Welcome to internet; either something is mindblowing or a huge disappointment. There are no in betweens.

Wonderful. So basically half the game is left out for DLC content.
Ugh.

Lost Winds is slated to be released during the NA Wiiware launch window, and World of Goo is to follow soon behind, so at least this is one of those cases where the wait actually benefits NA/PAL gamers.
MoogPaul said:
that game is the only exception but it is obviously just spat out for free from the production costs of a fully developed game. Is that the only way we are going to get quality on wiiware? It sounds like they've cut it down a lot and are going to charge for more content though. What is the game anyway, is it good - sure, the graphics look pretty?
Anyway, I'm sure there's going to be some good stuff coming in later months - it's just "meh" at the moment, sorry. (just my personal view after looking at the titles)
I am looking forward to see some of the stuff in the works, but ther service isn't getting any cash on me for a little while yet.

We also know that Bomberman Wii, Tetris Wii (shoddy port though it be), and Zuma/Magentica Wii will be out within the first few months.

FF:CC Impressions from IGN!
http://wii.ign.com/articles/861/861745p1.html
"On its own, the architecture skill isn't enough to build up your town. To actually use the skill, you need spirit power, which can only be found in the dungeons and caves surrounding your town. You don't actually go out into these dungeons, though, instead entrusting hired soldiers to do the dirty work. Hiring these soldiers and sending them out on quests takes cash, which you get through taxes collected from your residents. To get more residents, and thus more taxes for hiring soldiers, you need to build new homes and shops."
"As your soldiers are off fighting, you run around town interacting with your citizens and taking part in your building duties. Your big concerns with creating new structures is building up your town's population, keeping your townfolk happy and, keeping your adventurers well equipped. You start off with the ability to build nothing but houses, which takes care of your need for tax payer and adventurers. A bakery is added rather quickly to this, and seems to be used to keep your citizens happy One character whose house happened to be next to the bakery came up to our king and said how happy he was to be living next to a bakery."
"It may take up just 200 blocks of space, but Crystal Chronicles doesn't seem like a marginalized experience in any way. The simulation portion has kept us hooked for our couple hours of play time, signaling a good start for Nintendo's new downloadable games initiative."

Uh,
- No one likes horse armor
- Everyone likes Crackdown DLC, expansion packs, and free bonus features / gameplay updates.
If you can't see the difference between Id@lmaster DLC and Rock Band DLC, you're really missing out on some of the great content that DLC has brought to the table.

Some of the best games ever are very tiny , i dont see your point.
Stumpokapow said:
Before I start - obviously i didnt mean free DLC .. i meant pay for DLC..
And I see the difference. I think the problem is that although YOU can see the difference between what is worth it and what isn't, most people can't and will just buy anything for a game they like.
I think the more people that buy ANY type of downloadable content, the more publishers will hold back from the official release. You may think you are only supporting the stuff that is worth it but all a publisher sees is that people are willing to keep paying for stuff that used to be free.
Having said that I've taken this off topic since it's supposed to be about the Wiiware games.. sorry about that.

Wiiware fucking redeemed
jonezer4 said:Man I kept losing in Dr. Mario and couldn't understand why. Apparently you have to use "pay to play" to get blue pills. What a ripoff.
I kept losing online, and I couldn't understand why, until I realised that I suck. But the game is buckets full of awesome. Easily my favourite of the WW games so far.
I ranked in at near 800 on my new obsession, Star Soldier R 5 minute mode. Room for improvement there, as I doubt there are many more than 800 users right now. But at least I got on the board.
Haven't spent enough time with Little King yet, but I really like the atmosphere. Looking forward to spending some time with it tomorrow.

Interesting. Nintendo is not internally producing a single game for WiiWare yet.
Pokemon Ranch: Ambrella
Dr. Mario: Arika
Magnetica/Zuma: Mitchell
What the hell is Nintendo working on?
It's Magnetica, actually. Mitchell came up with Magentica. Popcap stole the idea, and made Zuma. But yeah, basically Zuma Wii.
Why do you say that? We don't know a single damn thing about it. Everything good we heard about it and all the screenshots is actually about Bomberman Wii. We don't know anything about Bomberman WiiWare.

Some one should buy some DLC from FF:CC and see if you can store it on a SD card and play it from there

But seriously, just register for NicoNico. You're missing out on a cascade of www's washing over what you're trying to watch.
marvelharvey said:
lol i doubt that. we're already got overshadowed by Final fantasy and Mario... but hopefully it would sell enough for us to survive or atleast open up more opportunity to make a game with better budget and quality. If you guys think our game is fun, thats more than enough for us to be happy. I dont mind being critized on my art because its part of me learning and getting better

Gotcha. I just wanted to make sure you hadn't been caught up in that initial confusion where people thought the Wii game was the WiiWare game.
