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.

Marcelo @ May 16th 2008 3:11PM

A good shooter. Not Star Soldier with the time limit, but maybe an Ikaruga or something?

I'm also looking forward to Dr. Mario Online Rx. Used to love Dr. Mario, and having it online? Big win!

World of Goo! But this looks pretty cool too. I don't know how I'll ever win one of these. With 250 replies..... well, I'll try my luck with one.

Beelzebozo @ May 16th 2008 4:45PM

Dr. Mario Online Rx is my most anticipated WiiWare release. I was saddened to see it miss out on the launch. Hopefully we get it next week.

LostWinds sounds interesting. Wind is my element.

APHughes @ May 16th 2008 5:30PM

I really want an Earthbound WiiWare game but I am looking forward to what the developers are going to do with new genres and types of game. I am looking forward to Dr Mario though. Playing online will be great.

Dan @ May 16th 2008 5:39PM

Strong Bad

maxgoetz2000 @ May 16th 2008 5:41PM

Dr. Mario Online, I can't way to play competitively with this game online. It's going to be a blast.

Meowser @ May 16th 2008 5:42PM

Am I the only one wanting to have a brand new Metal Arms game?
Oh well, at least these games can tide me over.

luis @ May 16th 2008 5:53PM

I'm looking forward to the Lost Winds sequel because the first one already looks awesome

luis @ May 19th 2008 3:22PM

lost winds the sequel

the camouflage marauder @ May 16th 2008 5:55PM

Personally, I'm kinda hoping for a return to the glory days of PC point and click type adventures. A Sierra type game like the King's Quest, Space Quest or Quest for Glory series', for example, could possibly do well, mixed together with elements from MMOs like Ultima (I have yet to see exactly how My Life as a King works, whether it is in that fashion of "online" world).

Seeing as how Myst has recently been touted for the DS, I could easily imagine a new Myst game with downloadable tasks, "secret" pages and worlds up for offer every now and then, similar to Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon.

I dunno, maybe its just wishful thinking on my part.... *sigh*
