@15 The same kind of applies to me. The VC is the reason I wanted a Wii in the first place. If Nintendo phased out VC, I wouldn't exactly sell my Wii instantly, but it would definitely happen eventually, especially with the lack of quality WiiWare exclusives (Every good Wiiware game except Cave Story and La Mulana seems to be going Multiplatform, like Explodemon and Super Meat Boy).
So, is MotionPlus absolutely needed for FlingSmash?
Photo Dojo seems interesting to say the least, and I'm not sure how I feel about WarioWare DIY. Lets hope there's some censorship from nintendo. Don't want any phallus games do we?
Although this is an awesome collection (Magical Drop 3 for the win!) one has to wonder why this is released on disc form rather on the virtual console.
Whats hilarious is the guys who made this NEVER rereleased it with the bugfix, and hilarity is added again when the idiots said "Hey, lets put the exact same broken version on the Virtual Console! No one will notice!"
I'm hoping, if there's no WiFi, that there's single player modes with AI controlled enemies. In my group of friends I'm in the minority that plays all the weird things, so it's a bit tough getting my friends to play these kinds of games with me.
Ah, nostalgia. Checking the Wii every monday to see the new releases...
Pfft, I don't even DO that anymore. What's the point? Nearly every week is a disappointment now.
Not in March though. March has some genuinely awesome Wiiware titles coming out soon. And I shall call them squishy and they shall be mine and they shall be my squishies.
I think Light Trax is a remake of Bit Generations: Dot Stream. At least, I hope it is. Then all 3 of my favorite Bit Generations games will have been remade. (Orbital, Digidrive, Dotstream).
There's lots of VC games that could be released, its just, nobody's doing it. Take Hudson for example. They have over 10 bomberman games they could release: The 5 Super Bomberman games, Panic Bomber W, Bomberman B-Daman for the SNES, and Bomberman 64, The Second Attack, and Bomberman Hero for the N64. And where are they at? Nowhere, because they're taking forever to release the reboots for Bonk and Military Madness (not that I'm complaining).
On top of that, most of the Wiiware games at this point are shovelware at best. I can think of a few titles I've had genuine fun with, like World of Goo, Megaman 9, but I can name many more VC games I've enjoyed more, like Sin and Punishment, Toejam and Earl, etc etc et al.
This is pretty much Nintendo not thinking things through and then bitching about it like idiots. "Derp derp we aren't selling enough VC games, herp derp, wonder why."
Finally, Sega gets smart. Nearly every Sonic Team game that doesn't involve Sonic is mediocre at best, and every Sonic Team game that DOES involve Sonic after Sonic Heroes were just terrible.
For some reason, whenever a game is multiplatform, developers just feel the need to HAVE to make the wii version worse. That's how it always is. I mean, yeah, the Wii's graphics are suck compared to the other two, but that's no goddamn excuse to remove features. No goddamn excuse.
Careful, if it functions TOO much like the iphone, we're screwed. Why?
There'll be a new one every week. Drop it and you need a new one. Get it wet and you need a new one. LOTSA SHOVELWARE LOLOL Finger grease will seep in through the screen and kill the internal machinery (Yes, that happens.)

@9 so far the only thing on DSiWare I really want is the port of the original Rayman.

Re: Review: Eat! Fat! FIGHT! (WiiWare)
I've had hours of fun with this game, and is one of my favorite titles.

Re: Gaijin Games Reveals First BIT.TRIP RUNNER Details
They're getting Amanaguchi in on this? Now all they need to do is get Kulor in on it too! (http://8bitcollective.com/members/kulor/)
Then I can have a nerdgasm.

Re: More Super Mario Galaxy 2 Footage
Anyone else notice how Mario has the same facial expression in EVERY screenshot? I really hope he's not all smiley like that in the final game.
Re: Review: Chronos Twins DX (WiiWare)
An excellent game to say the least. I was actually surprised how good it was!
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st February 2010 (North America)
Look at that terrible artwork up there, then ask why I won't touch monkey island.
Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
Definitely not a waste of money, and I HATE fps games with a passion.
Re: Metroid: Other M
Wait a minute... does Samus have a facial mole? Check the screenshot close up of her face.
Haha, awesome.
Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll (Wii)
Wish I had a balance board, but I ain't made o' money, so no monkey for me.
Re: Robox
Looks very artsy, like Muramasa.
Re: First Impressions: Fantasic Cube
You got your chocolate in my peanut butter. Hope this game makes it to us though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd & 3rd March 2010 (Japan)
A Katamari Cellphone game used the same Camera-tilt technology as Rittai Kakushikai Attakoreda, so, uh... Namco-Bandai? HINT HINT.
Re: Cave Story
Everyone who doesn't get this game has horrible taste in games.

Remember Pac-In-Time on the SNES?
This is that.

This game is mine.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1
Great, they're using the new eggman, not the old one. sigh.
Re: Last Ninja 3
Whats hilarious is the guys who made this NEVER rereleased it with the bugfix, and hilarity is added again when the idiots said "Hey, lets put the exact same broken version on the Virtual Console! No one will notice!"
Two words:
EPIC.
FAIL.

Whoa, calm down there, man.
Re: Sin & Punishment 2 Coming June 7th
Ahaha! Look at the 360 cringing in fear at the might of the Wii!
Re: Prince of Persia to Include SNES Remake of Original
Oh, no, no, that makes sense. Release it on disc rather than virtual console. Yeah, uh huh. I see.
Anyway, the SNES remake was helmed by Masaya, the crazy guys behind the Cho Aniki series.

The whole "two thumbs and ____, this guy" thing has been around before Robot Chicken.
Maybe an editor for DLC or something? Could happen.

Kaiser, we've all got our opinions. Don't be so offended that I insulted a game. Be offended if I insulted you. Which I did not.

If Sunsoft's making a comeback then I hereby demand Aero The Acrobat remakes or VC releases!
