VC Friday: Fun! Fun! Strong Bad!

With our shelves and Wii fridges creaking under the weight of new games from the holidays, Nintendo has generously given PAL gamers a week to catch their breath -- at least, we think that's the idea. Both WiiWare titles this week probably only appeal to a handful of people. The fifth and final episode of Strong Bad Episode 5 is great, obviously, but only if you're in the teensy minority who grabbed the first four instalments.
Meanwhile, Fun! Fun! Minigolf is allegedly so fun that maker Shin'en felt the need to tell us of its fun-ness twice over. But is a zany-looking chibi minigolf game really the title to stop us from getting our fingers gooey? Hint: no.
- Strong Bad Episode 5: 8-Bit is Enough -- WiiWare -- 1000 Wii Points
- Fun! Fun! Minigolf -- WiiWare -- 900 Wii Points

I feel awful about this, but I've been waiting to see if they release a boxed copy of this for 30 bucks like they did Sam and Max.
I know, I should be supporting Wiiware and episodic gaming and all that, I just think that these are $2 too much per episode. If they were 800 points apiece I would have picked up every one. Cheesy, I know. Sorry Strong Bad!

Actually, I agree with you and is why I stay away from Episodic content. Great in theory, but good God can it get expensive. And then, it happens. They get released as one, and sometimes cheaper.
There's always the wait for the next release as well, if/when they happen.

Why didn't you guys review Target Toss Pro: Bags? I've heard some good things about that one.
