FFCC:MLAAK is the first game to have the Wii ‘Pay To Play’ logo. It comes up like a warning before you download it. I presume they’ve done that to keep the initial file size down, and they’re going to add to it later.
Also: Lonpos would appear to be the biggest rip-off ever.

Star Soldier R is brilliant, if very slight. It’s the Yoshi Touch And Go of vertically-scrolling shmups.
