Just downloaded the Space Invaders DLC, and I must say that this was totally worth it. Basically, each of the 3 additional packs (500 points each) add 2 missions, which are comprised each of 2 levels + one boss. This means including the starter pack (2 levels + 1 boss, for 500 points), you end up with 14 levels + 7 bosses, effectively multiplying the game volume by around 7 for 4 times the price of the starter pack in the end...
Oh, and did I mention the additional ships ? There are 3 of them, and besides the "Classic" ship, these aren't simple reskins. In fact, the R-Gray1 and the SilverHawk both allow you too play the game like an old-school shooter. The R-Gray1 attacks with beams and homing missiles, while the SilverHawk send energy waves and drops bombs on the enemies below. These spaceships actually kick so much ass, that your score isn't saved when you play with them, though you can still progress in the game and unlock levels with them.
To be honest, after getting the additional packs, I just don't think it's worth it to pay to get only the starter pack (which feels pretty much like a demo) if you don't intend to get the rest of the game through the additional packs. The game ends up relatively pricey (compared to the other Wiiware games), and heavy, but I thought it was worth the price, as the game feels pretty complete and is just really damn fun.

More of the crap Kemco's doing? Even if they were 2D I don't see how it'd work on a WiiWare budget.
I don't know what you are talking about. Are you saying that a full 2D RPG can't be made on Wiiware?
You do realize that Wiiware has full featured games like Megaman 9, My life as a king, World of goo, Cave Story, etc.

Got Orbient, it's pretty cool. Played to stage 15 earlier today and when resuming now I just noticed that if you finish the stage with a moon it gets yellow colored instead of blue.
My OCD got tickled and now I'm replaying the ones where I didn't get the moon because of that. :lol

Getting all the moons is needed to unlock stuff too. I haven't bothered with it because some of the moons are really annoying to collect.
I cleared the main mode in Roto Hex and unlocked a "Sprint" mode, which is hard as fuck.

Just beat the final boss and every mission in Space Invaders G. E. and yeah, the game was pretty awesome. The fact is that I'm usually not a shoot-em up fan at all, but this one was just so damn fun (and seriously hardcore at times too), I don't regret getting it one bit. Anyway, now to replay the entire game with the R-Gray1, just for the lulz

Oh, by the way, the Wiiware World review, which summarizes all that pretty well :

I bought it (after having to clean out my fridge for the first time). I never played the original so can't comment on that, but have played Williams PHOF to death and loved Pinball Fantasies/Illusions/Dreams. Alien crush does a pretty good job as a pinball game, kinda wish there were more tables and better indicators of how to increase your score, but overall it is a competent pinball game with a unique twist. The boss fights are really cool and the ball action specials work well as does the motion control.Scrubking said:

Brain Challenge is actually pretty good if you like that sort of "game". It's much better than the DS version.Fuu said:
I'm also still enjoying Tetris. The shadow mode is interesting, but the climbing (or whatever it's called) mode is very fun.
I noticed that the aquarium "game" is still getting a lot of purchases. It is much of a game or worth just watching as a screen saver. I ask because I'm gonna have 800 points left on the Wii I'm giving my in-laws and am not sure what else to get them.
Orbient is nice but since it can be very slow paced at times I felt it wasn't what I was looking for at the moment. Will play it more in the future.
Then I got Cubello and it's exactly what the doctor ordered. So fun and stylish.
Still thinking if I should get Tetris Party later.

Shit I can play with my wife:
1. Bejeweled
2. Who wants to be a millionaire?
3. Trivia/Party Games
Easy, Hardcore, Awesomeness:
1. Aerobiz
2. Any simple -Tycoon style games. There's a game out in Japan right now where you run a clothing store and pick out outfits for people. You get money from sales and charm. I want games like this. Simple, addictive, fun.
3. Tower Defense games. C'mon devs.
Not sure if it's been posted already but LostWinds is finally going to be released in Japan in December and it's being published there by Square Enix.

TV Show King Party... it's a retail "sequel" to the WiiWare TV Show King trivia game. I saw it at a local Gamestop recently (for $30) and I was a bit surprised, as it looked like it was identical to the Wii Ware release.

I would love to see the original Donkey Kong arcade game on WiiWare. The NES version is a pale imitation of the arcade game. Also an updated take on DK arcade, ala Pac-Man CE and Space Invaders Extreme, would be cool.jetpacks was yes said:
