Of course this happens while I can't check my friend code. I gifted that game to a friend a while ago and have been meaning to buy it for myself.

Who needs the Virtual Console when you can buy not one but TWO Sokoban games (that will undoubtedly be worse than the numerous free versions available for every system on the planet) this week on DSi!!!!

Ooo, Eduardo the Samurai Toaster freebie? I heard the game was okay, but the game apparently didn't sell well at all. :( At least they are trying to spread the game out to people. I hope what they produce in the future does better!

And I'm probably going to get Rage of the Gladiator this or next week. Zombies Panic apparently doesn't have many levels, so I'm not sure about it...

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
Hey we haven't got any WiiWare games for a month, quit complaining.

Just sent out a mass PM to all of you who have won copies so far. Be sure to add that friend code as it's what will enable us to gift you the game. Thanks from all three of us here at Semnat. You guys are great!

It's actually a pretty good meaty game in it's own right (longer than most retail games). It's nothing crazy though, but I'd consider it a bit above average.

It was one of the first "killer" iPhone OS games.

that's good enough for me. I must say, westerners are getting a whole lot better at anime style. the art style looks better than the art in that new icecream thread :lol

I would apply, but I already bought it. Eddy is a great little Wiiware game.

Were there ever any 'system selling' type of games to come out for DSiWare? I held off buying one and with the announcement of the 3DS I won't be upgrading, but I'm still curious.

Thanks Oli, it's comments like these that really make our day! Developing while working and going to school was challenging to say the least, but comments like these make it all worth it :)

Any sign of Cave Story in Europe yet?

Someone on a UK forum emailed nintendo and it seems Cave Story and Blaster Master won't be getting released anytime soon.

Dear Mr Smith,

Thank you for contacting us regarding your interest in our WiiWare channel. We regret that neither Blaster Master or Cave Story have been submitted to us for release in Europe.

We hope you find more titles that will appeal to you on the WiiWare channel, or try Blaster Master on the Virtual Console channel.

Sorry the answer isn't what you are looking for. If you have time please fill out our customer service questionnaire to help us improve our service to you.

Regards

A quick reminder to those of you receiving Eduardo. Although you can play by yourself the game was made with multi-player in mind. So grab some friends, turn friendly fire off, and throw each around :D

Sweet freebie deal on Ed the Samurai Toaster. Very underappreciated game, imo.

They give almost every download game they review a 6 or a 7.
Click to expand...

Well, not exactly. They've been brutal to some games, and rightfully so.

The problem arises when you get to the good-but-not-great titles. They have one 10/10 right now (World of Goo) and a smattering of 9s, but between the 8s and 7s, it is hard to see which to get. I'm sort of a proponent of no-score reviews for that very reason.

The score with the most usage is 7, though. Just over a fourth. Their higher-scored reviews (8,9,10) tend to be reliable. With 7, it is entering the choose at your discretion territory.
