cool but not for me personally. if you were waiting for it, then thats great for you.

Excellent news. I'm well into my PopCap 'Plants versus Zombies' now, and this looks like it'll complement it nicely.

@BassXO: don't you know you're meant to say 'FIRST'? You'll only upset people if you don't observe the correct etiquette...

it going to kick butt cant wait to play this!!

@Drake: terrific fun, aint it? Hope it gets the DS treatment like Peggle did. Love to be able to play it 'on-the-go'.

Anyway, don't want to detract from S&S...

I'm jealous of Europe. Because you guys get this and other great games while we get Penguin Party. But I'm glad you guys get to play it next week.

Looking forward to it.

Good to see someone else on NL bought Plants vs. Zombies, I bought it when it was released a few days ago and it's probably my favourite PopCap game yet.
I noticed you've been playing that quite a lot over the past few days!

As for SaS though, RTS isn't really my thing, but it's great that we finally have another big WiiWare title in our hands - it feels like ages ago since we last had one (even though, to be fair, we have just recieved Bit.Trip BEAT in Europe).

Plants vs. Zombies rocks! I hope this will as well.

Can't. Wait. I'm definatly saving my points for this!

Finally! Also, I like that Europe is getting more games before us now. It forces me to wait until after the review to decide if I want to buy it instead of impatiently going on impulse -- which is often a bad idea.

@Bass X0: Same here.

Yay Great news!!

@Adam
I totally agree with you. I'd probably get this without thinking so I'm glad I'm going to have to wait until after the review is up before I actually decide to download it. I just hope they don't take too long to release it in America if it gets a good score.

YEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!

.......for Europe. Europe sure has been lucky these past few weeks, and this tops it off. This is my most-anticipated WW title, and I can't wait!

And the best part is, Corbie isn't gonna review it, meaning that it'll get more than a 7/10! Huzzah

Man this game is slow to reach U.S.!

I switched my avatar back to good ol' Geno

The only bad part it seems is lack of online, but hey, it's WiiWare.

Europe lucky!?!

Yeah, except for flappin Excitebots which is the one damn game I wanna play right now

Ooh ooh I want this bad. Hope this hops across the pond soon. The lack of online sucks but if its half as good as it looks I'm gettin it anyway.

I can see us NA'ers are NOT GOING TO GET THIS on Monday. Instead we'll get something that we never heard about, and crappy.

There's been a real "turnabout" of releases in Europe Vs. NA. Good for you guys! Hope we get a good Monday though. Hey, does this perhaps mean that S&S will come out this following Monday with our 300th VC title? Now that'd be a killer week!

There's still quite a few titles that NA have that we should've had by now. The balance was tipped against Europe for a long long time. Having said that this weekly update schedule for Europe is brilliant and we can't complain about our updates recently! As for S&S it isn't my kind of game, but this looks like a potentially great game

Glad some of you are happy with this news; I too just bet S&S will come out around May18th or May 25th... maybe June if it takes too late!
But I've never been interested in the game; its a big huge turn off to me because of the lame graphics!

It looks fun, but why doesn't it support wifi?

i'm calling it right now it gets a perfect 10 rating

Pikamander2: there was simply no time to put WiFi in it. The sequel will have WiFi though And this game is perfect even without it. I'll give it 11/10

It's released in Europe first because it was created by Dutch people, which are Europeans.

Yay! Been wondering, when it would come. I do think people are a bit too fast to throw 10/10s at it though, we have no idea how it actually turned out.

PvZ is indeed awesome and I wonder if they could put it on WiiWare, after all it's point & click, runs at a fairly low resolution (800x600 though, not 640x480), takes about 25MB, costs 10€ and would fit the Wii's audience.

It's released in Europe first because it was created by Dutch people, which are Europeans.

That means nothing. I've seen European-made games appear first in the US quite often.

Aww... Now Europe has 3 games I want!

Aaa, too much WiiWare I need to get this year:

Swords & Soldiers
Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Contra ReBirth
Night Game
Cave Story

Oh, and you guys (NL editors) should try and check up on Dawn of Discovery, looks like a sweet retail RTS.

@Corbie: If it does, then I'm sure all of us here will laugh our asses off.

As for the avatar, I agree, it does fit me better (kind of like how everybody likes the mushroom on Daz better but doesn't admit it due to fear of being banned ).

Plus, I was tired of skipping my posts while scrolling down because I couldn't recognize my avatar

I can't wait to play Swords & Soldiers but I guess I'll just have to wait a wee bit longer for it! Also, it seems there are quite a few fans of Plants vs. Zombies on here! Any chance of that game ever coming to Nintendo in some form such as Wii, DS, WiiWare, or DSiWare perhaps?
@pixelman
I too have my eye on Dawn of Discovery! I saw it in the latest issue of Nintendo Power and it looks fun! I'm probably get the Wii version!

"as this certainly looks like one of the WiiWare games yet"
was this supposed to be "one of the best WiiWare games yet".
anyone this game looks great so I think I'm gonna buy it without waiting for the review for the second time

damn depressing news i really wanted the game to be out this weeks nintendo update but i guess i can wait another week

Wow, I got bored of Plants vs. Zombie in 52 minutes. The game was so slow and easy, I hope this is better.

PvZ gets faster and harder later on though the really hard parts are after the credits (minigames, survival modes)

Serious, Sword vs soldiers really rocks! the game look nice! me too i'm jealous XD

At Last!! I was wondering when will be avaiable in Europe!

I think PvZ may well be my GOTY so far =)

aaaaa Vikings

Huray! Finally!
