so much for a Wii exclusive. And just 8.95 I fell sorry for those people that bought this game a couple of weeks ago.

No kidding. $40 at retail, $9 on steam (with extras). That's gotta hurt anyone that bought it.

Whenever Valve decides to pimp a game it seems to turn out really good.

Audiosurf and Peggle come to mind. =)

At least our "shovelware" is priced at appropriate shovelware price levels. ;)

Did try the demo, btw. It's not bad.

Jajajaja! That that, console gamer! See how you like paying $65 for a game, paying for content we get for free, and being gimped by a controller with no more than 13 buttons! Life as a console gamer is GREAT!

jajajajaja, I'll take 60 dollar games, a 300$ machine and buyable content over a 6 grand gaming computer any day, not to mention it goes out of date every year...

Have fun (if you're lucky) getting 8 months old games ported that are exactly same as the original.

John's doing his thing again?

First of all Pokemon was rubbish and didn't play well even though... he hadn't played it.

Does make me wonder if he's even tried this game...

This is the issue I have with "casual games" for consoles. I've played the DS game - it's as casual as they get; shoot some ninja cut-outs, grab some flies with chopsticks, bat some fruit with nun chucks...it goes on and on, just faster and faster and it costs almost as much as a "full" game.
Companies are making a ton of money passing off what would merely be a collection of mini-game add-ons in a regular game - for 75% of the price of a full game.
No wonder everyone is scrambling to get on the casual bandwagon.
I think it's time DS and Wii games get the same pricing as PSN, XBLA and Steam games, unless the media itself is costing them an additional $20?

I download from a different company called Cleveland Steamerworks. Most of their titles are pretty shitty.

Sounds like they are going after Wii specifically, taking one of the exclusive games, working with the developer to make it better then it was, then they can use those numbers to lure more smaller developers into the folds of Steam.

Go go Steam! Even if it isn't any good... its proves the power of SteamWorks. It could bring hope to the PC Game market!

Man does that weaken Wii and DS versions. Not like I was going to get the game anyway though.
