Mecho Wars Confirmed For WiiWare and DSiWare Release

I hope it does well.

i do not understand why porting i phone games to the wii ware, i hope its good

Nice. Looks just as fun as Advance Wars except with a much more interesting atmosphere and style. And fortunately a turn-based game should not be plagued by the same control issues Eternity's Child supposedly had (not that I've played it).

Looks neat,I must buy this.

Luc Bernard's presentations reminded me of the junkie towards the end of Withnail and I. Anyway, hard to improve on GBA Advance Wars, which is perfection.

This game looks great. But what happened to Eternity's Child?

Simply great... Thanks Damo to give us some impressions of the iPhone version... Now, waiting for news about Rose Princess...

this looks bad imo i dont like this footage in comparison to advance wars AT ALL. Are all the attacks just spheres firing at ur opponents?

agree w/ DaDun...just looks unpolished. It seems very apparent that I'm not looking at a GBA or in-house game. Something about the fonts used and general presentation...plus this gameplay style has never appealed much to me.

Again, not my kind of thing, but could be a potential great of the ware service. The hits just keep on coming w.r.t. announcements of potentially good wiiware games

Ohhh snap I definitely want on the DSi. There are so few games to look forward to on DSiWare right now...

"He'd also rather drunk in the video,"

Shouldn't it be He's, not He'd?

Hope for the best. Be nice if we'd see ANY of his games on WiiWare at this rate.

@Objection_Blaster: too true.

Turn-based strategy game on the Wii? Count me in!

I would have liked to play eternitys child on wiiware

Do we even know if Alten8 is still working on the title or if they've canned it? It's been so long for an 'optimized port' I'm beginning to wonder if they just scrapped the project.

This does look fun. Might get the DSiWare version.

I haven't been able to watch the video yet, but I'd like to see how drunk this guy is.

I've contacted Alten8 about this game and still no response. If I get one I'll post it in the news.

@corbie
So, do you know a bunch of these developer people?

@ SonicMaster
They're not hard to contact. Just find the email on their site and ask them something. Don't expect a proper reply, though, unless you write "BTW I help run the most reputable source for WiiWare news in the world." Just for clarification: I'm not saying Corbie doesn't know developers, I'm saying he doesn't have to to get news.

~Esposch

Wow this is a direct copy of Advance Wars... would rather have that instead.

@ Damo
Would Luke want you to show us this?

@espach
Thanks for answering that question directed at corbie. Would it be acceptable to ask someone a question and lie about running the site?

sorry for messing up your name, Esposch

Aargh! I hate it when you click the button more than once and your comment is posted multiple times. Something else completely random, the longest word in the dictionary is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. I'm in elementary school and I memorized that

I do find it hilarious that more and more WiiWare games are just Iphone ports... As if the Iphone is becoming the the leader in downloadable games.. LOL oh wait, people say it's not a gaming machine.. LOL

@ Hardy83
Until they release an iPod Touch/iPhone with a D-pad, Joystick, some face buttons and L and R triggers, (and maybe a better pricing system to encourage more "real" games rather than encourage excessive amounts of quick ) it will never be a gaming machine. Looks at his DS games and remembers that the iPhone will never get a game of TWEWY's standard

@ Sonic Master
I personally wouldn't because:
a) That's a bit dog.
b) They'll probably be able to tell that you're lying.
You'd be better off asking one of the Nlife staff to ask the devs (if they're a huge corporation like Sqaure nix or Nintendo), or just ask yourself and don't lie if they're a small dev like Two Tribes or something. From my experience, small devs can be really nice and helpful, whereas big devs with customer support departments never actually support their customers.

@esposch
1. I was being sarcastic, but then again, it's hard to show sarcasm on the web.
2. I'm only 10, so I'm not really gonna do this a lot. Although, I may ask WayForward a question about the flip champs release date.

Would wayforward be considered a "small dev?"

@ Sonic Master
1) That's not sarcasm...
2) To my knowledge WayForward is both a small and nice dev. They will probably give you a straight answer

If i may ask though, why didn't you just go to WayForward.com and click contact in the first place?
Although I must ask, why didn't you just go to wayforward.com and click contact in the first place?

@esposch
Maybe it would help clarify that I was joking if i put lol.

DSi ware does apear to be getting a lot better. Nintendo better watch out and start creating more first party games!

just give me Advance Wars

k thx

Luc is quite the professional!
