European WiiWare launch lineup

by Alexander Sliwinski { May 13th 2008 at 8:30AM }

There's a little bit of confusion regarding next Tuesday's WiiWare launch in Europe and what games will be available. Although Next-Gen reports that eight titles will be available at launch, Eurogamer found out from Nintendo that eight titles have been announced, but "not all eight titles will be immediately available from the May 20th launch date." Apparently the wording in the press release was a little tricky.

The European pricing for the games also didn't accompany Nintendo's press release. Eurogamer is guessing that the pricing (in Wii Points) will be the same as they are in the US and Japan. We've placed the launch list after the break. We'll update if Nintendo decides to clarify the situation.

Dr. Mario & Germ Buster (Nintendo)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (Square Enix)
LostWinds (Frontier)
Pirates: The Key of Dreams (Oxygen)
Pop (Nnooo)
Star Soldier R (Hudson)
Toki Tori (Two Tribes)
TV Show King (Gameloft)

Pfft... Nice try Nintendo. I saw leaked info on the ViiWear lineup and it's far better.

Why did you get the Wii and Brawl first?! For once Nintendo is being nice and giving Europe some good things first.

Still it's not as bad as the WORLDWIDE PS3 and PSP release (sony aren't the only ones who can capitalise). 9 months later we get the PSP and they shut down the biggest PSP exporter so we're saved from it!
