can you download Icarian for me ? I am really curious about that game.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #378 on:** June 19, 2009, 03:37:38 PM »

I already did and it's very good. Definitely better than Lost Winds I'd say.

Aren't WiiWare games designed for Wii awesome?

Amen. Too bad Frontier is too busy working on an HD project instead of Lostwinds 2.
I'm getting Icarian as soon as it hits stateside. I'm very jealous of the Euro crowd. Though they do deserve chances to get things first like this so I'm not bitter about having to wait.

Nintendo Life says Hudson announced Water Warfare, Sudoku 50 for Beginners and Sim Earth for Friday.

Stratos · « **Reply #382 on:** June 25, 2009, 06:18:05 PM »

Sadly I think Water Warfare's relevance has faded in the face of the Conduit. But we'll see.

Sudoku is nice. If it turns out well I may get that. SimEarth I might also get. Depends on how much it is like the PC version I played back in the day.

Yoshidious · « **Reply #383 on:** June 25, 2009, 07:05:25 PM »

Confirming updates:

DSiWare: Sudoku 50! for Beginners (200)
WiiWare: PUZZLE BOBBLE Plus! (800), Water Warfare (800)
VC: Altered Beast (Arcade, 900), SimEarth: The Living Planet (TG16, 800)

Stratos · « **Reply #384 on:** June 25, 2009, 07:36:56 PM »

When is Conduit coming out there? Water Warfare may be a good substitute until it does come out. I just realized I do not know when it releases there. (Hopefully without the horrid optimization issues Sega's other game, Madworld.)

July 10 in Europe, July 16 in Australia.

Also The Conduit doesn't have local MP and doesn't cost only 800 points.

Good point. Water Warfare does have the local MP covered. I love how Hudson was able to pull off both online and local MP in an 800 point WiiWare game while the big uber release Conduit couldn't have both.

Thankfully it doesn't look like it is hurting sales of the game.

What you're currently seeing is the first wave of sales, these are motivated by centralized information (provided by reviewers or ads or the company or whatever). The impact of local MP will only be felt in the second wave that is motivated by information from existing users. Local MP increases the rate at which that second information spreads, the game's owners have more reason to show it to their friends ASAP, thus spreading the experience faster. Without local MP they have to talk about the game which is less effective or one guy plays while the other has to watch which isn't a lot of fun and probably won't happen in larger groups (and even if most of the guests won't get to play).

Stratos · « **Reply #389 on:** June 26, 2009, 05:32:14 PM »

That's true. I wonder if this means that Conduit's chances of being a slow burner/evergree title are slim.

Hanabi festival returns:

VC - Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen (SNES, 900), Pulseman (MD, 900)
WiiWare - Bit Boy!! (600), Gradius Rebirth (600)
DSiWare - Mario Calculator (200), Mario Clock (200), Brain Challenge (800)

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #391 on:** July 02, 2009, 10:32:24 PM »

For those curious, Ogre Battle and Gradius ReBirth have already been released in North America. Pulsman has been released in Japan but not North America. This is the first release of Bit Boy and Brain Challenge. Mario Calculator and Mario Clock are just Apps, not games.

Stratos · « **Reply #392 on:** July 03, 2009, 12:45:41 AM »

I got March of the Black Queen. It's a little hard to adapt to since I played the N64 one before it and that one is so much nicer.

But it does the job and is a good fill until I get my N64 set up again.

Yoshidious · « **Reply #393 on:** July 03, 2009, 07:21:29 AM »

Rest of the Hanabi line-up for future weeks:

Bomberman '94 (TG16)
StarTropics II: Zoda's Revenge (NES)
MUSHA (MD)
Smash Table Tennis (NES)
Detana Twin Bee (TG16)
Kirby's Dream Land (SNES)

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #394 on:** July 03, 2009, 08:10:08 PM »

It's "Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II", not the other way around.

Anyways, Smash Table Tennis is the only one not out already in North America. Good for you guys (now hopefully Nintendo brings some of those PAL releases, like Devil World, to us in North America).

Thank you for averting the mass confusion that may have ensued had that slip-up not been caught.

BTW, the verdict is in and Bit Boy is **** as expected. Well, the usual plants defend it but nobody else does.

Is it sad that a few names from the NintendoLife community come to mind? Most curious that their names appear in the credits of the game.

Yoshidious · « **Reply #398 on:** July 09, 2009, 07:25:15 PM »

VC: Bomberman '94 (TG-16, 700), Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II (NES, 600)
WiiWare: 5 Spots Party (500), Karate Pants: Gloves of Glory (800)
DSiWare: Art Style: BOXLIFE (500)

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #399 on:** July 09, 2009, 08:45:21 PM »

The VC and DSiWare games are out in NA already, but neither WiiWare game is. I have seen videos of 5 Spots Party and have no interest in it (it's basically just a video game version of looking at 2 similar pictures and spotting the differences between them), I never heard of Karate Phants: Gloves of Glory though.
