@longtimegamer: Yes, I have played this piece of trash before. It was at my cousin's house. His friend gifted him the game (I feel so sorry for him... ), and I picked up the Wii remote and started playing the game. I stopped playing after five minutes. And OK, this game isn't bad enough to have no target audience, but it's hard for me to imagine what that target audience is.

DO WANT.

Excellent review Adam.

Reel Fishing Challenge is way up there after all this time... >.<

And Sexy Poker at #4? I'm surprised it's not #1.

Also, good for NyxQuest for working its way up there!

If Gabbo reviews it, he'll most likely hand it a 7. Remember his little philosophy about comparing games to others in the series? And Pilotwings 64 is, after all, superior to the SNES original and an all-around better game.

Great review Philip! I LOL'd at this part:

"(Press A to continue reading this review.)

(You have unplugged the console. Good night.)"

This game is absolute garbage. It doesn't even appear to have a target audience! It reeks of half-@$$ed, and is dictated by randomization. WiiWare keeps getting overrun with MOAR and MOAR shovelware all the time, far outweighing the good games. All Nintendo cares about is the fact that they have third-party support, and as long as they make a good profit off of the game, that's all that matters to them. No one should ever, EVER buy this stupid piece of garbage.

I wouldn't bet on it Cheezy. It's Gameloft. Sure they make good games, but I'll be surprised if they don't butcher this with a bunch of crap (i.e. turn it into "Sexy Earthworm Jim" or something like that... )

Well, that dashes all hopes of seeing it on VC. Considering I've never played an Earthworm Jim game, I'll get the remake if Gameloft doesn't screw it up.

EDIT: OK, didn't read the whole article, it's already on VC. * facepalm * I'm not thinking straight. But Earthworm Jim 2 isn't on VC... is it?

Scratch that comment (which has now been deleted), Corbie (#4) is right. For several years we've had things come to us first, some of it not reaching EU at all: SMRPG, StarTropics 2, etc. (of course with the advent of Hanabi, they have all that now ) and even then, we're lucky to have the games run in 60hz without those ******* black borders!

We've been luckier than EU for years, looks like it's finally catching up to us @_@ Have fun Europe!

@SanderEvers: Is that a frequent problem with the DS line of handhelds in general?

Yes, the Wii has failed on me before. In May 2008, the disc drive broke. (I think it had something to do with the Metroid Prime 3 copy that I rented from a local game renting store. I haven't rented a video game since ._.) Thankfully it was still under warranty, so I sent it to Nintendo to be fixed

No further comment is needed.

Also, I just noticed: Before any comments are added, it says, "No comments yet... why not be the first?" That practically encourages "first" posts...

^At least you have SSB64.

@Adamant: =_= No need to be rude.

PILOTWINGS!

This can't get any better for Europe. Now get it over here in the US and I will be a happy man.

^No. Serebii sucks. Bulbagarden is better and you know it.

@SuperSonic1990: They certainly have the potential, especially considering that a lot of people say that GSC was the peak of the Pokémon series. Now we can get it without those battery and save data problems, and enhanced graphics and sound to boot! They'd have to TRY to mess up HGSS if they didn't want them to be the best Pokémon games ever.

@Ricardo91: Maybe not, but they must have something against Revenge of Shinobi. Some people largely prefer the third Shinobi title.

@Adam: I don't know yet.

@Roopa132: Everyone remotely familiar with Pokémon knows that.

sigh

Nintendo, does your seal of quality even mean anything now?

Somewhere, Bahamut ZERO is loving this.

Nothing can be too awesome.

"Yay! No Star Wars release!"

Please tell me you're being sarcastic.

@Pawtrick: Today.

W00T! We got Revenge of Shinobi this week! Everything else, pass.

Would this be any good if the person playing it has no wifi, and uses a relative's wifi to download it?

While I wouldn't be quick to call it the pinnacle of GB gaming (this or Pokémon?), this is a wonderfully crafted masterpiece that deserves nothing less than a 10. Great review as always, Corbie

, just

But school starts this Wednesday for me

Never played a Phantasy Star game, but I will buy this when it hits NA.

The only other SMS game I've downloaded is Alex Kidd

Seriously. WiiWare would be called ShovelWare if it wasn't for the good games on it. NoA, this is unacceptable... FAIL, FAIL, FAIL!

^Ditto.

"And now you flippin' know."

grooooooooan

Anyway, great review Corbie!

Never heard of this but it sounds good.

@Terranigma: Yeah, I take that comment back. The PAL region VC games (save TG16) run in 50hz and have those huge black borders.

My cousin wants this game. Is it any good? (If it is, I'll buy him a copy.)

And actually, I'm kind of glad there are no more seven jokes. It was funny at first, but I got pretty sick of it afterwards.

@Bahamut ZERO: Ugh, I don't. Knock-knock jokes are terrible.

@KDR_11k: Yeah, just like NA has a lot of VC to catch up on. Shinobi, Smash Bros., and now Phantasy Star!

Skip has pulled it off again with another brilliant Art Style!

Downloaded using my neighbors' wifi!

Thanks for the link Prosody.

Anyway, Flipnote at number 2. Why am I not surprised.

Do want.

Anyway, as good update for Europeans. You guys finally got Flipnote and Phantasy Star! WiiWare looks very meh today.

@Wiiperson11: Wait, that's not allowed anymore? Dammit, I don't know how I could miss that.

@Wiiperson11: I think so.

Also, why was my post removed?

>.< Sexy Poker at #6? Come on! People are pathetic...

"And by the way, a 7 is not a bad score. It's still a recommendation but with some warnings to take into consideration before deciding if this is the right purchase for you."

Well, I know it's not a bad score. But I still say it deserves an eight.

hopes not to get banned

"like Mark Hamill it has aged terribly"

I can look your destiny of death on your face. (A cookie for anyone who gets the reference)

@SuperSonic1990: Ditto. This does make Mega Man look like a cakewalk, and yes it deserves an 8. Other than that, great review Spencer! I got a big nostalgic flood from finally playing it again after all these years... Wow. I'm only 13, but I feel old...
