So Gyrostarr won't be here until the week after the next? Lame. They need to speed that WiiWare release schedule up!

I wonder if pirates is good...

The Nintendo Channel lists Defend Your Castle as released today, guess someone typed the wrong date into thedatabase.

I too wonder if Pirates is good. Anyone find any info or video?

If it wasn't so hard to get a Wii points card I'd have bought it already but for that I have to go to the nearest city and hope the gamestop has one, no other store ever has them in stock anymore.

Why the hell did Defend your castle take so long to go to europe?
It has a SINGLE screen of text.

how many languages did they have to misspell "health" for ?

Wow Vega instead of be happy for Europe you complain that it took so long.Be happy that games are being released!

NCL controls the releases in all regions for the VC and WiiWare services so it's pretty much between whats ready and what NCL says.

Yoshidious · « **Reply #213 on:** July 31, 2008, 07:07:52 PM »

WiiWare:

Defend Your Castle (500)

Is WWG any good?

DYC was "short" (i.e. not something you'll play for very long) but worth the money, right?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #215 on:** August 01, 2008, 10:09:05 PM »

WiiWare World gave WWG a 7, saying it's fun but a little repetitive. If I weren't in the block crisis that I'm in I'd buy it when it came out in America based on the review.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #216 on:** August 02, 2008, 09:40:21 AM »

I got WWG. Turns out 2/3rds of each stage are spent playing two modes of the Wii Play shooting game (not always the same two but ALL of these modes are ripoffs) with some background stuff added like occassional kamikaze guys charging you. Instead of ufos and miis you get vultures and bunnies. The shooting parts themselves aren't that long. Getting hit only resets your combo counter it seems (at least I couldn't see the health indicator in the first three stages) though you'll still want to avoid that. Would be nice if the game showed your current combo counter somewhere but I guess in games like this screen clutter must be avoided. The game has very long load times for some reason and the framerate isn't very high either. Also the company logo is a short movie, I bet a few blocks could have been saved by cutting that (and maybe the background movies that play in the menu)...

BTW, the manual is almost a complete waste of time, it consists mostly of screenshots of the menu options... If you've played Wii Play you'll probably know how the modes work anyway.

I'm a little bit jealous. That game looks so racist. I would to gift that game to my sister. She is Doctorate in Sociology and got her doctorate in Mexican Immigration. So she would see the RACIST mexican portrays and either laugh her ass off or be pissed.

LOL. I might buy it for myself just to have another game to use my perfect shot with.

D_Average · « **Reply #218 on:** August 04, 2008, 05:40:55 PM »

I"m surprised the game got a 7. From the looks of the game, it seem WiiWorld cut them a break b/c there are so few shooters on the Wii.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #219 on:** August 05, 2008, 02:23:49 AM »

Well, it probably has the whole "casual appeal" going with shots not killing you but resetting your score multiplier (and unbroken combos being awfully valuable).

Vega: They didn't even translate that one screen of text in DYC...
