WiiWare World

i'm getting this for sure. i loved the nes original (in uni residence, that game was a religion. tons of people were playing it in the common rooms all day and night) and i'm definitely gonna love this one. i still play it on gameboy now and then.

I've never really been able to play a Dr. Mario game before so, I'll make sure to pick this one up.

I finally got to play the original Dr. Mario the other day for the first time. I don't know how it escaped me all these years, but I had a really hard time putting down the controller.

This will be AWESOME!

This is definitely on my wishlist.

Not sure about this one; I'm more waiting for Bomberman WiiWare than Dr. Mario.

I hope they put the original NES version out as well. This version looks really cool. Of course it's made by Nintendo, so it will no doubt be excellent.

Is it worth getting the original if this one comes out? Anyway, this new version looks real sweet. I would hate to also get the original and then see that's it's the same game as the new version.

It game looks great so far.

I have a feeling this will be the first WiiWare game....

"I have a feeling this will be the first WiiWare game...."
Let us hope so! This is, honestly, my second most hyped about WiiWare, right under Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Little King and the Promised Country, an awesome looking country-builder game!

"It's easy to be critical of a game you just have no hope in hell of getting in to. Not addictive; not aesthetically-pleasing; not fun. Dr. Mario is perhaps my least favourite game of all time. Admittedly, I've never played this edition, BUT LOOK AT IT. Dreadful."

That's what I sai about Dr. Mario 64 on my N64 tribute Bebo page. I'm applying it here too cause it'll be the exact same game!

Holy cow!!! They stole my mii in that screen lol.
I had Dr.Mario on GB and i enjoyed it. And since this has wifi i will probably get this.

Any Mii incorperation into a game looks cool, i just played Dr.Mario on the gameboy the other day... i cannot wait to get this..

Online vs mode?
mini-games?
mii support?
This might be the best Dr.Mario game yet.

"The title supports the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, allowing players to compete with one another over the Internet."

all my dreams...

This will became the Wiware KA!

Finally, another Dr Mario game. hopefully the other 2 will appear soon aswell

I have the old one on my NES and it rocks. I am downloading this ASAP when it releases

I just checked the Ninty website, and apparently, we won't see any of these games in the US until at least May 12th

@StarDust - That has been announced a few days, if not weeks, back. I'm okay with the May 12th release date. Why? In just one day, I will have SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL to hold me over!

If it has a good price I will be getting this.

Yes! This game has such a nostalgic element to it, for me... I am, once again, full of joy!

dr. mario and tetris on a new nintendo system? it's like i'm a kid again... too bad they messed with the fever music (i love the original fever music sooo much)...

Do we have an expected price for this yet?

@Jogurt the Yogurt. It will be 1000 points in Japan. Can't see them putting the price up for other regions.

I'd be all over this if it was not for the fact i'm essentially buying a game I already have twice only this time with Miis, a mostly ghost town Wi-Fi and that slide mode.

This is the only WiiWare game I'll probaly buy. I just hope It has the option to turn the Wiimote on it's side instead of using the motion sensor or I won't ever get a wiiware game

Dr. Mario will never stand a chance to tetris. Dr. Mario 64 was nice playing once or twice, but not worth spending money on. The wii-ware game will be nothing different.

a game that had me stopping to play instead of tetris

I think i'll get this even though im not a big fan of tetris

Looks a little strange compared to the original. Might have to get it though.

Really have to get this one. Here's my WiiWare Wish List:
-Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King
-Dr.Mario Germ Buster
-Everybody's Pokemon Ranch
-Tiki Tori
-Defend Your Castle
-Tetris
-Bomberman
and by the Way May 12 is when WiiWare comes to America!!!!
WAhoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though it's on WiiWare, it's good to know that there is a new Dr. Mario game. There hasn't been one since Dr. Mario 64. I wonder why the series was absent on the Gamecube compared to other Mario spin-offs?

I absolutely loved Dr Mario on the original Game Boy! I was only playing it the other day and managed to get up to level 19 out of 20. Will definitely be getting this for the Wii when WiiWare launches!

Wow, now it's $10? Ehh, not sure if I want it now

I just spent my last 1000 Wii Points on Ocarina. If I get some more, I'll pick this one up.

How good is Dr.Mario? Is it different then other puzzle games?

@ SuperSonic1990

Dr. Mario is a very highly rated game amongst puzzle games. It is seen as one of the best puzzle games of all time, for various reasons such as it great music and its sheer fun & advictivness. Along with the likes of Tetris, Dr. Mario is part of the 'cream of the crop' out of a countless number of puzzle games out there. Basically if you want a top quality puzzle game, get this .

Just checked the IGN website and it says that Dr. Mario Online RX will be out next week on the 19th of May.

That makes up for today's WiiWare lackluster launch then.

Well just to let u know that next week on the 19th of May were gonna get some cooler wiiware games as...

Dr. Mario
Star Soldier R
Toki Tori

Could it be that the feture supports aren't included yet? Beacause I heard about Mii Support, Wifi Support and a special Demo support

That's true but right now i'm all about online play despite not getting FFCC My Life as a King.

is this really coming out next week in the U.S or is it just a guess?

^ According to IGN it is.

I'm not getting this but I know someone who'd be all over this if he had a Wii.

Anyway, Dr. Mario Rx seems pretty good but personally, I don't think it's worth 1000 especially since I can see it getting repetitive after a while. I'm looking forward to other titles to worry about Dr. Mario.

Its gonna come out next week on the 19th cant wait!!... also some cool shooting game too called "Star Soldier R"

Yep yep.
Star Soldier R seems great but I'll save that for its game page.

As for Dr. Mario, what I love is how apparently, you can use WC24 to GIFT a Demo to your Wii Friends. Now I just gotta find someone who plans to get Dr. Mario to let me try the game.

@Knuckles. Me too, since I won't pony up for this latest version.

Heh, yeah. 1000 is just too much of an asking price even though it is a first-party release. Yeah, most don't know the game allows you to let your Friends try a demo of it which I think is a great idea.

This game seems to borrow a lot of sound effects from the relatively "underplayed" Dr. Mario 64. That is a good thing, though. I highly anticipate this, and I can't wait to play some Dr. Mario online.

I want it; i reserved 1000 ponts since March for this game

@Clayfrd
This title probably guarentees we wont get the N64 version on VC, since its this with less features. (assumption)

No, DR. Mario 64 has a story mode too, as far as I've heard this has only classic and online multiplayer, but I guess the NES and SNES version would be virtual dust traps

cant wait for this one! i used to play dr.mario 64 all the time. like my childhood all over again!

In europe it's called dr.mario & Germ buster... Is there a difference??

I can't wait for this game, its by far my most anticupated WiiWare game so far.

I've been playing Dr. Wario (an unlockable version on GBA Wario Ware inc. of the NES Dr. Mario with Wario as the doc, limited music and different faced virus') a lot recently because I'm very hyped about this game.

@Bensei sure Dr. Mario 64 has story mode, which this game doesn't (presumably) but I'd take Virus Buster, Mii support and online multiplayer over story mode any day.

@MrLopez
Nope, only silly name changes

@Objection_Blaster (50) I seriously doubt we'll get Dr. Mario 64 as well. I have Dr. Mario 64, though, and I was saying the sounds were directly borrowed from said game. IMHO, Dr. Mario 64 is the best Dr. Mario, and I hope this is just as good or better. It looks fantastic, and the new controls look promising.

Dr. Mario 64 = Doubt it. But my friend is a huge enthusiast of DM64 so he'd be all over this if he had a Wii.

Dr. Mario 64 also had the insane 4p versus mode, which was frantic, crazy and one of its best features.
Objection Blaster, as a Dr. Mario junkie, I intend on getting this the moment it releases. I'm willing to share my Wii Friend code with you if you like.

Yes, and that's why my friend loves it so much. Heh.

Objection_Blaster: Can I have your Wii Number?

As a matter of fact, do we know what the region limitations are for this "demo gift" service is? I'd gladly get friend codes of those interested.
(To test once this comes out, I mean)

Edit: MAN I'M SOME KIND OF IDIOT. I have no idea why I didn't notice your flag was for Canada, KnucklesSonic8. I'll share mine with you, too if you'd like. BTW, is there some kind of PM system or is that forum only?

Yeah, someone I know plans to gift the demo to me because I'm interested to try it out.

And yes, Canada, ftw!
And I also wish there was a PM system here. But anyway, you can email me at knucklessonic8@gmail.com if you like to exchange Wii Numbers. I can add you when I get home later.

But my Wii Number, just in case, is: 6999 4383 2199 5308
Email me yours or if not, post it here. thanks.

Email sent. Gmail ftw!

I really hope this game comes out this Monday DX.

Hey how come it says USA Release Date TBA now and not May 19th???

Man we better get this game on monday man and ive been waiting for this to come, download and play it too!!... please give this to us on monday and i dont want to wait anymore!!!!

It seems as if now this won't come out on Monday in the USA. You never know though, all that could change!
