About Me
Prononciation
njsykora is pronounced like this.

Yeah it would be easier if it were spelt njsikora but it doesn't look as cool does it?

European WiiWare Launch Line-Up Is Better Than Yours
njsykora | 6:31 AM on 05.13.2008 21 comments


We have 8 games over your 6, we're not getting Defend Your Castle or VIP Blackjack but we are getting awesome.

Is it just me or does Nintendo really love us Europeans when it comes to downloads?

Our launch line-up will have TV Show King, My Life As A King, Pop and the game that seems to be justifying Wii purchases all over Destructoid, LostWinds at the same prices as the US, but the 4 extra games are:

Dr. Mario and Germ Buster (1,000)
Hell yes, we get Dr Mario!

Pirates: The Key of Dreams
No idea about this one, but it sounds interesting.

Star Soldier R (800)
Shooter goodness from Hudson.

Toki Tori
Anyone who's played the Game Boy Colour version of this excellent puzzler will know exactly what to expect. Fluffy yellow chick, lots of different items and a lot of potential for Wiimote smashing when it gets too hard.

Worth noting that the service does appear to be carrying the WiiWare title here as well, rather than the Wii Software tag we'd been expecting.

It's differences like this that mean you'll pay as much as you will for Rock Band! Stop drawing lines in the sand! :( :( :(

@Kryptinite and VWGTI

Have you seen all the LostWinds c-blogs?

Yes... but we will be paying about 50% more for them.

I'm only interested in Lost Wind, but 7 quid for 3 hours of gameplay? Longer and cheaper than Portal, I guess.

WiiWare is definitely care about-able, even as a GTAIV / 360 owner. Lost Winds and Final Fantasy "Acronym Panic Attack" are top notch DLC. I totally stayed up until 4am playing the Crystal Chronicles game.

I guess I'll chalk it up to lack of knowledge. I skimmed an article on WiiWare titles in a recent GameInformer, but nothing really jumped out at me. I'll have to look into what it has to offer a bit closer.
