@JacketsNest101 Yeah, 5 and 6 are both excellent. I prefer the story for 3 over those two, but the mechanics for 6 are my favorite in the whole series, and I loved the strategy scenarios in 5.
@outburst don't expect anything from battle chip challenge. It is a vastly simplified game that is more of a card game than anything else.
@sinalefa this should be a good place to start. BN3 is considered the best of between myself and most people I know, but this one does introduce you to all the characters where as later games will assume you already know the early plot points.
I was at a GameStop yesterday just browsing and didn't even see a WiiU section. There weren't even WiiU games mixed with Wii games. So either they completely sold out of all of them, or they're all in the back where no one can see any WiiU related products at my local GameStop.
@kyuubikid213 - ... more like Fire Emblem you say? Did you watch the video? Fire Emblem is a grid-based strategy rpg, hmmm, so is this game.
I also don't see why people don't think it will leave Japan, it's a pokemon game. Very rarely do pokemon games not leave Japan (and in those cases it's stuff like Pikachu Teaches Typing). This wouldn't be as niche as people think.
Valve doesn't allow you to reveal sales numbers from Steam either, yet an awful lot of developers seem to like Steam for some reason. Nintendo's downloadable shops have way more problems than something like that.
If an updated Mario Paint were to come out and it was able to export .bmp/.jpg and possibly .wav for sounds (onto SD card) ... it would be the most awesome thing ever.
If it turns out good that Strategy game will be first on my list of must-haves I love Advance Wars and Fire Emblem! And Rose Princess looks good too, can't wait!
Now that the last episode of Strong Bad has been released ... I seriously need to do some catch up (episodes 3-5) ... damn you life not allowing for the time to play all the good games that are out!
Pretty good list. Only a few titles I have actually played, once I get more points and try to catch up on the recent WiiWare/VC games I'll check some of these out.
Damn it, that just adds one more game to my list of games to buy on WiiWare when I get points ... and space. I kind of wish they sold 2200 Point Cards so I would have enough Wii Points ... and definitely wish there was more storage space (even doubling it would be pretty damn good).
@Marvel_Maniac How does it require switching machines or any of the like? MMAC is just putting a disc into the Wii. I like Twilight Crow just have my Memory Card and Wavebird plugged in to the Wii at all times and it requires no extra effort to just use the collection. Plus you get 3 more games in the collection that will NEVER come to the VC.
Noooo (well not really). I only have 400 points But now I need to get Strong Bad, Megaman 9, and Bomberman Blast (assuming it comes to NA this month as well). Wiiware is a lot better than I had originally assumed it would be.
@vherub - Dr. Mario has been updated (as well as a variety of VC games being updated to fix minor bugs), but I don't know of any others. It is possible though which is good.
Telltale has made sure to not say any kind of specific release date for this game so far. And since it was slated for July I can believe this ... happily.
... but sadly I probably still won't be playing it for a while since my next two weeks are busy as hell
I will still wait to see some reviews, but as long as it scores a 6 and has the standard tetris mode intact (which I have no doubt it would) ... well I am a sucker for puzzle games
This is interesting, but couldn't it have been a new Photo Channel update instead? It would have been a major overhaul, but adding these features in there would have made perfect sense to me.
I am really anticipating this game when it eventually comes out. Thank you for putting so much effort into this Luc (just wondering if you are still around ... how do you pronounce your name? Whenever I read it my brain thinks Luke like Skywalker Luke, lol)
damn, I was hoping it would be exclusive. But the Wii is still the best choice for the NES-style controls ... crosses fingers make it cost more for the XBOX and PS3, lol.
meh, I bought the collection for $13 and suggest every other US gamer to just do the same. It's far cheaper and once you get used to using B as jump and A as shoot, it is like second nature anyway.

Re: Wii Party Could be One of Nintendo's Top Earners
Well ... I do only have 3 controllers ... this just went from a "no" to a "most likely." Now where's the games bundled with a nun-chuk?
Re: These Super Scribblenauts DSi Consoles Defy Adjectives
@fishman100 They did for PAX East hmmm, me and some friends might have to try and win some of these at PAX Prime ....

Re: Brutal Legend Wii Cancelled
Wait ... there WAS a Wii version? Huh ... I guess I'll just stick to my plan of getting it for PS3 ...
Re: Takt of Magic on track for a May release
This looks awesome. I loved LostMagic on the DS, assuming this is the same series, I can't wait!
Re: Explodemon Coming to WiiWare
Might have to watch this game ... probably would get it for PSN though above WiiWare

If it turns out good that Strategy game will be first on my list of must-haves I love Advance Wars and Fire Emblem! And Rose Princess looks good too, can't wait!
Re: Club Nintendo Comes To North America
Damn I hope they fix this issue. I can't log in because of some stupid error even though it should all be working fine.

Re: Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3 Coming To US WiiWare On Monday
Noooo! I still need to get #3
Re: Corbie's Top 20 Virtual Console Releases - Part 2
Pretty good list. Only a few titles I have actually played, once I get more points and try to catch up on the recent WiiWare/VC games I'll check some of these out.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Strong Bad Episode 3 and Art Style: Rotohex
Damn it, that just adds one more game to my list of games to buy on WiiWare when I get points ... and space. I kind of wish they sold 2200 Point Cards so I would have enough Wii Points ... and definitely wish there was more storage space (even doubling it would be pretty damn good).
Re: Fake Man Content Pack Coming To WiiWare Next Week?
This looks awesome. Can't wait to download the new boss.
Re: Introducing High Voltage Hot Rod Show for WiiWare
I really wish they would finish Animales de la Muerte before they start announcing more games
Re: OFLC Update: Mega Man 3
Good news for you guys. I thoroughly enjoyed Mega Man 3 the most on the Anniversary Collection out of all the other games.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bomberman Blast And Art Style: ORBIENT
DAMMMIT!!!! I just spent 2000 points on Mega Man and Strong Bad! Now I need another points card cries

Holy ****! That is some really hard crap to do ... damn it where are my Wii points for this game

Re: EU WiiWare Update: Plättchen, Bomberman Blast, and Midnight Pool!
NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!1111111one
I want my Bombermanszzzzzzz! at least it won't be much longer for Megaman 9 and we'll probably be seeing Bomberman soon as well.
Re: Bomberman Blasting Onto The Wii
Hopefully it comes out before my birthday that way we can play Bomberman again this year ... only now online.
Re: Strong Bad's Freezing Issue for Attractive People!
@vherub - Dr. Mario has been updated (as well as a variety of VC games being updated to fix minor bugs), but I don't know of any others. It is possible though which is good.
Re: Space Invaders Get Even - Stage Pack Details
I was seriously considering this, but at $5 for a single level ... doubtful. $20 for all seven levels doesn't make it sound any better either.
Re: Luc Bernard Quits Videogame Development
I saw this in the morning but couldn't comment because I was supposed to be doing something else >.>
Sad to see you go Luc, hopefully this isn't the end we see of you.
Re: Gameshastra To Bring Tumblebugs To WiiWare
Uggg, why not just buy Magnetica now? Ya it doesn't control perfectly, but it looks like the exact same game imo.
Re: Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Gets Release Date!
Telltale has made sure to not say any kind of specific release date for this game so far. And since it was slated for July I can believe this ... happily.
... but sadly I probably still won't be playing it for a while since my next two weeks are busy as hell
Re: Ys Book I & II
Hmm, I don't really know what to expect from it. I have never seen anything like it before, I might get it considering all the praise it has gotten.
Re: Ys Book I & II Released in US Next Week
I have only heard good things about this game and have 2000 points unused ... I'll probably pick it up since I am thirsting for a good RPG.
Re: Tetris Party To Support The Balance Board
I will still wait to see some reviews, but as long as it scores a 6 and has the standard tetris mode intact (which I have no doubt it would) ... well I am a sucker for puzzle games
Re: Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures - WiiWare Bound?
Interesting, but I would rather buy a compilation disc like for Sam and Max. Still looking forward to Strong Bad though, damn I want it
Re: Where In The World Is Strong Bad?
damn still nothing to spend my 2000 points on
Re: Retro Styled Castlevania Coming To WiiWare?
I've never played a Castlevania so I would be unaffected either way. I don't really have an urge to play it either, this would be good for fans though
Re: New Wii Channel for Japan - Print Your Photos!
This is interesting, but couldn't it have been a new Photo Channel update instead? It would have been a major overhaul, but adding these features in there would have made perfect sense to me.
Re: Mega Man 9 T-shirts To Go On Sale Soon!
I always thought the arm cannon was on his right arm? Lol, I might just have to get one of these
Re: Animales de la Muerte - More Information
This looks like great fun I can't wait
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Pirates - The Key of Dreams
Well ... at least Strong Bad is a sure fired bet for next week since it is supposed to have a July release
Re: WiiWare Preview - Eternity's Child
I am really anticipating this game when it eventually comes out. Thank you for putting so much effort into this Luc (just wondering if you are still around ... how do you pronounce your name? Whenever I read it my brain thinks Luke like Skywalker Luke, lol)
Re: Bomberman Looks Like A Blast
I still want to know more about the retail version until then I am still unsure which version I will get.
Re: Mega Man 9 - New Video, Online Leaderboards, NOT Exclusive!
damn, I was hoping it would be exclusive. But the Wii is still the best choice for the NES-style controls ... crosses fingers make it cost more for the XBOX and PS3, lol.
It is looking really good, can't wait for it.
Re: Mega Man 9 Will Cost 1000 Wii Points
$10 seems fair to me, but then if I have to pay more for DLC ... doesn't mean I won't, but it will be painful to push the button
Re: See Mega Man 9 In Action
Nooo cries only 28 seconds, I can't wait for this game!
Re: Mega Man 1 & 2 Coming To North America Soon?
meh, I bought the collection for $13 and suggest every other US gamer to just do the same. It's far cheaper and once you get used to using B as jump and A as shoot, it is like second nature anyway.
Re: Mega Man 9 Hitting Japan In September
^ Animales de la Muerte
I can't wait for Megaman 9, it shouldn't take too long to come over from Japan since there is so little text for Capcom to translate
