Big art-style fan here, but it's very annoying you can't put your initials on the high-score list. Something that can be done with the other games.

There's a demo of this on PSN, for all you multi-platform owners... I like my puzzlers but this just didn't click for me. Too tedious to keep trying to line up the right numbers by rolling around.

Oehoe, I can finally brush up on singing my own national anthem! Hope you get scored on how pretty you sing it as well. Awesomeness.

So where's Nintendo's quality control? I just don't get how crap like this get's a Wii-ware release

I already own this on my iPod touch. I think it looks better on that in a sort of retro/Tron kind of way.

Easy to play, difficult to master kind of game.

After a year or so my Wii discdrive started making a lot of rattling noises while reading disks, really loud, like a broken coffee maker. I send it to Nintendo and I got a new one within a week!!! Top service! Only negative is that I lost all my save files, oh well.....

Yeah, why no online leaderboards? Missing them for the ArtStyle games as well. They'd really add to the replayability of games. Especially these kind of high score hunters. Are they so hard to implement because I guess they would boost sales which would be a plus for the developers.

Hello Corbie! Could you tell me how many levels there are in the game, if there are any boss battles and high score listings?
Seems to be more luck than skill involved playing this game which is the same with the real pachinko I guess...

Mmmm, let's just say that if I'd made a teaser/trailer for a game I'd be sure to make it a bit more euuhhhmmm coherent.... Seems interesting but don't know what the hell is going on.

At least you don't have to wait 2 whole weeks after they've put out another 'crab' game...

OOOWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH * runs away to buy a Wii points card *

More games like this please! Looks very promising Great to see some developers are still making an effort.

Why would they HAVE put out something every (two) weeks? I'd rather wait a bit longer for a game and get more quality. I thought WiiWare would be a platform for fresh new independant publishers on which they could develop their interesting new ideas. Well, it turned out everything but that. Lot's of cheap cash-ins and an interesting game once in a while.
I like the offering on my PSN account better, games like 'Flow' or the PixelJunk games, upcoming NobyNobyBoy or Flower. WiiWare needs more games like that!

Oh well, already played a lot of PC BKP on slow days at work . It's ok I guess, yet another tile-matching-fest grumble. Some more of the new, fun and innovative stuff please!

Wow, didn't see the 4 coming...very dissapointing, WiiWare is not going out in a big bang at the end of the year. 'Lackadaisical' is a very interesting word though !

Ow yes! Another contender for the category 'Worst WiiWare game 2008'!! This is shaping up nicely

Most reviews did state that the Wii-version of 'Sonic Unleashed' was the best version to get. One of the few times the Wii port is better than PS3 or Xbox....
Anyway, Naughty Dog did the terrific 'Drake's fortune' so hope this Bruiser thing is good.

Worst WiiWare game should also be a category! This game can be added to the list of contenders. I think we were all hoping there would not be a need for a worst game list for WiiWare but alas... Don't know why Nintendo isn't more selective in the games they allow for their service ('Money, money, money' maybe, to quote a famous ABBA song).

Meh, where's ' Groovin blocks'? Would like that over this 'Bang!' thing, which just looks like a fancy Bejeweled. Yeah I know 'be thankful for what you've got' , 'never look a horse....' euhh never mind

@Wiiloveit: Thanx, the review answered all my questions and more..
Now I'll just have to wait at the bargain bin, hope it doesn't take too long.

I saw a boxed version of 'TV show king' in a shop yesterday for three times the WiiWare price. What's that about? Same version...?

I'm one of the few people who actually liked Plättchen but this looks truly horrible. Playing this must be a whole lot of fun to make up for the headache inducing visuals...

Sounds a lot like 'Dinner Dash' with some extra cooking thrown in.

Thanks Starwolf, the Cubello video's actually made me wonder about the colours. I thought it wasn't an issue with the game because no Americans complained , unlike Rotohex, but after seeing the video's I got worried.
But yeah, maybe al the colourblind people gave up after the first stage and didn't bother with the complaining part....

YES YES YES, me wants Cubello! BUT can anybody comment on the block-colour-issue? I understand Rotohex had issues with the colours being very similar and hard to tell apart. With the state of my eyesight I won't be able to play that but how are the colours in Cubello?

I actually had only 2 blocks left after downloading Alien Crush Returns, even after I deleted Metroid and F-Zero X, so no SPGE for now. Yes I know you can delete and download again but with the bigger Wii-Ware games and N64 titles it really get's an issue. Like 'longtimegamer' I like to access my games 'on the fly' 'cause I usually use the VC/WiiWare for my more casual cravings. And erasing/re-dowloading if you want a quick fix really isn't an option!

We have 'Uitzending gemist' over here. An internet channel run by the Public Broadcast Network on which you can watch all their national programs, even from months back. Great service but too bad the Wii internet channel can't play Quicktime or Windows Media Player files. I demand an update!!

Mmm, put off by the colourblind problem . I never understand why they don't use more distinctly different colours in games like this, or have a 'colourblind-mode' like most PopCap games (where you get a little symbol on a colour as well).
In Plättchen at least a colour lights up when you select it but it's still difficult to see.

Give us the art-style games first!

I wished they released the art-style games in Europe already!! And we're still waiting for Groovin' Blocks, come on Nintendo, how long can localisation take for games with no in-game text....
@LAA: I really like to read different opinions on games but give us some feedback and tell us why we shouldn't buy these games

Spring 2009?! Gives me time to save up for the pricier retail version or just buy it on steam now.....what to do? Anybody played both versions and can comment on the different control methods?

Mmm, nice one calculon. Bplus employees probably broke into your house, smashed up your Wii-motes and pissed on your console for you to hate them so much. Whatever happened to letting people learn from their mistakes and positive feed-back etc..?
A lot of bad things have come out of Austria as well and we came to love them again too!

@Mario64DStyle: there actually is a skill to scoring because you have to finish a level by turning as little tiles as possible and scoring points mainly with the chains that form with tiles that fall from either side of the screen.
I'm actually getting a bit tired of the bashing of this game. I really like it, and yes, I think I paid too much for it, and yes, the instructions are way too vague and there could be improvements in the gaming mechanics. You have to invest at least an hour or so to get a feel for the game and some people will still hate it after that but I can't put it down once I start playing (the 'one more go' syndrome).
Do you really have to stress the fact that you hate the game and you hate Bplus and hate everything surrounding them after every newsfact that comes out of their company? (despite the fact that I too find it questionable to have emloyees posting stuff without making themselves known).
