In Bit Boy!! the cheat is kind of thing you can find out - but the cheats in PLÄTTCHEN - twist 'n' paint (around 10) are hidden as good as it can be! (different words on different places in the profile section) so noone can ever find out. Maybe we will release some as a X-Mas present ... we will have to discuss it.

In Niki there is a cheat for true invincibility and of course to get all your lives back ;-) zwinkerndes Kirby

Is this game being re-released on WiiWare? I noticed on the Nintendo Channel that it is showing up on the new releases list with a date set for December this year.

Or is it more likely that someone at Nintendo has pressed the wrong button whilst leaning over the keyboard for their sandwich? XD lachendes Kirby

This december? Great News =D lachendes Kirby

additional advertisement =D lachendes Kirby

but hey, isn't the Video Trailer still online there?
Let's hope Nintendo will not correct this typo.

Haha! That's what I thought too, great free advertisement! ;) zwinkerndes Kirby

It's at the top of the New Releases list (and will be for some time, I imagine! Haha!) with a 19/12/09 release date. Unfortunately there are no videos or anything though.

Is it Nintendo who decide to put the videos on or do you get to have a say at all? I presume it's up to them but it'd be nice if they asked for your input, for example getting a trailer on there! B) cooles Kirby

I am sure ther IS a Niki - Rock 'n' Ball trailer video online! I remember myself watching it some months ago. Maybe it has gone invisible because of it's 'new release date'? maybe there are 2 Niki - Rock 'n' Balls now in the database and one has the video?

Nope. Sorry. Just looking now as I type this. There is only Bit Boy!! that has a video out of your 3 titles, and the Niki Rock 'n' Ball section is the one that's always been there, just with an amended release date for 2009. Seems odd. 8-O geschocktes Kirby

Ah, sorry - I thought you were in the US lachendes Drop-Kirby

The PAL-NintendoChannel is totally different and it needs a lot of work to get a video online there. That is the reason why there are just a few Videos online (compared with the US-NintendoChannel). Now we firstly were able to create a Bit Boy!!-Video for the PAL-NintendoChannel we will try to create Niki - Rock 'n' Ball and PLÄTTCHEN Videos too

Why is that, due to languages and things? You'd expect Nintendo Europe to work the same as Nintendo of America, wouldn't you? But they're all so different to one another.

Did Niki or any other game get translated into Japanese then or will they never see a release over there?

I'd like to hear Niki speak Japanese B) cooles Kirby

Niki speaks German-Ball-ish all the time ;-) zwinkerndes Kirby

Japanese Market cannot be done by companies not located there. If a publisher wants Niki for WiiWare in Japan then it is possible.

Time to be the bringer of bad news again:

You know how Niki Rock 'n' Ball got an 8/10 on NintendoLife?

Look again.
THEY CHANGED IT.

It's now a 5/10.

That's all. ò.ó böses Kirby

We noticed that they changed it - and you can see that in many forums, on metacritics.com etc. that still display the original review. They even try to pretend that they made the new review in 2008 - The new reviewer didn't even own our game by then (he told me some time in the past). Additionally, they also deleted all comments that in any way refered to the old review.

WiiWare-World.com/NintendoLife.com attacked Bplus so many times directly and indirectly that we will not continue to collaborate with them in the future.

Sycoraxic98 · Posted: 15.05.2010 19:23 Post subject:

Yeah

All in all I think that's the best decision.

I wonder how long it'll be before they change the 'Good' First Impressions for Bit Man!!?

WHY would they do something like that? Is there any other game that has been RE-REVIEWED? What a joke. How can anyone take anything they say seriously anymore?

I actually started a topic on their forum titled "Re-Reviewed Wiiware games", and asked what the policy is for games being re-reviewed. I never mentioned the game Niki at all. Lo and behold, the topic was deleted 30 minutes later, and my comment under the new review was deleted as well. Neither comment was vulger in nature, or contained anything wrong. WTF?

The story will go on... as you know all the people on the planet had been transformed into balls through the black shadow plattchen. But where is shadow there also is light - an Niki found a ZeLeli-Amulet with a ZeLeLi shape bumped into - so the powerful ZeLeLi must be there. Niki saved the village as a Ball ... so the next game starts with Niki as a ball. The black shadow plattchen never sleep so there will be some surprises.

The successor of Niki - Rock 'n' Ball will be a slightly different genre as we always try something completely new with every game we make. It will be definitely an action arcade game - but with a new focus and a lot of new and unseen gameplay elements. So stay tuned!

Wait, so Niki's sequel is confirmed then?

WiiBoy · Site Admin Joined: 15 Sep 2008 Posts: 398 Location: Vienna

Confirmed for what and when? Just answered the storyline-question. Niki looks

Huh. I didn't think it was confirmed to even exist, let alone have a confirmed storyline! @_@ verwirrtes Kirby
