first!!

Wow, not a bad week...not bad by any means. Certainly makes up for the last few disappointments. I might get Alien Crush Returns.
...or Space Invaders get Even?...or wait for Gradius Rebirth? Or just go out and buy some more Wii points?! Ahhh, too many options...options...I'll wait for Gradius. ^^

wow good week 4u

WHERE'S MY STRONG BAD?!?

At least we got ACR, though: w00t! Not as bothered about the other two, though I may give 'em a wizz if I have some spare points.

This is a good week, two well spected games, and not very expensive.

Waiting for Space Invaders' Review.

This is the best WiiWare update we've ever seen!

STILL NO ARTSTYLE...STILL NO ART STYLE. Seriously, I'm considering boycotting WiiWare until they arrive.

Well I only have 500 Wii Points left and would prefer not to buy Wii points @ £7/1000 (I can get £6/1000 but I have to wait for delivery) so that leaves it with Space Invaders.

On the bright side two new games means the European review team can get busy

Not bad, they are getting there, but they are still missing one game. You need four games each fortnight NoE. Artstyle or SB would of been a nice fourth.
~ Here I come Space Invaders!!!

Yay for reviews!
@Starwolf: I presume you were reffering to Tesco's £11.99 for a 2000 card deal on their 'site? I know what you mean, though. I only tend to get stuff online if it's a pre-order these days.

Good week for releases! i have just recieved wii 2000 wii points aswell so good timing! Think i will have to try out space invaders as i have been looking forward 2 it even tho its going to cost 1500 in the end worth seeing wot its like for 500 points and maybe get brain challenge for my other half.

Whohooo !!!

I hope Space Invaders are out Monday

Downloaded space invaders now to try it out and im loving it already! already uploaded a high score to the rankings! pitty it was crap lol but nevermind.

I am really gonna keep an eye out for the Space Invaders review. If it is good then I will get it (just it) as I happen to have exactly 500 points!

What? No Strong Bad? Now that was unexpected... Huh...

Space Invaders, please come to the US...

Strong Bad was shafted for this? Ugh. Fail. Pass.

You guys are lucky, get even looks cool

the get even company is very sneaky. They bait u in with a low price, and if u get addicted u pay lots more lol. Hopefully they keep makin more DLC too.

Good for you Europe Now hurry up NoA and release Space Invaders over here!

anyone else got any first impressions of space invaders?

Looks like a good week on the Wiiware front. I know a lot of people have gone crazy over Alien Crush Returns, so I can appreciate this being one to look out for, that's for sure.

Concerning those disappointed that SBCG4AP Episode 3 didn't come out this week, I know how it feels like. In America, the games usually get released the Monday AFTER a recent Wiiware update, and coupled with the not-so-powerful European sales I shouldn't be surprised over the delay.

If you really can't wait for just two more weeks in the hope of seeing it again, you can still give the PC version a go - I'm not usually a PC gamer at all due to the awkwardness of maintaining your computer with the latest specs, but it somehow works fine on my wimpy machine, or at least from what I saw in the demo. So, if you want, you can try the demo and if you still think you'd get a kick, then go on and buy that. I know it won't be the same, but it'll hold you over either way

Where's World of Goo-hoo-hoo!

Been Waiting for alien and space invaders .finally play something totally different than MM9 been addicted to that game ever since it came on wiiware.untill a MM10 comes along.

I'm still not sure what to think of Space Invaders Get Even. I'll have to check the review.

Corbi its your fault that i only got 100 points left .
You review engorage me to buy Alien Crush Returns & now i don't have enough points for any trackpacks for GHWT

I heard space invaders is REALLY short, like 30 minutes

Nice update for EU, I'm eagerly awaiting get even to come to NA, I'm glad I'll get to check the review before that; and I still need to dowload ACR.

Where the heck is Strong Bad?

Edward J Grug III: I remember reading that World of Goo is being released on a retail disc in Europe instead of on Wiiware. However, I doubt they'd bother releasing it in Australia, which means your best bet is to buy it for PC/Mac, on the World of Goo website, playgreenhouse.com or Steam.

Waaah?!

That doesn't make sense, it's the highest rated game on Wii right now, why would they not release it here?

Good week for you guys in EU... i prolly wouldve get me the "Brain Challenge and Space Invaders Get Even".

You know on the Nintendo Channel, Brain Challenge is dated for a November 10th release... so I'd highly predict it'll come out next week!!

And yes, not a bad week for EU... and hopefully Space Invaders will come out here soon too!!

I'm glad we didn't get Strong Bad seeing as it sucks and I'm sick of seeing reviews that say each episode is more of the same. Lucky for us then we got a pretty strong week - I've actually managed to spend the 3,000 points I've been waiting to spend for the past month!

As one of the few occasions where NoE have done something right, I must congratulate them.

"You'll only get a "starter pack", and you have to buy the rest of the game's levels for a total of 1500 Wii Points (3 packs of 500 Points each)."

...and that's why I'm not going to be buying the Space Invaders game! Way to price yourselves out of the market, idiots! Alien Crush Returns looks pretty cool though...

I believe Brain Challenge is on the iPod App Store as well... I think I will get the on-the-go version instead

Not a bad week but I won't be getting any of these.

@Wiiloveit: Thanks for telling me about that offer, I'll be buying points more often now. I wish I found this earlier, I only bought a card last week.

If we don't get an Art Style game in two weeks I'll be severely disappointed.

Good week for you guys.
We get Brain Challenge on Manday, it says on the Nintendo Channel

They bait u in with a low price, and if u get addicted u pay lots more lol. Hopefully they keep makin more DLC too.
I don't think there can be much more DLC. You see the base game take ups over 300 blocks then each of the DLC packs is about 100 blocks totaling just under 600 blocks for the whole package.

Who has that sort of space on their Wiis?

If the DLC was more like 200 points I doubt anyone would complain

A good update, but still no 'Art Style' game, i can't understand it =(.

@ Space Invaders Get Even: O.K., it's not expensive, but you just get one stage!
And 500 Points for each level pack? So you have to pay 2000 points to get the full game?! Sorry, but for me this looks like a deceptive package and is definitively to pricey...

And ~ 650 blocks are also too much in comparison to the space on the Wii.

Wow, really good week. I gathered that Alien Crush might be released and Space Invaders was due last month, so that's quite good but i was hoping for an Art Style game. I'm not too fussed over Brain Challenge so i'm just glad to see it out of the way but with Art Style games, we've been waiting for ages while America has 3. Hardly fair.

Also, i have to say that i had no idea there was another Crush game in the series. I know quite a few games that are pretty obscure but that one completely slipped me. I'll look out for that in the future, although with Alien Crush Returns out at the same price Jaki Crush, it might not sell well.

Yes! Now I might have some more challengers on ACR's versus mode! Unfortunately, this also means my high scores are gonna get challenged back down to normal levels. Darn.

i hope we get Space Invaders Get Even this week the game looks sweet!

why does Australia get F in the A when it comes to video game releases just like Metal of honor heros 2 on the wii their is no online!!!!

Space Invaders Get Even looks like it could be fun... I really want Animales De La Muerte to come out on Monday, so I'm going to hold out for that. But if it doesn't come out yet, then I'll probably get Earthworm Jim and Proto Man with my 1,000 Wii Points that I have left right now.

Telltale Games? Are you listening? TELLTALE! Listen! Anyway, I thought that Strong Bad was supposed to be released every month, right? Well, how come our last Strong Bad dose was in September?

Space Invaders seems like a cool concept and I'd probably get it if the review is positive and indicates that you aren't required to buy all the levels to get a decent game length.

I downloaded space invaders i think its quite cool and quite funny u can abduct a cow to get extra time and bit of good fun and the star fox esque voice chatter u get from the the people shootin at u, it more of a rack up as many points as u can game to get high on the leader board it is a good fun shooter and has good bright colourful look only downside i see really is the DLC 500 for few more levels and the total space it takes up somethin like 600 blocks.. So to me i think wont see to much more in the way of DLC as u wouldnt have much room for anythin else

I'm trying to do a Wikipedia page on Jaki Crush. Can anyone give me more information? My friend has got it started and handed the job to me. I'm also trying to do a page abvout the series in general under it's unofficial series name, Crush Pinball.

@ Alien Crush Returns: Yeah, i'm on the 12th place in the world wide ranking of Level 3 . Wohoo^^.

Has anyone baught space invaders yet? Is it fun? Does it feature leader boards and online, local multiplayer?

@ ness
I think I hit somewhere in the top 30 on Level 3 the other day. It'll tell you that it took me 8 hours too! The thing is I had to go somewhere in the middle of it and it apparently continues to count time even when paused...

Crazynoodle:
No space invaders is a single player game works in the same way as star soldier does with the online leader boards

@ SmaMan: It took me many hours, too. And does the time really influence the place?

Hi, I've already post this on the ACR Review topic.

Hi.

Yesterday, I made 68.000.000 pts on table 3 in 1hour (I left pass last balls because I had to go ^^ ) . But my score is no listed on the leaderboards.

http://www.hudson.co.jp/ww/aliencrush/usa/e/ranking_ac3_01.html

When I'm connect to CWF, datas are sent, but nothing on the ranking.

Do you have to make other special thing to send your score?

Not many people seem to have bought this game, or play it online. It took me ages to get an opponent this morning. Still, since all of you crazy Americans were asleep, I'll let you off.
Without looking at the Wii Shop sales though, I can tell that this game is being neglected. I mean, come on - the leaderboard only has the top 52 spaces filled so far (out of 1000).
I think what's more distressing (for me, at least), is that I'm 49th out of all those. Oops.

@ness
No I don't think your place on the boards depends on time. With my 8 hour score I was placed between to one hour scorers.
@Ouazegaga
Try scrolling down a bit when you're looking at the Wi-Fi leaderboards. I missed mine a few times, but I'd always find it eventually.
@Wiiloveit
If you're still on, this crazy American is looking for some challengers right now! I was actually so lucky as to do a 4 PLAYER match just now!

@ Wiiloveit: That is wrong, the leaderboard does not only has the top 52 spaces filled, because you always see some place behind you, not every place. For example 2 days ago i was on place ~ 120.

wheres the review for space invaders.
demon212 has done a good review on youtube though.
