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

European WiiWare Update - Filling Space Edition
njsykora | 8:14 PM on 06.19.2008 3 comments


So after last week's awesome 5-game blowout we're here with a pair of WiiWare titles. Neither of which will really jump out as essential buys.

Game 1 - Block Breaker Deluxe
Gameloft - 900 Points

Gameloft continue their neverending quest to vomit up their mobile phone games onto WiiWare. We don't need this thanks, certainly not if your charging 900 points for a tarted up Breakout/Arkanoid/Alleyway (beat that reference).

Game 2 - Cocoto Fishing Master
Neko - 700 Points

A fishing game on the Wii for £5. It has great potential but any game in that genre now has to take on Sega Bass Fishing and quite frankly, that's the only fishing game you need.

So a pair of games that aren't likely to leave you regretting it but there are much better ways to spend 1,600 points.

Oh yeah, and I'm finally back in the money today so I'm FINALLY picking up LostWinds. Looking forward to that.

I had block breaker deluxe on mu phone, it was free, it didn't impress me then and it ain't worth 900 points now.
We know of some really great looking games for the future, world of goo to name one, but for now it looks like we are having to put up with a lot of filler.

I'm not irritated about not having World of Goo and all those other desirable stuff isn't out anywhere else yet. As long as we're not kept waiting ages (or at all) for our WiiWare I'm happy to put up with the filler as long as everyone else is getting it.

Worth noting that this is the exact same WiiWare update as the US had this week.
