Oh Nintendo. Pokemon Box and Dr. Mario aren't worth as much as Super Mario 64 or OoT. And I highly doubt most of the other 1000point games are either. Try again please. EDIT: Okay, its Doc Mario with a couple of different games types, 4 player and online. Fine then, I guess thats equal to 64 games. Still think everything on the Wii is too overpriced though. Also Tetris looks awesome. Please be cheap.   |

^ Those two are 1000 points? *sigh* It's price gouging, I tell you...

Out of those above, only Star Soldier R looks interesting to me. And 1000 Wii points for Dr. Mario is waaaay too much.

What? Where's the love for Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles? It's probably the only WiiWare game that comparably with Star Soldier R in terms of high quality and lots of content.

Yeah I think I'll keep spending my Wii points on VC games for now.
That Dr.Mii game looks pretty decent, but come on 1000 points?

I'm looking forward to Crystal Chronicles, even if it is a country-building simulator.
And that two-player version of Tetris is totally ripped-off from Tengen's NES version -- the one Nintendo took them to court over.

500 points to play Solitaire? Expensive for a game you get free with your PC. I don't see myself buying any of these, or any VC games for a while actually. Although, the tetris does look awesome.

Star Solider R, Tetris and Dr.Mii looks pretty interesting, I wish it will be 500 points. I miss Solar Striker already.
Pokemon Ranch looks so chibi.

Dr. Mario costs the same as any puzzle game besides Zuma and Hexic HD for the Xbox 360 at $10 which is 1000 Wii Points or 800 Microsoft Points. Apparently, puzzle games go for $10 on console download services, and I have 1000 Wii Points reserved for the good Doctor. Dr. Mario WiiWare, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, and Star Soldier R are worth their price point, as well as Tetris would be at 1000 Wii Points... And Everyone's Pokemon Ranch is worth getting if you run out of space on your Pokemon Diamond/Pearl game cart.

When the hell did everybody become so cheap? For a new game on my console, which is what these are, 10 dollars is a godsend. I will more than willingly pay that for a fun timewaster on my Wii, I'm gonna be honest. Especially considering that the N64 selection blows balls and that the FF WiiWare game is 15 bucks. So it could be much, much worse.
Tetris and Dr. Mario a-go-go, baby! ;p
EDIT: And for a Pokemon freak like myself, 10 dollars is far superior to 30 or whatever the hell it was for Pokemon Box. Plus it's a cool gimmick, so I'll shell out the dough.

I'm not touching the Pokémon game with a barge pole. It's by Ambrella, who have an unbroken track record of making absolutely appalling Pokémon games.
I'd say Star Soldier R certainly tickles my fancy. I wasn't so keen on FF:CC on the Gamecube, so I'm not sure about this one.

When the hell did everybody become so cheap? Maybe because the Sony store (just an example) sells whole PSOne games for $6 (with the exception of Castlevania SotN which is $10 but...) |

And perhaps if Sony had sold them for slightly bit more or allowed imports, there might be more than a dozen PS1 games on PSN with all but 3 or so being from Sony's own back catalog. |

^ Yeah, that bit pisses me off. But you can play them on your PSP, which is awesome. Nintendo needs to at least come out with some sort of Wii to DS connectivity soon (besides just playing demos, and that's taking foreeeeeeever to arrive here.)
