If you're looking for a pure puzzle game then Rotohex is probably your best bet. Aside from Tetris I can't think of a single puzzle game ever released that offers a more perfect realization of a simple, elegant concept.OMG Aero said:So I haven't really paid much attention to Wiiware outside of downloading Dr Mario when it first came out and the LostWinds series but I recently saw a video for a a game called Rubik's Puzzle Galaxy: Rush and it looks like a pretty cool game (In a Chu Chu Rocket kind of way) and I might get it.
If I buy 1000 wii points to get it though, I have 400 left. I can use the stars catalogue to boost that up to 600 so I can get another game so what 600/500 point game do you guys recommend?

As a warning for anyone that reads this, DO NOT get Rotohex if you're colorblind. You will not be able to do anything. It's horrible.nincompoop said:If you're looking for a pure puzzle game then Rotohex is probably your best bet.

Jokeropia said:Is it just me, or is No More Heroes nowhere to be found on the Nintendo Channel and thus not part of the Game-Play Records? I noticed it was missing from my list and figured the fact that I used the Freeloader to play the US version of the game (I'm in Europe) had something to do with it, but I looked at the daily records (in the Wii Message Board) from back when I played it and it's clearly listed for a total of about 20 hours spread out over a few weeks. I then tried to search for the game on the Nintendo Channel and came up empty. Anyone know?

Apenheul said:For three weeks I've had 1500 Wii points ready for the release of Super Mario Kart but now I have a vacation for two weeks and want a nice N64 game to play. I was thinking of Majora's Mask because I've never finished it on the N64 and the GC collectors disk crashed on me too many times. Does anyone know if the VC game is more stable or should I get Sin & Punishment instead?
-
According to the Nintendo Channel it took me 44 hours to finish Super Mario RPG, I don't remember the game being so long.
Nuclear Muffin said:The VC version of Majora's Mask is perfect (I have the GCN version, the VC version and the original NTSC N64 cartridge so I know of the issues that you are talking about. VC version is the best of them all by a country mile)
As for Majora's Mask VS Sin & Punishment, you're choosing between two fantastic games so you can't go wrong with either one!
Majora's Mask is my favourite game of all time, so naturally I would go with that one, but you won't be disappointed either way!

Apenheul said:Thanks, that's good to know! MM it is for now and if I finish it before the end of my vacation I'll get S&P too.
Well, Ogre Battle 64 and Milon's Secret Castle are also rated, maybe they're doing a mini-Hanabi Festival.Nuclear Muffin said:Looks like they've stopped doing Hanabi Festivals and have instead decided to just release imports alongside domestic releases (Since Boy & his Blob came out in PAL regions originally)
wackojackosnose said:No, the Nintendo Channel is definitely missing a few games. For me, it hasn't logged in Bully, Guilty Gear AC and Geometry Wars. Nintendo hates 3rd parties!?! Hmm...
I see. Are there different pages for different versions of games? Like for example Zelda TP or Mario Galaxy, is the playtime data I'm looking at in the European Nintendo Channel only for the European versions of these games and thus won't include time played by people outside of Europe? I suppose I could find out by checking the total stats and comparing to what they are in other regions.Somnid said:Europe doesn't have the page for the US version and so it can't associate that data with a game. You can try and see if they have a page for the European version, but obviously your stats will not count for that. It's the same reason you can't submit ratings for imported DS games. It's not counting the games you have but the games it is able to track.
gogojira said:Going into Majora's Mask, I'd offer just one bit of advice: don't let the time limit intimidate you. You'll get a song that slows down time and it eventually becomes a non-issue that merely adds to the atmosphere more than anything.
Stick through it til the end, it's an amazing game.

I really liked Reflect Missile, so I might be willing to give it a chance despite not being a huge fan of TD.
