The WiiWare demo service arrives in Europe today, though a bit light on content compared to other regions. On the upside, both of the demos offered are for games that cost 1,500 Wii Points, which means you could save a pretty large chunk of change if you discover (somehow) that you don’t like World of Goo.
In terms of stuff you pay for, Shootanto is going to be totally overshadowed by Pokemon Rumble. DSiWare has a decent selection of games, including something that looks kind of like Defend Your Castle, a few card games, and myNotebook.
- Pokemon Rumble (WiiWare, 1-4 players, 1,500 Wii Points)
- Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem (WiiWare, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)
- Army Defender (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
- A Little Bit of … All-Time Classics: Strategy Games (DSiWare, 1 player, 500 DSi Points)
- myNotebook: Blue (DSiWare, 1 player, 200 DSi Points)
- Uno (DSiWare, 1-6 players, 500 DSi Points)
- Demos: Pokemon Rumble, World of Goo (free)

It’s an unexpectedly packed week for Nintendo downloaders! On WiiWare, there’s a game that should be wonderful and another that should be, uh, interesting. There’s an arcade classic on Virtual Console, and DSiWare features the arrival of one of the weirdest game series to be announced at E3: a set of five games based on NHK mascot and generally adorable monster Domo-kun.

We never expected to see Grand Prix Games’ WiiWare light gun game, Shootanto, leave Japan, and we certainly never expected it to be published by Hudson, a company with plenty of internally developed WiiWare games to release.
In case you’re not familiar with the game (now being called Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem), a game we previously said “looks hilariously ill-conceived and poorly made, and is probably great fun to play and laugh at”: it’s a shooter about monkeys fighting giant plants and lizardmen. As your monkey progresses through the game, it evolves into a missing-link creature, a caveman, a knight, and finally into a modern soldier. All of whom shoot at lizardmen.
Hudson plans to release the game sometime this fall, and it could find an audience if the company markets it as a B-movie experience. Of course, since it’s a WiiWare game, nobody’s going to market it at all. If it does manage to become a success, it could lead to more localization of niche Japanese WiiWare games from Hudson. Like the Shootanto sequel!
