On The Shelves This Week 04.20

Excitebots: Trick Racing comes out today. It seems like we heard the title existed just a few weeks ago. Dr. Mario on the DSiWare is also out today, and Crystal Defenders R1 hits on WiiWare, but for 800 pts, I’d recommend getting it on the Xbox360, since this one is only part 1 of 3.

Check out the rest of the releases after the break.

Lode Runner is supposedly the XBLA game… That looked quite good, hope it turns out.

Nintendo really needs to ease up on the size restrictions for reasons such as this, especially since some indie companies are simply not bothering with Wiiware for this reason. XBLA had similar restrictions, but eased them for Castlevania:SotN and I assume others now.

Easy ebough to say, but the Wii doesn’t currently have the room on it to do so.

Come on Excitebots, full of wonderful racing.

Though I still wish it had a DS version.

Judging by the video, 101 in 1 looks somehow good. And it’s just 20$.

I’m hoping with the new SD card setup that they’ll relax. MS didn’t really do so until larger memory cards were made available.

What’s the WiiWare limit right now, 40 megabytes? Now that we can load games off the SD card, they should definitely increase it by at least a bit. 100 megabytes would be ideal, but at this point I’d even take 70.
