"I don't see WiiWare getting a good RPG. Either it'll have a lot of content, and will take up half of the Wii's internal memory, or it'll be stripped of everything that makes RPGs good so it won't take up too much memory."
@ 31. ACK! - I think your review was excellent and it deserves the score you gave it, with the only down side in the game is that robot voice (unless you can turn it off!)
@ 33. LAA - Since these games are published by Nintendo it is an automatic download for me.
Art Style: CUBELLO (Nintendo, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii Points): Art Style: CUBELLO mixes the strategy and feel of a traditional puzzle game with the precision and reflexes required in a shooter. As each stage begins, various colored cubes form into one large object called a Cubello, which floats and rotates as you play. Launch additional cubes from your magazine and try to connect four or more of the same color, removing them from the Cubello and eventually leaving only its core. Take on the challenge of either Stage or Endless mode and watch what happens when Bonus Time is activated. The straightforward controls and goal ensure that anyone can play, while offering enough depth that even advanced players will find themselves quickly addicted to the unique world of Art Style: CUBELLO.
YES!!!!! This is the news I was waiting for, just need to get more SD cards incase I'm out of space on the first one. This is why I think SD cards are better. You can easily remove them than hard drives!
However, would you still only access 48 channels?
UPDATE #1: I'm not happy now. I like the other idea that you can play from them! UPDATE #2: @ #87 (thewiirocks) - I'm starting to get confused which system is going to happen for SD cards in the spring of 2009. UPDATE #3: @ #93 (Twilight Crow) - We'll just have to find out in 2009.

Re: Review: The Incredible Maze (WiiWare)
No surprises by this score. Great review Alex!

If they made it like N64, this might fit!
Re: Brand New Sorcery Blade Game Play Video
I really hope this comes to WiiWare, especially in North America. I'll be very disappointed if it doesn't.
Re: Review: Tetris Party (WiiWare)
Great review. I am enjoying this game right now!
@Dazza - I hope you download Tetris Party, it's fun!
Re: Mart Racer To Bring Supermarket Sweep Excitement To WiiWare
I hate to say this but it's another piece of Wii Shovelware. The graphics are awful!
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Tetris Party & The Incredible Maze
Tetris Party is 244 Blocks
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Tetris Party & The Incredible Maze
@ pagster - These games won't be available until 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Tetris Party & The Incredible Maze
@ wesleyh - Sounds/Looks like Wii Shovelware!
I think I'll pass on that then.
EDIT: However, that still leaves me 1500 Wii Points to spend on Tetris Party & more Mega Man 9 content!
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Tetris Party & The Incredible Maze
@11. Jockolantern - It's supposed to be. There was a news article on Nintendo's site that we're getting two Art Style games in October.
Re: Second Wave of Mega Man 9 DLC Released!
@ Dazza - I think that's what I remember from the WSC.
EDIT: Fake Man looks like the police!
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Tetris Party & The Incredible Maze
@KnucklesSonic8 - I'll let you take it then!
Re: The Incredible Maze
Sounds interesting, but I'll wait for a review on this one.
EDIT: After looking at screenshots on the site posted in the USA WiiWare Update article, I think I'll pass. It looks like Shovelware!
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Tetris Party & The Incredible Maze
@ danik - You should get Tetris Party this week (it's the last WiiWare week in October for your region).
Re: Second Wave of Mega Man 9 DLC Released!
I'm thinking they are 100 Wii Points for each content?
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Tetris Party & The Incredible Maze
Instant download!
EDIT: Oh.. and Mega Man 9 DLC today as well. This is exciting!

Re: Tetris Party Released On WiiWare In Japan
@ Dazza - Yeah, but I think it's the 20th anyway because there was a Tetris Party info video on the Nintendo Channel just now.
Re: Review: Art Style: Cubello (WiiWare)
Great start to the Art Style Series!
Re: Tetris Party Released On WiiWare In Japan
"Tetris Party is now confirmed on the official site to be coming out on the 20th October. That's this coming Monday!"
Where on the site does it say that? I can't find it.
Although, I saw the video of it on the Nintendo Channel so that date may be correct.
Re: High Voltage Interview: High Voltage Hot Rod Show
Very interesting interview. Playing from the Gamecube controller makes me happy!
Re: Tetris Party Released On WiiWare In Japan
"Haven't we gotten enough remakes of tetris?"
No we didn't, but seeing that Tetris Party has so many great modes I think we got enough tetris action.
I'm kind of surprised MLE didn't show up on WiiWare in Japan today.
Re: Review: World of Goo (WiiWare)
@ 51. kirk - You can send gifts from both VC & WiiWare sections of the Wii Shop Channel.
@ 68. AlexSays - 6th place? I hope World of Goo continues to sell well!
Re: Review: World of Goo (WiiWare)
YES... 10/10!
Congratulations on your first 10 rating WiiWare World! LET'S CELEBRATE!
Also, big time credit to 2D Boy for an awesome WiiWare game!
Re: USA WiiWare Update: World Of Goo & Art Style: Cubello
@82. Peznaze - Remember that Nintendo said last month that 2 more Art Style games will be released during the month of October.
We still have one more Art Style game this month!
Re: Mindware Interview Part 2 - MaBoShi: The Three Shape Arcade
Any release date?
Re: USA WiiWare Update: World Of Goo & Art Style: Cubello
@30. ATRUEZELDAFAN: 12 PM Eastern/9 AM Pacific
Re: Art Style: Cubello
I think all the bit generation games are going to be 600 Wii Points.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: World Of Goo & Art Style: Cubello
AWESOME UPDATE!
Re: USA VC Releases: Mario Golf and Shining Force II
@ Bendover83: Guess What? 2nd straight week of no TG16 games!
http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=16546
I guess Nintendo doesn't like Hudson at all!
Re: More Bit Generations Games Coming To WiiWare
And the next Art Style game is CUBELLO!

Re: Introducing High Voltage Hot Rod Show for WiiWare
This game looks WAY better than SPOGS Racing!
I'm planning on getting this game once it comes out.
Re: New WiiWare Games: Cave Story And Boingz
Now I have no plans on getting Tetris Party...getting Cave Story instead!
Re: New WiiWare Game: Let's Catch
I'm not interested in a game of catch. No thanks.
Re: Boingz
This game is kind of interesting!
Re: Cave Story
I'm up for this game!
Re: New WiiWare Games: Cave Story And Boingz
Cave Story will be another game on my "WiiWare games to get" list. Thanks Dazza, thats awesome it's coming to WiiWare!
Re: WiiWare Games To Be Playable Directly From SD Cards

However, would you still only access 48 channels?

Re: Eternity's Child Delayed - Sequel Announced!
WOW...now the sequel is exciting! Luc, I'll get Retro Child!
Re: MaBoShi: The Three Shape Arcade
MaBoShi is coming to Japan October 7th!

Re: Art Style: Orbient
@Corbie - Who is going to review this game?
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Bomberman Blast And Art Style: ORBIENT
worrybomb - and that is a nice score for Art Style: Orbient... an 8.5!
Re: Art Style: ORBIENT
WOW! I just saw that review on IGN...(Art Style: ORBIENT)
8.5 is pretty good! Worth the 600 Wii Points!
Re: Art Style: ORBIENT
This game looks a carbon copy of the News & Forecast Channels in the Wii Menu!
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9, Strong Bad Ep 2 and Helix
Corbie - Thanks for this avatar, didn't expect it!
Re: EU WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9, Strong Bad Ep 2 and Helix
@ 5 - The reason why Europe got three games again was because we had a 2 game WiiWare week, instead of 1.
Awesome WiiWare update! I'm enjoying Mega Man 9 right now!
Re: Major League Eating Coming to Japan, With New Characters
I'm very surprised Major League Eating is coming to Japan!
Re: Mega Man 9 To Support Classic And Gamecube Controllers
Turns out GameCube controller support didn't happen.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9 and Plättchen
@calculon - The chances of your region getting this game is very high because Japan is also getting Mega Man 9 on Wednesday!
@Cartoty - That's a very good score!
I would give this game an 8 or 9 out of 10.
Re: USA WiiWare Update: Mega Man 9 and Plättchen
YAY, MEGA MAN 9 IS HERE!!
I'm happy Plättchen: Twist 'n' Paint is 1000 Wii Points here, instead of 1500.
Re: My Pokémon Ranch
Just in case you all didn't know, you can save photos from My Pokemon Ranch on a SD card & upload them onto Facebook or some other place/site.
