Topic: WiiWare's Second Anniversary Feature

[ThePerm]

hehe, it feels like yesterday you posted the one year anniversary

Needs more Chew Man Fu.

That's a VC game, dude. But a totally awesome one.

I know it's a VC game. "Needs more Chew Man Fu" is a general criticism that can be applied to any situation, since you can never have enough. Also, we've gotten so many retro-style remake/sequels, it's about time we got a new Chew Man Fu on WiiWare and DSiWare, and a gritty, brown, HD re-imagining of it on the 360.

I think I'm going to start using that in my everyday speech.

The News Cast needs more Chew Man Fu.

I'll see what I can do this week...

I'm back from Redmond and Day Four is up!

[NWR_Neal]

Day Five is up!

Who cares if it is relevant? Chew Man Fu is simply fun to say.

Anyways, ExciteBike World Rally is my most-played WiiWare game. It has some nice new features like being able to share tracks, though the core game could have used some more improvement and content. It's a shame that few other people here on NWR were into the game.

Mega Man 10 is definitely better than Mega Man 9, but it still lacks the overall greatness of the NES series. The robots are unsurpassed in ridiculousness, finally besting Mega Man 4. Pump Man still cracks me up. I noticed there was no mention of the music or weapons, probably because both are some of the worst the series has seen.

Just a minor quibble, but it's ReBirth (not Rebirth). I won't mention the other minor ones. Other than that, nice feature.

It would be interesting to see what the staff thinks are some of the worst WiiWare/DSiWare too.

The problem is that I'll bet few of the worst have actually been d/l'd by staff.

I get the feeling something is missing but I can't pick out what it is...

[Killer_Man_Jaro]

If you're allowing for reader submissions like with the DSiWare feature, I've got a couple of things in mind. The feature was very well put together though, and it's great that more members of the staff could contribute.

Considering the number of questionable games that made it in how come none of you suggested Toki Tori?

Toki Tori was a game that just dangled there, waiting for someone to write about it, but no one ever did. I've heard nothing but good things, but I don't think anyone who was involved in this feature played it.

That's it! I love Toki Tori. From its charming characters and atmosphere to it's devilishly challenging puzzles, it is a blast to play. It drips of classic shareware/freeware DOS games in the style and gameplay.

I've yet to beat the later levels because of how hard they are. But it feels so good when you finally solve a puzzle.

Mega Man 10 is definitely better than Mega Man 9

I couldn't disagree more.

Is that a gameboy game?

What, no love for Phoenix Wright when we have stuff like Pokemon frickin' Rumble up there, especially when one of you (and you know who you are) uses a Phoenix Wright character as your avatar?  For shame!  :

Me?  I ain't got no say in this.

[Stratos]

Yes, the Phoenix Wright games need to be included too.

[Mop it up]

I forgot about Toki Tori too! It's a pretty good puzzle game, it's like a side-scrolling Adventures of Lolo. I didn't finish it though, I can't remember if it is because I couldn't figure out a level or because I got distracted by another game.

I disagree that Phoenix Wright should have been included. They aren't technically WiiWare games. I see this feature as spotlighting the more original stuff on the service.

[Stratos]

But, but...pointing the Wiimote at the screen to object is awesome! I even shout objection sometimes.
