Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Nintendo fanboyism aside...

Really, I'm pretty impressive by how good WiiWare is shaping. Almost every WiiWare announced title looks very good, both graphical and gameplay side.

I'm proud of this developers, because they are peopel who actually wants to work, and actually wants to make good games.

Eternity's Child, World of Goo, Plattchen, Final Fantasy, Star Soldier R, and a lot of other titles. And all the games at a bargain price.

This developers only need one chance... they don't have the resources to make a big game, but they are proving to be very creatives. Developers like Data Design Interactive should be ashame for their mediocre games.

Now is your move Nintendo... we need external storage (at least run the games directly from SD cards)... without external storage, WiiWare can't survive.

Is it just me, or do the bottle cap heads of some of the attackers look an awful lot like Pepsi logos? I wonder if it's a case of coincidence, of paid product placement or of copyright infringement. ?

Wow, that looks absolutely horrible. I was interested in this before, but now I don't care at all. *shudder* That's so ugly.

"4 Player jump-in cooperative gameplay - Defend your Castle with up to 3 pals!"

This part right here interests me. I might buy if it is good.

This is awesome, starting and ending with the "helth" [sic] bar. WIN WIN WIN!

Also NWF, you forgot to mention:

Game features four player co-op and versus.

so.....yea like really is there any other games for the wiiware that may be good.Has anyone seen a good list of all games due to come out for it?

Video please? I like what i'm seeing, but the still images look very awkward

They did a good job of up-porting a simple flash game, gave it a completely original look

Don't forget you can play the original game for free (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/castle), to see it in action. It's really funny to kill the guys by throwing then (hopefully it will be even more fun with the Wiimote instead of a mouse).

I do like how Wii Ware is shaping up, and I'm very happy to see indie developers are really boarding to it, not only the big guys.

Looking good. Very interested in buying it.

I think the upgrades are cool, except for the graphics. I knew they were going to do redo them, but why this? What does Defend Your Castle have ANYTHING to do with construction paper and crap.

I would be interested if i didn't have to shell out cash for sh*t!

I mean c'mon...these pics actually make it look worse...

Spend your money towards better games.

I have no idea what's wrong with the complainers here. From an art design perspective, this looks phenomenally well executed. It's supposed to be a fun, light-hearted distraction and I think the graphics suit that perfectly. We'll see about the gameplay, I suppose. Color me intrigued.

if the gameplay is as good as pixel junk monsters i may buy it.

Don't know what the naysayers are smoking, but this looks good.
