comfortable. In fact, it's giving me horrible flashbacks to playing Mario with the Power Glove.

The last game was marred partly by its controls. I hope BPlus doesn't make the same mistake twice!

It actually looks decent. Here's hoping they deliver. I still have 500 points that can be theirs...

i'm very unsure. we could certainly use some more platforming type action. i'm wait for a reviews. and hopefully, the reviewer will consider this a separate game, and not the thoughts of platchen impact this game.

This actually doesn't look terrible. The only thing that's still getting to me is the control. Couldn't they have just controlled the character by making the player hold the Wiimote like a steering wheel?

I'm surprisingly interested in this one.

It looks quite fun as it reminds me of some fun and simple C64 games Even that controlling system reminds me of playing games with a good old C64 joystick.

And with only 500 points being the price, I think I'm going to buy it if it's going to have even remotely good review.

I like Plattchen, and I believe I'm gonna like this one (the price helps), also I read it can be played with the crosspad too, if that's so Bplus got a buyer.

Looks more like a tech demo to me. I don't even get what the point is in this game. And the controls don't look all that friendly either.

Whilst I agree this one doesn't look terrible it doesn't look very exciting either. 6/10 at best I reckon and that's just because of the cheapo price point.

Uhm... BPlus... the one who made Plättchen... I'll wait for the reviews...

@Virsu: Classic Controls are available
500 points sounds nice, however I hope it's better than the 500ers we had till now.

I think the 500 points is due to the price of Plättchen over here. Bet this will be 1000 points in the US

At 500 points I expect this should sell nicely if the game doesn't stink somehow.
Even if it does stink it might still do well. The Incredible Maze...

If this is 'it' from Nintendo Europe for Christmas instead of World of Goo,
Art Style Orbiant will be out on Friday as well unless NOE are breaking the Art Style pattern for some reason so Niki won't be the only thing. Still I hope for a World of Goo release (yeah I already have it but you lot can get it now...)

Its released on Thursday not Friday. 11pm in England Thursday nights. And remember that we get three or four WiiWare games on our weeks. If this and Art Style have been confirmed, its still possible to get World of Goo. If its ready.

That's because the UK is one hour behind mainland Europe

This gameplay looks surprisingly simple and fun (although I can see how switching between the two ball types could get difficult at times). I'm actually looking forward to this one!

Looking forward to this one actually, looks pretty fun.

Hopefully it won't turn out to be another Plattchen scenario...

Ummmm..... Enjoy, guys.

I'm looking forward to it - the website description is much less complicated to understand than PLATTCHEN's, though I can see myself opting for the retro controls.
Maybe this will help make up for the lack of World of Goo.
You just crossed the line, my friend.

Wait... I was taken aback there for a second. I think, though, after much scrutiny that... WiiWare is getting a puzzle game! Who would have thought? Well, I can't tell what's going on, so I'll check the website. Anyway, I'm kind of tired of people blabbering about having another puzzler. World of Goo was a puzzle game, but it was brilliance. It's not the quantity of puzzlers that hurts WiiWare, it's the quality. Don't misinterpret me, I'd love to see some platformers, but genre shouldn't matter, quality should. If I can find out what this game is about, I just might enjoy it.

"Maybe this will help make up for the lack of World of Goo."

It doesn't have to, you can buy this and World of Goo together (or Plattchen in Europe ) with only one 2000 points card!
