The "European WiiWare Release Date Prediction" Thread

[WiiMan192]

The title says it all! Feel free to post your predictions for the weekly European WiiWare releases. If you have any queries regarding the rules or components of this thread, please feel free to either PM me or post here. Please read the rules before posting any predictions. Predict away!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules:

- Max. 3 guesses per week.
- In the case where the PAL region's releases are split (eg. AUS does not receive Niki - Rock 'n' Ball while EU does), the European releases will only count.
- No points will be distributed if you correctly predicted another region's releases (JAP, US, AUS/NZ etc.).
- You MAY predict according to press releases.
- No prizes will be awarded. The only exception may be a virtual cookie sent by PM. If invisible money was a universally accepted currency, I guess I would have the decency to distribute proper prizes.
- Downloadable Content (DLC) are not actual games, so they will not be considered in predictions. Please do not predict DLC!
- Please format your posts like the entries here under 'Predictions'. This makes thinngs easier to collate and to understand.
- Do not edit your posts; instead, create a new post with your changes, eg. + LostWinds, - Toki Tori.
- Every quarter (three months) a new competition will start, and I will announce the winners of the previous quarter.
- Points will be distributed according to number of correct predictions (see below)

Point Distribution:

Three-Game Update - 2 extra points

- Three Predictions correct - 5 points
- Two Predictions correct - 3 points
- One Prediction correct - 1 point

Two-Game Update - 1 extra point

- Two Predictions correct - [U5 points[/U]
- One Prediction correct - 3 points

One-Game Update - 3 extra points

- One Prediction correct - 5 points

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scoreboard:

1. []: 0
2. []: 0
3. []: 0
4. []: 0
5. []: 0

Please note that predictions for this week close on 15th October 2009 12:00AM GMT.

[Mr.Game and Watch]

I think:
Oct.10
Art Style Orbient
Midnight Bowling
Tetris Party.

[Yasume]

You should make up some rules, like a max. of 3 guesses. You should also add points. I'd say something like this:

1 game right = 1 point
2 games right = 3 points
3 games right = 5 points

You can change it if you like.

My guess for October 10:

- Art Style: Orbient
- MadStone
- Midnight Bowling

I know one thing DLC for MM9

[WiiMan192]

@ Yasume

Thanks for that, I'll try to work out a system, I didn't want to put too much effort into it if it wasn't popular. (not that I'd call this popular)

@720BOMBER

Thanks for sharing that with us, but I'm afraid I can't call that a prediction; it's due to the fact that it doesn't appear on the Wii Shop in substance (there may be a news article on the front page, but that's it) and it is not a fully-fledged actual WiiWare GAME. Don't worry, I'm only just establishing the rules, so it's alright

And thanks to everyone for their predictions!

[WiiMan192]

Sorry for the double-post but...

* bump *

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Art Style: ORBIENT
MadStone
Midnight Bowling

[WiiMan192]

Thanks Jogurt, no-one replied for a while there I added you to the scoreboard which should be fully operational after the 10th's update.

And good luck to everyone! It will be interesting to see who is the luckiest predictor

[Shortay]

Art Style: Orbient
Midnight Bowling

[WiiMan192]

Thanks, Shortay, but I'm afraid DLC doesn't count. I will allow you to edit your post this once if you wish to replace it with another game * edits rules explaining this*

[Angelic Lapras King]

I m game

Space Invaders Get Even
Midnight Bowling
Art Style: Orbient

[Trapster]

Fun! Fun! Minigolf!
Madstone.
Protoman DLC.

[WiiMan192]

If tomorrow comes without you changing Mega Man 9 DLC to another game, I will only accept the two valid predictions

That's fine; I wasn't really counting it as one of my predictions anyway, just something I think'll be released all the same.

[WiiMan192]

Don't worry, I knew they were formatted differently for a reason
And congrats, you're the first one predicting < 3 games! Talk about game.

Actually, speaking of which, for next update I'll alter the rules so that those who also predict the correct number of games get respective points

Good job on the rules and scores. It looks really good.

Thanks, I'm trying to keep it as fun and fair as possible

[Yasume]

Wow, no one was expecting that this week would have been that crap. Seriously, this must have been the worst WiiWare week ever.

Yeah... it shows how high our expectations are in regards to WiiWare releases

Anyway, its good to finally have this fully up-and-running Anyone willing to predict? Any takers, any takers

Yea, sure. I expect 3 games to come out this time after this, so:

Fun! Fun! Minigolf (Shin'en Multimedia)
Strong Bad - Episode 3: Baddest of the Band (Telltale Games)
Tetris Party (Tetris Online, Inc)

[WiiMan192]

You know what, I'll be game and edit my predictions too

October 17 is a VC update and World of Goo is only coming out in the US. (It will be a retail game in Europe).

[WiiMan192]

max herman, please, this once, edit your post

Just read Yasume's post ^ and fix it. Thanks

[Yasume]

With the release of Art Style: Cubello, there's a good chance that Art Style: Rotohex hits the WiiWare service next week and that Nintendo decides to give us all the 3 Art Styles on October 24.

There is definitely a chance, but, knowing Nintendo, they'd drag it out

[WiiMan192]

Sorry 'bout the double post, but I've noticed that no one's predicted in *calculates* exactly one week! Come on, you wimps! Waiting for the NA releases, eh? Nuts to that!

Anyway, I expect that in a few hours to a day's time the predictions will be gushing in

And this thread has officially been Stickied! What an honour!

Please remember that predictions for this fortnight close on 23rd October at 11:00PM GMT

And don't be shy, residents of NA, SA, AUS, NZ, JAP... etc!!! It doesn't matter where you're from, you can predict all the same.

[Shortay]

I predict:

Art Style: Orbient
Strong Bad Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands
Tetris Party

[WiiMan192]

That's the spirit

You like to predict two-game weeks, don't you, Shortay? I found it funny how we had a three-games-a-week phase for a while until you predicted two

*KARMA*
*COINCIDENCE*

You decide!

Any old member can guess a 3-game week, but I like to live dangerously.

[Jirachi720]

I hope it's:
Tetris Party,
Mega Man DLC (obviously),
Impossible Maze (or whatever the name is) and maybe
Strong Bad Episode 3 Battle of the Bands

[WiiMan192]

I have changed the rules: Don't edit your posts, just create a new post with your changes

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Tetris Party
Art Style: ORBIENT

[Yasume]

Yes, you may edit your posts, but there is a catch: EDITS MUST CEASE 24 HOURS BEFORE THE PREDICTION DEADLINE! So on the 22nd at 11 00pm GMT, no more edits, or that posts will not be counted to that respective update.

I'm gonna edit mine now

Thanks, I needed that!

Yea, too bad that he isn't able to edit anymore.

[Jirachi720]

I'm right on 2
Tetris Party (correct)
MegaMan DLC (correct)

I'm hoping for
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 3 Battle of the Bands (that must be the longest game title in the world)
And...
The Incredible Maze (Which isn't all that Incredible)

Boo for time limits! It's not like I have the press release here. Oh well, I guess I'll take an accidental two-game week this time.

You can't EDIT and CHANGE your previous games, but I'll let you post again and add one game Hurry! You've got a bit over an hour!!!

Oh, and I believe that 720BOMBER's banned, so I won't count his predictions.
