I'm looking forward to MLE.
Online play, eating based weapons, I want to be Joey Chestnut breathing fire at Takeru Kobayashi.
I think its going to be good. And I like the fact that it doesn't take itself too seriously.

I just had an idea for a WiiWare game, not sure it deserves it's own thread though so I'll post it here.
Paperboy. You control your bike with the nunchuk and toss the paper using the Wii remote. You could use different tosses (lob, side-arm, underhand) to avoid obstacles in front of the house like bushes, gates, etc. If done right it could be fun.
I know that Paperboy is already on XBLA, any chance that it could be brought to WiiWare with some fun Wii-specific controls?

Hey GAF, so i have 3.200 Wii points and i want to use 'em for WiiWare.
Just remember i'm talking about European WiiWare.
What i already got:
Dr. Mario
LostWinds
Pokémon Ranch
What should i get?
Pop, maybe? [hey, it's like 600 points only]
FF: CC?
What i also really want to know is: are there new titles coming out? i don't want to say "should've waited, could've bought this instead" next week.
Thanks.

. It's pure gaming bliss if you like puzzle plattformers.Don't you worry about that.Wizpig said:What i mean is there seem to be a lot of items, the levels are complex etc. etc.
But it looks fun, just... maybe not for me
There is a metric ton of levels, grouped into themed worlds. Each world one or two items are introduced. You're eased into using them. Many levels get by with just a very sparse collection of items. I think the most variety I have encountered so far is three or four different items.
The main games' levels are of fairly modest difficulty, although there are some nice challenges strewn about. The real fun starts when you unlock each worlds' hard mode. Expect to rip your hair out in delightful frustration.
The levels can be viewed from a distance to get a better overview, and they're pretty convoluted since that's one of the points of the game: It's a puzzler. You need to get from A to B while using your items in the most efficient manner.
So, don't be put off by the levels or items. Ask yourself: Do I want to sit on this level and try to map out the best/only way how to get all the eggs with x amount of y items? Do I want to feel elated that I finally cracked that tough nut, only to be stumped anew by the next one?
You only get one joker that allows you to skip one level. Use it wisely.

Downloaded Toki Tori today. What a refreshing game. Love it.
I also have Lost Winds and Dr. Mario. So far Wii Ware has yet to disappoint me because all three are great.

It isn't all that bad but there's not much to do and you will almost never die.
You are a little pretend pirat ship that wants to get some key so you travel to different locations. They all are pretty much the same: water, rocks, other enemies ships throwing cannons at you. There are a small number of weapons like cannons, bombs, etc. You can destroy every enemy ship or just go by but sometimes you'll have to destroy them all so that a door opens. They give you an objective for every mission.
The controls are kinda weird at first. You go forward with B and change direction with the pad so, actually the ship will just spin when you use the pad. It is easy to get stuck for a little while if you go too close to the shore.
There are some powerups, treasure chests and some mission-specific items you have to get.
I don't remember how many missions there are but I think I'm almost done with the game after one session.
Probably not worth the 1000 points. Maybe for younger gamers.

Hey, so, question. My wife is a big Dr. Mario player, and yesterday, somehow, the background while playing that is typically blue got turned yellow. Any ideas how? Are you able to switch between colors? I tried hitting buttons at a few different times, but couldn't figure anything out.
