Karatephants is a 1 on 1 fighting game... with full waggle controls. According to the manual even vbasic movement requires waggle.

900 points for Kirby's Dream Land 3? Was it not released in PAL regions or something?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #404 on:** July 25, 2009, 01:12:35 PM »

Apparently not, it's import month.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #405 on:** July 25, 2009, 01:52:52 PM »

Correct, it was never released in PAL regions. Kinda odd.

I wish NA had an import month. I still think they should release the N64 Custom Robos over here.

I don't think it's odd. The game was released in 1998 after all, and the Super NES wasn't nearly as popular in PAL regions as it was in other territories.

I'd want Tetris 64. If they release that vitality sensor thingie then they could probably use that to emulate the Nintendo 64's Bio Sensor accessory.

I loved the DS one, it'd be great to get those. They'd probably require a lot of translation, though, so I doubt it'll happen.

I didn't like the DS one that much, preferred Gotcha Force by far...

Which is the same reason we will probably never get the SNES Fire Emblem games. Even at 900 Wii Points Nintendo may not think they would make enough money to justify the time and resources it would take to translate them into English.

Great you got Phantasy Star. Hope the game comes to the states soon.

I hear NoE announced Pilotwings and MvDK3 for next Friday. They also accidentally showed Arkanoid Plus for that Friday on the Nintendo Channel for a while, maybe that'll come too (it's 800 points, I bet it'll be 600 in the US).

That is odd how the price is different from Europe to USA. That can't all be for manual/text/voice translation work, can it? Though I guess making the game be in five different languages can be a lot of work.

That's the SNES Pilotwings, right? I never played it more than once or twice at a friends. Would love for it to come out.

Yoshidious · « **Reply #417 on:** August 20, 2009, 01:59:28 PM »

Confirming the full update list this week:

DSiWare: Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! (800), Pop+ Solo (500)
WiiWare: Arkanoid Plus! (800), Bit.Trip Core (600)
VC: Pilotwings (SNES, 800)

A nice list, I've punched a 2000 point card into my DSi, will probably get these two games and Suujin Taisen. The Wii games aren't for me I think.

Thanks to Phil for this list.

DSiWare: Oscar in Toyland (800)

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #422 on:** August 27, 2009, 09:06:16 PM »

Mr. Driller W was released in North America earlier this week, the other two are being released in PAL regions first.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #423 on:** August 28, 2009, 05:40:16 AM »

Oscar in Toyland is a port of an old Amiga game called Trolls, the main character was replaced since the Trolls were obviously licensed. The Trolls game had a sequel on the Amiga, Oscar, from which the new main character is taken.
