...and I will tell you why. It is pretty GOOD for Nintendo. They want to sell a lot of games and extra content to get a lot of money. And it looks like they are conquering what they want. But it is pretty BAD for us, gamers. Tell me one title that is worth getting. Final Fantasy may be your choice, but no, there are a lot of better titles available out there. Lostwinds, like Gamespot said, had a lot of potential, but the whole thing wasnt good enough. Dr. Mario is an interesting title, but come on, that is not what we want.

You may not agree with my opinion. But dont go yelling at me because of that. Because it is MY opinion. And the only thing I want is to know yours.

Did you just say gamers don't want Dr. Mario? :|...:lol:

Lostwinds and Final Fantasy are both spectacular games, and just about everything on WiiWare is atleast worth looking at(save maybe 3 of the games).

It's only been out 3 weeks, I think it's a bit early to start making judgements.

Yes, he said that one of the all time classic puzzlers that has millions of fans is a game that we don't want

I agree the games are really not worth the money. And you can by a game just like doctor mario on the VC for 5 dollars less.

Not in America and not online and not with Virus Buster but you make a good point

You can get the same exact thing except missing most of it's parts in a region that's not North America on the Virtual Console right now for 5 dollars.

Sounds like a deal!

Wiiware is great. Dr. Mario and LostWinds are great titles, and it has only been out for 3 weeks.

I have absolutely no idea where you got that from. Most people LOVE Dr. Mario, and were thrilled when it was announced.

Im not familiar with the online in DR. Mario but I wouldn't imagine that its any different than playing the computer. And I don't really know what virus buster is so I can't comment on that either. But even though Dr. Mario is not on the NA Wii VC im sure more than 70% if not more of the people who downloaded Dr. Mario have had the game at one time in there life, in some form.

Example: Dr. Mario has been on; NES, Game boy,Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advaced (3 diffrent times) and Nintendo 64. (And im sure I missed afew)

And thats why I agree with the TC when he says the games a not very good

You must have pretty high expectations for games that max out at 43 MB.

If your talking to me:

No I actually have very low expectations, thats why I haven't even down loaded Wii Ware yet in the first place. Because I don't think that I should spend 10 bucks on "games that max out at 43 MB". But thats only my opinion.However I do think that if you have never had the chance to play Dr. Mario than it is worth those 10 dollars.

We're barely into WiiWare and people are already complaining? They aren't the best games in the world, but they certainly aren't bad. Also, Gyrostarr and World of Goo are some of my most anticipated games right now, you just gotta give it time. Are you saying there isn't a single game announced or out for WiiWare that looks good?

Even though it might not be awesome yet, I think WiiWare will hopefully inspire a broader marketplace of games that are cheaper for players to buy. Now some or most of them may not be very good, but by having WiiWare out long enough I think we'll see some really sweet games come out that everyone will want to play.

So you haven't tried it, but you criticize it? That's not how it works.

As far as I'm concerned, any Dr. Mario = win

Well, it seems that you haven't even played those games, so you can't say that they are bad.

I actually agree with the TC. Wiiware is a great service but the games that are on it aren't that great. Lost Winds is a fun game, but let's face it... After playing trough it, I felt ripped off. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles longnamehere was fun for a while, but after like one or two hours the game just got repetitive.

Developers shouldn't concentrate on making games with great 3D graphics -- just like Final Fantasy and Lost Winds -- I mean, they only have 45 mb's of space. Instead they should make games that are longer and better. How does a 2D Metroid sound? 2D Castlevania or a 2D RPG game that could be pushing 20 hours? Now i know that the lenght of a game isn't important. In fact, I usually dislike games that are over 20 hours long, but less than two and a half hours (the time it took me to beat Lost Winds) is just too short for that type of a game.

I would love to see more 2D games on Wiiware, and not just puzzle games.

Exactly, i would love a 2D platformer (i think there is one in development) , a 2D rpg and even a strategy game, but wiiware has a decent lineup right now, maybe because i love Dr.Mario :P

Sorry, I have no opinion towards DR. Mario. I say that because I haven't played it and based on the screen it looks like a cool version of tetris, which still doesn't interest me. I agree though, WiiWare is good... Hmmm...

Yeah I think I exaggerated a little about Dr.Mario, sorry about that...

However, I still think they should launch more exciting games...

How about Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, World of Goo, Animales de la Muerte, Gyrostarr, or Lost Winds 2?

Look 'em up...they're most likely going to be awesome, and that's only what has been announced so far. More are coming.

Animales de la Muerte, Gyrostarrjeff89jdf

lol Animales de la Muerte is a funny title. Look at this:

Looks like Happy Tree Friends!
