News: US WiiWare Launch Titles Finalised
Posted 10 May 2008 at 11:23 by Paul Muchmore
Nintendo confirms the WiiWare service's six launch titles. Find out what they are inside!
The WiiWare service is launching this Monday in the US and following a lot of debate and confusion, Nintendo has stepped in and announced the launch titles through a press release. We're not going to bore you with facts and quotes, so instead, sit back and anticipate the games you Americans out there will be able to buy come 12th May (and which Europeans will hopefully be able to buy on the 20th).
� Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King � 1500 Wii Points
� Lost Winds � 1000 Wii Points
� Defend Your Castle � 500 Wii Points
� Pop � 700 Wii Points
� VIP Casino: Blackjack � 700 Wii Points
� TV Show King � 1000 Wii Points
VIP Casino: Blackjack is a brand new title, and yet another WiiWare title from High Voltage Software. Supporting four players, the title allows you to take part in a Las Vegas blackjack tournament and win large rolls of virtual monies.
And that's it! We can't help but feel somewhat let down with Dr. Mario, Pokémon Ranch and Alien Crush being no shows, but let's not get too worked up about that. We'd like to remind our American readers that due to the launch of WiiWare there will not be a Virtual Console update this week.
