Wii Fanboy reviews the WiiWare launch lineup

I'm loving Defend Your Castle and Lost Winds. Bring it on, Wii Ware!

"Several hours later, since I was still playing ... Without my even realizing it, My Life as a King had gone from boring to fun."

how can you not realize you are having fun? don't drink their kool-aid, man.

I hate the crystal chronicles series, but lost winds seems pretty cool.

I'm probably going to get defend Your Castle.
loved the flash game and seems like a better party game than Mario kart.

I really hope that Wiiware starts kicking some serious high-budget developer ass. In one corner, you've got developers selling full-priced half-assed Wii games whereas on the other, you've got developers selling small-priced full-invested games.


Somebody's going to have to be knocked down for the sake of good gaming.

I wonder if Wiiware won't be the magic ingredient for those casual gamers on the Wii.

Its been pretty clear for a while that the Wii audience is really split between the hardcore nintendo fans (who buy every game, if its nintendo) and the casual users who tend to only play Wii Sports and Wii fit.

Personally I think the high price of games must be very off-putting to casual users... and I think, if nintendo markets it properly, these kind of fun, casual, low priced games, delivered right to your console, could be a great way to get those casual users to play more games.

(after all, the big studios seem to have decided to try and catch the casual market by porting over basic games without much investment or effort.. its just they try and charge full price for them!)

We got Lost Winds and the Final Fantasy game (which is strangely addictive) and ran out of blocks before we could get Defend the Castle. Why do you hate money Nintendo?

Wiiware Wiiware WOCK YOU.
