Top 5: Anticipated WiiWare Games



Every Monday, Wii Fanboy brings you the Top 5. Inspired by sages such as David Letterman and John Cusack, the Top 5 will give us a chance to share our opinions on the numerous facets of a vast video game culture. And after all, who doesn't like reading these kinds of lists (and then bitching about them afterwards)? So jump right in, agree or disagree, and maybe leave a comment with your own personal Top 5.

The first batch of WiiWare was released awhile ago, and there have been high-profile releases, as well as a few future cult-classics. Despite the plentiful start, there are still many more titles on the horizon. Here's a look at what we are anticipating the most.

5. Bomberman - Since 1983, not much has changed in the Bomberman universe. This has its pros and cons. It's good because the basic Bomberman formula is not one that needs tinkering with. It's bad because, well, it's a little ridiculous to shell out full retail price for the same game generation after generation. Then along comes Bomberman for WiiWare. Nintendo's downloadable service is the perfect platform for a game such as this. With online multiplayer for 2 - 8 players, this release should be everything we need out of Bomberman: simple, classic gameplay for a reasonable price. The reduced cost should be wonderful news for wallets that were unfortunate enough to weather Bomberman, Super Bomberman, Bomberman 64, and Bomberman Generation.

Telltale's Sad Delay for Disappointed People


Kotaku posted the unfortunate news that Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, the WiiWare adventure game based on the bizarre Flash cartoon series (in case you somehow made it onto the Internet without passing through Free Country USA), has been delayed until July. Telltale Games confirmed the delay on their forums, with staffer "Jake" saying "We moved the launch of the season (less than a month) to make the game better."

Telltale assured the unreasonably angry posters in the forum that once the game does launch, the company will stick to scheduled releases of new episodes. And we can wait for the first one, as long as it comes out before 20X6.

Wii Warm Up: A flavor taste that will send you to the moon


We know that the main Homestar Runner cast will make appearances in Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People. We can also assume that everyone's favorite man/dragonman/just a dragon will show up as well. But it's not just about Homestar and the Strongs.

What else from the Homestarniverse do you want to see in the episodic adventure? Il Cartographer? Dangeresque? Stinko Man 20X6? Would it even be possible to endure a game featuring Senor Cardgage, the creepiest coolest guy we know? We're hoping for a visit from Mr. Shmallow -- look lively! -- or his descendants Marshie and Gel-arshie (who is an abomination, and is coming to your house after school!) That would be SO GOOD!

Enter: Strongbad gaming

YOUR HEAD A SPLODEBe careful, brave readers: upon playing these games, you head may a splode. Fans of Strongbad can now drink up a wonderful dose of flash gaming, via the Opera internet browser. Viidelectrix currently has four games available, developed with the Wii in mind, with more scheduled to come. These might not be paragons of game design, but fans of the series will certainly enjoy the meta-humor and references contained therein.

Where the heck is Peasant Quest? That game was awesome. Flash gaming on the Wii: 1.5 times neater than doing it in front of your computer.
