Did it kill XBLA? No, from what I can tell XBLA sells more games than WiiWare despite having demos.

[TJ Spyke]

I am not sure about that, we rarely ever get WiiWare or Xbox Live Arcade numbers.

[KDR_11k]

I know Hudson said they liked the sales of Bomberman on XBLA but WiiWare was bad.

[Stratos]

That's how we know. Devs make mention about their dissatisfaction in sales. More devs complain about Wiiware sales it seems.

Runner is basically like Canabalt or Robot Unicorn Attack. I like how messing up will instantly restart the level, no "retry?" prompts or anything, just a quick scroll and you're running again.

[Killer_Man_Jaro]

It seems to be the week of odd European game titles - I forgot Kirby Super Star is called Kirby's Fun Pak (shudder) over here, and I absolutely refuse to call Rotozoa by that travesty of a name.

Still, a relatively strong update for the PAL Shop Channel. The best Kirby platformer, a new Art Style game and Lead The Meerkats might turn out okay.

[Stratos]

...Penta Tentacles?... Sounds like something that is banned on these forums.

[KDR_11k]

Should Just Sing really count as an app? AFAIK it does rate you on your performance so it's a music game.
