Critter Round-Up (WiiWare)

Critter Round-Up

Developed by Los Angeles, CA-based Epicenter Studios, Critter Round-Up is a puzzle game for up to four players. Players are challenged with building fences to separate different critter species into their own area, while avoiding predators and other mischievous animals attempting to stop you from rounding them up.

Players can corral exotic critters from five environments encompassing 50 levels, with gameplay modes including a co-op Adventure Mode as well as special co-op challenges for up to four players. There's also a Marathon Mode that supports up to four layers on a nearly infinite number of levels, as well as a collection of Critter Games, an entertaining selection of mini games such as Snowball Soccer and Predator Rampage.

This was the second biggest Wiiware game (302ish blocks), so why's it 500 points? Oh well.

I enjoyed Volfied so this game would have been a download for me if it was a smaller size.

I can't believe they are actually bringing it to America? That's suprising, but I'm not interested at all frankly.

The most suprising thing is it was developed by Americans making it the only WiiWare launch title in Japan to be made by non-Japanese developers.

Its 1-4 players and I thought it was 1000 points, not 500.

It looks like it will be a half way decent game, but i'm confused is it 1000 Wii Points or 500?

302 blocks!? Nintendo needs to solve the memory storage problem soon.

Yeah, I heaerd 1000 also. Unless they plan to change the pricing when they localize it for our region, which I doubt.

In any case, I'm getting this for my sib and the mini-games seem fun. Especially the Snake/Kron-esque mini-game.

it was 1000 in Japan. *cites wikipedia and IGN
@Knuckles, check gameplay videos. it looks slow/boring IMO

Yep, I know it may seem "boring" and "slow" but I've seen hands-on video impressions of it and the mini-games seem fun. The main game alone seems to have quite a bit of depth. That being said, my sib wants it, that's why mostly but the mini-games seem pretty fun on their own.

And if it was 1000 in Japan (yep, that's why I said I heard it was 1000), does that mean it's surely going to be 1000 for our region?

Yes likely. Very rarely do the prices change and that is usually licensing fees. It's usually a dollar or two.

The only games that ever change prices are IMPORT titles as far as I"ve seen
