Yeah, I noticed that Monday when I downloaded CJS. Usually, they show the new games at the welcome screen at the dsi shop.

I noticed it. It's a little sad, considering most gamers may not notice new games like CJS and instead waste their points on crap, but considering I'll still buy stuff even if it isn't on the front page it's not worth losing sleep over it.

Exactly.

Yeah, now I have to always go several screens later into the New Additions section to find the new releases. It wastes time, but whatever.

I keep getting Flight Control, Uno, Scrabble and Link 'n' Launch. Maybe it judges based upon your purchase history as to what games it "recommends"?

I think it would be better if the put up the newest ones first too. That's the best way to sell them, since the "Recent Titles" option is hidden away pretty well.

^ Yep. It even says at the bottom of the news which point category each game can be found in.

Mine is recommending Flight Control, Faceez, Flipper, and Spotto (Ontario, Canada.) So basically anything that starts with the letter F.

Spotto starts with the letter F? Must be a Canadian thing.

Faceez, Scrabble, Fieldrunner, Hangman...

Yes, the previous one (that show newest addition + MvDK) is better I think...

For me it's Faceez, Scrabble, Extreme Hangman and Legends of Exidia.

I'm pretty sure that is a factor. How much your list will actually differ can depend on how much other stuff you've already downloaded (nothing you already have will appear, of course, and more purchases would equal better idea what you like), too. It will sometimes put more recent games up there, but that's probably mostly because it thinks you'll like them.

My current list:

  • Glow Artisan
  • Aura-Aura Climber
  • Flight Control
    Faceez

Hmm...at least three of us with that one list. Interesting...

I suspect some companies could be paying a small fee to remain on the front page. I can't help but notice that certain games from this list are appearing on other people's lists as well.

Stuffgamer - Your theory seems logical. Considering all of the money Gamelion and Neko Entertainment are (supposedly) making with their games, Flight Control's wild sucess on the App store, and probably Powerhead Games's (probably) dissapointing Glow Artisan sales, it wouldn't surprise me if those companies are paying Nintendo to try to make some more dough.

Exactly.

Mine is Aura-Aura Climber, Flight Control, Faceez, and Flipper.

I do own Glow Artisan, which would explain why that isn't one of my recommendations. I'll have to see if anything changes after my next purchase.
