Wow that's a really great score. Maybe a Wiiware game can again win GOTY?



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Stop trolling; everyone knows that honor goes to Little King's Story.

a AAA Wiiware title? It's more likely than you think.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Didn't World of Goo already accomplish this?

great. i didn't get the first one because it's so gosh darn short, but since this one looks longer, i'm interested.

also, on an unrelated note, i wonder how shams will react if flowerworks gets a goty nomination?



come try out the computer game i've been working on for my high school senior project, titled sling ball. http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=76669&page=1

you can view a few screenshots from the game in my photo album here; http://www.vgchartz.com/photos/album.php?album=2312

yes, this is vonboy's alt account. i can't log into my original account, and i'm not sure if i will ever be able to.

LostWinds is my 2nd favorite WW game (after World of Goo). I always thought the sequel would be amazing.. I still think its too early for thoughts and predictions of GOTY though.

That's why he said "again," O Breaker Of Posts.



I'm very excited for this game, loved the original and it remains my favorite WiiWare game (not a big fan of puzzle games). I cant wait for this to release. A little disappointed they said it still about 4 hours, I was hoping for more like 5-7 since in interviews they said they had tried to make it much longer. Still 4 hours of a quality game for $10 isn't bad.
