@labrat7: Have you looked into any of the Art Style games? They're 500 points each and are mostly fantastic. I would give my full recommendation to any combination of 2 Art Style games with maybe the exception of AQUIA and ZENGAGE. That leaves PiCTOBiTS, BASE 10, precipice, BOXLIFE, and DIGIDRIVE. Out of those I would say the 2 best in my opinion would be PiCTOBiTS and BASE10. If Art Style doesn't work for you then maybe you would consider Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon. Its 500 points and just an excellent video pinball game that it perfect for quick pick up and play sessions. Also a great option at the 500 point price is Pop Island. Its a very fun capture the flag-ish kind of game that supports DS Download Play so you can play with others on any other DS system and they don't need the game. If you like the sound of that but think 500 is too much then there is also Pop Island: Paperfield which is a little lighter on content because it doesn't have as many areas but still supports 8 player download play. Both are a great option. Staying with Racing, if you got Paperfield you would have 800 points left which could buy the excellent AiRace. This is a racer with various Airplanes. It is fairly deep with 6 courses in all plus reverses of each as well as a championship mode where you attempt to earn trophies in each class. You can use money you earn to upgrade various stats on you plane. It also supports up to 6 players wireless multiplayer but unfortunately, all participants must own the game. Of course if you would rather not get 2 racing games you might consider getting AiRace with a nice 200 point game. And no 200 point game is nicer than Aura Aura Climber. It is without a doubt one of the most bang for your buck 200 point games. It has 10 levels in all, all of which are quite large. you are evaluated on each level and also have many achievement-esque things to strive for within the game. It can get quite challenging and is very fun. So there's my 2 cents on the matter. If you want a great value for your 1000 pioints then you could do: Aura Aura Climber(200) Pop Island: Paperfield(200) Art Style: PiCTOBiTS(500) Then you would get a nice racing game with a great multiplayer function, a fun little Action game with alot of replay value on it, and a very well polished, challenging puzzle game that will have you going for a while. That is, in my opinion, the best way to spend your 1000 points, and you'll even have 100 points left over If you want more clarification on any games I mentioned, let me know
I don't know about X-Scape, I'd like to think about what else I could get first, but thanks for the advice. I've heard many great things about X-Scape.
Again, AiRace is a fun option but other 800 point games that are quite good also include:
X-Scape Mighty Flip Champs Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again DodoGo! Art Academy (if your into drawing and painting) Asphalt 4: Elite Racing Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ
Oh, and there are a few games at the other price points I forgot to mention:
10 Second run (200) Alphabounce (500) Bejeweled Twist (500) Bookworm (500) Glow Artisan (500) Link 'n' Launch (500) Number Battle (500) Spotto! (200) Touch Solitaire (200)
Of course, there is always the option of adding a 10 more dollars to your account and downloading the absolutely brilliant Shantae: Risky's Revenge. That game is without a doubt one of the very brightest gems on the service. You will fall in love with it if you like Metroid or Castlevania. And even if you don't, you might still love it (I loved Shantae and really can't stand 2D Metroid or Castlevania). If you want my real, honest recommendation though, add a bunch of money to you account and buy as many titles as you can that I've listed that interest you at all They really all are worth a serious look.
honestly, ignoring the price stipulation, these are the games that you should absolutely own:
Shantae: Risky's Revenge Aura Aura Climber Art Style: PiCTOBiTS Art Style: BASE 10 Touch Solitaire Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon
That comes to 3100 points or 31 dollars. These are a group of games every DSi owner should absolutely have. (of course you should do your own research on them though, just in case )
Thanks, I think I'm going to get an 800-point game first and save the other 200, in case I want to get Shantae later. You don't have to keep going now (unless you want to suggest 800-pointers).
@labrat - I have no idea what you already own from the 500 point range, but here are my favorite 500 pointers in no real order: AlphaBounce A Kappa's Trail Bejeweled Twist Art Style: BASE 10 Castle Conqueror Dark Void Zero Maestro! Green Groove Number Battle Planet Puzzle League Express Starship Defense Trajectile
Those are my favorite 500 pointers, anyway. There are bound to be a few not everyone agrees upon in there...
does nintendo ever have sale on their games like sony does on the psn games
down to 600 pts now (before adding any other cards) been looking around and really dont see much good at 200 pts. that are sort of long and have replay vaule. unless im overlooking some
also that number battle game anyone know if there is a TRUE cart game that is like that... i would be more then happy to pay 30 or 40 bucks for a game like that if it had ALOT of puzzles (download has like 30) be neat if they would release a cart based game with 300 maps or so
i was wondering why it always said I can not find the planets on alphabounce... you need to play the levels over the planets to find them LOL i was just flying all over the maps trying to collect everything... right now i would have to say that is my best 500 pt game Tied with Crystal monsters....
also for people who have Dairojo! Samurai Defenders how many levels are there i know it says each map have 99 zones of people coming at you but how many levels (maps are their)
if i knew it was Very long i would think about buying it BUT at 800 pts that is a very high buy with many questions about the game
other then that any good 200 pt buys (doubtful they will be long and replay vaule)
seems i found an answer as the half-dozen different stages to choose from are given these arbitrary star ratings that don't make much immediate sense. only 6 stages in Dairojo! Samurai Defenders guess i keep to my tower defence psp games i have
