@ Bahamut ZERO: Did you play Skies of Arcadia (Legends), the whole Tales of - series, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Baldur's Gate, the Persona series, the Elder Scrolls series, Mass Effect, the Pokemon series, the Phantasy Star series, the Breath of Fire series, Golden Sun I & II, Grandia II, the Fallout series, Diablo I & II, Fable I & II, ........ ?

If yes, then i understand your comment "Square has a monopoly on RPGs" less than before.

@ Digiki: The gameplay of SMRPG is different and not so typical for the genre, so you can't compare it so easily with other RPGs. I think that is the main reason for your disaffirmation.

@ Mickeymac: "I doubt we'll see Yoshi's Island and Majora's Mask this year, due to emulation difficulties"

Yoshi's Island and emulation difficulties?

@ MetroidMedia: Super Smash. Bros. comes out this month in Japan, so it shouldn't take so long to get to America and Europe.

Sure it looks good, but i don't agree with the comments that this looks better than Shaun Whites Snowboarding.

@ 40MB: Maybe there are just not many routes.

@ Bahamut ZERO "Square has a monopoly on RPGs.":

You don't play many RPGs, or?

@ Super Mario RPG: I don't think it is overrated. I just think some people complain about it because there are other RPGs they like more, but that don't have to mean that SMRPG isn't great.

@ Ricardo91: "You guys waited an entire week for just 2 Wiiware games?"

Actually we waited two weeks for the WiiWare games.

@ Comments: Sometimes i really ask myself if everybody understand the 'Scoring Policy' of WiiWare-World and know that 6/10 are not bad...

Great to see DoReMi Fantasy on that list =).

Actually i own 3 of them, but like "Sharecrow" i was already planning to get the other two.

@ Stuffgamer1: "I've beaten all 8 Mega Man games before this, but can't even beat (or get to) a single level boss in Mega Man 9."

What? Not even on the standard difficulty level? Maybe you get a little bit old^^.
I thought it is one of the easier classic Mega Man games.

Wow, and i beat the game on the hardest difficulty level. Am i that good?^^

Absolute great list, and i have all of them =).

My (Top 6) list would be nearly the same:

6.: LostWinds
4.: Art Style - Orbient / MaBoShi
3.: Toki Tori
1. Mega Man 9 / World of Goo

Argh, sorry, i checked it once again, and i have to admit that i miscount the stages =(.

Great update with an absolutely awesome MaBoShi =).

It's sad to read that some members dislike Majora's Mask because it did something different than before =(.

If everybody would think so, the Zelda series would never develop further, so hopefully after the great, but in some way old Twilight Princess, the developers try something new like they did for example with Majora's Mask.

@ "I really don't understand why so many people want Majora's Mask."

The big black number in the green box should answer your question .

@ DarkAkatosh: It's a stream service, so it can't have a big affect on it.

@ Wiiloveit: I can't remember that Sony point out that the PS3 is a pure game console .

@ News: If the service is for free, why not?

Cool, the picture has a very unique style. Hope we get a trailer in the next time to see the game in motion.

Flame people? Fanboy? Huh?

I just want to make clear that your negative points are not that negative because either your explanation is weird or it is the intention of the game or the genre to do so.

And to say that your comment was childish and provoking is rather an "attack" to your text than to your person.

Cool, i really look forward to SSB =).

@ World 1-1: Mediocre is 5/10, not 7/10 .

@ absen's deleted text: Your whole comment is still very childish and provoking.

If you read reviews (not just the score), you should have known what the game is all about. And i still ask myself if you really played the game when i have to read:

"The game doesn't even make creative use of the Wii controller; you might as well be using a mouse or standard controller."

A standard controller? How should that function?

Another point: Do you know Tetris? It is normal in a Puzzle-game that (with the time) the action gets faster, and also the game mechanics of Tetris isn't much more different than the game mechanics of Cubello, so i don't understand why you complain about the gameplay. This is a puzzle game, and if you play it right you have fun, but i think you don't even try to understand Cubello.

"Basically you could just sit there and mash the A button over and over again and sometimes win and sometimes not."

This is also so ridiculous that it proves that you don't play the game.

@ absen and the deleted text: "As simple as it is, it took ages for me to understand what the actual point was."

It took ages to understand? Did we play the same game?

And maybe you should read some reviews before you buy games .

@ absen's deleted "Review": The first paragraph says nothing about the game, the third paragraph says nothing about the game, and even the second paragraph says next to nothing about the game, so the whole comment is ridiculous.

@ Virus: There are 55 Stages. (You have to collect the moon in every stage.)

Oh no, just 2 games!!1
(That was sarcasm.)

Great update =).

The whole Art Style series is awesome, and i will definitively buy these two games and the WarioWare game at the start of DSiWare here in Europe =).

@ RADE: They are not good, they are great!^^

Boah, it gets more and more on my nerves to read the comments, and sometimes i really ask myself how old several people behind the texts are...

I am very interested to the upcoming review of Fun! Fun! Minigolf, hopefully it is a good game.

And this was the answer considering Europe 2 month ago:

"This is something we've been considering, but no final decision has been made yet. We know that there are a number of fans in Europe who would love to get their hands on these titles."

So nothing really changes.

@ thewiirocks (if you read this): Now i have a chance to play Orbient, and again i have to say i cannot see that any game mechanics changes in comparison to Orbital. It's still the same gameplay, unless that the graphics and sounds are better.

And it is still great .

@ thewiirocks: Now i have a chance to play Orbient, and again i have to say i cannot see that any game mechanics changes. It's still the same gameplay, unless that the graphics and sounds are better.

@ "More than $20...if you find anywhere with a copy. Its retail price was ¥2000 which means places like Play-Asia will charge $25 and there there is shipping which tends to be about $3."

In the end Play-Asia sold the games for around 10$ and less.

Fantastic update, i will download World of Goo and Orbient later this day =).

@ Bass X0: Fun! Fun! Minigolf, Cave Story, Gradius Rebirth and Swords & Soldiers are all games to look forward to and which should be released in the first quarter of 2009.

@ Starwolf_UK: How can you give a guess about the license costs? Did Nintendo or a 3rd-Party developer say something about it in the past?

Wohoo! Orbient & World of Goo. What a fantastic and great update this Friday!

I can remember at the old Nintendo website there was a text behind every VC game you bought, which said that you will get stars for them in the future, but nothing happened in that way =(.

And now i see that America gets this feature =(.
(I know, just for some games.)

@ Hilanderous: Hanafuda is a great game, especially on Clubhouse Games/42 All-Time Classics, but it is not easy to understand^^.

@ Hilanderous: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanafuda

A great game, especially on Clubhouse Games/42 All-Time Classics, but it is not easy to understand^^.

Wow @ the Game & Watch Collection and the Hanafuda Cards. Hopefully we in Europe also get this.

@ Nobarai: Thanks^^. Sadly not many members customize their avatars because of the Christmas time =(.

@ Wario game: It's great that it use the camera, so this would be my third 'must buy'^^.

Wow @ the Game & Watch Collection and the Hanafuda Cards. Hopefully we in Europe also get this.

"I wonder if the 15 DSi owners outside of Japan will give us impressions."

Is it generally possible to download japanese DSi games with an importet DSi?

@ News: Great to see new 'Art Style' titles, they will be the first games for me to download when the DSi will be released here in Europe in the first half of the year =).

Here is a trailer from the line-up:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43708.html

Wow, Fun! Fun! Minigolf looks better than the most Wii-Retail-Games. But like many people said, the gameplay counts, so hopefully the graphics will not be the best of the game^^.

It looks great, and after the video i am really interested in this game =).

@ Starwolf_UK "Also I don't remember the item pieces having the change colour effect in the GBA version."

The items in Dialhex can also change the color of some pieces and can create "the hole", so this is not new.

I agree with KeeperBvK, i don't understand some members who complain about the thing that Europe gets 4 games. You get 2 games in one week, so it's just the same.

@ EU Update: Wohoo @ Rotohex, i've downloaded it in the morning =).
@ KeeperBvK: The "Sprint Mode" is new, and very hard =(.^^

It's not that bad if the consequence is that "Swords & Soldiers" becomes better.

"These developers (all two of them) better never make a game ever again because anything else will be a disappointment."

If every developer had followed this advice in the past we would have missed some of the best games of all time .

@ Wiiloveit: Thank you for the answer =).

@ WiiWare-World: Is there the possibility that you will integrate the function that everybody can rate WiiWare games? Like it is at vc-reviews.com.

@ Olimar_91: You have to download three optional DLC packs for 500 points each to get the full game. So you need 2000 points.

Again @ wesleyh, because you didn't answer my question:

"The point is that none of those games are "revolutionary" as paul-b suggested."

And why is Wii Sports revolutionary and for example Trauma Center or Wario Ware not?

"The point is that none of those games are "revolutionary" as paul-b suggested."

And why is Wii Sports revolutionary and Trauma Center not?

"Yeah because the rabid nintendo fanboy knows more about porting a game from a stronger console to a weaker console then the company who makes the game."

You didn't hear much PR-accounts in the past, or?

"So if the game is going to be unprofitable, why the hell would they waste their money porting it?"

That's what i said. I meant unprofitable according to WiiWare, not XBLA.

@ Damo: What in BCR takes so much hardware power that it would not be possible on the Wii? Sure you can't expect a 1:1 port and I know that you have to downgrade the graphics, but it would not change the game as a whole and it wouldn't be hard to do so.

I think Capcom thinks that it is just too unprofitable to port it to WiiWare.

The technology isn’t powerful enough? Sorry, but that is ridiculous.

#16 (Jolted85): "least you guys got 3 games, we only get 2 or 1."

Yeah, but we get VC-Games only every two weeks, so it's likely the same .
