Finally, been waiting for some info on this for what seems like ages. Will be getting it day one no doubt, going to keep some points aside especially for it. Going to play through the first one again just before the Winter of the Melodias comes out.
I REALLY hope this hits PAL regions this week. I spent so much time on this as a kid and have had the urge to play it again for years. Why did I have to give my SNES away??
@Falk Sturmfels - Nope I actualy only had 7 of the 20. I could easily get a few more hours out of the game if I searched for them all, but I am not really a perfectionist with those kind of things I would much prefer to enjoy a second run through of the game.
@blackeyeddog did it work for you? My link just played a 6 second tune. I noticed the download helper add-on was flashing in my firefox though so I clicked that and it let me download the propper file which is 19 minutes long.
Been playing Icarian for a few hours and really enjoying it. Would recommend it to people thinking of buying. Very beautiful game and the music is great.
I am guessing it will get an 8 or 9. I would give it a 9 myself, although I haven't finished it yet so that opinion may change.
@Loopstar I only have 2 at the moment. I found them on level 2 ( go up the map and shoot the crates on the right hand side) and level 5 (go aroung the right hand corner where you spawn, there are some crates next to the base).
@Falk Sturmfels I am having the exact same problem. I was stuck on level 8 on friday at the final boss so decided to give it a rest. Went back to it this morning, got a few new level 2 guns from previous levels and still can't kill it.
@ KDR_11k (comment 115) A is the fastest turning speed, I had it on C originaly and felt it was a bit slow so switched to A and then it too fast Im on B now which I feel is just about right.
"We hope to change this for our fans overseas at some point in the very near future." What are the problems you get with bringing a game to PAL regions? Are sales so bad over here that there is no point releasing them? I hope this change is made soon, HVS have a few WiiWare games I would buy.
We are also getting strong bad. Here is an extract from a news letter email they sent out on the 12th: "The Wii version sells for 1000 Wii points and is available in North and South America today, with releases in other territories coming this Friday. "
EU current ranks: 1. TV Show King 2. LostWinds 3. Cocoto Fishing Master 4. FFCC:MLaaK 5. Block Breaker Deluxe 6. Dr. Mario & Germ Buster 7. Star Soldier R 8. Toki Tori 9. Actionloop Twist
I will be getting Kirby 64 the moment it hits the EU. I have had 800 points left a side for Fun Pak for about a year now but it doesnt look like thats coming so I will have to settle for this.

Re: Review: Icarian: Kindred Spirits (WiiWare)
Just finished the game, I clocked 04:01, did LostWinds in 03:12 so this is the longer game for sure.
LittleIrves - I didn't actually notice that theres only 2 enemy types until I read your comment. The final "boss" is certainly different though.
Re: Review: Swords & Soldiers (WiiWare)
caelett - Read the review It says three campaigns each about 2hrs long. So you would get around 6hrs total.

Re: Review: Onslaught (WiiWare)
What weapon are people using to kill the level 8 boss? Had a few more tries and still can't do it. I'm only playing on normal as well. I must suck bad

Re: Evasive Space - Best Evasive Skills Competition
Hey Dazza do you have any idea if Evasive Space is going to have a PAL release since HVS is not publishing this one?

Re: EU WiiWare Update: Onslaught and Pop-Up Pirate!
Really enjoying Onslaught. Done the first 7 levels and played through the 8th but died on the boss so have decided to have a break.

Re: Art Style Continues on DSiWare
As much as I would like a DSi, it doesn't offer enough new features for me to upgrade my Lite.

Re: Europe to Get World of Goo This Friday

This was the very first game I owned. As Gavin said it was built into the Master System which was my first console
If they put it on the VC I would download it in a flash.

Still I shouldn't complain, this is a great idea from the BBC and I may redownload the channel.
