Though graphic advemtures are not my cup of tea, having this one on Wiiware would be nice since it's a very prized game; I hope that Nintendo will realise how many good games it's console is missing due to the storage problem.
As Wiiloveit and danik mentioned, is too expensive, but the real fact that drives me away from this game is that I usually play alone, I rarely play with 2 to 4 people, 8 almost never, and it should be boring to play this by yourself, I won't qualify it of shovelware, but definitely not for me.
Alright, I finally decided to DL this one, and I think is good, I've finished the first world and it was easy but really fun, I love the graphics and the music, the gameplay is a bit slow but is not as bad as the review makes it sound, all and all is a worthy kirby game 4/5.
I never had big expectations on VC, for me it was obvious since the beginning that only some of those great titles from the past would make it through all the licence and emulation issues, honestly the service came to be better than I expected, but then the "casual DL service" AKA Wiiware, in which Nintendo sees more profits, arrived, does that downgraded the VC?, hell yes, I knew that and now is just as I thought it would be, we get one game a week, fine, if it's a lame game, fine, I just won't buy it, if it's one of those gems from the past, great; VC can't disappoint me. Still, as I've read on many many posts many people really hoped for a definitive virtual library to come, some, I read, even sold their games, and what they got, a not very professional, slow pase service, I can't blame some of you to be angry. Now, is the XBLA or PSN better than Wiiware that I can't know, it seems more like a matter of taste. As for all those great games you all are talking about, I really hope they make it to the VC soon.
As Corbie mentioned, with all those new things Nintendo is bringing, this is gonna be a hard year for VC and VC fans. Me, I expect nothing and hope for the best.
@ Rurouni Teeter I know all kirby games are easy, I still like them, but does being easy make this one too short?
@114 Betagam7 You really missed the hole point and took my coment too seriously, I CAN'T get a 360, I've seen or played some of it's games due to friends, I know they're good games, but most of them I simply don't like, and I'm grateful, it would be unbearable if I liked every 360 major game. Now, after investigate, from those games you mentioned 1 I think I'd like, 1 barely interests me, and the others are not my cup of tea.
Nice interview, those guys at Semnat Studios seem to be putting a lot of effort on this little game, I respect that; I'm certainly getting it, it just sounds so much fun!!!
I wanted this one, but after the review I don't know, is KDL 3 really the easiest Kirby game? Maybe I should save my last points, since I wont be getting any more for awhile.
@Betagam7 Mmm from all those games I'm just barely interested in one, two I don't know about and the rest are meh for me, thanks for reminding me the only reason I want a 360 is Banjo Kazooie, since I have no money to get one, I'm feeling much bettet now (no sarcasm)
Whaaat!!! One VC game and one Wiiware game and is not Niki , at least we finally got KDL 3; this sandy thing, nah, it doesn't appeal to me at all and I'm saving my last points.
We had to wait a lot for this, but it worth it, I love this game, something simple to pick and play while waiting for Mom to call you for dinner; and the DS download feature is pure awesomeness, on the DS the game gets more addictive, a 5/5 for me.
I had a very bad experience with the 1080ยบ series, and decided to leave snowboard games forever (how dramatic ), anyway I'm sure this can't be fully enjoyed without the Balance Board.
Wow, I just got home ready to finally download MaBoShi, and discovered that I created an smiley revolution , hey how do you do the face? I couldn't get it right.
I'll get this as soon as I finish the first one... which can take some time damn the thing is hard.
On the Hudson issue, what a shame, I like Wiiware but it shouldn't be more important than VC; I mean why can't they just release fewer titles as Nintendo at least? Is silly to lose a market in favor of another one when you can keep both with just a little effort.
I wanted Niki ... ... wait you said MaBoShi, YAY that's not that bad at all, I though it will never come, still not a very special update for the holidays.
@Mr. Cheez Sorry to interfere but I really need to answer your first question, I absolutely prefer to play MK64 than MK Wii or DS. That something is new not always means you're gonna like it more than the old.
SSB is simpler than it's predecessors, I like that, some times I get tired of all those options and screens on Brawl when I only want a simple fight with a friend; each Smash Bros. game has it's own style, and the first one is great to play even now.
@Dathcha If the HD is prejudicial because of the space, most probable the videos will be in HD .
@Bulan Well that's worse, I'm not paying for a streamed video for sure, my internet connection ain't very good and I'd be paying to se a video little by little, and if their servers fail or are too crowded then I won't be able to watch the video I already paid for again, no thank you. Besides what if that means you're gonna pay to see the video only once, that sucks.
Sorry Nintendo but when it comes to videos I'm staying with my computer.
@StarDust Wow, I've discovered that I'm a die-hard mario fan! I own each of those games you mentioned, the first four on the SM All Stars the rest in their original cartridges or discs, I didn't think about me liking mario that much . I'm a collector, and I almost never get rid of my games. I like Super Paper Mario more than any other Paper Mario, didn't finished TTYD either, I just don't like their RPG style.
Not interested, I can watch anything I want on my computer, and remember the storage problem, if they upload the videos in HD, you're gonna have to clean all the fridge in order to see anything and then save it to an SD card, which will take a lot of time, and transfer your games all over again. I hope this service will make them finally fix the problem.
It's great that EU finally got SoM. Well, this Christmas I only got Sonic Unleashed and 1000 wiipoints, which I'm planning to save for next monday.crosses fingers willing to give Nintendo one last chance for a Christmas update
Brawl is good enough to be a #1, and there are no many contenders this year anyway, NMH is good but imo is not big enough and I hate MKWii for personal reasons. I consider WoG and Okami well thought artistic videogames that are actually fun so they deserve their places, still I haven't play TP and obviously MaBoShi so I can't say anything about them.
I'm a collector, I love classic games, but I never though the VC service will deliver that many games, there are still many games I'm looking for in cartridges even if they came out on VC, actually there are games I wish for but I've never expected them to come out, so any little jewel that Nintendo releases is welcomed, and if nothing interesting pops out, fine for me, I expected the service not to be that good anyway; also I'd like to have a 360 because of its games and all the nice features I've read about here not due to disappointment; still, I understand why everybody who had big expectations on the service feels angry, you've been let down and that's awful, Nintendo should listen to you, I'm really hoping for a nice VC update next week, it would be sad to see how Nintendo disappoints many of you once again.
I WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS, DON'T LOOSE YOUR FAITH JUST YET.
It looks nice, but maybe a little too frantic for me, still, if the price is right I may give it a go, after all I'm one of the few who actually enjoys TIM.
Everything seems normal in here, WoG on top, but Pong Toss should have fallen at least one spot, oh well maybe next week. Oh, and Hang on The Incredible Maze!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EU!! Soon we all will enjoy this great game, seriously 2D Boy is a very good company, create WoG and then convince NOE to forget the retail thing, pure genius.
@Clayfrd Your comment has a lot of sence, I totally agree with you, now I want a 360 , actually I've been wanting one for awhile, but I don't have the money, to be honest even if Nintendo had already started to deliver good things I wouldn't be able to purchase most of them .
I'm still hoping for something good on VC for Christmas, so that everyone in here get some joy, and nice comments about the games themselves and totally off topic chats comeback .
Chariot Racing ... meh, but a platform jumper, that I'm interested in, I'll hope for the best on that one, even if neko is a shovelware maker that doesn't mean ALL of it's games have to be complete crap,
I like Plattchen, and I believe I'm gonna like this one (the price helps), also I read it can be played with the crosspad too, if that's so Bplus got a buyer.
Me too want MaBoShi.... Me sad cause no MaBoShi...
In other matters, the week ain't that bad (for wiiware at least ), BKP seems like a nice game lets hold criticism for after the review, and for what I've read SB games are good, I don't like them because I don't like point and click games at all, but I'm not going to say the game is bad just because it's not my cup of tea; you can't call a week bad just because Nintendo couldn't pleased everybody.
Not interested, I have WoG and is a good game but not my favorite one, so I don't think I'm gonna like this one. If Nintendo doesn't put a nice game on VC this 22nd it's gonna be a really meh christmas for me .

Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (7th Jan)
