    Thanks. Yeah I played the GBA rerelease of it a few years back, and had fun with its simple charm. But it was ridiculously easy. I read up and I know the NES one is a lot harder, which is good to me.

    Also can ya clarify what that glitch is? That bit confused me.

    Houses-Restore Spells and HP and allow you to save on the world map.

    Glitch-Houses Restore Spells AFTER the save, so if you died you wake up there with the pre rest amount of spells.

    Fix-Use a cheap ass tent which saves the game anywhere on the world map after using a house.

    Ninja Gaiden Arcade came out in europe. Very disappointing.

    Imagine if Final Fight gave you next to no room to move around enemies. To throw someone, you have to jump and attack at the right time. There's no jump attack in and of itself, which is quite painful. Very simplistic and old school arcade difficulty on top of that.

    You can beat it, because you can have infinite credits, but I didn't bother. Be warned folks. Outside of nostalgia, if you really want a scrolling beat em up, there's already the Golden Axe and Streets of Rage series' and Final Fight 2 has 2 player.

    Dama, I am enjoying Excitebike quite a bit. It is every bit as simple as the original with smooth new graphics and online multiplayer.

    If I were making dollar/value judgements, I would have already gotten my money's worth. The thing that I like is that there is just enough value in replaying levels to keep you working towards the better ranks.

    Well then everyone should buy it, in case it'll get capcom to release final fight arcade.

    Downloaded NG NES on VC release, enjoyable despite being so hard.

    They're not the same gametype thoug. NG nes is like shinobi, NG arcade is like double dragon.

    Holy shit! Wii just got an update in europe, the following Wii Ware games are available as demos:

    FF crystal cronicles: my life as a dark lord
    Bit Trip Beat
    Nyx quest

    Only available until 31st jan 2010, this looks like Nintendo testing the waters on the demo issue, so if you have a Wii download them anyway and it could lead to us getting more demos in general

    The first level, which is a lot considering that the game has three levels in total. Reminds me that I still haven't unlocked the third one.

    WiiWare

    Pokémon Rumble
    Publisher: Nintendo
    Players: 1-4
    ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) – Mild Cartoon Violence
    Price: 1,500 Wii Points
    Description: Available exclusively for the WiiWare service, Pokémon Rumble is an action game in which you control Toy Pokémon (referred to as "Pokémon") and take on wave after wave of other Pokémon in a variety of stages. You can befriend some of the defeated Pokémon along the way, which lets you add them to your collection and grants you the ability to use them in battle. Switch between collected Pokémon at any time, taking advantage of the fact that the amount of damage you deal depends on the type of move used and the type of Pokémon hit. Be the last one standing to gain the right to compete in the Battle Royale and test your skills against many Pokémon at once. You can also team up with three people for some multiplayer action (additional Wii Remote controllers required), working together to take down tough Bosses and earning points that can be used toward recruiting or training Pokémon. You can even save your favorite Pokémon to your Wii Remote™ controller for exchanges with friends. Combining beautiful cel-shaded graphics and exciting game-play features, this is one rumble you won't want to miss. Note that a demo version of Pokémon Rumble is also available for zero Wii Points.

    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
    Price: 0 Wii Points
    Description: BIT.TRIP BEAT brings retro action back as you use the Wii Remote controller's motion sensor to bounce beats in this rhythm game. Retro visuals, classic game play, four-player multiplayer and an 8-bit soundtrack will get you in the zone and rock your world. Pay attention, though: As with most classic games, the challenges are mighty. If you can stay cool as the difficulty increases, you'll discover the beginnings of the BIT.TRIP saga.

    FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: My Life as a Darklord Demo
    Publisher: SQUARE ENIX
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) – Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes
    Price: 0 Wii Points
    Description: Step into the royal shoes of the Darklord's daughter as she installs traps and monsters inside her tower to fight back the endless waves of invading adventurers in this world-conquest role-playing game. Filling your demonic tower with monsters and traps called Artifacts is your only hope to keep the adventurers from destroying the Dark Crystal on the top floor. Fly your tower across the land and conquer every stage on your way to dominating the entire world.

    NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits Demo
    Publisher: Over The Top Games
    Players: 1-2
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Mild Fantasy Violence
    Price: 0 Wii Points
    Description: NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits is the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl who must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend, Icarus. Fly over the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras. You'll need the help of Zeus and other benevolent gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds at will. Fly, aim and shoot using the Wii Remote controller. Play with a friend and maximize your abilities: While one player controls Nyx, the other will control the powers from the gods.

    World of Goo Demo
    Publisher: 2D BOY
    Players: 1-4
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Comic Mischief
    Price: 0 Wii Points
    Description: World of Goo is an award-winning, physics-based puzzle/construction game made entirely by two guys. Use living, squirming, talking globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins and giant tongues. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore, but they don't know that they are in a game, nor that they are extremely delicious.

    Virtual Console

    Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures™
    Original platform: Super NES™
    Publisher: LucasArts
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) – Mild Violence
    Price: 800 Wii Points
    Description: Grab your trusty whip and slash your way through all three Indy classics in this no-thrills-barred adventure. If it happened in the movies, it happens here: the giant boulder from Raiders of the Lost Ark, the mine-cart chase from Temple of Doom, the three trials from Last Crusade, Rene Belloq and Colonel Vogel – it's three times the action, all in one fully loaded game.

    STREET FIGHTER II': CHAMPION EDITION
    Original platform: TurboGrafx16
    Publisher: Capcom
    Players: 1-2
    ESRB Rating: T (Teen) – Mild Blood, Violence
    Price: 700 Wii Points
    Description: This is the classic PCEngine (TurboGrafx16) version of the two-player fighting game that started it all. At the time, a large capacity HuCARD was used to allow faithful recreation of the dynamic arcade game and its features, including bonus stages and sound effects. In the game, players select one of 12 characters and face opponents in a no-holds-barred battle to decide the top fighter. Master a character's special moves and combos to defeat your rivals around the world. In "V.S. BATTLE" mode, there's a convenient handicap feature. Using this feature to adjust a character's performance, a novice player can be evenly matched against a seasoned player to enjoy an intense, head-to-head combat experience.

    Nintendo DSiWare

    Art Style™: DIGIDRIVE™
    Publisher: Nintendo
    Players: 1-2
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
    Price: 500 Nintendo DSi Points™
    Description: It's traffic control with a twist as you try to direct identical cars down the same road in Art Style: DIGIDRIVE. This constantly moving puzzle game combines an easily understood playing field (an intersection) and a simple goal (create fuel), challenging you to properly guide a never-ending stream of cars. Stack similar cars five deep to create some fuel, then use that fuel to continue your progress in the game. Play in ENDLESS mode to see how long you can last, or compete against the computer or a human opponent in VS mode. Use combos to your advantage and see if your reflexes can handle the intensity of Overdrive mode. When all is said and done, you may never look at gridlock quite the same way again.

    Arcade Bowling
    Publisher: Skyworks Interactive
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
    Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
    Description: From Skyworks comes another addictively classic game, Arcade Bowling. It was designed by video game legend David Crane, one of the original founders of Activision and one of the most critically acclaimed game designers of all time. In the tradition of everyone's favorite Boardwalk bowling game, use your stylus and steady aim to flick "laser" balls down the alley and up the ramp into the scoring holes. The farther away the scoring hole is, the more points you'll get. Arcade Bowling features three futuristic sound tracks, state-of-the-art 3-D graphics and two addictive game modes, Classic and Progressive. In Classic Mode, roll up to nine balls to score as many points as you can. In Progressive Mode, enjoy multiple levels of game play with increasing score plateaus and bonus targets.

    Robot Rescue
    Publisher: Teyon
    Players: 1
    ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) – Comic Mischief
    Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
    Description: Robot Rescue is a fun logic game based on a simple but entertaining concept. Your mission is to free robots trapped in 45 evil computer labyrinths while avoiding deadly traps. Sound easy? Not so fast. Each robot shares linked controls, so when you move one, you move them all. It will take clever planning and nerves of steel to pull off this electronic escape. You'll need to avoid many traps, such as mines or electrical circuits, and take advantage of special elements like glue stains. Choose one of three difficulty levels and get ready for a challenge.

    Nintendo adds new titles to the Nintendo DSi Shop and the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time on Mondays. Users with broadband Internet access can redeem Wii Points or Nintendo DSi Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel. Nintendo DSi Points can be purchased in the Nintendo DSi Shop. A Nintendo Points Card™ can be purchased at retail locations. All points from one Nintendo Points Card must be redeemed in either the Nintendo DSi Shop or the Wii Shop Channel. They are not transferable and cannot be divided between the two systems.

    Remember that both Wii and Nintendo DSi feature parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit Wii.com or NintendoDSi.com.

    Indy's Greatest Adventures! Awesome! I remember renting that a long time ago and enjoying it a lot. That was done by Factor 5, right? Too bad my Wii can't get online until I can get a wireless router - the USB Wi-Fi connector doesn't seem to cut it anymore. I'm kind of on an Indy kick right now - I rented Staff of Kings from Gamefly, which wasn't bad apart from the wonky motion controls, but it comes with Fate of Atlantis (which has been great), so it kind of evens out.

    Still no Cave Story, though, which is kind of a bummer.

    It feels so rewarding when you finally do finish the 3rd level. You definitely have a sense of accomplishment doing so. It is a pain though, since you have to start over from the beginning every time, and I must admit that I did watch a YouTube video of someone else playing it so I could really see what was happening in one or two particular sections.

    edit: I was just watching the video of the last level again, and saw that that guy had major problems in one of the spots I had major problems too. I remember that as being a spot where you had to have the multiplier bonus on going into it so even if you completely screwed up, you wouldn't die - just go into the black and white. Yeah, it's really evil.

    They pokemon game looked pretty solid in the demo; I went ahead and picked it up to play with my nephew, since he's in a pokemon phase these days.

    FF:MLaaDL was fun to play around with, but I haven't decided whether I like it enough to want to buy the whole thing. Haven't tried the others yet.

    My main problem with Darklord is that it felt like progression was really slow and the cynical me thinks this was an attempt to get DLC sold (don't stick many new monsters in the main game so that you're more inclined to buy the DLC).

    Love the demos. Tried Bit.Trip Beat, NyxQuest, and Darklord... Definitely have to check out NyxQuest (and get Lost Winds 2!) when I'm less bogged down with work. I'm glad that Nintendo decided to try out demos... I hope that they're monitoring how many people download them and that the whole experiment has positive results.

    I never got Pokemon Ranch, not because of the cuteness factor, but because they couldn't ravage each other with violent acts of supernatural nature. Now I have that, in bobblehead form no less.

    I finally tried out Trip.Bit Beat...good LORD! now I see why so many people are fans. Picking it up next time I get some Wii points, which will prolly be for Cave Story if it ever comes out. So, I guess the demos work. Well played Nintendo, well played.

    I'm guessing Cave Story won't be out next week because that's also when Bit.Trip Void comes out. We usually don't get two high profile releases in a week.

    Wow, I feel exactly the same. The ending of the demo was unsatisfactory though, I didn't even get a "congratulations, you beat the level!" just fade out and start of the Wii shop channel :?

    I wasn't hugely enamoured of the fact that they reward you for doing well by obscuring the screen with effects and instantly causing me to start missing the dots again. I'm sure were I to purchase it I'd get used to it with practice.

    Was that the end of the level it reached when it faded out or was there more to go?

    I haven't played the demo, but if you fought a boss and killed it, then that's the end of the level.

    edit: crappy TotP, this is regarding Bit.Trip Beat.
