Topic: 1st DSi exclusive game!?! :D

Hey, I found this on jostiq.com! It's the first DSi exclusive game, And it's called Monster Finder...
This is what Joystiq says:

Just yesterday we heard that DSi-only retail games would be on the way soon. Today, Japanese publisher Alpha Unit announced the first one, Monster Finder -- though, since it was announced for Japan, we doubt it's one of the games being referred to yesterday!

Basically the only details available about Monster Finder right now are that it includes over 100 different varieties of monster and that those monsters are found with the DSi camera (hence the DSi exclusivity); and probably represented in-game by the scanner-gun thing seen in the teaser artwork. It's part Monster Rancher, part augmented reality. Monster Finder will be released sometime this winter in Japan.

So what do you think of it?

Basically another pokemon clone

I'm not even a huge fan of Pokemon, so still no definitive reason for me to upgrade to DSI just yet.

Yeah, but it doesn't sound bad... I mean it could've been much worse... with an Ubisoft cooking game or something

Exactly what I though when I saw the comments on Joystiq... But still could be fun... I think I get Ghostwire, and not this game..

Thanks for the news, KillTheHaterzzz

I didn't want to be useless here you know, and I couldn't find any topic for this... So I made one

Yeah, this is EXACTLY what ghostwire is. Just with monsters. And instead of $5 for a DSiWare game this will be a $30 Retail game. eww.

Yeah, nut maybe we don't even get this... Maybe it stays in Japan or something...

BTW who's making this game?

I can't believe Nintendo didn't make sure they had one for its launch, I hope some decent games get announced for it soon, maybe FF5 & 6 or even Phantasy Star 5(wishful thinking), hope its not going to be mostly party games.

The NintendoLife newspost said Ghostwire was DSiWare..

How so? The monsters? A lot of games have monsters you can capture, but they aren't Pokemon clones. Judging from the camera use, the gameplay will be different too, I think.
I don't think people should be worrying about the concept, but the content. I'm pretty sure this game would have more features and things than a $5 Ghost Wire anyway.I've heard a rumor from a forum member that DSi cartridges wouuld be larger than normal ones as well? If that is true, this game can (potentially...) have more than 128 MB worth of content, bigger than a huge DSiWare game (the biggest so far is under 20 MB and Nintendo raised the limit, but I doubt there will be anything larger than 100 MB, heck 50 MB).

Just thought you guys might want to see this

Ok, guys... check this out: http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=95157 Are ALL DSi-enhanced games going to be ghostwire rip-offs?

STAPLE GUUUN!! and the thing over the guy's right shoulder looks like something from ghost online.

@lunchmeats101

Yeah, I saw that too! Blerghh, Ghostwire was a nice concept, but can't the other's be original

@Roopa132

Hey Thanks! I wanna buy this game, no matter what it costs... It looks so freaky and scary... I want it soo bad!

@Roopa132: You could take advantage of the doubled CPU and quadrupled RAM, apparantly. I'd rather they did some of that instead of having three way-too-similar-sounding games.

I'd actually noticed that Ghostwire wasn't being advertised as DSiWARE (I guess I missed wherever on NLife it was claimed). It makes more sense retail, IMO. It always sounded too big for DSiWare to me.
