As long as it's not as much of a disaster as Plattchen, I guess?

 

[Scrubking]

Has anyone played Boingz?

 

[Provider]

I played the first few levels. It makes you think a little and the controls are OK. It's completely generic on the graphics side tho.

There's a trailer now.

More info from the Bplus forums:

There is the CLASSIC MODE where you have to beat a whole World (10 Stages) to get access to the next one. After you have beaten the World you can select each stage seperately to hunt for Medals (Best Time).

Niki - Rock 'n' Ball is not as huge as PLÄTTCHEN - twist 'n'paint is. It needs just 129 BLOCKS (+2 for savegame). PLÄTTCHEN needs 286 BLOCKS for its 300 Levels and great amount of FantasyWorlds and game modes.

There is also a 2-Player CoOp-Mode exactly like you may know it from classic games like BubbleBobble, MarioBros. or SnowBros. . This may also help you to beat the time to get a medal in a stage.

EU WiiWare update:

-Art Style: ROTOHEX
-Bang!
-Pit Crew Panic!
-Strong Bad Episode 4: Dangeresque 3

 

[Sindou_Hikaru20]

Pit Crew Panic only 500 Points in Europe it seems

 

[TJ Spyke]

Space Invaders Gets Even looks interesting, but way too short at just 2 levels and a boss battle. It's only 500 Wii Points, but still.

Only consider Get Even if you're willing to spend 500+ Wii Points on DLC. The initial two levels and boss are super simple and easy compared to the rest of the game.

Fun! Fun! Minigolf first trailer:

Impressive. Not my genre, but Shin'en sure is a capable developer. Can't wait for their action adventure.

I was visiting WiiWare-World just a bit ago and they had a few interviews with developers. One interesting (worrying?) tidbit I came across occurred during an interview with High Voltage Software. (http://www.wiiware-world.com/news/2008/12/yukes_high_voltage_interview_evasive_space)

WW: We’ve heard rumors that HVS’s Animales de la Muerte may no longer be bound for WiiWare. Is there any truth to this?

KH: Animales de la Muerte has been a pet-project for us at High Voltage Software for quite a while. Its current status is probably the most asked question we get. While I can’t quite reveal what we’re currently doing with the title, please know that we highly cherish the IP and are still considering how to best release it down the road.

That sounds odd. If the game were still WiiWare, you think there'd be a slightly different answer than that. I mean, it doesn't really say anything, but...

I read in another interview somewhere that they were having trouble fitting the game into the WiiWare file size restriction. They made a bunch of real-time in-game engine cutscenes that they are very fond of and that didn't quite fit.

My guess is a low priced Wii disc release. I'll buy it in whatever form it comes in.

Hmm. Or pull a Space Invaders: Get Even, and split the game into segments.

Then again, that resulted in my only buying the initial chapter of SI:GE, and not bothering with the additional content due to my first purchase feeling like a complete rip-off.

Another random WiiWare game has appeared. From the ESRB:

Eduardo the Samurai Toaster Semnat Studios, LLC Everyone Mild Cartoon Violence Wii

This is a side-scrolling action game in which players control a cartoon toaster as it traverses through colorful environments. Environments are filled with whimsical enemies such as aggressive fruit and vegetable creatures. Players can shoot pastries at enemies and must avoid getting hit by projectiles (e.g., bamboo spears, "durians," and wooden poles) to advance.

GOTY

 

[Davey Cakes]

A game where you play as a toaster and shoot pastries at enemies?

Nice.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

My kids opened their Wii this morning and I just got done setting it up with wireless internet. Just wondering, what VC and WiiWare titles are considered to be the best of the best? Just lookig for a heads up on what I should download. Probably not VC so much.

Although, on the Neo-Geo list I see Baseball Stars 2. Is this that game where the players are cartoons and some of them are huge steroid looking fools with huge metal bats? If so I guess I found my first download.

Eduardo the Samurai Toaster officially announced! With new screens and details!

Indie developer Semnat Studios is excited to finally announce the upcoming Wii™ release of Eduardo the Samurai Toaster, an incredibly fast and frenetic sidescrolling, run‘n’gun 2D shooter. The game will be released exclusively for WiiWare™ this winter, developed and published by Semnat Studios.

With visuals drawn and scanned in from several different art mediums such as pen & ink, acrylic paint and charcoal, Eduardo sports an untraditional aesthetic design for a videogame. Jump, shoot, whip, drive, fly and throw your way through hordes of Peking Opera pastries, spear toting carrots, robotic mangos, and more. Play with friends as you learn to cooperate effectively, or be annoying by throwing each other around the screen and attacking one another.

FEATURES

* Drop in co-op play for up to four players.
* Ride scooters equipped with laser-blasters and fly around in rocket packs in single player or co-op.
* Use 5 different pastry pickups to upgrade your firepower.
* Battle enemies through 13 unique levels.
* Several different difficulty options to choose from, allowing players to pick their desired level of challenge.

Eduardo the Samurai Toaster has been Rated E for everyone by the ESRB.

I actually thought this would be 5-6 ish despite my IGN fanboyism. I'm pleasantly surprised, hope the other reviews hold up.

 

[besiktas1]

Havent followed/bought anything from Wiiware in ages. Anything worth getting?

Last thing I got was world of goo.

 

[PantherLotus]

I recommend to those looking for a fantastic Wiiware title to give 'NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits' a download. The game is fantastic and really worth the asking price.

If you like Lostwinds I think you will love this too. I'd give the edge to NyxQuest personally as it's a really well designed game with good physics and very accurate and responsive controls. A real gem of a game.

 

[Jeels]

Alright Gaf, recommend me some WiiWare Games. The last WiiWare Games I bought were at WiiWare's launch (My life as a King and that Popsicle Stick War Flash Game One..) and never came back since, so I've missed a lot.

lost winds 1 and 2 are both wonderful comfort food kinda games. they use gameplay ideas that you are very familiar with, but they pull it off well and do them in their own entertaining way. they have smart use of the control scheme, breezy but satisfying puzzles, lots of good platforming, neat sense of adventure, charming characters and visuals, plus they are paced so they never overstay their welcome. i'm pretty enamored with both of them, and i recommend them highly.

 

[Like the hat?]

lost winds 2
