Cool! Been waiting for Swords & Soldiers for months now.  I'm going to have to go blackmail someone into getting me some Wii points now.

And for some unearthly reason, that Fish 'em Up game kind of looks good.  If that were a couple points cheaper I could have considered that as an impulse buy.  Very curious to see what kind of reviews it gets.

Is Swords and Soldiers like Castle Crashers?  If so, I'm buying immediately.

i bought swords and soldiers 2-3 weeks ago when it was made available on the EU virtual console but i haven't played it yet.  it looks nice and colourful though.

i also agree that the fish em game also looks strangely appealing.
