Woo hoo. Beer Pong!

'Bout time you guys got Pong Toss.

Quite a poor week in my opinion, but I'm still looking forward to trying Snowboard Riot. The less said about Beer Pong the better though...

I'm surprised it took you this long to get it, but it sucks that you had to in the first place. Hope your next update is better.

I don't believe it! BEER PONG!
Are we ever gonna see any of High Voltage's games over here? I'd like to play Gyrostarr. At least The Conduit is being published by Sega so it has a better chance.

That's crap! While Beer Toss may be bad/awful/etc. Why the hell can't Aussies buy it???

This just gets worse and worse!

EDIT: While it may look like I'm complaining for no reason, this sets a precident: If it's OK not to give us this game, then it's OK not to give us other games, some of which might be good ones.

Congrats Europe, you get the best, most anticipated WW game of all time; Beer Pong

How about combining two of the worst WiiWare games to make something more interesting?
BEER SPOGS: Designated Driver
...or maybe not

Think about it this way, the worst is over. Unless Hockey All-Star Shootout is headed over there sometime soon.

It can only go up from here!

So whats that 2 US exclusive titles, 18 more to go

By US exclusive I mean not out in Europe...a vast majority are not out in Japan either (some are like Majour League eating)

Just go back and play Onslaught and hope Life Force arrives next week.

Wow.
You guys in EU are such lucky ducks! You not only get one AAA title but 2! Gosh I wish we were this fortunate wink wink

@Crono
I hate to have to remind all the USAians all the time, but those two "AAA" games have to last us two weeks. No more WiiWare for two weeks

You mcan blame Michal Atkisin for lake of Beer Pong .
I can easily understand the influence that games can do .
I mean if a game where you control the character decide on what the character does & where you cecome the character i can understand why games can influence the gamers the wrong way .

I wish many more gamers can understand that simple fact befor thay claim that games like Grand theft auto manhunt ect are harmless fun .

I guess in the end that too many gamer believe that playing a video game is no different that watching a movie with the excat same acts in it .

Enjoy Europe! chuckles

Ouch, You really got screwed.

Four Ecks and Fosters are brands of lager only sold in the UK because the Aussies throw it away

Sorry...

What is it rank on the Charts

@tootie_kicks - USAian is not a cromulent word. We live in the United States of America, silly. That's like saying you're an CoAian because Australia is really a continent. And besides, you're addressing all of North America, not just the US of A.

Besides, there are two games there to last you the two weeks you need to wait. You lucky dog. We usually have to wait for one every week!

@thewiirocks
1. Since there is always a need to comment about PAL getting 2 games which averages out to only 1 a week, I felt like rubbing someone the wrong way.

2. It's technically Commonwealth of Australia, but yeah I get it.

3. Crono was implying that we got two games in one week, as opposed to their one (just Onslaught), whereas it averages out to one game per week, so we aren't actually better off.

It 's just that Australia's been getting the short end of the vicious club lately with regards to games, so I just needed to vent a little.

“Crono was implying that we got two games in one week”

I wasn`t implying anything to say the least. I was actually using sarcasm to be funny and brighten someones day with a good laugh. And the truth is you guys actually waited for this update for 2 weeks and got absolute (as some would claim) crap!

And seriously, where in my previous comment does it say “you guys got 2 WiiWare titles in one week!”

@Crono
I assumed by 'You not only get one AAA title but 2!' you were comparing it to you getting only 1 game this week, whereas we don't get any next week.

I think this is a case of assume making an ass of u and me... mostly me...

@Dazza: Would anyone? Especially if it was Root Beer

I've heard that snowboard riot isn't such a bad game... Maybe 5/10 is a bit harsh?

@tootie kicks
I didn`t expect anyone to go into such a conversation with me saying what I did.

Read this sentence I wrote:
“You not only get one AAA title but 2!”
After reading that the first time, then realizing I was talking about Snowboard Riot and Pong Toss I`d think that just like everyone else you`d find it as a funny joke.
...apparently you did not.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Whoops was I laughing? Sorry guys.

@Crono
Yes, I did see that you were joking about them being good games when they are (at best) mediocre (no offense to any one who like either of them).

I then thought you were doing the usual American thing of complaining that we got two games this week and you only got one, and mentioned (rather bitterly) that it had to last us.

At this point I'm dissillutioned with the whole VC/WW thing (being Aussie and all), and this caused me to miss subtle cues and fail at teh intarwebs.

I hope I speak for all Australians when I say screw you Nintendo

Last week, as Australia doesn't get C64 games, we got one game. This week as Australia doesn't get beer pong (for which we should probably actually be thankful) we only get one game. So for the last two weeks Australia and New Zealand get at least half the game releases of any other country.

@Crono: sarcasm is hard to pick up on the internet... apparently

@Damo: Wow you've actually had XXXX? Its absolute rubbish isn't it

Not the best update for EU...lol.

On another note, guys/girls, I might be getting a Wii Points Card this Saturday. I'll have 2500 points total. What games should I get? I know I want Onslaught, which will leave me with 1500 points left.
What should I get with the rest of the points, or should I save up for some more games?

Well sorry to hear you got these two games. I might get these games eventually, but they would appear at the bottom of my most wanted list for Wii Shop Games! (year or so down the road)

"And besides, you're addressing all of North America, not just the US of A."

All of America, actually.

BEER PONG! I SO WANTED THAT TO COME OUT INSTEAD OF GRADIUS REBIRTH! <_<

Not that I use the UK Wii Channel any more.

Well my wiiare wishlist hasnt got any longer with these two stinkers getting released. I'm probably the only one who hasnt got World of Goo yet. I really want it though. Must...get...more...points!

Meh but I kinda expected it to suck.

Yes! Snowboard Riot!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

@Timp29, I said "Screw You Nintendo of Australia" when I imported a Gamecube the day it came out in America, and have imported everything ever since. Not only do we get screwed on releases in Australia, we pay more over here. When you can get games cheaper INCLUDING the postage from overseas than over here, it's just sad.

NO! NOOOO! WHY?! We did NOT need Pong Toss

More shovelware crap, thanks Nintendo.

Snowboard Riot wasnt too bad, I quite enjoyed it, not in an SSX way but more in a MarioKart way with all the attacks and power ups etc...
I would think that online would be really good but im having trouble finding opponents to race against.

Interestingly only Snowboard Riot is shown on the nintendo.co.uk WiiWare page, so even they know Beer Pong is crap -- why did they allow it to come over here then?!?

When releasing crap, put out all of it so it's over and done with.
We already commented on this before (shakes head).

@Raptop78: I agree about Snowboard Riot. After the initial reviews I was a bit put off but I downloaded it anyway.

I can sort of understand people complaining about the rubber-banding but if you've played Mario Kart Wii you'll be prepared for the sort of unfairness that can occasionally plague this game. I say occasionally because I only failed to come first on the first course once and came first in one go in the second course.

I'm sure that at any other time this would have been completely different but it's really not that tough.

I also agree about the lack of online players but I can also see game play being considerably more frustrating once some pillock learns how to abuse the system.

I've already seen it in Bomberman Blast where someone will add a couple of invited non-existing players to a game, kill themselves instantly and then use your unfortunate lack of maneuvering space to pretty much get an instant kill. If you kill his/her player they kill one of their 'invited' characters (in revenge form) and repeat.

I agree that this game is stupid, but why do they always have to dumb down games in america???

I was holding on to my remaining 1000 points for today's releases but it looks like I'll have to wait even longer for something to download.

S&S, Cave Story and Bit Trip may be worth waiting for though so my hopes for WiiWare are still intact despite the below mediocre releases.

Are there more changes than the name?

I'll probaly actualy download Snowboard Riot...

Lonpos got new DLC

Alright, more people to face in Snowboard Riot! Hope more people actually get this great game.

Can't wait to face the rest of the world!

Oh and might I add that this alleged issue of there being a "lack of online players" is not entirely true. I can almost always find someone to face in Battle. I have found people in Stoic before but BATTLE is where you'll find the most people. Going at the right time helps also. Peak times (for me in my time zone) are from 12:00 to 5:00. Even late at night, there's people to face. During the first week, yes, it was somewhat hard but now, I rarely have a problem of finding people.

@calculon: I played allthe other MKs and was expecting rubber banding.... just not like that.......

Anyway, I hope this launches itself onto the Top 3 in WWs chart. Why you ask?

For a good lolz, thats why

I was actually using sarcasm to be funny and brighten someones day with a good laugh.
Yeah, that was hilarious.

Dowloaded Snowboard Riot, but I'm steering clear of Pong Toss. I haven't had much chance to revel in Riot's different modes yet, but the controls are really good and it's a lot less frustrating than I found SSX Blur to be, with the emphasis taken away from performing tricks being a good move by Hudson in my opinion.
I'll be trying out the online modes later, but I can't see it lasting too long on my Wii Menu with only four different tracks We shall see though...

Oh - and yay! Up yours, World of Goo - WE GOT PONG TOSS NOW! Now I can find out what's been keeping all you American's on your Wii's since last Summer. </sarcasm>

Good to finally see SR, not so good to see Beer Pong. At least it's out of the way. I wonder if we'll ever get MLE.

Pretty disappointed, yeah.
I'm still waiting for Gyrostarr, maybe it's never coming..
Just have to get myself a Vectrex and go Web Warp

@Jiisuki
I might as well do the same. I don't want to have to start another rant on HVS ignoring PAL Regions.

Now all we need is Protothea and the best of the NA releases will be over here!

@Terranigma & Jiisuki. Why don't you just download a ROM and Tempest for free?

"I'm still waiting for Gyrostarr, maybe it's never coming.."

Gyrostarr is something you'll not want to download. Its very blan and repetitive with very little innovation. It is 4 player co-op but that doesn't increase the replay value.

"Get your balls wet."

Tell me I'm not the only one that finds that kind of wrong.

Now that I have my laptop back, I can say this more easily!

Stupid @ # ! % ( # ^ ) ^ @ ^ ¥ BEER TOSS!
hits game really hard
...should I have used my hammer or sword isntead?

Anyways, I think that this is due to the game finally dropping off US charts (probably to attempt the popularity contest there)?

Ferret75-san, you are not alone.

P.S. At least the way I use this, "@ # ! % ( # ^ ) ^ @ ^ ¥" is not meant to be a bad word, but a random angry rambling.
Also, I am roleplaying as the Dark Mister (from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King), since I have him as my avatar in the forums...

@Ferret75: I believe that that was the idea of the picture.
