initial impressions of the three games i downloaded so far
first off toki tori is defo my favourite of the three so far, it encapsulates perfectly what i expected wiiware to be about but also harks back to the golden age of videogaming of the early-mid 90's. It's fun and quirky and has a fantastic learning/difficulty curve, only played the first 8 levels so far though. I suppose it's like a modern day puggsy if any of you guys can remember that game (was developed by psygnosis i believe on the megadrive) defo worth the 1000 wii points to down load
secondly lost winds, i've played for a good half hour and i gotta say it's rather enjoyable and utilises the wii remote and nunchuck fantastically. The game is very slow and sedate so far but it's very charming and the visual style is awesome, got me more excited for the release of soul bubbles ds.
last but not least my life as a king, definitely not a final fantasy game, lol, although i wasn't expecting that. It starts off very slowly and seems very spasmodic at first but already i'm seeing a lot of promise already and can see it's going to become very engaging. The visuals are beeautiful although at this point my city is rather bland as i've only got 5 houses and a bakery. There's a lot of depth with the families and your adventurers and talking to certain characters is quite rewarding, i think i'm gonna spend a couple of wii points downloading more races and dungeons if the game carries on engaging me like it has so far.
I'm still holding out on dr mario as i aint 100% sure yet so if anyones got it let us know your opinions.
overall a brilliant launch selection and a very very promising start for wiiware.
nintendo and sega fan since i was old enough to hold a game controller.
note: my games collection on my profile is only 20ish% complete, i've got a boatload of 360,saturn and dreamcast games to add and a few ps3 games, thanks :)
