I'm not too sure if I'll purchase Everyone's Pokémon Ranch unless I really really need more space, safely assuming you can transfer Pokémon back to Diamond/Pearl. It seems to offer nothing except storage space and minor interaction.

For me, Pop and V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack are probably the only other games I'll get before waiting a while. The list of upcoming WiiWare games do not seem too enticing.

O i just love pokemon and Mii interaction is all. PLus i heard in IGN*edit* EGM that it may possibly be free. I also saw a game using flowers or wind or somthing. I want that also.

If it turns out to be free, then maybe I'll check it out.

LostWinds uses wind and flowers. =P I'm not sure what other game for WiiWare does...

Guys thanks for keeping up with this thread. I haven't been able to get any of these games. My wireless internet crapped out. Also how is that Life as a King game. I sounds pretty fun.

If you like simulation games, you might like this game. If you like certain Final Fantasy features such as jobs, good storyline, deep characters, etc., you might like this game. If you like simulation games and the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles setting, you will definitely enjoy this game unless you just simply do not think that they should mix like some people think...

I consider WiiWare a low-risk R&D opportunity for large and small developers. That means we might see many different types of games portraying new and innovative ideas, and I like that. My Life as a King is something we may have never seen if we didn't have WiiWare (I mention WiiWare only because FFCC seems like it's Nintendo-exclusive at this point). It is definitely a unique game. I recommend it because it's not something that Square-Enix usually tosses at us.

Having played more, I will say that you are able to change the jobs of your adventurers which will help against certain monsters and in certain areas that you send them to (while I was speaking to one of them, she said that a black mage would have had a lot of fun in the area she was sent to). You can build a number of things like houses, big houses, bakeries, armor shops, weapon shops, item shops, game rooms for recruiting thieves, white mage temples, black mage academies, guilds for raising the limit on how many adventurers you can hire, and all kinds of other buildings.

I couldn't agree with this statement any more than I currently do.

A few days ago, I downloaded the "TV Trivia King" game... and I must admit that it's a pretty fun trivia game to play with a group. My little three year old niece's Mii (controlled by the AI) almost took first place from me... I was very close to being somewhat embarrassed at just the thought.

^^^ BUMP ^^^

Dr. Mario Online Rx is probably one of the best WiiWare games that I have played recently... to me, it's every bit as compelling as playing a game of Tetris - if not more.

I've also downloaded Block Breaker Deluxe, which was released on Monday. Long story short, it's basically like playing a game of Breakout or Pong, with the exception of having better graphics and minor gameplay tweaks added. I think it's an average game, and my only (minor) gripe is the fact that it cost as much as it did for the initial download.

Still thinking about downloading that new fishing game that was released this past Monday... it looked kind of interesting when I watched the gameplay video being featured on the Nintendo Channel.

Lost Winds and FFCC My Life As A King are the only games worth buying.

they need more Demos like the xbla marketplace, becuse i can see people all over the world buying crappy flash games that looked cool at first glance.
