Here’s the reason why Worms: Battle Islands is making the jump to retail
“With regards to Worms: Battle Islands for Wii, a title we announced some time back, it became increasingly clear that by switching the game from WiiWare to a boxed retail Wii title, we would be able to make the game available to as many Worms fans on the platform as possible. We are pleased that through the THQ Partners program, we will have a strong retail presence for Worms: Battle Islands on Wii coming into the important holiday season.” – Team17 statement
For awhile, I wasn’t interested in the Worms series at all. That is, until I tried a demo of Worms: Open Warfare 2 from the Nintendo Channel. From that point on, I was pretty much hooked… So much so that I must have kept my DS on for a month so that I wouldn’t lose the demo! I’m expecting Battle Islands to be just as enjoyable, and I’ll be picking up a copy when it releases.
