I'm glad Lode Runner is FINALLY out in PAL regions (it's been out in Japan since March 2007 and North America since June 2007).

Also what is up with all the sudoku games on DSiWare? I think it's getting close to 20.

I'm liking Alpha Bounce so far, the powerups can be pretty damn overpowered though. If you get a lucky Q (sucks everything except the outer rim of the level into a black hole) the level can end almost instantly, if it's followed by an O (splits the field and moves it outwards, eliminating two columns on each side by pushing them out) it's guaranteed. The first levels I played were overloaded with powerups where one powerup would break some bricks and release more powerups but now I've worked my way (it uses a grid based overworld and has you explore space) towards areas with very few powerups. Since it wants to be a kind of RPG as well there are items scattered around that you can collect and put into your inventory, then equip your paddle with them (like various balls, lasers, ...). You don't get extra lives, instead when one paddle dies the next one in your "party" spawns so it's important to find more paddles (and balls for them, can't field a paddle without a ball). Was a bit hard when I only had the regular and an ice ball (anything it touches can be destroyed with another hit but it won't break anything with just one touch) between my two paddles.

Nintendo of Europe originally said there would also be three Game & Watch games for DSiWare (Donkey Kong Jr., Ball, and Flagman), but changed their mind and pushed them back to next week.

Nice you guys got Earthworm Jim.

AiRace is 300 points cheaper in Europe (it's 800 points in North America). PAL regions also get the Phoenix Wright add-on before us (although you don't have the third game yet).

I hope that this means AA Ch5 will be here soon. I want to play it before I start the 3rd game.

Looks like VC is skipping a week here.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #494 on:** May 21, 2010, 02:57:01 AM »

Bah, terrible week. Only T&T would be interesting but most of us already played that on the DS. Robin Hood is another goddamn rail shooter (or maybe a chicken hunt-style shooter), no idea why devs think that's a big seller on the Wii. Why not make a sidescrolling game like Abuse or Contra?

There's two more crosswords titles listed in the release news here, apparently for different languages (German and French).

I have to say I'd be more interested in Light Trax than Rotozoa.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #497 on:** May 28, 2010, 12:57:46 PM »

I think most of us here already know this, but Kirby's Fun Pak is the PAL name for Kirby Super Star.

As for KDR's comment, Art Style: Penta Tentacles will be released in North America as Art Style: Rotozoa.

Sounds like a pretty good week overall.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #498 on:** May 28, 2010, 01:14:28 PM »

Given how awkward the name "Penta Tentacles" is I wonder if they wanted to call it Pentacles but ran into trouble with that...
