No WiiWare Games For Europe This Friday

Avatar

Posted Fri, 27 Jun 2008 - By Darren Calvert

It would seem that Nintendo of Europe have firmly decided on a pattern for WiiWare and VC releases now. Last week you got two WiiWare games, so this week you get none!

It's not all doom and gloom however. There are 5 new Virtual Console games to choose from and none of them are stinkers:

There is pretty much something to suit everyone's taste there. If you don't fancy any of these then why not check out the WiiWare games available in Europe on our list and take a chance on one? If you haven't got Toki Tori yet, you are missing out :p

Posted in European Releases.

Have your say about this story

I would say poor Europe, but you got some cool VC games.

Dang lucky them, Super Fantasy Zone is a game I'm really looking forward to purchasing once it's released in NA. The original Fantasy Zone is great!

At least there is a wide range of variety. It would be nice to see SMRPG in the middle of those. That would be really worth not getting a WiiWare title. . . lol

At least you guys got Pac-Attack finally, it is a decent puzzle game. Sucks that your WiiWare releases are in the crapper though.

I thought we already knew the EU schedule was like this... What's stupid about it is that they do 5 VC titles and then 2 WiiWare... It's bi-weekly, it should be 3-4 WiiWare, minimum.

So it's going to be a good week for EU when VC comes along but a poor week when WiiWare comes? :P

Heh, all the first comments are from America... I find that ironic... Well, nobody over there better be complaining, this is not a bad week for Europe.

Go figure. All the Europeans are hanging out at vc-reviews.com. Without any WiiWare releases they have no reason to come here today. Instead the Americans are betting on how many games NA will get. LOL.

18. ECM United States 27 Jun 2008, 03:41 GMT

Super Fantasy Zone is very, very good--I'm jealous.

All right, we get it, theres a pattern. Are we done with the Alternating FAIL stories every week now?

In favour of the WiiWare department, Nintendo likes us (and Japan of course!)

I wish PAL was the same... :(

Did you not know NoE was made of fail?

25. calculon United Kingdom 27 Jun 2008, 06:33 GMT

Yeah, I've noticed a pattern recently too. It's called the "No Money For You Nintendo" pattern and seems to be a week-on-week thing.

I hate you NoE, and also for make World of Goo a DVD release.

29. Corbie United States 27 Jun 2008, 10:10 GMT

Don't pass over Super Fantasy Zone. I like the original Fantasy Zone, but Super Fantasy Zone is even better. Shame it was never released in the US. Maybe the Virtual Console will change that. :)

Avatar

30. calculon United Kingdom 27 Jun 2008, 10:24 GMT

I'd be interested in Super Fantasy Zone if it weren't for the fact that Air Zonk is a superior game in practically every way. Oh, and it's cheaper too.

Avatar

31. Corbie United States 27 Jun 2008, 10:53 GMT

I agree. Air Zonk is a better game. If I could only have one of the two, it would definitely be Air Zonk.

Nothing to see here, only SPAIN is going to WIN the Euro 2008!

33. Junichi United Kingdom 27 Jun 2008, 13:03 GMT

Eventually VC Reviews/WiiWare-World will run out of these 'fail' pictures. What will they do then I wonder?

Avatar

34. Dazza United Kingdom 27 Jun 2008, 13:20 GMT

LOL we're not gonna do these posts anymore. I think Europe gets the idea now. One week you get WiiWare, the next week you get VC. This is how it is in the new order!

Don't worry though, we have a huge stash of FAIL ready for whenever we need it! :p

Avatar

35. Webby Netherlands 27 Jun 2008, 13:41 GMT

We got one, then nothing, then 2, then nothing. That's an average of 0,75 games a week, 39 a year. And you guys even published an article that there are 100 wiiware games in development. So they don't need any more developers for the next 3 years :)

36. over9000 United States 27 Jun 2008, 15:46 GMT

Hey at least they get something

37. Shiryu Portugal 27 Jun 2008, 17:52 GMT

Dammit! I was really looking forward to Gyrostarr... oh well, Smash Bros Brawl will have to do (you people over ther ein America, you do realise where only getting it today, right?).

38. thewiirocks United States 27 Jun 2008, 21:11 GMT

@Dazza - Don't forget to use the occasional Blazing Star screenshot for failure. It is the grandpappy of all FAIL, after all. "Your skills are not enough!" :P

lol first Europe complains about not getting any VC games last week, and now they complain about no Wiiware games. Europe just complains too much.

We complain cause you get decent games EVERY week and Virtual Console.
