Block Breaker Deluxe breaks out onto Japanese WiiWare

Gameloft phoning in more WiiWare ports
TV Show King sounds like a great idea to us -- a trivia game with a low barrier to entry (price). We could totally see ourselves downloading something like that while bored some night or in preparation for a party or something.

Gameloft brings cell phone gaming to WiiWare
First, Block Breaker Deluxe is a remake of a cell phone game. Is Gameloft really setting this precedent one day after the launch of the service? This is, frankly, alarming. Second, for whatever reason, Gameloft decided that eye candy, in the form of some "sexy" female mascots, would be a good idea for the Arkanoid knockoff. This only has the effect of making us feel uncomfortable about buying it.
Simple Block Kuzushi drops the ball
The main problem is that the actual playfield is so small. About 20% of the screen is occupied by actual game, with the rest going to gaudy backgrounds and a view of your "Apian" avatar (all the Simple Wii games use the same totally cute avatar creation system). This seems like an odd choice, especially since it forces all the actual blocks and the paddle to be tiny onscreen. In addition, if there is pointer control for the paddle, we would much prefer to have the whole screen at our disposal instead of being restricted to minute movements.
The other issue we can spot from screens is that, for some mysterious reason, the playfield is tilted. Both of these choices seem like they would make the game harder to see and more annoying. On the upside, the game has a level editor. With the awesome-looking THE Shooting Action scoring a 17/40 in Famitsu (and with little chance of localization), we shouldn't continue caring about these games, but we still do. Famitsu reviews don't matter anyway.
