Sweet. Dr. Mario will be mine. Now just to wait and see what the VC releases are.

Edit: Out of pure boredom, here's the blockage of said titles (in Japan):

Dr. Mario Online Rx - 86 blocks
Star Soldier R - 141 blocks

Perhaps? fuck you. I wish I could give infractions right now :bomb:

I'll get Dr. Mario for sure, although I'll wait to see what everyone's impressions are on World of Goo.

I'm also anticipating Family Ping Pong, Bomberman, Critter Round Up, and Lost Winds 2, not to mention whatever VC titles are ahead. Of course, since my "fridge" is nearly full I don't know where I'm actually going to put all of it...

Thank you for being the Dr. Mario Enforcer so I don't have to. I'm thinking about possibly setting up a contest or "event" as an excuse to gift Dr. Mario to someone depending on my point balance after next week. If there really are seven games, that might wipe me out for a bit. Who am I kidding. I get sad if there are less than 4000 points on my Wii, so I'll probably restock pretty quickly.

I've never looked at this thread before, and I just came in to look at the last page. I don't think I want to look at any of the prior pages, because it sounds like something stupid is happening.

Anyways, LostWinds is the best game on wii, ok.

Pray, do tell, what does the last page sound like? I cant help but wander what a screen ready would do with those graphics...

What never happened before?

CoffeeEdge actively choosing to not derail an entire thread by focusing everyone's attention on himself and how much he hates whatever the thread is about?

Or

CoffeeEdge just being a general nuisance?

'Cuz you know, I'm just trying to figure out if you're astonished (former) or just being sarcastic (latter).

You think about that while you're enjoying your DVDs, ungrateful punk. It's not like you weren't targeting me with that shenaniganry up there, which brings up the interesting question of just how many times you've come into this thread and looking at the nonsense I post in it, waiting for a prime time to strike.

Christ, there's even more results than I thought there'd be. Sure I knew there were a few here and there, but really? 48 entries? I could make my entire post nothing but links - a sea of orange words and the hatred and loathing they skip back to.

That's like a short story. If I spiced it up with rhyming couplets and fanciful pictures, I could probably be the next Dr. Seuss.

I already told you; I've never, ever looked at this thread, much less any of your posts in it. And I wasn't "targeting" you with my comments about this thread. The reason I said that it sounded like something stupid was going on is that I came into a thread that's supposedly going to be talking about Wiiware, and the first thing I see is
love-smiley-076.gif
, and BlueLobstah saying "Good grief... what have you people done?"

I dunno about you, but that sounded to me like something stupid must have been going on. And then I see a bunch of emote combos that appear to be indicating that there is a bunch of stupid fighting going on in this thread. That's what I was commenting on; not your post itself.

Please, quit deluding yourself into thinking that I care enough to be so out to get you. I haven't attacked any of your posts in months, and I didn't start here.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']good news all you square fans:

http://www.vc-reviews.com/news/2008/05/square_enix_changes_its_mind_about_the_virtual_console[/QUOTE]

Pretty sure I posted the exact words from that interview a little while ago in here.

I didn't like them then, and I don't like them now. Square basically thinks releasing a game on the VC = insta-credibility destruction for the physical copies of a game.

Which is really stupid when you consider Chrono Trigger has only been released twice, the second one being chock full of speed issues.

What they are saying is that they'd rather remake and re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-release on various systems where they can charge thirty bucks a pop, if not forty. Which basically means the DS and PSP a this point, and inevitably the DS2/PSP2.

It's really not all that encouraging when you think about it. If you're going to hold off on Chrono Trigger and the like from VC/PSN/XBL, then playcate me with a modern sequel or a remake or something.

Yes, I realize it's kind of odd to ask for a remake of a game I own and could dig out and still play today. I mean at this point I'm basically fine with them releasing an old game in a new format with a few tweaks and updates. Just GIVE IT TO ME ALREADY. And bonus points - I'll even buy the digital copy for another eight bucks! That's two sales in one, Square. Seeing as how Nintendo has a hard-on to keep the VC games "true to their nature," they won't allow anything to change - it's just a pure ROM. But I'd still buy it regardless of if there's a 2D update of Chrono Trigger, a 3D update of Chrono Trigger, a Chrono Trigger rhythm game....

If I asked everyone who believed this to raise their hands, anyone with any semblance of paying attention around here and knowing what was going on would actually try to get theirs as down as possible. We could provide shovels so people could dig holes in an effort to not raise them as much as possible.

You come in after one of my posts, in a 2000+ post thread, to make a snide remark. That's quite a lottery for me to win, don't you think? You could come in at any time and make a valid post, but you choose not to. And then when you do, it's not even really on topic. It's just another smarmy tangent coupled with a small attempt to not quite look so conspicuous.

I didn't even start in on the comments about it - others did before me. Your denial doesn't work when people here are experienced enough to understand history, know how to use message boards, and are familiar with terminology like "annoying" and "troll."

Hell, you even acknowledge you start the attacks by proudly proclaiming you haven't done it in months. For a fun history lesson, go look up any posts you've made with my name in them. You'll find the first attack on the second page - it shouldn't take you long, in some thread about a dude selling his game collection (which I thought happened a lot longer ago, but it was somewhat recent in the grand scheme of things). And then come back and try to tell me I was the one who started everything from the get-go.

So I'm going to ask you calmly and quietly - if you don't have anything good to add in here, then leave. If you want to discuss Wiiware/VC games, then we welcome that too. But this current nonsense isn't required, given the good-hearted nature the core of this thread shares.

Again, I was commenting on the buttfuck emote, and the comments about "what have you people done." I inferred from those alone that there was a lot of fighting going on in what I thought, from the title, sounded like a civil thread.

I don't read any of the non-deal board indexes; I only open threads off the frontpage, and I've never really noticed this thread in the active threads lists before (though I've probably glanced past it before). Thus, I've never noticed this thread.

I swear to fucking god, I was not even talking about your post. If anything, I thought it was you summing up what was going on with emotes, but only now do I see that you were directly quoting other posts that already contained the emotes.

Again, I stopped screwing around with you months ago. Stop pretending you're so important.
 
[quote name='lilboo']Coffee, all you had to do was read like.. a page before and you would have been caught up. No need for all of this.[/QUOTE]

Hey, how about instead, you tell Strell to not be so butthurt, and convinced that I'm out to thrash every post he makes, when I've barely said a word to him in months. There was no need for any discussion about my post, when it wasn't directed at anyone specific.
 
[quote name='Plinko']Moving the conversation back on topic:

http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/05/next-weeks-wiiw.html

Next week's Wiiware releases:

Star Soldier R
Critter Round-up
and.....

That's it. 2 games. Again, they say that it isn't quite official yet, but that's what they're hearing.[/QUOTE]

Seriously?

What possible reason does Nintendo have for holding back the first party titles they've got that are probably already completed?
 
[quote name='Gothic Walrus']What possible reason does Nintendo have for holding back the first party titles they've got that are probably already completed?[/QUOTE]

Maybe they're holding Dr Mario back so that they can add in a full-blown online game browser, friends lists, and achievements.

hahaha jk
 
Nah Dr Mario is most likely coming out Monday.
Europe gets it on Tuesday. (WiiWare & Dr Mario)

The leak will not be happening anymore, sorry everyone. The guy on Gamefaqs just made a thread said that his friend can no longer give out the PR or he'll be fired. I really don't see what the big deal of leaking this silly info is..but, whatever.

I guess we'll JUST have to wait until Monday. Sigh!

I was wondering how long it was going to take. Nintendo does not take very kindly to leaks.

I guess...Wired didn't say that Critter Roundup and Star Soldier-R were the only games coming out, so there's still hope, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I think they want to have plausable dianbility. If soemthing changes, it's not a huge deal if no one knows, but if it's leaked they are veiwed as responsible. Also if Ninintendo is a publicly traded company, it can sometimes be a crime to let information out ahead of time, there by giving some people an advantage in the market. But what do I know, my degree's in Aquatic Biology.
 
Listen,
You should all be playing My Life as a King. I was extremely skeptical at first, but I bit. It's a great game. I'm having a ton of fun with it...and this is def in my top 10..MAYBE, just MAYBE top 5 Wii games. If you're not like me and you actually pay for your points, I can say that it IS worth the inital $15. I do think you'll eventually cave in and get the DLC. The only DLC that's overpriced is the triple race pack..but let's be honest, there's a shit load of rip off the XBLM too so it's reasonable.
I know the lack of demos is probably keeping most of you in the '"????????" about this game, but I wouldn't steer you wrong. (*insert inuendo*)
So.. go to referral central. Get some points. Buy some points. Get this game. ^_^

I thought the leak came from someone on NeoGAF , not someone on Gamefaqs.

In anycase , I'm patient , I have no problem waiting till mondays to find out what games come out. If anything I prefer waiting till monday and being surprised (good or bad) then getting the leak friday and either being let down for monday or being really exited and having to wait 2 extra days to download it.

I can vouch for this if you like city building games like Sim City, or just looking for a good Wiiware title. I really love Sim City so I bought this on a whim I must say this game is fantastic. It has just the right amount of City Building and sending people out to do missions which make it so damn good. It is also a game you can play if you only got a spare 10 minutes, or play for 3 hours straight it is that good.

I still need to play more of Lost Winds, I played for about 20 minutes getting up the first save point. Love the art style and idea, but unless they add in some puzzles or something soon, other than platform jumping I may not be a big fan of this game.

Bad idea. If you have 10 spare minutes, don't play this because otherwise you'll end up late for [insert social/life event here].
 
[quote name='BlueLobstah']Bad idea. If you have 10 spare minutes, don't play this because otherwise you'll end up late for [insert social/life event here].[/QUOTE]

I think I was the first one to talk about how addictive it was - I played for three hours straight after I bought it, on the first day when everyone else was still on the fence about it.

I'm not sure if anyone believed me back then, but it's nice to know I'm not alone now. ;)
 
[quote name='BlueLobstah']Bad idea. If you have 10 spare minutes, don't play this because otherwise you'll end up late for [insert social/life event here].[/quote]
Yeah you are right. To refine my statement this is a game you theoretically can play for 10 minutes but that wont happen, it would be more like 30 easily.

You can play Pop for 10 minutes. It's only $5. And it's shiny.
