On the way next week

Thorium Wars, believe it or not, was released in North America in October 2009, and until now hadn't troubled European gamers' radars. Now the space adventure is set to land on European DSi consoles on Friday, October 8th, for a cheaper-than-in-North-America 800 Nintendo Points.

You can read our Thorium Wars review to find out more about this extremely polished and enjoyable intergalactic adventure. We enquired if any alterations had been made for the European release, and were told:

The entire game is intact, some tweaks have been made per player suggestions to make the game a little less difficult in some areas.

So there you have it.
