What's with all the people being pissed off about this update? It seems like a good update if you ask me: 3 VC games, 1 9/10 WW game AND a new Virtual Console. Stop complaining.
Won't be buying any of these. Saving my money for MadWorld. Also just bought Super Mario Galaxy, so, yeah.
Also, weren't they going for a february release for Bit.Trip.Beat? If so, their a little late.
I have a feeling the "Big 3" is gonna be changed next week. WoG is slipping off the charts (after a long reign of greatness) and I wouldn't be surprised if next week WoG was replaced by, say, LIT.
@Bahamut ZERO: Yeah, I'v been noticing those poppong up lately too ...
Ah well, I had a feeling the controls would break the game. These games are hard enough on the computer and that's as precise as you can get. Too bad, it looked nice. Another reason not to pick up a points card tomorrow. I'll just look for some GCN games.
Yeah, like tkubas1 said, everyone (except me, because I don't want it) has WoG now so it can't really go any higher, infact, it can only drop slowly off the charts.
@8. Corbie: Yeah, I'm obsessed with bubble bobble. Bought it on VC the first day I got my wii. Can't wait for this.
Watched the WiiFolder vid: It seems you run slightly faster then you did in the original. I also don't have a problem with the graphics, their fine to me. This looks like good old bubble bobble with some extra features. Plus I'll actually have something to spend the extra points I always have left over.
I think the reason the shoe doesn't make you jump faster is because in the original it made it a pain in the ass to jump on bubbles.
This game sounds pretty damn good. And quite spooky actually. The bugs crawling away from the light when you use the flashlight sounds pretty cool. Once I get my next points card (sometime after I beat MadWorld) I might just have to pick this up.
I checked the site out, pretty bitchen. I also read that Sonic and the Dark Knight will be out the same day as MadWorld. Sucks because I want them both so bad. I'll be picking up MadWorld no doubt, but I don't want to wait too long to buy SatBK.
Though it was only 2 games it wasn't a bad update. This looks good but I'll wait for the review ... actually I won't be buying this until after March 10th because MadWorld is coming out.
That sucks. If they release it on disc they better add a load of new features because I won't buy it if it's the same thing we've been looking at for 50 dollars.
Amazingly enough, this game has better graphics then most third party wii titles and it's on WiiWare. Anyways, it looks good but due to the size limit of WiiWare, having an FPS with decent graphics and online means something is going to be disposed of ...
Damn you Darren. Damn you straight to hell. You and your "Bubble bobble + is out next week ... in japan". You just love to crush my dreams, don't you? Either way, it was a nice prank XD, glad to see I wasn't the only one fooled. Let's hope it comes out soon, by the end of the month perhaps? Probably not, but we can hope.
I know I've said it before, but ... gigalopolis XD
@corbie: It's probably just nostalgia. I used to think Yoshi's Island was the greatest SNES game ever. Then I finally got to play it again ... got bored halfway through.
@Supermarioman: They aren't making fun of it, where did you get that idea? And even if they are their obviously doing it because they like the games. You wouldn't create a game based on another series if you hated that series. If you really think this game looks bad because of the reasons you described then you must be pretty damn ignorant.
Sounds sweet. That FPS sounds like those games such as Boxhead, only in 3d. I hope it has a co-op mode ... Wonder when it's gonna be released here? Won't matter for me. If MadWorld gets a good review I'm buying that.
5. Ian Daemon: Uh ... YES! It's not the same game, it has 100 different levels and you can download more, and it has 4 player mode. To a bubble bobble fan, thats epic.
The models do look strange, but lets hope that's the compression of the images. And besides, would strange sprites really prevent us from playing this? I think not.
"The Atari 2600 is one of my favorite consoles ..." Isn't that the system with the god-awful ET game? WHAT THE FU**! Anyways, looks amazing still, let's hope it doesn't do what most wiiware games do: Disappoint.
Before march, eh? I hope it's 700 points or less because I have to buy River City Ransom and Link to the Past, so if it's 800 I'll be quite upset.
They should put a survival mode in there, where you pick a map you have already beaten and just stay on that one map with non-stop waves of enemies flying at you.

Re: USA VC Update: Commodore 64 Launches With Three Games
A new Virtual Console AND 3 games for it? That's a pretty cool update.
Re: First Screens of Adventure Island: The Beginning Revealed
This is some pretty good news. I liked the original Adventure Island but despised of Super Adventure Island ... I'll wait for a review first.

Re: Smash Bros Creator Working On New Game
Well, that new TMNT games is being made by these guys, or that's what I heard. I don't think that's the game their talking about though.

Re: Mr Driller Tunnelling His Way To WiiWare and DSiWare
Another puzzle game by the looks of it ...
Re: Nintendo DSi North American Launch: April 5th
I have a Zelda DS and I don't even use it much (only have pokemon though) so this is a no-go for me. Need to save up for a 360 anyways.
Re: Diatomic: Microscopic Arcade Action Madness
Looking pretty cool. The graphics do remind me of Geometry Wars quite a bit actually.
Can't wait for a trailer.
Re: Hudson Not Abandoning Virtual Console After All?
Cool. Mario Party 1/2/3 are musts. Wonder if we'll ever actually see them on VC though ...
Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
Sweet. Definate buy once it's released. Hopefully monday?
Is there local multiplayer or not? I don't really care but it'd be sweet.
Re: Review: Pop-Up Pirate! (WiiWare)
Heh, me and my friends had a little russian roulette with my cap gun.
Anyways, good review. Didn't really excpect much from this. Let's hope Onslaugt doesn't follow the same route.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Onslaught and Pop-Up Pirate!
@27. Shortay: Lol, not really, I was referring to both. I should have made that a little more clear, heh.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Onslaught and Pop-Up Pirate!
Lol, Pop-up mii.
Will we be seeing a review soon?
Re: Evasive Space - Best Evasive Skills Competition
@Mr. Saturn: Wow, I wouldn't just need a new pair of pants, I'd need a new heart O.O That guy is lucky.
Only america? Damn. Ah well.
Re: Hands On: The Conduit
Let's hope High Voltage doesn't let us down.

How much did this cost?
Re: Review: LIT (WiiWare)
Welcome and great review!
This game sounds pretty damn good. And quite spooky actually. The bugs crawling away from the light when you use the flashlight sounds pretty cool. Once I get my next points card (sometime after I beat MadWorld) I might just have to pick this up.
Re: Tetris Party Tournament No. 3 Details
Hmmm. I would buy this game just to get free points but unfortunatley I'm terrible at tetris
Re: Animales de la Muerte Officially NOT Coming To WiiWare
@45. beastman93: Much like every Xbox 360 game ever created.

Re: New Cave Story Graveyard Screenshot
Looks good. Second best looking game yet. Next to bubble bobble. That's only because I'm obsessed with the first
Re: USA WiiWare Update: LIT
Though it was only 2 games it wasn't a bad update. This looks good but I'll wait for the review ... actually I won't be buying this until after March 10th because MadWorld is coming out.
Re: USA VC Update: Wolf of the Battlefield: MERCS
Not my type. Somehow I don't think a new level is going to make up for the missing co-op.
Re: Animales de la Muerte Officially NOT Coming To WiiWare
That sucks. If they release it on disc they better add a load of new features because I won't buy it if it's the same thing we've been looking at for 50 dollars.
Re: First Impressions: Overturn
Looks neat. Hope it comes to NA and EU soon, if ever.
Re: Even More Onslaught Screens Break Cover
Amazingly enough, this game has better graphics then most third party wii titles and it's on WiiWare. Anyways, it looks good but due to the size limit of WiiWare, having an FPS with decent graphics and online means something is going to be disposed of ...
Re: Bubble Bobble Plus Out On WiiWare Next Week
Damn you Darren. Damn you straight to hell. You and your "Bubble bobble + is out next week ... in japan". You just love to crush my dreams, don't you? Either way, it was a nice prank XD, glad to see I wasn't the only one fooled. Let's hope it comes out soon, by the end of the month perhaps? Probably not, but we can hope.
Re: EU VC Update: ClayFighter and Sonic Chaos
I know I've said it before, but ... gigalopolis XD
@corbie: It's probably just nostalgia. I used to think Yoshi's Island was the greatest SNES game ever. Then I finally got to play it again ... got bored halfway through.
Re: Hudson Releases Onslaught Screenshots
Looking good! This is a must buy ... if the review is good

Re: Eduardo the Samurai Toaster - First Look Video
It actually looks ... great. I think I saw a sword too (probably the cord)!
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (4th Feb)
HOLY SHAT! WoG was dethroned! By tetris no less! Ah well, like Starwolf_UK said, I doubt this will last.
Re: Hudson's Upcoming WiiWare Games Revealed
Sounds sweet. That FPS sounds like those games such as Boxhead, only in 3d. I hope it has a co-op mode ... Wonder when it's gonna be released here? Won't matter for me. If MadWorld gets a good review I'm buying that.

Re: Gaijin Games Interview - Bit.Trip Beat
Man, I don't know of many sites where the devs actually go to the site and talk like normal guys. WWW is the KING of vidjeo game sites!
Re: Gaijin Games Interview - Bit.Trip Beat
@Chicken Brutus: Wow, calm down there. I wasn't dissing it, I was kidding, I've played many games on that system that I wish I could still play.
Re: Gaijin Games Interview - Bit.Trip Beat

Re: USA WiiWare Update: Snowboard Riot & Lonpos
28. Wiiloveit: Oh yeah. No to that too.
Re: USA VC Update: Sonic Chaos
I'll just find a copy of Sonic Adventure DX for this.
Also: Gigalopolis
Re: Gamelion Studios Announces Furry Legends for WiiWare
Sounds good. Hope it stays that way.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Snowboard Riot & Lonpos
No to both. SR just isn't for me and Sonic Chaos can be played on Sonic Adventure DX.
Re: LIT Coming To US WiiWare on February 9th
Sweet! The moment I read the review here I'll buy this! if the review is good that is.
Re: Team Meat Interview - Super Meat Boy
Looking nice so far. Co-op sounds like it could be awesome. End of the year though? That's too long
Re: Review: Pop Them, Drop Them SameGame (WiiWare)
Sounds good. Not gonna be buying it though. Hudson's been doing good on wiiware.
Re: More Info and Screenshots for Bubble Bobble Wii
I really want to see a new Ice Climbers. With 4 player support and an endless mode with online leaderboards.
Re: More Info and Screenshots for Bubble Bobble Wii
They should put a survival mode in there, where you pick a map you have already beaten and just stay on that one map with non-stop waves of enemies flying at you.
AAnyways, REALLY looking forward to this!
Re: Artex Studios Developing for WiiWare
The top down racer looks like it could be excellent ... or horrid. It all comes down to the controls.
It actually reminds me ff GTA 2 a little.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2009
Not very interesting for me.
