Virtually Free: Slightly to the left of normal

by Alisha Karabinus { May 13th 2008 at 10:15AM }

This week's a little different for the Virtual Console, so it's a little different for Virtually Free as well. What's new? Well, for starters, we're not giving away a Virtual Console game. Instead, we're celebrating the release of WiiWare by giving away LostWinds (1000 Wii points/$10)!

So what do you have to do to win? First of all, you have to leave a comment (with a valid e-mail address) on this post telling us what you're looking forward to most of the announced WiiWare titles. Second, you must be a legal resident of the United States with an American Wii (sorry, Canadians, we have to leave you out of this one; blame the gifting system and not us!) and 18 years of age or older. You may enter once per day between now and Monday, May 19; the contest comes to a close that night at 11:59 PM Eastern time, and we'll select a winner in a random drawing the next day. Questions? Check out the official rules.

Animales de la Muerte (sorry if that is not spelled right my spanish is not quite up to speed) looks to be one of the more fun and interesting titles I've seen in a long time. Zombie animals in a Mexican zoo with coop play? Count me in!

Go1denchi1d @ May 13th 2008 10:22AM

Oh no! You beat me to the first comment!

Go1denchi1d @ May 13th 2008 10:22AM

Bomberman hands down! Oh, oddly enough that bubble wrap game entices me. Now if they had a bubble wrap accessory...

Mike @ May 13th 2008 10:22AM

Dr Mario

Francis @ May 13th 2008 10:23AM

I'm just looking forward to some fun, ORIGINAL games that would never make it at one of the big publishers.

Brandisis @ May 13th 2008 10:23AM

Defend Your Castle.

Go1denchi1d @ May 13th 2008 10:27AM

That game is awesome. My hands are still hurting from playing so long!

Matthew @ May 13th 2008 10:29AM

Hey I want to see the Everybody's Pokemon Ranch to come to the WiiWare title line up.

Unbreakable_idea @ May 13th 2008 10:24AM

Animales de la Muerte
Serously, this is the first game to make me insanely interested in Wiiware. In fact, I've had my Wii for a year now and have yet to buy a single points card. This game, barring terrible reviews, will definitely change that. I'm officially suped for Wiiware!

sly @ May 13th 2008 10:25AM

My Life as a King. As soon as I have some spare cash.

JeWon @ May 13th 2008 10:45AM

FF:CC and Dr. Mario.

racecar @ May 13th 2008 10:29AM

FFCC

CJC @ May 13th 2008 10:29AM

I'm a Bomberman fan for life.

chad @ May 13th 2008 10:30AM

lostwinds

jkeeler @ May 13th 2008 10:32AM

defend your castle, i loved the flash version and can't wait to play this one

Ray Ray @ May 13th 2008 10:32AM

Bomberman

igorponweed @ May 13th 2008 10:44AM

Dang it! Just got the game! Oh well. I still want to say I am hyping Bruiser and Scratch and Animals.

TheCoats @ May 13th 2008 10:35AM

Bomberman and Dr. Mario

I use to play bomber man on my TI-89 back in high school.......

Hughesmar @ May 13th 2008 10:35AM

Definitely Tetris and Dr. Mario.

John Stout @ May 13th 2008 10:35AM

Dr. Mario

Tesche @ May 13th 2008 10:35AM

I'm looking forward to several...so I'll post a different one each day...today I'll start with My Life as a King.....

Estrada @ May 13th 2008 10:36AM

My Life as a King intrigues me (probably because I'm a Squenix mark).

Alisha Karabinus @ May 13th 2008 10:39AM

Anyone noticed that today is totally not Wednesday? FREE EXTRA ENTRIES FOR EVERYONE.

Mr. Scolex @ May 13th 2008 10:39AM

I feel almost ashamed to admit that, although Dr Mario, Bomberman, and the updated Wario's Woods all tickle my fancy (Wario's Woods was my first VC purchase. It never got the fanfare it deserved, IMO), I am most eagerly awaiting the Pokemon Ranch game. Watching my horrible, beefed up, steroid-addicted pokemon run around as chibis and interact with each other in a friendly manner somehow appeals to me far more than I feel it should.

bojddo @ May 13th 2008 10:39AM

Has to be Dr Mario - missed out on the NES craze

josh @ May 13th 2008 10:41AM

Balls of goo!

crimsonedge38 @ May 13th 2008 10:42AM

My Life as a King is, probably, the game I'm most looking forward to playing. After that, Lostwinds looks like something a bit different. Tied with that, probably, is Dr. Mario. It's easily my favorite puzzle game.

NYCowboy @ May 13th 2008 10:42AM

I love the VC games and this should be a good one

Alex @ May 13th 2008 10:42AM

definitely looking forward to the Strong Bad game :)

kevin @ May 13th 2008 10:42AM

Definitely looking forward to playing Defend Your Castle.

GatorSax2010 @ May 13th 2008 10:42AM

Dr. Mario-For some reason, I never owned it in any of its iterations (except for "Dr. Wario" in the first WarioWare game).

PhoenixGeek @ May 13th 2008 10:43AM

Dr. Mario

cytorak @ May 13th 2008 10:44AM

Dr. Mario, for sure.

perfectecho @ May 13th 2008 10:48AM

Eternity's Child. (and Lost Winds)

I came up with right side scrollers and seeing them re-emerge in exciting ways through wiiware is excellent

both of those look great

Sisyphus @ May 13th 2008 10:46AM

Definately World of Goo, but I'm excited about a lot of coming games, as well as the potential for new directions.

shawn @ May 13th 2008 10:49AM

dr mario

Vincent Strode @ May 13th 2008 10:47AM

Animalias de la muerte (or what ever it is called), and SBCGFAP.

ProfWho @ May 13th 2008 10:48AM

Lostwinds is really what I am looking forward to the most.

allen @ May 13th 2008 10:54AM

Pop. :D

GIJeff @ May 13th 2008 10:51AM

I'm looking forward to seeing if any indie devs can make better use of Nintendo WFC than Nintendo has

Rich Higgins @ May 13th 2008 10:52AM

Dr. Mario is what I am looking forward to most.

robert graziadei @ May 13th 2008 10:53AM

i think lostwinds is going to be one of the great games
offered for wii ware line up on the wii

Katie @ May 13th 2008 10:54AM

Dr. Mario and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles

mgroves @ May 13th 2008 10:54AM

I'm looking forward to some multiplayer Dr. Mario action

Peter S @ May 13th 2008 10:54AM

Dr. Mario. My wife is actually eagerly anticipating this. She has been since we got our Wii, actually (and it wasn't even a rumor then). :)

Sam & Max after that, maybe.
