My local EB has the same deal: Basically, it's "suppose to be in", but it's still on the upcoming list, which means it may not have shipped at all.zigg said:

I've seen this sort of thing before; WEWY was a recent example. I could get it pretty much only at GS the first week, and big retail followed the next. That said, it wasn't delayed arriving at GS like BlastWorks is.
If it doesn't come in to GS this week, I'll move my credit to something else and just take advantage of Circuit City's $10 GC next week.
wow 1up gave it an A

Got it, finally, been waiting since early May! I've been playing the campaign mode about an hour or so.
Up until I was actually able to play this game, I'd played TUMIKI on and off on my PC, and I have decided never to do without an analog stick again. Beyond that, everything's a little smaller; more fits on the screen and it feels like I have a lot more freedom of movement than I did playing TUMIKI. This is a very good thing.
I've been playing with the Nunchuk, but you also have options for Classic Controller (which I tried a little; it works great, but you have to point at menus so it's a little inconvenient) and sideways Remote (which I don't intend to try; I want my 360° of motion.).
I'm a ways off from a verdict, but I've been having fun and am glad I picked it up. I've read up a bit on the editor and it has an insane number of options--provided it keeps people interested, there could well be some pretty neat things made with this thing down the road.

Mine shipped today, should be here in the next day or two from Amazon. Apparently there was some delay via Amazon, they sent an apology email.
Can't wait!

1up has been giving the Wii a lot of love lately. I think they're happy to see 3rd parties finally 'get it.'farnham said:

The game is great. Haven't mucked about with the editor yet, but I have downloaded some vehicles and enemies like the Enterprise and Donkey Kong.
Is someone going to design a Death Star trench run or will I have to do it? I'll far too busy designing subtle wang ships.

Ha, yeah, I'm starting out on Rookie too. I tried Pilot briefly in arcade and burned through my continues pretty quickly.
I appreciate that you can't just build up a hulking mass and be invulnerable, like it seemed you could do when I first played the TUMIKI-based build at E3.When I put it down last night I was working my way through the third campaign. One of the levels has some indestructible platforms that you can lose a ship crashing into, which adds a little variety.

I'm REALLY enjoying this game. Got it at Gamestop yesterday (there was a 1 day shipping delay). Everyone should get this game. This is a true game of the forever with all the downloadable content you can get off the website.

I'm gonna keep hype bumping this thread...no excuse why this game shouldn't sell. How does unlimited levels, weapons, ships, enemies, bosses sound?
Please, everyone, go out now and by this game, and go to the link above to check out just some of the content you can add to the game.

That's actually what's so great about Blast Works. Even if you don't have the time or the talent to create your own levels and content, you can always download tons of free content online, both from Nintendo and Blast Works Depot.
In the "Boom Blox sold only 60k" thread, everyone said if it was $40 or lower they'd buy that game....now you got this infinitely fun game with just as much endless (and more accessible due to WFC) gameplay and it's $40 yet this game gets less hype...tis shame.

That falls into the problem with people not liking shooter games
Personally, I am buying this game the second I clear some of my back-catalogue out (I hate having a huge BC, I seriously just get intimidated by it)
I don't like shooters I just want to create levels ^^ (They don't have the lame setup where you have to unlock everything? Unlocking ruins games IMO, you should play it for fun not to get stuff)

Oh yeah to give you guys the heads up Blast Works takes up 127 blocks.

To download something you have to make an account at the depot site and then just click on the download link of whatever you want. When you start up the game go to the download section and it will automatically grap anything you picked at the website.
To upload stuff just click the upload button from the editor.
You can also send/receive from friends on your Wii list.

What he said. Kind of a ghetto way to get DLC on Wii, but it works.

Double post? How'd that happen?

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
ok, my motto from now on: if everything else fails - try TRU. surprisingly (or not) they had blast works when i paid them a visit today. also, for the first time i saw stacked wiis and no lines of nervous customers waiting for the store to open. miracles.

Be on the lookout for the Uranus Probe.
EDIT- It has been uploaded, but has not shown up on the site yet. The design is decent, but the bullets suck. Any idea how to get a standard bullet pattern?

I hear ya man, should we have like an official Blast Works thread with box art, pictures, a site to Blast Works Depot, and all that good stuff?
MiketheBSG said:
Yes. People don't even seem to be paying attention to this game, an awesome OP would probably bring in a few glances. Like I said, I'd make it, but as I won't have it for a while yet, feels stupid
And Dookakke, your Anus Probe... er, I mean, your Uranus Probe is up. You kinky bastard

I got my copy at Target tonight, one of only 2 they had inside the glass case. I'm stoked to get around to this game when I can, but my Wii backlog is perhaps more massive than anybody on GAF.
I can't wait to see how much content overflows from the Depot in the coming weeks/months/years.

I think I beat you on the back catalog there, bro ;-) I have a notoriously big collection.
