Namco Bandai brings Mr Driller to Japanese Wiis photo

Normally I bemoan the fact that Japan gets so many cool games that never make it to US shores, but I have a feeling with this one we may see it eventually. Famitsu Magazine reported that Mr Driller World is coming to WiiWare in Japan next week, retailing for 800 Wii points.

After the disappointing experience of playing a rather broken version of Mr Driller on Xbox Live last year, I could definitely go for a new version of the addictive series. We'll have to see if this new version is as fun as its predecessors. I know it's cliche, but I'm a sucker for a hero wearing a pink hat (especially a male hero).

If they make it so it's not a broken piece of crap, I'll buy it.

I have never played a Mr. Driller game. Maybe I'll download it if it's good.

Online multiplayer was such a mess that was never fixed. The thing that made that worse was lack of local multiplayer.

At least Scamco are living up to there shining reputation.

You should be able to find a copy of Drill Spirits for the DS (surprise) for cheap. They took out a mode or two from the Japanese release, and the dialogue/voices are pretty terrible, but what's there plays pretty solidly--you'd be getting what you pay for at this point.

I wish they'd just go back and fix the XBLA version :(

@Roland9000, Shoop

Last time I checked, the multi-player _was_ working, however, there just wasn't anyone online playing. :o/

Prolly many still don't know about the patch, but, it did update my game to allow it.
