I love SHMUPs and was excited about Star Soldier R, but after Wiki’ing it one day I was highly disappointed with what I read. I agree with what Atlantis says compared to other SHMUPs (YEAH I KNOW, IT’S ONLY $8 XD). I’ll pick up Castle of Shikigami 3 instead.

I just wish Star Soldier R had more features than what I have been hearing. I know I know, it’s just a 800 point game, but I can get more from a VC SHMUP (Waiting for Cho Aniki, :gasp: ) than I would with this WiiWare SHMUP. At least it looks pretty. ;p

Nothing there for me this week, though I may pick up My Life as a King from last week. Wii Fit is coming from Amazon, though, so I don’t feel any urgency to get more stuff right now.

My weekend project was copying ALL my previous downloaded VC games over to my SD card so that I can delete them from the Wii and free up blocks for WiiWare and Wii Fit’s channel. Copying TO the SD card takes forever (5 or 6 *minutes* for a ~250 block game), but copying back FROM the SD card is much faster, so from now on the SD card is going to hold everything I buy, and I’ll just copy over whatever I want to play that day. It isn’t perfect but it’ll do until Nintendo gets us a solution.

Nada as well.

Waiting patiently for Dr. Mario.

I’m pretty sure there are no demos. They are putting decent video previews on the Nintendo Channel though. It’s not great, but it’s something.

I love SHMUPs, so Star Soldier is a must buy for my. I don’t get the critter game – is there any video? If it’s anything like zoo keeper, I’m interested.

I pre-ordered wii fit. Not sure Amazon is going to get it to me on time, though. They always take too many pre-orders!

Does anyone remember if Nintendo plans to offer demos of WiiWare titles?
