The mind boggles as to how, after the store being up about a week, the European store is already behind. Nintendo Europe are a complete waste of time.

Great write up.

Why isn't this out in Europe?

£7 is a bargain for this. Looks so good and plays well. The phase mechanic will take some getting used to, though!

I really wish you guys would present screenshots in HTML5. I don't have Flash installed on my Mac (and iPhone and iPad).

This game crashed so much on me during my first attempt at playing, I sent it back. Poor show EA.

This game is balanced to perfection. A complete joy and work of art from start to finish, and will take you 10-15 hours to get 100% and perfect on everything. Despite there being only one island (a major hangup for a lot of reviewers) it is constantly inventive and full of surprises. It took my 9h30 to three-star all 42 missions and find everything in free Flight Mode. In fact, Free Flight mode took me longer than mission mode. I'm going to chip away at getting perfects now...very tricky... I could be a while!

Monster Games can do no wrong in my eyes. Excite Truck, Excite Bots, Piltowings Resort. What next? Wave Race 3DS?

Hurrah! Was worried this would go the way of ExciteBots and not get a Euro release.

This is a ridiculously good game. Can't get enough of it, and am currently 5 hours in, just seen the credits for the first time, unlocked the extra class and haven't even touched free flight mode.

It's a shame this doesn't actually play the proper multi-player Mahjong game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong but just Mahjong solitaire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong_solitaire

This is known as Spinning Logic in Japan, and came out 2nd December 2009. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/dsiware/ktyj/index.html

Spot on review. As a lifelong Pang fan (check my avatar) I'm loving this game. It's not perfect - if I could change one thing it would be the digitised speech, if I could change two I'd redo the main sprite - but it plays a brilliant game of Pang and you get a lot for your money. It seems to be a Europe only release at the moment.

Pang:MM is pretty good. My copy arrived on Saturday and kept me up until the early hours trying to gold a particularly tricky Central European location. I'd prefer a version of Mighty Pang! (the previous game in the series, CPS-II arcade only) on WiiWare or Virtual Console, though.

Really looking forward to Ivy the Kiwi

I played this in Java on my phone a few years back, it was great. I just hope it's not another version of the same game...

I loves this on the arcade and then later the recent PS3 remake (apart from the fact that the downloadable car pack was never released). I sold my PS3 long ago so I'm happy to buy this again on the Wii, especially with the extra courses and modes. Lots of unlockables. Thank you Konami!

I really hope they release the Circle game. One of my all time personal achievements is my 1,000,000 on the DS download version.

This is currently £0.59 on the App Store, for iPhone and iPod touch. The only difference is that it's in 2D. Bargain!

In Demon212's YouTube WiWare top 10, Platchen is #3, not #8

There's no way as a gamer resident in the EU, I am paying any more than £20 for this. Even if it's great, buying it will give publishers the green light to screw us over.

@Kenji510: it's worth the wait! I just dicovered a secret in the circle game - there is so much depth here! game of the year for me.

I'm loving this, you hardly ever see such good action/reflex games outside of Japan. The DS version is a brilliant addition.

However, I am so bad at the stick game it's embarrassing. More practice needed, I guess.

I'd have asked why it's a copy of the old Psygnosis PS1 game "Overboard".
