I'm totally lost. Are these games you can download online? I'm in a country in which I cannot buy Wii games and have a party tonight! Would love some new games.

Mr E

You download them through the Wii shop channel (one of the main icons on the Wii menu). You will need wireless access to download them, and they cost between €5 and €15 depending on the game.

What a waste, wiiware has been left to die, still no date on an EU release for Cave Story nor any region for Super Meat Boy.

Nintendo have promised us so much but failed to deliver. MS and Sony have great download services but wiiware is pathetic.

99% sh**e.....

Such a shame about Wiiware, its now wall to wall shovelware, the only release on my radar is La Mulana and going by what happened with Caves there is no way of knowing if we'll even get that over here. Even Team Meat have all but ditched WiiWare and are singing the praises of developing for Xbox.

At this stage even Nintendo must be aware of the missed opportunity, PSN and XBLA have plenty of dodgey titles too but enough interesting and progressive titles to balance them out, the same is far and few and between on WiiWare.

Mr E

I read a good review of Aura Aura climber on Eurogamer this morning (8/10) - looks like a good pick up and play game.

Out this week:

Fenimore Fillmore The Westerner

I see here that WiiWare in the US has got an updated version of Cave Story that fixes multiple bugs, it looks like it was a bit of a mess upon release which might explain why we never got it. Hopefully now that its fixed and its coming to DSiware we'll see it here too.

Mr E

Hopefully soon, valley.... no sign yet though.

My Starry Night

I downloaded this over the weekend after a few rums
Now, I'm all into the whole astronomy thing and while I don't have a telescope anymore, this software is pretty cool for anyone with an interest.
You can put your co-ordinates in and it'll show you the starfield from that perspective. Its UI is pretty simple and there is a vast amount of info on constellations, planets etc. It's pretty easy to actually find something in the night sky using this.

Good piece of software but only if you're into astronomy.

Did it again; this weeks drunken purchase was Zombie Panic in Wonderland, a wiiware game of the same kin as the old Cabal games.
You shoot zombies before they "hug" you to death and it's a lot of fun.
You can move left or right with nunchuk and aim/shoot with wiimote.

Lots of laughs in this one and deffo one of the better ones on wii ware.

Retr0gamer

Cabal you say? Must check it out!

I noticed the news update stating that demo functionality for wiiware games would be introduced as of the 5th of November, and Zombie Panic in Wonderland will be the first game I try out using this. It sounds right up my alley

Edited to add: Never mind, turns out I misread the news about the demos. I've now tried out Zombie Panic & Thruspace, and will be buying them both.

There are cartridge versions of both (with double the levels). The download versions have 50, retail versions have 100.

The retail version was released a few weeks ago apparently.....

It's at least not as bad as the DSIware 'games' that turn your DSI screen into a flashlight or the one that turns it into a strobe.
