World of Goo now available on WiiWare News
Wii News by Tom Bramwell
Nintendo has updated the Wii Shop with the long-awaited flappy-arm version of 2D Boy's excellent World of Goo.
Although it's a relatively whopping 1500 Wii Points (GBP 10.50 / EUR 15 approx), that's not that bad when you consider the PC version's USD 20 price tag, which is about 400 quid at today's exchange rate.
We'll have a Wii review of World of Goo, in which you build towers and other structures out of balls of goo, soonish. In the meantime, you can check out our World of Goo PC review.
Elsewhere there's the third game in the Art Style series, Orbient. Like its Art Style comrade Rotohex, it's a remake of a Bit Generations game, in this case Orbital. Players try to grow a star by absorbing other stars, apparently.
We'll be taking a look at all three Art Style games - the other one we haven't mentioned is called Cubello - in the near future as well. Orbient costs 600 Wii Points (GBP 4.20 / EUR 6 approx).
Otherwise, there's also Niki - Rock 'n' Ball at 500 Wii Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5 approx) to consider. It's from the makers of Plattchen: Twist 'n' Paint, apparently, and there's some footage on YouTube to help make your mind up.
Finally, for those of you with more Wii Points than sense, there's Sudoku Challenge! for 500 Wii Points as well.

"It would be very tough to play with a controller I'd imagine."
Indeed. I can't see how it would be possible without a mouse/wiimote pointer. It would be as clunky as playing a lightgun game with an analogue stick. World of Goo is a must have. I'm enjoying orbient as well. Nice to see some more quality games coming to wiiware. |

World Of Goo is great fun - didn't think it was quite as amazing as some made out, but it's certainly well worth playing.

picked up world of goo and orbient, world of goo will probably end up standing alongside layton as my fave game of the year i accidentally played it till 4am when i should have been doing uni work. orbient is strangely relaxing and addictive. i do really like the artstyle games, i think Rotohex is my fave one so far.
