Nintendo Download: Fantasies, Fishing, Warfare, Reversi and Sudoku (US)

Posted Mon, 29 Jun 2009 by Marcel Van Duyn

The world's only First Person Soaker!

The world's only First Person Soaker!

NoA's sudden WiiWare push continues, with yet another 3 WiiWare games and 1 game for both DSiWare and Virtual Console.

Nintendo seems to be focusing on WiiWare a lot lately. Perhaps they're just trying to stir up excitement for upcoming big releases? It mostly seems to be a Europe catchup week - Only two WiiWare games are new for the west and neither seems very interesting.

Water Warfare is Hudson's second WiiWare FPS, and it's pretty much the opposite of Onslaught, being heavily focused on multiplayer instead of single player. With 8-player deathmatch, capture the flag and base capture modes, along with "harmless" versions of weapons and items found in other FPS games, it's every bit as fun and deep as "hardcore" games - It's just less violent! We literally just put our review of the game online as well, so you can see if it's worth it before the game is released. As in Europe, it will cost you 800 Wii Points.

We didn't even know Reel Fishing Challenge was a WiiWare game until today! It's already the third WiiWare game about fishing, but only the second that actually makes you fish. We suspect that this will simply be a slightly more realistic approach to the sport as opposed to Cocoto Fishing Master's cutesy impression, but we'll have to wait and see when it's available. Perhaps it will be similar to Natsume's retail Reel Fishing game? For 500 Wii Points we assume you can't go too wrong with it...

Silver Star Reversi is the second "Silver Star" game, and is, as you might've guessed from the title, based on the board game Reversi. The first game, Chess, was fairly simplistic, but decent if you wanted a cheap chess game on your Wii - We suspect this will end up similarly, especially since it's 500 Wii Points as well.

DSiWare's single new game this week is the first of Hudson's two Sudoku packages, Sudoku Master, previously released in Europe as "Sudoku 150! For Challengers." We have no idea why Hudson has chosen to release this 150-puzzle version in North America first as well, surely it'd be smarter to release the smaller 50-puzzle package first? Nevertheless, as our review will tell you, it's quite a good package if you like solving Sudokus, and at 500 DSi Points it's decently priced as well.

The Virtual Console gets a long-overdue game - Fantasy Zone II was already released in Europe and Japan earlier this year. As you can imagine this is quite simply a bigger, better sequel to the original Fantasy Zone, making it one of the best Master System titles available on VC, and thus a great purchase for a measly 500 points.

Five new games, but some of them will likely only appeal to select gamers. Will you be getting any of them? More from Nintendo's press release:

NINTENDO DOWNLOAD - IT'S NO REEL FANTASY: WATER, SUDOKU AND SILVER STARS CAN BOOST YOUR SKILLS

100th WiiWare game next week....What will it be?

Angelic Lapras King

7. Angelic Lapras King United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 14:07 BST

By Fantasies, I thought you guys meant Final Fantasy. T.T

chunky_droid

8. chunky_droid Australia 29 Jun 2009, 14:07 BST

Personally not interested in any of these games this week. Just have to download something else I haven't been able to yet! :)

100th WiiWare game, I had no idea! Fingers crossed for something big like Pokemon Scramble or Super Meat Boy, though the latter I think we'd have heard something about its release by now.

@Angelic Lapras King - When I read that at Nintendo's press site I thought so too. But alas I didn't like Fantasy Zone all that much.

Nothing to see here, move on.

Hyper Luigi

10. Hyper Luigi United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:09 BST

SuperSonic1990 is PISSED OFF in this following message:
Except for Fantasy Zone II,all these games are crap [except possibly Water Warfare too]. This is the case of quanity over quality. I was excpeting Super Smash Bros.,or Altered Beast,or Super Mario Kart.
But no,WE GET THESE GAMES INSTEAD!!!! WHY!?
Increase the number of VC games released every week NOA,FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! If this hype for future WiiWare games,I hate to think what they are. Perhaps,Pong Toss II. I might buy Fantasy Zone II and MAYBE Water Warfare,but THIS UPDATE IS HORRIBLE!!!

joeshabadoo

11. joeshabadoo United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:10 BST

It's gonna be BIT TRIP Core, WiiGuy. We knew that already. Other Wiiware could come out as well.
Nothing for me this week, but I like this triple wiiware trend. Filter the more shovelware type stuff out quickly. I'm sure NoA is seeing more and more wiiware developers giving them software to certify. Everyone want's a piece of the pie

Olimar_91

12. Olimar_91 United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:10 BST

Not a bad week. I'm still pleased that we're getting so many Wiiware games each week, gives you some variety to chose from.

If only the VC would pickup.

DSiware at its current rate makes sense, as I doubt there is a huge line-up of games on the waiting list as it stands.

Tony

13. Tony United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:10 BST

I just got another Wii Points card, so I will hold out for Altered Beast and Pop Plus Solo. I would not be surprised if Smash Bros. shows up next week.

Hyper Luigi

14. Hyper Luigi United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:11 BST

Yes,at least we will get Bit Trip Core next week for free.

WarioFan63

15. WarioFan63 United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:12 BST

Super Meat Boy, though the latter I think we'd have heard something about its release by now.

Don't expect Super Meat Boy for a long while. Upcoming Games List from E3 said it was coming Early 2010.

Terranigma

16. Terranigma United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 14:12 BST

"we will get Bit Trip Core next week for free"
For free? Are you sure?

How will we get Bit Tip Core for free? Did I miss an article?

No it's not going to be free!!! :-p

once again, america has to wait for smash bros :( although i'm from europe but i'm just saying its still not there yet. oh well. probably either july or august. ;)

KDR_11k

20. KDR_11k Germany 29 Jun 2009, 14:19 BST

100th WiiWare has been announced to be Bit Trip Core, didn't you pay attention?

KnucklesSonic8

21. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 29 Jun 2009, 14:21 BST

Great week. Three WiiWare titles once again and this has me hopeful for a potentially-epic update next week.

Anyone getting Reel Fishing Challenge? I'll be looking for impressions later on tonight. :)

I was expecting something a little better for VC but it's not bad. I just don't think I'll get it since I have Super Fantasy Zone.

WarioFan63

22. WarioFan63 United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:22 BST

But Super Fantasy Zone doesn't have Warps!

Hyper Luigi

23. Hyper Luigi United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:22 BST

DANG IT,but why did it said it was free on the Nintendo Channel!? This sucks!!

postmanX3

24. postmanX3 United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:24 BST

The 100th WiiWare game should be Cave Story, but since it's already Bit.Trip.Core, I guess that hope's shot. Oh well.

Pretty crap update this week. We haven't really gotten anything worth downloading in FOREVER. Honestly, I haven't downloaded anything for months! Water Warfare will probably be my first download in a while, and I might check out Onslaught while I'm at it. Dunno about that, though.

KnucklesSonic8

25. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 29 Jun 2009, 14:25 BST

Dunno where you got that info from... And boy were your expectations ever high for this update...

@postman: I wouldn't be surprised at all if Cave Story popped up next week or the week after!

Hyper Luigi

26. Hyper Luigi United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:28 BST

@KnucklesSonic8-Actually,Tails86 told me that info,he said that he thought something big will be released today. Yeah,right. At least he was right about the Sudoku game being released today.

KnucklesSonic8

27. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 29 Jun 2009, 14:30 BST

You should know by now that NoA is unpredictable with VC releases. The Sudoku game was confirmed a week ago.

Just be patient. Let's hope SSB64 comes out next month but I can't say for sure as to when it'll release. I'm just making a prediction. I'm not ready to give up just yet. It'll come when you least expect it, lol. Would be nice if they had it alongside Bit.Trip CORE next week though.

marktheshark

28. marktheshark United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:32 BST

Looks like the VC is in the midst of a dry season. Fantasy Zone II looks pretty cool though.

Rapadash6

29. Rapadash6 United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:43 BST

Well, I can't really agree with those of you who say this is a bad update because Water Warfare and Fantasy Zone II are pretty good games. I'm disappointed there's no Smash (or Cave Story) in North America yet as well, but that doesn't mean these games aren't worth your time. Besides there's always next week.

Cheezy

30. Cheezy United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:50 BST

I'm a little dissapointed. Pretty weak if you ask me. No big games this week. I'll download the Sudoku game because it got an 8, but I'm still a bit skeptical about it.

Mike

31. Mike United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:51 BST

I'm already figuring that SSB won't be out next week either since Nintendo will not want to overshadow the 100th Wiiware game. Hopefully the 100th game with be Icarian or Contra Rebirth, and then after the 100th game is released, maybe Nintendo will scale back the WiiWare releases and start giving us more than 1 VC game a week. Not a bad update, but still nothing for me.

Aquateen510

32. Aquateen510 United States 29 Jun 2009, 14:53 BST

DAMNIT NINTENDO STOP UPLOADING VC GAMES THAT WE DON'T WANT! >:(

KnucklesSonic8

33. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 29 Jun 2009, 14:58 BST

Uhhh... who's "we", exactly? >_>
Anyway, let's hope this new trend of 3 WiiWare titles continues but let's also hope a trend of 2 VC Games per update comes up. I think they're not thinking hard enough as far as what to release and they know that SSB64 is an option but clearly they're saving it for the right time.

34. TheEmulationZones Belgium 29 Jun 2009, 15:09 BST

... More Sudoku ... Waiting For MFC!

redflicky

35. redflicky United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 15:13 BST

@32: yeah i agree =(

Starwolf_UK

36. Starwolf_UK United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 15:30 BST

I wonder if WiiWare will scale back after game#100. Shame I'll have to wait 3 weeks to find out due to going on holiday. Hard to believe we're nearly at 100. I remember the early days of Reggie bragging there were a whole 50 titles in development.

Anyway, what do people think WiiWare#99 will be? I'm going to say NyxQuest (though the ESRB still calls it Icarian) though I think Bust a Move is a possibility. Why? Both those games it seems most WiiWare rated about the same time as them is out now.

Still, knowing Nintendo it'll be something nobody expected and more importantly...wanted

KnucklesSonic8

37. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 29 Jun 2009, 15:42 BST

I'm predicting NyxQuest, Puzzle Bobble or Bit Boy.

LEGEND MARIOID

38. LEGEND MARIOID United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 15:43 BST

Water Warfare is a good update and I suppose Fantasy Zone 2 is a decent VC game. I have Sudoku Master/150 which is ok. Besides that not good update

KDR_11k

39. KDR_11k Germany 29 Jun 2009, 15:48 BST

I doubt they're going to release more than 4 games a week since the recommended games list on the front page can only hold 4 games.

Hyper Luigi

40. Hyper Luigi United States 29 Jun 2009, 15:52 BST

@KDR_11k-They can always update the front page to where there are more then 4 games,so that's a moot point.

Hyper Luigi

41. Hyper Luigi United States 29 Jun 2009, 15:58 BST

@Aquateen510-That's the spirit!

47. WhoKnew United States 29 Jun 2009, 16:26 BST

@31: 100th wiiware confirmed already. Its bit trip core. Hopefully it will be more than one game.

Water Warfare seems cool and its priced good. It might download it later when I get the cash.

I doubt they're going to release more than 4 games a week since the recommended games list on the front page can only hold 4 games.

Uh no...The Reccomended Game list on the Front Page doesnt even always list EVERYTHING that came out that Monday so it doesn't really matter.

100th wiiware confirmed already. Its bit trip core. Hopefully it will be more than one game.

Well yeah there has to be. We're at 98.

StarFox

50. StarFox United States 29 Jun 2009, 16:48 BST

The "First Person Soaker" sounds fun, lol. Unfortunately, I usually don't buy a WiiWare game unless I can get a VC game to go along with it.

Twilight Crow

51. Twilight Crow Mexico 29 Jun 2009, 16:50 BST

Well, I WANT Fantasy Zone ll, and I don't care what Aquateen510 said, I've been waiting like forever for it and I'm very pleased with Nintendo finally uploading it, thank you Nintendo!!! :)

Today Wiiware is really meh, even Water Warefare doesn't seem to be deep enough, but I may give it a shot in the future.

Awesome5

52. Awesome5 United States 29 Jun 2009, 16:53 BST

I might get water warfare, but right now I'm saving for Wii Sports Resort and an extra Motion+.

Clayfrd

53. Clayfrd United States 29 Jun 2009, 17:13 BST

Hmm. Looks like a decent week. Nothing in recent memory has really had me interested except for maybe Boxlife.

StarFox

54. StarFox United States 29 Jun 2009, 17:17 BST

@Awesome5: I'm definitely waiting for WiiMotion+. I hope to get WSR along with Donkey Kong NPC and WarioLand Shake It.

Jolted85

55. Jolted85 United States 29 Jun 2009, 17:23 BST

must. get. Water Warfare nao!

Good update for the WiiWare, I'm sure others will complain about our VC release, we needed to catch up anyway.

pixelman

56. pixelman United States 29 Jun 2009, 17:31 BST

I'm getting Water Warfare. The rest weren't too bad, at least Fantasy Zone is out of the way.

beastman93

57. beastman93 United States 29 Jun 2009, 18:12 BST

God dammit! :(
Still not getting any of these even though Fantasy Zone II is decent. :(

WolfRamHeart

58. WolfRamHeart United States 29 Jun 2009, 18:29 BST

I'm going to just pretend that all we got today was Water Warfare and Fantasy Zone II and call it a decent update. The other stuff we got is not worth mentioning. Bring on Bit. Trip Core next week!:)

Starwolf_UK

59. Starwolf_UK United Kingdom 29 Jun 2009, 18:33 BST

@WarioFan63 Uh no...The Reccomended Game list on the Front Page doesnt even always list EVERYTHING that came out that Monday so it doesn't really matter.
Here in Europe from what I remember one spot is always held by the internet channel and the other World of Goo. That might have changed recently. What I'm saying is in some regions Nintendo doesn't use the full front page anyway so the front page isn't nesicarily what is holding back releases.

Darknyht

60. Darknyht United States 29 Jun 2009, 18:33 BST

Since I seem to play the DS more often these days, I wish they would get over this puzzle kick they seem to be on. Puzzles are fun, but there are other genres that need some DSiware love.

KDR_11k

61. KDR_11k Germany 29 Jun 2009, 18:47 BST

Well, here in Germany the recommended games list is pretty much the list of new releases.

Objection_Blaster

62. Objection_Blaster United States 29 Jun 2009, 18:49 BST

Rather decent week but nothing for me, at least right away. Hope we get Icarian/Nyx next week with Bit Trip.

Atlantis1982

63. Atlantis1982 United States 29 Jun 2009, 18:56 BST

I would get Water Warfare, but I have a bad feeling it won't be a popular game that people are going to get which is a crying shame. With that, I might not bother if there is hardly anyone here going to get it since its main target niche is the online multi-player.

i_am_error

64. i_am_error Canada 29 Jun 2009, 19:04 BST

Curious about Reel Fishing Challenge since it's only 500pts. I'm pretty sure it doesn't support 16:9 display though.

Sabrewing

65. Sabrewing United States 29 Jun 2009, 19:15 BST

For whoever buys the disc-based Reel Fishing game, the WiiWare game "locks into" it to open up a few more arenas.

66. SSBFan 12 United States 29 Jun 2009, 19:19 BST

same here i'm tempted to buy it so i think i'll but it sorry Sonic

68. Hyper Luigi United States 29 Jun 2009, 19:39 BST

No biggie Tails86. I'm mad at Nintendo rather. Oh,I did buy Water Warfare and Fantasy Zone II.

Ricardo91

69. Ricardo91 United States 29 Jun 2009, 19:49 BST

Maybe I'll get Water Warfare sometime down the line, but otherwise this is yet another week of no downloads from me.
It looks like the miserable days of summer are coming in again. :(

KDR_11k

70. KDR_11k Germany 29 Jun 2009, 20:01 BST

I would get Water Warfare, but I have a bad feeling it won't be a popular game that people are going to get which is a crying shame. With that, I might not bother if there is hardly anyone here going to get it since its main target niche is the online multi-player.

It's already in the list of most popular games here, #8 currently. It's not just for online gamers, it also has local multiplayer.

71. Stuffgamer1 United States 29 Jun 2009, 20:55 BST

Only a few months after Eat Lead jokingly introduces the concept of a water gun FPS, somebody actually goes and makes one. It's a CRAAAAAZY world... I might give it a shot, though, if enough of my favorite NLife friends download it. :)

My Shop Channel intro page always recommends Super Mario Bros. 3, World of Goo, and two new releases. As such, I ignore that page, because it's absolutely useless to me.

Today's VC is uninteresting to me, but since Twilight Crow was looking forward to it for so long, I'm happy for her. :)

72. deadly.by.design United States 29 Jun 2009, 21:08 BST

So, still no Cave Story. Gotcha.

Miyabi273

73. Miyabi273 United States 29 Jun 2009, 21:17 BST

I would also have to agree it is a decent week. I am really tempted to buy Water Warfare the only online shooter I've played is 007 Nightfire for the PC XD. Anyway I have a few things I have to buy first. I think I am going to play SSB on the 64 tonight though because having the cartridge means no waiting XP. I just hope some day in the future I don't know when we get Metal Warriors.

Tony

74. Tony United States 29 Jun 2009, 21:18 BST

The Fantasy Zone games are good, but start with Super Fantasy Zone.It's the best of the bunch.

WarioFan63

75. WarioFan63 United States 29 Jun 2009, 22:01 BST

Man, sometimes I wish Cave Story was never announced, then some people wouldn't immediately shun every WiiWare game that wasn't Cave Story.

76. Miyabi273 United States 29 Jun 2009, 22:31 BST

@WarioFan63 - You and me both.

77. slapshot82 United States 30 Jun 2009, 00:14 BST

I was hoping for Asphalt to release but oh well....Fantasy Zone 2 is a great shooter but already have it. Oh well no buying for me again this week.

78. AquaDan88 United States 30 Jun 2009, 00:16 BST

Just downloaded Water Warfare! :-)

79. WhoKnew United States 30 Jun 2009, 00:17 BST

@75: Tell me about it. That game looks good and I will DL it, but it is overhyped IMO.

Kevin

80. Kevin United States 30 Jun 2009, 01:17 BST

Again nothing this week. Release Final Fantasy already.

abe8812

81. abe8812 United States 30 Jun 2009, 01:47 BST

I hope there's one good game next week so that I can buy a points card and download it along with the 3 FFIV: After Years stories that will be available next week and Rydia's Tale(which I have not download yet).

KnucklesSonic8

82. KnucklesSonic8 Canada 30 Jun 2009, 02:34 BST

So, anyone get Reel Fishing Challenge?

Twilight Crow

83. Twilight Crow Mexico 30 Jun 2009, 02:46 BST

@Stuffgamer1
Thanks :), I read about it and I made some research, man, those videos made me want that game badly, it's so colorful for a SMS game, and I also liked the music, it just appealed to me a lot, I've been hoping we'll get it since last september, and is finally here :); next week I'll be getting some wiipoints for it, Bit.Trip Core, and Cave Story (It has to come out on july for crying out loud).

Virtual Console week is meh, but not that bad. It's better then what we were seeing five weeks ago! So is DSiWare. WiiWare on the other hand has the potential to be good, especially since Water Warfare sounds like fun with online mutiplayer!

This Week is ok if you wanted any of these games.But i'll stick to Clay Fighter until Super Smash Bros or Super Mario Kart comes out on the VC.

I can wait for SSB or SMK for another 2 or 3 months.I won't need a Nintendo Points Card until then.

I bought Water Warfare. It's great! One of the best WiiWare games you can get. The online is fun. Why don't publishers make good online games for retail if they can do this on a budget for WiiWare. Not to mention onslaught. Because nobody buys them! Buy Water Warfare, buy Onslaught, and for god sakes BUY CONDUIT!

I am seriously addicted to Water Warfare. I don't wanna go to sleep. XD

@80. Kevin
Just buy Final Fantasy for GBA already.
Better yet, just shush up about Final Fantasy. It'll get here when Square-Enix feels like it.

Hey, Mickeymac! I don't think I've seen you around in a while. Am I oblivious, or were you actually not posting? Either way, nice to see you now. :)
And about your question, it wasn't on there. Fantasy Zone and Super Fantasy Zone were, but not Fantasy Zone 2.

I have a quick question about Water Warfare:

Is the online pretty populated? How many players per match do you average if you just play worldwide matches? What modes are most playing? I am interested in this but I'm not sure if I'm gonna get it yet because I want to have a fun online shooter (or in this case "soaker") for the Wii. I'm on the fence about it...but if online is populated enough I'll probably pick it up ;D

I have another Water Warfare question, actually, although I expect the answer is "no."
Does it have WiiSpeak support? I doubt I'll bother with it if it doesn't, because I am systematically adverse to online multiplayer in which you cannot converse with opponents and/or teammates.

You can select some predetermined phrases and bind them to the d-pad but that's it.

mediocre(sp?) update.
Not a big fan of the Fantasy Zone series.
I'll be waiting for the Water Warfare review.

That's what I figured. Not interested, then.

@donth8theplaya69: The Water Warfare review is already up, y'know. The game released in Europe last week, so the review was ready just in time for the North American release.

Got back from church camp 30 minutes ago. So I had no idea what came to the VC while I was gone. I had a dream Monday night that Super Smash Bros came to the VC. You could pick between the US version and the Japanese version. Much to my suprise when I checked the shop channel, I said "Wow. This is the game they gave us while I was gone?"
