Nintendo of Europe Announce WiiWare and DSiWare Plans for 2009

What? No LIT?

Nor Mighty Flip Champs, it seems. WayForward has still never released a game in Europe

Castlevania for Q1 2010? Ouch! And no Electroplanktons either. I also expected to see Dragon Quest Wars on this list, since it was recently rated by OFLC, but alas, it isn't there. Maybe it'll be an unannounced surprise for all regions..

At least you have Cave Story "confirmed" for October!

What the... where is LiT?

Well no point whining about MFC then. At least there's still some good stuff coming out.

Wait a minute. Just a while ago you guys said Castlevania rebirth was coming in Q3 of 2009. This list says Jan of 2010. Which is it?

You guys are lucky, NOA are always so secretive.

@SSBF1999 - what? NOA just did the same announcement yesterday?

My 3 favorites on that list are:

• Max and the Magic Marker
• And Yet It Moves
• Super Meat Boy

"Nor Mighty Flip Champs, it seems. WayForward has still never released a game in Europe "

Bogus.
They've released a lot of games here, but most of them aren't noteworthy, like some Spongebob games, Wrestling, Barbie and other licenses. The only truly good game they've brought over the pond so far is Duck Amuck.

They didn't publish any of those games though.

Strange that myNotebook wasn't announced by Nintendo of America yet, but it has for Europe.

I don't know why LIT is not there lol ^^

There seems to be some quality/potentially quality titles in those lists. It's going to be hard to save for all these games coming out!
Also, is that list in random order, or in the order they are coming out?

I must second the query as to the location of LiT; ditto Mecho Wars and Squibs Arcade (which seems to have also disappeared from the NoE WiiWare page completely).

Blockout sounds interesting -- could it be the 3D tetris-like game from Technos? There's quite a lot of titles of interest there. Should be a lot of points spent by me through the end of the year!

Now will they do the same for the Virtual Console?

Where's Thorium Wars, DSi Metronome, MFC? This was the only DSiWare I was looking forward to.
The Dracula game looked interesting, but nothing more. I would like to see more apps for DSi.

Someone call Corbie! Castle of Magic is coming, Castle of Magic is coming!!!

looks at list again

I'm going to be broke by Christmas.

I'm pretty sure that's not a complete list. For example, Monkey Island 4 and 5 is nowhere to be seen and we all know those games are coming out in November and December respectively... And we all know how well NoE's list for Q2 turned out... However, I do agree that LiT nonappearance is kinda disconcerting, someone should pester NoE about that... And also the name change of Night Game makes me cranky, I really liked the novelty of having a name like that.

Maybe LIT's not listed because it's out on Friday, and it would have made little sense to bother. Right? Maybe? Guys?

...

Damn, just checked out Castle of Magic and god dammit, it looks awesome... So why the hell can't Gameloft release games like THAT on WiiWare. Why do we have to make do with only shovelcrap from them... Seriously, I demand that they port that over to the WiiWare before too long, you hear me Gameloft?

Where's that Sparkle thingy purikura app for DSi?

It's true that NoA also announced a few DSiWare/WiiWare games, but they only announced a few and basically just lumped them together in the same list as upcoming Wii/DS games.

price is right on the dsi? count me in!

Lostwinds 2, la mulana and cave story. Awesomesauce, i still have to get LostWinds 1 though. And a bunch of other retail games are coming out the same months, Sigh

@Rum Rapture, that would be fantastic. We can only hope.

LostWinds 2 and Cave Story in October? It's gonna be a good month. ^.

Wait.... Where's Pokémon Scrambble?? It can't be possible TT. I don't want to wait moreeeeee xD.

Even DSIware is getting a bit of variety, wont be rushing out to buy one anytime soon though, thankfully wiiware has a strong line up of games.

Sudoku 50! For Beginners - Hudson Soft
Sudoku 150! For Challengers - Hudson Soft
A Little Bit of... Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training Sudoku - Nintendo
SUDOKU - EA
SUDOKU Sensei - Hudson Soft
Simply Sudoku - Engine Software

... will there be sequels next years? imo EA chooses the coolest name ...

at least you guys have a month date for zombie panic in wonderland
thats a nice list

oh and Night Game is called Night Sky and will be released in Dec. NICE!!!

When will they release the 5 pending games for september? 3 WiiWare games a week?

Edit: And 13 titles for october and only 5 for november and december? Hmm, is this list really reliable?

I noticed that the Domo game teased at E3 have been absent as well. I wonder when Nintendo plans on releasing them to DSi

I just counted 5 Poker and Sudoku game for Dsi Ware Please just stop we have enough

Hey what's this.... they forgot to include our title Rush!

@Djungelurban - If you think THAT is awesome, go check out Blades of Fury. If Gameloft releases that on the DSi...

Caaaaaave Story. 'Bout time. Here's hoping NOA keeps pace or even releases it earlier.

The Worms title also interests me, but I haven't seen anything about it. I wonder how difficult the Ninja Rope is to use with a Wiimote...

Pah, we all know what happened the last time.

haha! finally release dates!!!

I wouldn't believe that list unreservedly. Remember what happened to Aptil-July list? Anyway, no Lit, MFC and Robocopalypse that where on the previous list!

Still, several there I'm interested in! DSiWare looks a bit uninteresting overall, but there is a lot there we don't have info on anyway.

Probably about 21 to 24 of those are on my radar or insta-download list. So I'm happy I guess!

I need more info on some of the other games I don't know anything about as well

@Omega: Q4 is October/November/December as well, the months just haven't been decided yet.

@Djungelurban
I was about to mention the Q2 list. I wonder how long people will remember and cite this provisional, media-only list for and then blame Nintendo for the fact Nicals takes a bit more than they estimate or whatever no-shows will happen.

That said, LiT has taken so long I'm nearly beyond caring. It was submitted and approved months ago.

@Drake: Thanks, I see.

According to the list they have many titles in the next time. For next Friday alone that must be two or three titles. But I guess there are still changes possible to that list. I can not believe that LiT doesn't appear before next year. And Rush? I'm sure they squeeze both in somewhere.

The list doesn't include Magnetis which the Nintendo Channel lists for Friday so it's not complete (as if we didn't already know that THE LIST IS A LIE)

Yeha, where is Magnetis? :/
By the way, Magnetis is only 500 points!

WiiWare has a few good games.
DSiWare is soo disappointing. I was hoping for some Game & Watch games in time for Christmas

No Strip Poker or Photo Clock app? XD

Just read on the ONM forums that the makers of Lit have told them that the game should be released round about end of October (31st October) in the EU.

ONM Staff:

"Just checked with Lit's producer at WayForward. He says it's all done and should be out on, or close to, Halloween weekend (Oct 31st). He's going to confirm soon.

He's going to get back to me about Mighty Flip Champs in a bit..."

I'm happy to see that Legendo is bringing Pearl Harbor to WiiWare!

Eh? No future VC list? Glad to see the WW and DsiW list all the same but a VC list would help...or are they keeping it quiet so people don't get angry?

13 WW games in October. I guess that means many people will be happy in the Autumn as well.

Dang.... I wish there was a NoA release list.... I'm really looking forward to Bomberman Blitz and Pop Island. Does anyone know when those will be released in the U.S.?

When are you guys going to do a Scribblenauts review?

Cave Story?
Frogger?
Notebook?
DRAGONS?

God damn! Why can't Nintendo of America do stuff like this instead of just standing there and saying "Well duh, we have 2 games coming out for the Wii!"

@Sean Aaron

Mecho Wars isn't planned for europe as of yet, I think Flying Tiger will put it out eventually once the american version is out.

Squibs Arcade doesn't suprise me, haven't heard from Alten8 since I moved to America, talking of which I should maybe get EC back one day

God damn! Why can't Nintendo of America do stuff like this instead of just standing there and saying "Well duh, we have 2 games coming out for the Wii!"

Eh, the last list was one big bunch of broken promises, you're just as well off not getting a list.

@Luc: Oh, for some reason I thought Mecho Wars was already on the schedule -- you're such a tease!

LIT and MFC are both still headed to Europe, rest assured. We should be able to announce LIT's release date very soon, and it won't be far off.

"GRRRAAAUUUUGGGHHH!!!!" **eats NOA for never giving us the full list of games**

Well... I'm glad that list is incomplete. I'm really looking forward to Rock'n'Roll Climber...

Cave Story in October, eh? I hope that's at least somewhat close to when it gets released in NA...

So... Uno bomberman and worms in september? I doubt it somehow! If we get an update in 2 and a half hours I'll be impressed

WiiWare and DsiWare have brought lot of new licensed games. The online capabilities of both Wii and Nintendo DSi are being pushed very much to the fore in 2010. free casino
