When someone asks you a question, "What is the best rated game ever in the history of video games?", what would you think? People would probably answer The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Bros., Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy VII, and the list goes on. But currently at this point every single answer would probably be wrong when the correct answer at this time is World of Goo.

Just recently released on the WiiWare, World of Goo has already become a big hit with it's constructive puzzle type game that will want you to come back more and more. According to Metacritic, World of Goo has an average of 97/100 (according to 6 reviews).

Sure, most of you will probably say, "That's only 6 reviews, give it time and it'll drop," and you are probably right. However, this still is pretty good overall rating for a game that just came out. You should keep a good eye on it and may be even purchase the game if you want to on WiiWare. For $15 and with such great reviews so far, this game may even feel more like a steal.

Three videos have been released for Cave Story Wii so far and have received large amounts of criticism from fans.

Video 1
Video 2
Video 3

The main differences between the original Cave Story for PC and this 'beta' Wii version are that the music is new composed of lame MIDIs (the original used special ORG files), Quote's sprite has been changed (this can be over looked), some of the sound effects are different, the 'transition' between rooms looks different and lastly, the font is different. I'm just hoping that the game reverts back to the music/sprites/fonts that the original PC version used.

Update: It has been confirmed by Pixel, the creator of Cave Story that the game will feature both a port faithful to the original and an 'enhanced' port.

Bub is back for Nintendo's downloadable service. A japanese WiiWare line-up was announced today at Nintendo's event.

Only God knows whether this is a remake or a totally new game. Many remember Bubble Bobble for the NES which was a great game in my opinion so maybe Taito can do great things with this game. Maybe some DLC for some new levels?

This august, Japanese gamers, business men and other target audiences of most energy drinks will be able to recharge their energy just like Mega Man does. To celebrate the upcoming release of Mega Man 9, Capcom announced the release of a "sports drink" in special E-Tank cans for 137 yen (about $1.26 US) each.

I don't think any other WiiWare title in the past has had its own energy drink, but then again, I don't think there's ever been a WiiWare title in the past that has been a sequel that people have been waiting ten years for. Now, I'm just hoping that the TNT Asian Market down at the mall will carry these...
