WiiWare Launch Games Confirmed for Europe

With the U.S. launch of WiiWare out of the way, Nintendo has announced the launch lineup for WiiWare when it launches in Europe next week. On May 20, Wii owners in Europe will find eight games available for download, the most noteworthy of which is the same as it is everywhere else: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King.

Just like in the U.S., prices on the games will vary from 500 - 1500 Wii Points. The launch lineup is as follows:

• Dr. Mario & Germ Buster (Nintendo, Puzzle, 1–4 players, 3+ PEGI)
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (Square Enix, Simulation, 1 player, 7+)
• LostWinds (Frontier, Platform Adventure, 1–2 players, 7+)
• Pirates: The Key of Dreams (Oxygen Interactive, Action, 1-4 players, 3+)
• Pop (Nnooo, Puzzle/Shooter, 1-4 players, 3+)
• Star Soldier R (Hudson Soft, Shooter, 1 player, 7+)
• Toki Tori (Two Tribes, Puzzle / Platform, 1–2 players, 3+)
• TV Show King (Gameloft, Trivia, TV Quiz, 1–4 players, 3+)

Doesn’t look like a bad selection; I’d certainly like to have seen Dr. Mario over here, but I’ll settle for Defend Your Castle. (I’ll gladly swap V.I.P. Casino: Blackjack for Dr. Mario or Star Soldier, though.)
