Take, for instance, Bomberman Act: Zero, when they revamped it so that the graphics were a little bit more real, a bit more Americanized, muscular, and less comical. I feel it was perceived well in the American market.
I'll be getting a DSi as soon as possible so I'll hope there will be some launch games, particularly from Gameloft. Wonder if they'll use the DSi's technology well.
@longtimegamer Well yeah, they always miss every second week. It goes VC one week then WiiWare the next. Since they only get 3 WiiWare games per second week and US gets two per week, US=8 games per month and EU=6 games per month If the pattern changes to FOUR games every second week, then Europeans won't be getting chipped off two games a month.
Well, I'm certainly happy for Europeans. I hope NOE continues this and gets 4 WiiWare games per second update. I think it's only fair. And at that rate, the catalogs might be similar, which is good.
Eh...not really interested in this. If there was one like the Datel one but it didn't mess up on certain games, I'd get that. Until then though, I'm content with my Classic Controller and Gamecube controllers.
Looks nice, but I don't really need another controller right now. I'll settle for my regular Classic Controller, but this is probably a good alternative.
Don't know if that'll happen(#6)since it's WiiWare (only title tat I can think of that lasted over a day was FCC:MLaaK) but still, I hope it does too. I'll be buying this one soon.
Well, I like the new look. Quite good I must say. I'll be getting this one as soon as it is released. Never actually played the original, but my friend loves it so I'm gonna give this one a go.
Two screenshots and I'm already excited. Not sure if it would make it to other regions, but if did I'd buy it instantly. These kinds of things interest me.
Heard about this recently. I think it's because the information is stored on separate servers or the info is just saved on the DSi/Wii itself. Won't affect me though since I'm a credit card user.
So the next two weeks for North America have puzzle games, eh? Hmm...Both look good, but I'm kinda torn. Guess this is why I read the reviews on this site.
@Drake Mario&Luigi 3 was confirmed? And a new DS Wario Ware? Picross 3D and Endless Ocean 2? Heard of the other things you've listed, but never heard these ones. o_O
Finally, we get a solution. Too bad we have to wait a couple of seasons...
I'm not about to jump onto the hype train, but the concept sounds cool. If it gets a good rating, I'll nab it. Here's hoping this won't be another SPOGS.
Maybe Eternity's Child isn't brilliant, but I'm guessing the WiiWare version will be better and for 500 points, why complain? And plus, it's a platformer, which I love. It'll be a purchase from me as soon as possible.
I'm also liking that the sequel will have 16-bit graphics. Still, like SuperMario said, I don't know about announcing the sequel before they know how the first one does...
I hope this patter of Europe getting 3 WiiWare games continues. Unless NOE is trying to catch up with the American WiiWare catalog similarly to how they gave 5 VC game weeks and then reduced them when they caught up to America.
Just judging from what I saw, I'm already very interested and if this were to randomly appear in the near future, it'd be an instant buy. WiiWare needs some more genre diversity and this is how to do it. Very excited.
This is pretty good news. I'm keeping an eye on World of Goo but I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to get it. That's what I have WiiWare World for.
yoshifu, that seemed kind of unnecessary. SuperMario might seem like he's got an attitude at times, but he's voicing his(...?) opinion. Personally I actually laugh at a bunch of the funny comments he makes. I think some of his are just intentionally funny. I don't see him insulting people, so why do you?
The interview was a nice read. I hope the game turns out well.
Kappa and his Forest Friends, eh? Call me crazy, but that really reminds me of Animal Crossing! Remember that Kappa character who paddled the boat/drove the car? And in Japan Animal Crossing is roughly translated as Animal Forest.
As for the game itself, I can't really make any assumptions, seeing as we know little about it. But 600 Points is great. 'Tis a shame that it's an educational game.
@SuperMario I'd recommend getting Ys, but the first few moments with it might not be that great. I found it boring for the first 40-60 mins or so, but then it started picking up and I began to really like it. Not sure if you'd feel the same way, just saying. Great game.

Re: Review: Cue Sports: Snooker vs Billiards (WiiWare)
Eh, if I had to choose between this and Midnight Pool, I'd probably pick Midnight Pool. I'm not really the kind of person who plays online anyway.
Re: Hudson Interview - Alien Crush Returns
I think that's one of the better interviews I've read. Here's hoping for a Bonk or Neutopia remake.
Re: Hudson Considers More Realistic Adventure Island
Take, for instance, Bomberman Act: Zero, when they revamped it so that the graphics were a little bit more real, a bit more Americanized, muscular, and less comical. I feel it was perceived well in the American market.
This has got me laughing.
Re: Gameloft Interview Reveals New WiiWare and DSiWare Details
I'll be getting a DSi as soon as possible so I'll hope there will be some launch games, particularly from Gameloft. Wonder if they'll use the DSi's technology well.

Re: More Tetris Party Tournament Details
I like the idea, but I don't have the game. XD Holding tournaments for WiiWare games seems like a good thing to me.
Re: Hands On With SnakeByte's Wireless Retro Controller
Eh...not really interested in this. If there was one like the Datel one but it didn't mess up on certain games, I'd get that. Until then though, I'm content with my Classic Controller and Gamecube controllers.
Re: Wii Firmware Update Makes Transferring to SD Faster
In that case,stuffgamer, this update is horrible. Give us a solution, Nintendo!
Re: Evasive Space Is Anything But Evasive When It Comes to Screenshots
I may be using my virtual hand to pick this title up. Looks good from the screenshots. I respect High Voltage.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (19th Nov)
Poor Alien Crush. But then, I had the same expectations as Corbie so yeah...
@Cheezy
Really? That's great! Congrats WiiWare World.
Re: Wii Firmware Update Makes Transferring to SD Faster
This update makes me happy. Not the perfect solution, but if they decide to never give us a true solution, I think we can live with this.
Re: Hori Announces New Classic Controller For Japan
Looks nice, but I don't really need another controller right now. I'll settle for my regular Classic Controller, but this is probably a good alternative.
Re: Virtual Console Reviews is Two Today!
Happy Birthday, VCR! I'd give some cake but I doubt this website would consume it.
Re: Wii Firmware Update Makes Transferring to SD Faster
...really? If that's the case, I don't need a storage solution, this works. It's not the most perfect thing, but it certainly is great.
Re: Wayforward Interview - LIT
Don't know if that'll happen(#6)since it's WiiWare (only title tat I can think of that lasted over a day was FCC:MLaaK) but still, I hope it does too. I'll be buying this one soon.
Re: Review: Target Toss Pro: Bags (WiiWare)
Yeah, I was a little surprised at the end too. I expected something a little higher. At least this exceeded my expectations.
Re: Bruiser & Scratch Coming To WiiWare In December
Pretty interesting stuff. This game seems...odd to me. But I'm willing to try it if it's good.
Re: Exclusive WiiWare Cave Story Screenshot!
@JJ
It is? So this isn't exclusive?
Re: Exclusive WiiWare Cave Story Screenshot!
Well, I like the new look. Quite good I must say. I'll be getting this one as soon as it is released. Never actually played the original, but my friend loves it so I'm gonna give this one a go.
Re: EU VC Releases: Phantasy Star IV and Mega Man 3
Great week in Europe. No complaints here. Hope we get PSIV soon.
Re: EU VC Releases - NES Halloween Trio
I'd sure pick up Devil's World if it comes to North America. Good week for Europe if you ask me.
Re: Overturn Coming To Japanese WiiWare
Two screenshots and I'm already excited. Not sure if it would make it to other regions, but if did I'd buy it instantly. These kinds of things interest me.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (8th Oct)
@SuperMario-You want your child to be one of the best selling games?
Anyway, I think wonder why Midnight Bowling didn't make it in...
Re: Official Cave Story Site Goes Live
I just might have to check the site out out. My friend always talks about how good that game is, so I'll be picking up the WiiWare version. =)
Re: Sorry Kids – You're Not Allowed To Share Your Nintendo Points
Heard about this recently. I think it's because the information is stored on separate servers or the info is just saved on the DSi/Wii itself. Won't affect me though since I'm a credit card user.
Also, will you guys report on DSware games?
Re: Wahoo Studios / NinjaBee Interview: Boingz
This game's got me interested. It kind of reminded me of a few games such as MVSDK2 and Toki Tori. Hmm...
Re: MadStone Coming To WiiWare On Monday
So the next two weeks for North America have puzzle games, eh? Hmm...Both look good, but I'm kinda torn. Guess this is why I read the reviews on this site.
Re: EU VC Releases: Earthworm Jim and Shining Force II
A four star game and a five star game. Yay! I hope US gets these soon.
Re: Virtual Console Games to be Playable Directly from SD Cards
@Drake
Mario&Luigi 3 was confirmed? And a new DS Wario Ware? Picross 3D and Endless Ocean 2? Heard of the other things you've listed, but never heard these ones. o_O
Finally, we get a solution. Too bad we have to wait a couple of seasons...
Re: BPM Racing Gets the Green Light For WiiWare
I'm not about to jump onto the hype train, but the concept sounds cool. If it gets a good rating, I'll nab it. Here's hoping this won't be another SPOGS.
Re: Eternity's Child Delayed - Sequel Announced!
Maybe Eternity's Child isn't brilliant, but I'm guessing the WiiWare version will be better and for 500 points, why complain? And plus, it's a platformer, which I love. It'll be a purchase from me as soon as possible.

Re: Mega Man 9 - Proto Man Details Revealed
Woo. I'm be postponing my purchase of Mega Man 9 until Proto Man is released.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9, Strong Bad Ep 2 and Helix
I hope this patter of Europe getting 3 WiiWare games continues. Unless NOE is trying to catch up with the American WiiWare catalog similarly to how they gave 5 VC game weeks and then reduced them when they caught up to America.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - October 2008
Kind of sad to see only 9 games released in Japan this month...But then I guess WiiWare helps make up for it a little bit, right?
Re: Helix Coming To Europe This Friday
Hope you guys will enjoy it as much as we did.
Re: World Of Goo Submitted To Nintendo For Approval
Yeah, I can see where Corbie's coming from. Especially since Europeans have to pay more for the disk title.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9 and Plättchen
I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but when's the review coming? XD I'll get the game anyway, but I just love reading these reviews.
Re: Mega Man 9 Confirmed For US Release On Monday!
This'll give the game more replay value. Replay with Proto Man for a different flavor.
Too bad the game is still only getting a seven though.
Re: EU VC Releases: Master System Sonic & Two C64 Classics
It's a good thing that Sonic is finally here, eh? I'm sure it'll make people like Bass happy.
Re: Mobile Phone RPG Coming To WiiWare
Just judging from what I saw, I'm already very interested and if this were to randomly appear in the near future, it'd be an instant buy. WiiWare needs some more genre diversity and this is how to do it. Very excited.
Re: Mega Man 9 Release Dated For Japan
@Mr.Chippy
VC and WiiWare releases between Canada and US are always identical so don't worry about it.
Re: World of Goo To Hit WiiWare In October?
No! Corbie is making me hungry for cookies!>.<
This is pretty good news. I'm keeping an eye on World of Goo but I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to get it. That's what I have WiiWare World for.

Re: RiverMan Media Interview - MadStone
Sounds pretty decent, though I'll be waiting for the review.
Re: Japan Can 'Play With Kappa' In September
Kappa and his Forest Friends, eh? Call me crazy, but that really reminds me of Animal Crossing! Remember that Kappa character who paddled the boat/drove the car? And in Japan Animal Crossing is roughly translated as Animal Forest.
As for the game itself, I can't really make any assumptions, seeing as we know little about it. But 600 Points is great. 'Tis a shame that it's an educational game.
Re: EU VC Releases: DoReMi Fantasy and Ys Book I & II
2 great games, a "meh" game, and a "blah" game(according to VC-R). I say definitely go for DoReMi and Ys 1 & 2.
A great week if you ask me.
Re: Fun! Fun! Minigolf - Screenshots And Info
I'd rather play Mario Golf(64)when it comes to the VC because it has Mario tacked onto it, but I'm willing to give this a chance as well.
Re: USA VC Releases: Super Mario RPG and Clu Clu Land
@SuperMario
I'd recommend getting Ys, but the first few moments with it might not be that great. I found it boring for the first 40-60 mins or so, but then it started picking up and I began to really like it. Not sure if you'd feel the same way, just saying. Great game.
And I wish I had Wii Points for SMRPG. ;_;
Re: USA VC Releases: Super Mario RPG and Clu Clu Land
@BlackFira
Mega Man 7 is for SNES (not NES) and Mega Man 8 is for the PS/Sega Saturn.
Dang, I wish I had points for Mario RPG. Guess I'll wait until tomorrow.
