The Shop Channel is always updated on Monday and Friday around 10 to 12 or something.
Also it's not like they can run out of copies of the game anyway.

Anyway, you guys do know that Sam & Max came out on a Friday? So unless WiiWare only gets update on Monday, we still have chance for a July release.

No, we're getting Pong Toss - Frat Party Games. It was originally gonna be "Beer Pong," but the Nintendo Censors wouldn't allow it!

Anyways, I can wait.
I waited for SSBB.
And for my Wii, actually.
I can wait for this indeed.
EDIT: Ironically(?), that episode of South Park where Cartman can't wait for the Wii was on last night. I wonder if he was planning on playing SBCG4AP.

I had to suppress a groan when I saw that game on the list today. I really, really cannot wrap my head around the reasoning behind a virtual drinking game. And I don't think I want to.

How can you play Beer Pong on a Wii? It's not like the console can make the ping pong ball fall into your cup of beer. And what's the point of playing Beer Pong if you're not drinking copious amounts of alcohol?

I think that - if I was in the mindset of a college kid (which I was, at one point) - that this would be an easy way to play beer pong without the mess.
Beer pong makes a mess and can be a pain to set up and then clean up, especially when already drunk... so if I was in the mindset of what I'm pretty sure is their target demographic, I'd be playing beer pong with real red party cups, a real keg of cheap beer, a strong desire to get plastered... and this game, instead of actual beer pong.

I once saw a Flash version of Beer Pong in my English Class. The guy on the row in front of me was playing it instead of working on his research paper. Like I said somewhere to somebody, Nintendo is picking games that will either sell well or be the absolute best.
LostWinds (An episodic game that was never meant to be one, at least not when i read about it) is extremely fun and makes excellent use of the WiiRemote's motion sensors. The puzzles in it were a bit simple, but it was a nice adventure while it lasted. I can't help but also compare that experience to BlockBreaker Deluxe, which is just a port of a PC game that sold really well. The game itself is a nice distraction, but it doesn't offer any reason to just sit, play, and enjoy what you are experiencing like SBCG or LostWinds.
It was with the mentality of a fun party game that would promote choosing it over alcohol that Nintendo prolly released Frat Party, you have to remember that even though some of their 1st party games are dark (maybe even sinister, such as Majora's mask) they are first and foremost a company that was born from a Toy Factory. And that makes the CEOs want to be a bit more kid friendly.

Sometimes to me those pictures on the shop channel are angering me. Ohh, look! Pong toss! You get to throw a ball in a cup! And it dosn't seem to use anything but buttons! That's way better then a cool game about a wrestle m'n!!! Really, a slap in my face...

Simplest solution in the world:
Don't look at Wii Shop more than once a week.

No, we're getting Pong Toss - Frat Party Games. It was originally gonna be "Beer Pong," but the Nintendo Censors wouldn't allow it!Actually, several crazy people from my county posted a complaint about the game having a "T" rating and having a title leading people to believe that it promoted drinking alcohol (age 13 vs. age 21). The game company later changed the title.
Nintendo is notorious for having absolute crap or games that very few want out on the Virtual Console and Wii Ware service in recent times. I'm probably not going to purchase anything else from the Shop Channel until they fix the storage issue, since transferring games to SD Cards takes about twenty times longer than it should, and deleting games to later redownload them gets rid of the save data and is just silly. Plus, each Strong Bad episode will probably take up nearly 200 blocks of memory, meaning that downloading all of the episodes would take up nearly half of the Wii's internal memory. Hooray for PCs!
InfamousDS

Save Games are separate from Channels, I know because I still have my Save data for Kirby64, even though I deleted the channel to make room for Ep.1.

Aye, you're correct. My apologies.
Still, though, I do not admire the process of deleting/redownloading.

yea, its tedious. but Nintendo was striving to make innovative gameplay, they got sidetracked on memory management and file sizes.

I heard that TTG is putting more stuff into the PC version (of ep1) because they have the time. Any chance we can get DLC stuff for WiiWare?

What you heard is wrong, they are identical in every way except Wii Message Board Features. DLC would compromise the already tiny memory of the average Wii Console. The only real reason to pick the PC is preference and the possibility of an end of season disc that is still an idea in progress, though it too could be Wii compatible.
