Japanese gamers are finally getting the Art Style WiiWare titles

Nintendo's unique Art Style WiiWare titles have already been available in North American and Europe for some time now, but Japanese gamers have been left out in the cold.

That's all about the change with the announcement that Nintendo is finally bringing its three Art Style titles to the Japanese WiiWare service on May 12th for 600 Nintendo Points each. It's a bit odd that Japan is the last region to get these Art Style titles since developer Skip is actually based in Tokyo. At least Japanese gamers will finally get to enjoy the Art Style WiiWare titles we've all been enjoying for some time now.

The only one they'll finally be able to enjoy is Cubello (Or Cubeleo as it'll be called in Japan), they've had Orbital and Dialhex on the GBA since 2006 :p

Try as I might, I just can't feel bad for Japan on this one. It is weird though.

Oh yay big whoop. I'm sure they were just DYING for these games. And we're over here without Mother 3 and Taiko no Tatsujin.

While i'd like for them to enjoy in experiencing this great series, I do find it a bit unfair that now they will soon have some of the games in the bitGenerations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_Generations) games in 2 capacities, while we are lacking several that I would really love to buy.

Its not fair Japan had to wait 6 months for these, they get everything we have and more and we get so screwed in America waiting more than 5 minutes for anything.

Am I doing that right?

The Japenese are getting these games too? BOO! They don't deserve these games! They have too many exclusive games already!

@Starwolf_UK: try 2 years or not at all, as most of us actual Americans have already said.

And yes, I remember that PAL had to wait an additional 2 months for this and most games.
