Personally I think it looks pretty sweet for a WiiWare title. I like how he flaps his arms and legs to glide. And it would've been nice to see some of the skateboarding footage.
@Objection_Blaster: Hell yeah, I like that song! It's hilarious. There's another SNL music vid that came out recently- just go to youtube and look up "I'm On A Boat (ft. T-Pain)". Have you seen that one? It's ridiculous.
@thewiirocks: The focus is definitely on downloadable games- I'm just broken hearted that it's still on the original DS platform. Sure, it has more memory (it'd have to for downloads) and the processing speed is a nice touch. I just wish they'd release something like the DS2- with the downloads included. But I do realize they have to start out in baby steps with such a concept, and play the field to see how successful the idea would be. I think downloadable games is the future, for sure. I know personally I've been downloading tons of WiiWare games, and haven't stepped into an electronics store in ages.
How about instead of sucking the DS udder til it's all wrinkly, Nintendo try to implement these new features into a next-gen handheld? I think it's a bit late to be introducing this kind of stuff on a platform that's already been out for ages. It really kinda makes me mad, seeing as the whole point here is to squeeze out a little bit more cash from an outdated system. Am I right or am I right?
Downloaded this one last night. I'm enjoying it, though I'm starting to regret it- Life Force is just as good, and it has the 2 player option. I think the value would've been much higher had they included co-op.
@ouenben: OMG I don't know if it's cuz I've been sitting at a desk all day or what, but that douche awards comment made me laugh out loud for real. Of course that gives away the fact that I'm not really working... :/
Watch- Europe will get Bubble Bobble Plus or something. Which would piss me off, hehe. I'll probably pass on Gradius for the moment- seeing as I just downloaded Life Force recently.
Definitely- with a game such as this (excuse the figure of speech)-there's gotta be a catch. Immediately I thought "Baseball" from WiiSports. Minus the bat feature. But we'll have to wait and see. At this point, we only have screens I guess, right?
I just downloaded this one after reading the review- it's awesome! I love it. It's really challenging the first few play throughs- you'll definitely need the 30 lives cheat!
LOL at UK charts. My Aquarium is number one! What the hell is wrong with this world? What's with the virtual fish everyone's so crazy about?? The U.S. is no better- number two?
An absolute must-have, alongside Megaman 3. Megaman 2 is a polished NES experience- not too too challenging, great music. MM3 is much harder imo, and the bosses and levels seem a bit darker. I wouldn't feel right not owning both titles- highly recommend.
What's "Everybody Wii Theater"? And it's Japan only, right? - I'm glad the Swedish like Bomberman; they like minigolf too, from the looks of it. At least "My Aquarium" isn't in the top 3.
I'm still amazed at how many people are choosing to watch virtual fish swim around- instead of buying great multiplayer games like Bomberman! C'mon peeps! I wanna see some B-man action!
I'm not sure I need a review after reading this- I haven't played Bubble Bobble since it was on the NES. I will definitely be getting this one. Thanks!
@tkubas: Agreed. Nothing new here most likely. Going out in the backyard with a real flashlight at night would get a better review than this game. Maybe I'm being too harsh on the flashlight idea and all. Let's just see the review.
@longtimegamer: The features you speak of are pretty neat- I like the cell phone/wiimote thing. I haven't seen many good uses for that speaker, nice to see someone put it in use.
Yes, I hope there's a lot of new DLC, considering it's a free game online and those who've played before will have more incentive to play the WiiWare time around. Either way, I'm downloading it, since I have yet to play the game!
@Dazza: No Bab and Bib? It was a good idea, anyhow. I guess the other two players are simply unnamed. I will continue to call them Bab and Bib when I buy the game. Bib will be appropriate for the pink one.
@LorD SyN DracuL: I agree. Looks cool, but we'll have to see. I'm not sure the WiiWare platform is the appropriate place for such a game- it may suffer. Now had it been a full-blown retail game, with online capabilities, that'd be different. Anyway, I was very surprised when I played Metroid Prime on the DS, it worked really well online imo. So we'll have to see.
@KnucklesSonic8: OMG! Great job on finding those- At least we know what we're dealing with [more-so]. It has potential- looks like you can use a laser whip!
Personally I think the lack of facial expressions is quite humorous. The toasters look like children in a candy store; only here you're turned on to killing pop tarts.
Like everyone else said: FPS?? It MIGHT be good, but I'm just going to guess it'll suck. As much as I love Wii and all, I doubt we'll see something in the FPS genre that'll rival COD on Xbox or Counterstrike on PC as far as community and competition goes. Believe me- I'd LOVE for this to be a success, especially w/ Wii-mote controls, but I don't think it's going to be what heavy FPS players are looking for.
But who knows- we'll just have to wait and see. At this point I know nothing of the game!!!
@Wiiloveit: Yes, I finally got around to registering. I've been using this site a while now for deciding what WiiWare games I should pick up. I also added myself to the facebook group. So, hello!

Re: Bit.Trip.Beat Coming To WiiWare On Monday
As soon as I saw the thumbnail with Bit.Trip.Beat for this article, I jizzed in my pants. I can't wait, OMG!
Re: Atari 2600 Version of LIT?
I agree with Sean- Imo the 2600 isn't as appealing as NES style. 16 bit is too much- 8 bit is juuuuust right. More plz.
Re: Rock N’ Roll Climber
This definitely sounds "different". Yes, we'll have to play the waiting game.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (11th Mar)
My Aquarium... God. Fall off the map already. Sheesh.

I'm with Objection Blaster.

No thanks DSi.

Re: Brand New Harvest Moon Series: Ranch Store Screenshots
I think a bigger challenge would be getting "LAST!" comment. Go ahead. Try it.
Re: Brand New Harvest Moon Series: Ranch Store Screenshots
And bahamut, I don't think you're a douche. I just thought the award was hilarious. I'm usually pretty thrilled to get first comments as well hehe.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Gradius Rebirth
Wow! That link Corbie- what is that?? Sure it just looks like an arcade.
Come to think of it- how sweet would it be to mod your Wii in such a way as to play all your vc games on a true arcade? Hm.

Re: Eximion Interview - Cube: Gardens of Zen
Wow! I just saw the review for the PC version. It looks amazing! What a great gameplay idea. I'm looking forward to this one- can't wait.

Re: Capcom: Mega Man 9 is Best Selling WiiWare Title
Megaman 10? Or maybe a new Megaman X title for WiiWare?
Re: Review: Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen (SNES)
If only I had space on my Wii...
Re: Wisconsin To Tax Digital Downloads
I'm charged tax too. Boo, Tennessee.
@vherub: Good idea.
Re: Diatomic Update
Looking good. Eyes are peeled.
Re: Wisconsin To Tax Digital Downloads
I'm with gaz- Nintendo's already taxing us for Wii points. Will this cause an additional tax??
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (25th Feb)
Sigh No surprise on the top 3. People still want the fishies.
And anyone who comes to this site on a regular basis- if you haven't gotten Bomberman, what are you waiting on? It's about to fall off the map!
Re: Sega's Let's Catch Gets OFLC Rated
Definitely- with a game such as this (excuse the figure of speech)-there's gotta be a catch. Immediately I thought "Baseball" from WiiSports. Minus the bat feature. But we'll have to wait and see. At this point, we only have screens I guess, right?
Re: Review: Life Force (NES)
I just downloaded this one after reading the review- it's awesome! I love it. It's really challenging the first few play throughs- you'll definitely need the 30 lives cheat!
I recommend this one!
Re: Sega's Let's Catch Gets OFLC Rated
It looks kinda lame though. :/ I'm often wrong though, too.
Re: USA VC Update: Commodore 64 Launches With Three Games
@MarkyVigoroth: You read my mind! MAYHEM IN MONSTERLAND! Gimme gimme gimme gimme.
Re: Nintendo DSi European Launch: April 3rd
I agree with Tony (4th comment) - recently got a lite, so I'll pass on the DSi unless it somehow becomes the next best thing since sliced bread.
Re: First Screens of Adventure Island: The Beginning Revealed
I've never played any games from this series. I hope this one's fun, it looks pretty hardcore for a WiiWare title. I love 2.5-D games.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (18th Feb)
LOL at UK charts. My Aquarium is number one! What the hell is wrong with this world? What's with the virtual fish everyone's so crazy about?? The U.S. is no better- number two?
Re: More Details About Swords & Soldiers
This one looks like one of the Worms Armageddon games- but way cooler. Been watching this one, can't wait for release.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Evasive Space
I hope this one turns out w/ an 8 or 9. I doubt it, so I won't buy unless I see that in the review.
Re: Evasive Space - Best Evasive Skills Competition
@Wiiloveit: OMG The Coke Fail video is pretty awesome. Though he fails miserably at being "evasive".
Re: Pulseman
Looks like the lovechild of Sonic and Megaman.
Re: Mega Man 2
An absolute must-have, alongside Megaman 3. Megaman 2 is a polished NES experience- not too too challenging, great music. MM3 is much harder imo, and the bosses and levels seem a bit darker. I wouldn't feel right not owning both titles- highly recommend.
Re: Tetris Party Tournament No. 3 Details
Thanks Toddr! - I registered and put you as my reference.

I'm glad the Swedish like Bomberman; they like minigolf too, from the looks of it. At least "My Aquarium" isn't in the top 3.
Re: Tetris Party Tournament No. 3 Details
I wish there were a place we could all post our Wii Friend Codes...
Anyhow, I'd love to join this tournament. I'll see what I can do.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (11th Feb)

At least there's plenty of you Tetris-ers!
Re: First Impressions: Bubble Bobble Plus!
I'm not sure I need a review after reading this- I haven't played Bubble Bobble since it was on the NES. I will definitely be getting this one. Thanks!
Re: Review: LIT (WiiWare)
Pretty much what I expected- a fun game but I doubt I'd be getting my money's worth, personally. Not my kind o' game.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: LIT

Re: Bubble Bobble Plus Out On WiiWare Next Week
@Dazza: No Bab and Bib? It was a good idea, anyhow. I guess the other two players are simply unnamed. I will continue to call them Bab and Bib when I buy the game. Bib will be appropriate for the pink one.
Re: Bubble Bobble Plus Out On WiiWare Next Week
@Golgo: Vowels for the win.
@tkubas1: Yes, LIT looks retarded. It looks like a downscaled version of Alone in the Dark, which was poopy in itself.
Re: Hudson Releases Onslaught Screenshots

Re: Team Meat Interview - Super Meat Boy
And people ask me why I prefer Wii over 360 and PS3. "Where's the beef?"
