Nice WiiWare lineup this week, though still no sign of the Art Style games:

Alien Crush Returns (800 points)
Brain Challenge (1000 points)
Space Invaders Get Even (500 points, with further level packs costing another 500 points each)

i wonder how space invaders is. The expensive aspect of the game is a real turn off it really gives me a sense they are just screwing the consumer. Other stuff like Mega Man 9's downloads are additional stuff but you got the real game this seems like a real greedy thing.

Supposedly the main game already hits the WW size limit and the additional packs are fairly large too.

I got Space Invaders (plus one mission pack), it's a highscore hunt and the goal is to optimize your per-level scores and get into the internet-synced leaderboard so the lack of missions doesn't hurt it that much. In fact the cost for additional missions might be a reason to revisit the ones you bought more often to get those scores up.

NoE apparently announced the Art Style games for Europe. I already expected them to forget about those.

Two big VC games:

Phantasy Star IV (MD, 800 points)
Mega Man 3 (NES, 500 points)

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #281 on:** November 13, 2008, 07:43:02 PM »

I hope Phantasy Star IV comes to the states soon.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #282 on:** November 13, 2008, 07:51:06 PM »

That reminds me, I downloaded Phantasy Star II months ago and never played it. I should play it.

Cubello (600 Points)
Strong Bad Episode 3 (1000 Points)

I wonder if it'll stay at 4 per fortnight or if the Art Style games just got special slots.

Hey guys any word on Star Fox for the SNES? Has it shown up on any ratings boards or anything? Or has it been completely nonexistant?

This one.

I question if we'll ever get it since the original used the Super FX chip. I'm not sure if Nintendo is going to bother figuring out how to emulate it properly. (This is the same reason I'm fearful Yoshi's Island will never make it to the VC.)

You may notice that we haven't received any N64 games that used the Expansion Pak (e.g. Majora's Mask).

Star Fox and Yoshi's Island are both playable through emulators via the Homebrew Channel, and if the homebrew guys can pull it off I'm pretty sure Nintendo wouldn't have much trouble.
