Nintendo has released a list of eight games described as "launch window" titles ahead of WiiWare (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/category/wiiware/)'s debut in Europe on May 20th (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/24/brawl-wiiware-and-nintendo-channel-dated-in-europe/). Included are four games that the U.S. is still waiting on -- Dr. Mario & Germ Buster, Star Soldier R, Toki Tori, and Pirates: The Key of Dreams -- though it looks like Europe will be waiting a little longer for Defend Your Castle and V.I.P Casino: Blackjack. Frankly, we'll live without a blackjack game.
Once again, note that these are "launch window" games. How long is a launch window? No idea. "Launch window" is one of those infuriatingly flexible terms beloved by PR types. Anyway, the list of WiiWare games that Europe will be getting kinda near the launch is as follows:
Dr. Mario & Germ Buster (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/07/nintendo-prescribes-price-new-name-for-dr-mario/)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/13/my-impressions-as-a-king/)
LostWinds (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/05/lostwinds-trailer-blows-this-way-makes-us-sleepy/)
Pop (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/12/wii-fanboy-review-pop/)
Star Soldier R (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/16/yes-star-soldier-r-seeing-release-on-u-s-wiiware/)
TV Show King (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/03/31/gameloft-phoning-in-more-wiiware-ports/)
Pirates: The Key of Dreams (http://www.oxygengames.net/games/games_details.asp?gameid=44&gametitle=Pirates%3A+The+Key+of+Dreams)
Toki Tori (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/10/toki-tori-to-ruffle-feathers-in-u-s-wiiware-line-up/) There's currently no news on pricing, but we'd fully expect European WiiWare prices to match those of other regions, assuming Nintendo hasn't found a totally new and unique way to rip European gamers off.
