Wiiware could have been so much more. It is interesting to see why it wasn't from a developer's perspective. For years we have heard of how Nintendo treats its developers. I say good for him for giving us a glimpse behind the Iron Curtain.
Flips over to La-Mulana's cancellation article...well, dammit.
"Overall, the console that established a whole new market in motion gaming, not to mention some top-notch titles, is having a reasonable final hurrah."
I completely disagree here. The PS2 had an amazing hurrah, as Sony allowed 3rd party developers to go crazy in its last days. Persona 4, which was critically praised and attained a great following, Sakura Wars, the last great PS2 pre-order pack, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, Jak & Daxter Lost Frontier. Big games (2 of which are on Wii, btw) were still coming out REGULARLY.
The Wii is going out with a whimper, Zelda be damned.

Re: Enclave Finally Steps Out of the Shadows on 22nd May
I'd play it. Have played worse on the wii and the original xbox (hell, played some of this on xbox!).
Could be a great revival if they keep porting stuff to the wii. Keep em coming!
Re: La-Mulana Canned for North America, Europe
Man...I had this on the want list. Instead of Operation Rainfall, can we do Operation Puddle for Wiiware games?

Re: Review: Pandora's Tower (Wii)
7 out of 10? Still buying it when it makes it over here to NA. Too weird a premise for the ol' Wii to pass up.
