Dubious WiiWare sales numbers

We don't know how a Ruliweb poster came across these statistics for Japanese sales of four WiiWare games. They could be inaccurate, they could be stolen from some analyst, or they could even be totally made up. Don't start writing any in-depth articles about these sales numbers or anything like that.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King is the biggest surprise here. We weren't sure how a very nontraditional Final Fantasy game (with grating DLC) would sell, even in Japan. If this report is to be believed, we have our answer: very well!

Pokemon Ranch is the cheeriest damn game ever

Feeling blue for some reason? Then if we were you, we'd plan to make Pokemon Ranch your first WiiWare purchase when the service launches in the states in May.

We're not even exaggerating in that title, either -- this game hits new, extreme heights of chirpiness, not to mention cuteness. In fact, for our money, it's more adorable than this. And yes, even this. People, this game practically vomits rainbows. It caused stone-hearted cynics like ourselves to drop our usual sneering and actually smile. You can try to resist, but it will be futile. Squeal and "awwww" your way past the break for another three videos.

When it comes to Wii Ware in Japan, Nintendo is cutting it fine. Just this morning, the company announced that the service would launch in the region on March 25th, a mere fortnight from now. The U.S. launch of Wii Ware, you may recall, is down for May 12th.

As well as a date, Nintendo revealed a launch line-up of nine titles with prices that ranged from 500 (Okiraku Ping-Pong Wii and Angel's Solitaire) to 1500 (My Life As A King: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles) Wii points:
Update 1: GameTrailers has just updated with videos of Everybody's Pokemon Ranch, Star Soldier R, Word Puzzle Mojipittan Wii, and Dr. Mario. Hit the break, people!

Japanese Wii Ware page debuts

The steady stream of Wii Ware news continues, this time with Nintendo's launch of its official Japanese site for the video game download service. So far, the hub lists almost a dozen upcoming titles, attaching new screenshots to some of the releases:
LostWinds and other western-developed games are noticeably missing, but that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't planned as launch or near-launch titles for other territories. Much to our disappointment, the page neglects to mention any specific pricing for the titles.

One worthwhile detail that we spotted is the above screenof Dr. Mario's four-player cooperative mode. The puzzler was already perfect before -- now it's even perfecter. There's also a multiplayer shot for Magnetica (Puzzloop) worth checking out!

Round up your Pokemon for a photo

Just about the only thing we knew about the Pokemon Wii Ware title, Pokémon Ranch, is that you can import critters from Diamond and Pearl. According to the latest preview from Famitsu, you'll be able to play with those Pokemans once they get to the ranch, in the game now officially titled Minna no Pokémon Bokujou (Everyone's Pokémon Ranch). No better way to give your fighting slave a break than by forcing it to dance and give you a piggyback ride!

You can also pose (your Mii) for pictures with those Pokemans, which can be saved on an SD card and transferred to a computer. A real computer, not one of those in-game Pokémon computers used to transfer captured Pokémon.
