Edit: Yes! I got my first first. Now, onto the game. I think it could turn out to be quite an excellent puzzler, with the four player split screen and interesting gameplay, but I could already see the LEVEL UP! thing getting old. Maybe buy for me, have to wait for one of the always-quality reviews that Nintendolife will provide.
I'm totally with you on the PSP thing. I have a DS and a PSP, but I use my PSP waaaaaay more. Sony's handheld outmatches the DS in almost every way, but is very underrated unfortunately. Long live the PSP!
I'd like to see this game do well, it actually looks decent. Come on, the main character is a martial arts oriented electrical appliance, how could it possibly do poorly? Four player co-op sounds sweet.
I agree with you in full...except your favorite game. My favorite is definitely the circle game, but the reason is that it's the only one I am good at.
Downloaded Maboshi, and it is quite good. I was reluctant to believe the reviews at first, as some of the people that had played it said that it wasn't worth it. Eventually I gave in and discovered a very simple, but exceedingly complex game that is just what I was looking for this holiday season. It has very addictive gameplay, and if you play it with a few buddies who don't mind its simplicity, that addictiveness is multiplied tenfold. Maboshi is a glittering diamond disguised as a stone.
Well, I'd start out by purchasing the first level of Space Invaders: Get Even to see if you like it and adding on more if you think its worth it. Art Style: ORBIENT is also quite an excellent game if you don't already have it, don't know about the other Art Styles though. Defend Your Castle is great and absolutely worth 500 points. As for VC, Paper Mario and Star Fox 64 are very nostalgic downloads. You've probably purchased Super Mario 64, but that is also excellently nostalgic if you haven't... Whew, there's my two cents.
Still unsure whether Tiki Towers will be shovelware or not, though the interview provided an image of what would appear to be a good game. Bananamanabananamanabananamanabananamanabananamana...
@longtimegamer Just downloaded SIGE, along with some level packs, and its awesome. It's got great graphics, fast-paced gameplay, and a lot of replayability if you're willing to spend the extra $ for some level packs. In this case, one level is not enough. As a bonus, the humans utter some pretty humorous lines as you blow up their buildings, abduct their cows, etc. I'll quote one of my favorites: I'll keep fighting 'til I run out of quarters. Oh, Almost forgot... its also quite a challenging game; if you don't have your wits about you during some of the boss fights (which are pretty epic), your little UFO is toast.
Hope this gave you at least a little taste of what you're getting into when you DL this game.
I just got Art Style: ORBIENT, and didn't regret it. Its unique gameplay, great music, score system and relaxing atmosphere make it absolutely worth six dollars. Besides, its just plain fun . I'd give it a 9/10, but that's just me. You'll have to look at the WWW review to get a more detailed opinion.
Once you get the hang of it, its not too hard. It took me a while, but I finally got all 27 stars in all three categories. Then I unlocked...something.
@Wiiboy Thanks for the info, sounds like an interesting puzzle title. I'll have to see the review before I purchase it, though. 1500 Wii points isn't something to be spent lightly.
I'm sad that Groovin' Blocks didn't make it. I downloaded it this morning (316 blocks, wow) and found it incredibly enjoyable. It was a bit hard to get used to, but once I got the hang of it, it turned out to be the best eight dollars I've spent. I would have gladly payed the usual ten dollars to obtain this gem of a puzzler.

It is an April Fools joke, unfortunately.
Wow, I want this game SO much now. * crosses fingers for Monday *

Re: ColorZ - New WiiWare Puzzler
This one looks like it could either be awesome or tank hard. Considering the Z at the end, though, the latter seems a little more plausible.
The Incredible MaZe: 2/10
BoingZ: 3/10

Re: Swords & Soldiers
I'm guessing that the third faction is oriental in origin (hopefully ninja related).
If you look at the Swords and Soldiers logo, you can see an arrow (Aztecs), an axe (Vikings), and a shuriken (???) protruding from the wooden shield.

Re: Behold The All New Swords & Soldiers Trailer
@longtimegamer & Objection_Blaster
Don't worry, on S&S's site it says that they are aiming for 1000 points or less.
Re: Behold The All New Swords & Soldiers Trailer
If I get some Wii points for Christmas, I'm saving them for this.
Re: Evasive Space - New Screens & Trailer
This looks like a winner for me. I just hope the controls are decent.
Re: Swords & Soldiers Officially Delayed
Bad news... not what I wanted to hear today.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Art Style: Rotohex, Bang!, Pit Crew Panic!, and Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3
Wow... four games. That NEVER happens in the US.

Re: USA WiiWare Update: Space Invaders Get Even & Pit Crew Panic!
@Stardust
I've had WoG since it came out in the US , but thanks anyways. World of Goo is an incredible game, other gamers should take your advice.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Space Invaders Get Even & Pit Crew Panic!
Space Invaders, Woot! What I want to know is if it's just the starter pack or the DLC packs as well. I have 1,500 Wii Points, so I can get 2
Re: Tiki Towers Coming to WiiWare in December
This looks like a cheap knockoff of World of Goo. . . shame on Realnetworks.
I don't think anything could surpass World of Goo except a sequel
Re: World of Goo Coming to WiiWare in Europe!
@Mr. Cheez
I agree, they should definitely give us more content . . . World of Goo ended too soon.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Brain Challenge and Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam
Dang it, Space Invaders was replaced by a cooking sim
Re: Review: Space Invaders Get Even (WiiWare)
There have been a lot of similar scores L-eight-ly, all accompanied by gr-eight reviews that really str-eight-en your view of the games...
Anyways, if Space invaders comes out in the US, it will definitely be in my collection.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Alien Crush Returns, Brain Challenge and Space Invaders Get Even
Space Invaders, please come to the US...
Re: Review: Art Style: Rotohex (WiiWare)
And the pattern continues...
Re: Review: World of Goo (WiiWare)
My prediction was correct! And I will soon be in possession of Wii Points! * does dorky victory dance *
Re: World of Goo
Could this be WWW's first ten?
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Midnight Bowling And MadStone
I'm getting MadStone if the review isn't bad.
@samus2008
Warning noted.
Re: Art Style: Orbient
All I have to say is: excellent game, absolutely worth it.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bomberman Blast And Art Style: Orbient
I just got Art Style: ORBIENT, and didn't regret it. Its unique gameplay, great music, score system and relaxing atmosphere make it absolutely worth six dollars. Besides, its just plain fun . I'd give it a 9/10, but that's just me. You'll have to look at the WWW review to get a more detailed opinion.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bomberman Blast And Art Style: ORBIENT
@Objection_Blaster - I think it takes up 128 blocks, but I'm not entirely sure...
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bomberman Blast And Art Style: ORBIENT
Art Style fell out of the sky... and it actually sounds decent. For only 600 Wii points, I may have to get it. It will depend on the review, though.
Re: First Impressions: MadStone
This looks like a 7-8 out of ten to me.
Re: Mega Man 9 Challenge List
Yay achievements, this will make me want to play the game even longer.
My favorite is: 19 Gamer's Day: Clear the game 5 times in 1 day.
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (17th Sept)
Yeah, go Groovin' Blocks .
Re: Review: Plättchen: Twist 'n' Paint (WiiWare)
Wiiboy's nightmare has become a reality. Oh well, I wasn't really looking forward to this one.

Re: EU WiiWare Update: Plättchen, Bomberman Blast, and Midnight Pool!
Where's the review!?
Re: Review: Bomberman Blast (WiiWare)
Wow 8/10, this looks like a winner.
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Plättchen, Bomberman Blast, and Midnight Pool!
Woah, didn't see that coming. Europe gets Bomberman and Plattchen, while we get stuck with another puzzler. XD

Re: First Impressions: Space Invaders Get Even
Who thought of the explosion word in the top screenshot? PKOW!
Re: Ronimo Games Interview: Swords and Soldiers
This game looks pretty sweet. We'll have to wait a while for it though...
Re: First Impressions: Space Invaders Get Even
x.SuperMario.x, I always get a kick out of watching you slam what people have said back in their faces. You take no prisoners.
Re: World of Goo To Hit WiiWare In October?
Mine too
Re: First Impressions: Space Invaders Get Even
It's good to hear from this game again, I've been looking forward to it despite its horrible price.
