@ StarDust Nope, I read the review and guess the score at the end, and if I'm way off, I can tell it's a bad review (not that I've seen this happen on this site )
Konami now has two 4/10's on this site. Turns out you don't need a big name or tons of money to make a good game

A disaster this week! To accommodate for Cue Sports', Cubello's and Strong Bad 3's appearances, Strong Bad 2, Helix and Dr. Mario fall from the list. My Aquarium and Tetris Party continue to dominate,and even titles like My Pokemon Ranch, The Incredible Maze and Midnight Bowling are showing no signs of weakness. Sadly, Mega Man 9 has plummeted from 7 to 16th place, while Space Invaders Get Even and Brain Challenge jump to the top 5: 11 to 5 and 13 to 3, respectively.
At least it's 3x better that The Incredible Maze, which is good. It looks like a capable Sudoku game, though I'd be more inclined to play the Brain Training minigame that I already own than download this.
WWW has info, and it seems that we control a pit crew, and we have to fix giant broken toilets and the like! The concept is more than a little interesting, I must admit
Great Interview What other ports / enhancements might we see... Armadillo Run, anyone? Cave Story on WiiWare is shaping up to be one heck of a game! It's on my 'must-have' at the moment
The most offensive content I've found on H*R.com is SBEmail 35. Though funny, there's a bit of a reference in there: "...and show it to my kids. The ones I SHOULD be having with Ali and Ali's sister!..." Apart from that, there's the word crap
@MarkyVigoroth: It's a spooky picture of some demonic being which spends its time in Strong Mad's closet, saying "Come on in here!!!" to anyone game enough to open the closet door
This will most probably be my favourite episode! Telltale and The Brothers Chaps will have to pull something spectacular out of their sleeves to beat this and Strong Badia The Free!
And most were expecting to be an unknown gem, like Orbient... I really like these games, enjoyed SMB: Banana Blitz, but this looks terrible! It's only a matter of time until we see a 1/10
I think that the developer has the right to release this. As long as the game does what it's supposed to and more, I'm sure it'll be popular with kids. Although not many will have access to WiiWare...

Re: Nintendo Wins Another Piracy Court Case
Saw this on the news last night. Although, I'm certain it wasn't a court case, and was an out-of-court settlement: Source
Re: Review: Happy Holidays: Halloween (WiiWare)
Five bucks that could have been spent on a good NES game.
Re: Punch-Out!! Gets Date Down Under
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Review: Cocoto Platform Jumper (WiiWare)
The layout of the levels kinda reminds me of Pandemonium... I'll keep my eye on this one. Great review!
Re: Henry Hatsworth Gives Australia a Miss
I am sad. This news makes me sad. I am sad.
I am sad. Play-Asia has Henry Hatsworth in stock. I am no longer sad.
Re: Pixel Customizes Wii Remotes
Just release Cave Story already.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Majora's Mask coming to Europe tomorrow.
Re: USA VC Update: Life Force
Excellent news, guys! Hopefully Commodore 64 titles come to Australia and New Zealand sometime soon. Another great interview question, Drake!
Re: Review: High Voltage Hot Rod Show (WiiWare)
Excellent review, Corbie! I would download this, but due to HVS's 'NA Only' philosophy, I doubt this will be released here anytime soon.
Re: Review: Planet Pachinko (WiiWare)
Ah, I was hoping for a decent platformer... It looks like WiiWare is going on a bit of a slide right now
Re: Ten Games We'd Like To See On The Virtual Console In 2009
A fairly agreeable list there! But I was kinda expecting Super Mario Kart to be on there somewhere...
Re: Nicalis Updates Cave Story Progress
Cave Story FTW!
First Post!
Can't wait for this one. Never played the original but I'm definitely downloading the WiiWare version
Re: Bplus Releases Exclusive Soundtrack
World of Goo Soundtrack!!!
Seriously, that strings piece is pure magic.

I second that!
Re: Cocoto Platform Jumper
Cocoto? No.
Platformer? Yes.
Re: Tiki Towers Lined Up For A Christmas WiiWare Launch
Ah, poor x.supermario.x... Why did you have to be so abrupt and rude, AlexSays? The poor guy has joined a circus, for Pete's sake...
On topic, this game doesn't look half-bad, but I want WoG in my virtual fridge-stocking-like-object!!!
Re: Heracles: Chariot Racing
Chariot Racing? This ought to be interesting...
First!!!
Re: Review: Hockey Allstar Shootout (WiiWare)
I saw a 1 coming our way after the many 2s, 3s and 4s already showing. It's a shame...
OUCH!!!

Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (26th Nov)
Wow. Brain Challenge is all the way up there?
EDIT
It's 'up there' for us too

Re: Review: Cue Sports: Snooker vs Billiards (WiiWare)
Excellent review! Before I read the review, I predicted an eight, but all the key flaws and strengths are outlined nicely.
Mental note: Sean = Shortay
Re: Strong Bad Episode 5 - 8-Bit is Enough
Sounds promising...
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Cubello, Cue Sports, Cooking Jam and Strong Bad 3
Hoo-way! Finally Ninty shows us some love
Re: Tiki Towers
World of Goo is coming to European WiiWare soon, so I won't be needing this, unless the review says otherwise
Re: World of Goo Coming to WiiWare in Europe!
HHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRAAAAAYYYYYYY!
cough cough
I honestly can't believe that a developer listened. They actually listened. I'm definitely purchasing this now!
Re: Strong Bad Episode 3 - Baddest of the Bands
@Wiiloveit
Yup. I'm devastated. It wasn't released this WiiWare Update, the last update, OR the one before that This is getting kinda ridiculous
Re: Family Glide Hockey
Looks... interesting Hopefully better than Family Table Tennis, though...
Re: Family Glide Hockey Coming To WiiWare
Air Hockey...
@ Most-Excellent!
Totally agree with you there. This one looks like one that would appeal to some, but not to others
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Alien Crush Returns, Brain Challenge and Space Invaders Get Even
Where the heck is Strong Bad?
Re: Nicalis Interview: Cave Story
Great Interview
What other ports / enhancements might we see... Armadillo Run, anyone?
Cave Story on WiiWare is shaping up to be one heck of a game! It's on my 'must-have' at the moment

Re: Everybody's Theater Coming To Japanese WiiWare
Japan gets this, Europe gets tgat BBC thing, AND WHAT DO WE AMERICANS GET???
You Americans get everything else
This seems pretty pointless since you can get exactly the same thing that is broadcasted from what Nintendo's little white fridge is connected to
Re: Art Style: Orbient
@Nintendork
Yes, but video games should also be released in all regions! Come on Nintendo, show Europe and Oceania you still care
Re: Strong Bad Episode 4 - Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective
This will most probably be my favourite episode! Telltale and The Brothers Chaps will have to pull something spectacular out of their sleeves to beat this and Strong Badia The Free!
Re: Sudoku Challenge!
Hopefully this isn't as terrible as their The Incredible Maze * rolls eyes*
Re: Review: The Incredible Maze (WiiWare)
And most were expecting to be an unknown gem, like Orbient... I really like these games, enjoyed SMB: Banana Blitz, but this looks terrible!
It's only a matter of time until we see a 1/10
Re: Bruiser and Scratch in the Case of the Puzzling Paw
This was announced a while ago... I'm guessing this is a point and click adventure/puzzler, but it looks overdue for more info.
Re: Brand New Sorcery Blade Game Play Video
@AlexSays
My thoughts exactly. Due to the memory constraints of the Wii this one will be hard to keep good while in the 40MB limit
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (22nd Oct)
Midnight Bowling, Pong Toss and My Pokemon Ranch really need to get off there
Re: Review: Tetris Party (WiiWare)
Great review. Not as great as some expected, though
Re: Kaasa Interview - Commodore 64 on Virtual Console
I would very much like to see these games show up in AU.
Re: Tetris Party Hits Europe Friday
Hooray!
Re: Tetris Party Tournament Announced
Neat idea! A bit like Mario Kart, I guess
Re: Strong Bad Episode 4 - Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective
@MoneybagzX
If you mean in the game, there's five. If you're referring to my last post, there's plenty in the toons section of the site
Re: Pop-up Pirate!
@MoneybagzX
There is. FFCC: My Life As a King.
I think that the developer has the right to release this. As long as the game does what it's supposed to and more, I'm sure it'll be popular with kids. Although not many will have access to WiiWare...
