European Nintendo downloads: Protothea finally arrives for some reason
We have a message to deliver to our European friends from the distant past: don't buy Protöthea. We had pretty much forgotten about this shooter, released soon after the North American launch of WiiWare, until Ubisoft inexplicably dusted it off for European release. There were much better shmup...
Wii Fanboy Review: Protothea
