At least you get VC AND Wiiware games

Plus, you got 2 Wiiware Games this week, twice as much than we got after the launch titles had been released

Wow, an update to mobile Arkanoid and a fishiing game. Should take the top two spots next week then. Excuse my cynicism but how the HELL do Nintendo live with themselves for letting people publish crap like this.

Arkanoid has nearly always been fun - but considering that most people have played it in some form since 1976 and nowadays very good variations are freely available why the hell would anyone want to pay $8 (or nearly $12 equivalent in the UK) for an upgraded mobile phone game?

As for virtual fishing? I'll stick with LoZ:OoT - you get a proper game with it for a bit more cash.

Bad week! I won't be buying any of these.

Hmm, pass.

I'm sure many will enjoy Block Breaker, and maybe some don't know what Zelda is but want to test how fishing is on Wii? Then this game for 7€ could be a steal. But I wouldn't get my hopes up about the second, since Cocoto Racing was REALLY crap

I'm getting arkanoid ds soon. No thanks.

Guess I'll be saving my points for another week again.

Arkanoid DS is said to be crap...

dbolt: Same. sigh And I was REALLY looking forward to today's update after last week's disappointment (minus VC).

Good job Nintendo, you ain't getting my points this week either.

Roll on the reviews is all I have to say. I have a strange feeling the fishing game is aimed at a younger audience and the breakout game is well...breakout.

Excuse my cynicism but how the HELL do Nintendo live with themselves for letting people publish crap like this.
If they rejected games, developers wouldn't develop for them* and we would all whine about Nintendo be evil mizars only letting games they want come out.
*- Say it costs $50,000 to develop. If you can't publish it how do you recoup the money?

sigh and to think I wake up like a kid at cristmas every monday, just to find this.

They really are holding off the big games.......

gyrostarr was expected!

I only hope the UK gets some good wiiware love this Friday.
Pop/DYC is overdue!

You guys have got to stop expecting AAA titles every week. Besides, at least we are getting games at all - Europe and Japan's releases have been sporadic and uneven. Every week, Nintendo is giving us something new - not necessarily stuff that EVERYONE wants to play, but at least there's variety.

Ark noydz!

Wow Nintendo, what do you have against us Europeans?! Not content with America having seven (7) more WiiWare games than us, you had to go and give them yet another two! Even if the new games perhaps aren't of the most stunning quality, North America, nevertheless, now has a grand total of nine (9) more WiiWare games than our lot! Was it something we said?!

Only two games that we haven't got yet are worth downloading though - Pop and maybe Defend Your Castle. I might download Pop when it becomes available.

You're right of course, Bass XO- even if all nine (9) of the games that America have that we don't were to suddenly become available, I'd likely only download one or two, if any. The point though, is that it's bloody annoying that North America are somehow deemed fit to have a whopping nine more games available for download than us. It's not fair I tell you!

Another week of crud. Where is Gyrostarr and Tetris?

@bwaybuddy26: You get a cookie

@Starwolf_UK: I can cope with that (waiting for good quality games that is)

People are getting WAY too hard to please these days...

More like: people are too used to instant gratification.

Shoot! I've yet to come close to finishing either LostWinds or Toki Tori. I guess there's the beauty in actually being busy with work. Slow releases just don't bother me all that much. Plenty of regular Wii games yet to finish, too.

@WarioFan63
Somebody frame that statement and hang it up on the highest wall...good grief people calm down...and c'mon we got Samurai Shodown!! I'm sure there's probably a lot of great VC games released in the past year that you wanted to get but didn't have the points, go get them if you're going to be insistantly fed up with the Shop Channel releases!

Don't even go there; you guys got 5 VC games last week while we got 1!

@ Mike- agreed.
they get way better VC games,
and most of our WiiWare games suck anyway.

why all say north america??
in central and south america they release wiiware every week
hehe lol

i just downloaded tv show king and its so fun its all in spanish (from spain of curse and sucks mexico voices would be better)

and for this week i would download samouray showdown its one of my fabs

Yeah, we have to wait EVERY TWO FRIDAYS for our WiiWare games.

Man, this sucks...

i guarantee we won't get Gyrostarr this month.
probably not even next month.

Nintendo is going to milk the games that are already out for as long as possible. (Dr. Mario, Pokemon Channel)
we probably won't get any noteworthy games for a month.

next week i'm predicting Beer Pong and Home Sweet Home.
week after that: Major League Eating

Note we got two this week. Well... two games that aren't half as good as a normal game, so... really... More like 0.8 of a WiiWare game?

Any week with Samurai Shodown is a good week, though.

@supermario
My predictions for the next 3 weeks:
Week1: Beer Pong and Home Sweet Home (like you thought)
Week2: Major League Eating and Gyrostarr
Week3: Strongbad and Shovelware

Well, judging from the Nintendo Channal videos, Block Breaker Deluxe looks really cool and I'll possibly get it, and that fishing one looks...different, I suppose. I'm not a fan of fighting games, so Samuari Showdown doesn't interest me, but at least it's good, and it's nice to see the Neo Geo getting supported with good games, I'm assumed it was going to be ignored like the Master System was.

Where the hell is gyrostar? Has anyone downloaded these games yet? I would like someones opinion on them. Damn, I had 1000 points lined up for gyrostar? Is tv show king any good?
Thanks

okay, we may get VC and WW games at the same time each week... but with weeks like this it hardly makes it worth it. none of these games are worth downloading in my opinion. maybe the Samurai game, but i'd rather wait for something else. i thought we were getting Super Mario RPG this month?

Japan is not America

@ Objection_Blaster-
i'm calling it here.
we won't get Gyrostarr until mid-July.

Is BBDX Worth it? Anyone?

Glad to hear SOMEONE speak positively about it.

Hows Multi?
Is 800 justified?
Are the uninspired, "hip" characters annoying?

Thanks for your impressions. I REALLY need a Review from SOMEWHERE.

Heh. Ironic since I'm such a patient person.

Ha Ha Ha NA is complaining about getting crappy games and EU is complaining about not having the same crappy games available.

no miis in BBDx how sad

Yay for crappy games.

I was really hoping Gyrostarr would be releasing this week. Oh well, next week =)

I was really hoping Plattchen would release this week, myself.

I have no IDEA when Gyrostarr can come anymore. Nintendo's pulling off the same stunts as the VC, and this makes me an unhappy camper. I'm not as mad about the VC Updates but WiiWare is starting to get to me considering how much I love WiiWare.

But anyway... I'm sure BBDX has more value in its purchase than Cocoto Fishing Master, anyway.

@Tim: crap is better than nothing, because one's crap is another's treasure

I wonder, maybe High voltage has been putting off development of Gyrostarr, since they are also working two other games(one Wiiware, one Disc, possibly others), and they already had that blackjack game that could have caused them to pause production to finish. I know High Voltage isn't all that small a company, but they certainly not a big-name developer either.
