So, as most of you may already know, WiiWare finally arrived to the shop channel today at 12:00 PM. Now, I was pretty excited, because I was assuming Dr. mario would be one of the launch titles, but alas, it wasn't. That actually comes out next week, I just found out. For the rest of the titles, I'm not that pleased. FFCC looks O.K., but I'm not a big Final Fantasy fan. Lost Winds looks O.K. Quite Frankly, I think TV Show Master looks like one of the best ones. I was also expecting Star Soldier R and Pokemon Ranch to be there, too. So, that's just my opinion...

I wanted to get Defend Your Castle but... it costs 500 Wii Points and I only have 300 Wii Points.

Oh. I didn't know, I had assumed it would be at 12, because that's when VC games are usually put up.

I noticed they were up at 6 AM Pacific Standard Time.  I only have 300 points now and haven't read reviews yet to determine what if anything I'll be getting this week.  I'll post impressions later if I get anything.  I'm looking forward to Dr. Mario and Critter Roundup the most.

Yeah, I'm dying for Dr. Mario. I can't even express the feelings I had when I found out it wasn't out today :(

I'll probably get Lost Winds.  Looks to be the best of the bunch to me. 

I was interested in Final Fantasy, but it's the most expensive (dollars and blocks) and if you buy all the extra downloaded content will cost at least another $25 and a few more block.  WTD is up with that?

I was also interested in Defend Your Castle, but it appears it would get old quick. 

So, it's Lost Winds for me if I can scrounge up the space.  If not I'll keep playing the excellent Boom Blox.

Wired, IGN, and WiiWare-World all have some reviews if you're interested.

Lost Winds looked the most interesting to me, although I'll probably get the Final Fantasy one at some point as well.
That was a joke.

The best thing about LostWinds so far is that the enemies are called Glorbs.

Yes, I've killed hundreds of Glorbs today.

No Glorb is safe from my windy gusts of wrath.

The X-Gen Studios game?  That "Defend Your Castle"?
