Topic: Rate your DSiWare collection

@ Karakato_001:
For a second there I thought you bought that cal. and clock app....
lol at the pun you made their about Wario game.

edit: Edited to correct spelling mistake....

@cheapogamer4life:
To be honest, I do enjoy the clock, it takes all my anger away. And considering that it is hard for me to buy points, I try to avoid some apps that I know will disappoint. Wow, I really let myself go... didn't expect my post to be that long.

(in order of purchase)
I'm really a fan of pick up and play (since I mostly only have short amounts of time to play).

DSi browser - 7/10
It does what I need on the go...if I can find an open wireless signal. I'd rather have a cheap netbook though and do more. But it was free so I'm not complaining.

Wario Ware Snapped - 2/10
Fun for the first 15 minutes. Also good for showing friends. But there is no replay value at all. I wish you could save the pictures/videos it makes. Do not buy! (Thankfully I used my free DSi points to buy this).

Boxlife - 5/10
It's ok, but I have gotten a bit stuck. I'm sure the score will increase if I put some more time into this game. (Also used my free DSi points to buy this).

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: MMA - 9/10
I love this game! The levels are short so it's great for pick up and play. Lot's of replay value. This game redeemed nintendo from the other games I bought. It brought hope that there might be some good game releases on DSiware.

Sudoku Student - 8/10
Got this because I sucked at sudoku and because it was the cheapest. Very happy with it. It's improved my sudoku skills and I still haven't finished it (and I think I'd be able to replay the games again anyway). Only thing I hate is that it doesn't show you've completed a puzzle unless you do it in under 10 minutes

Flipnote - 7/10
It's really fun, but I don't have the patience to make a great flipnote. Again, I can see this score rising once I play more

Brain Age Art and Letters - 7/10
It was fun at first, but very soon the novelty wore off. I can see myself getting into it again...but I think I could have used thosse points on something better.

Sparkle Snapshots - 8/10
Very cutesy. Reminds me of the sticker photo booths in Japan (which I loved!). So far I've uploaded a few pics to facebook; my friends had a good laugh at what I made. I think this is something that will get more use if I use it with friends. I haven't tried transferring the pics to the SD card yet and using them on the computer...on my to-do list. With all the picture manip apps out now, I think this one seems best for the price and what you get. The music is annoying though

myNotebook Blue - 9/10
I LOVE this! I need to write down things or I forget them! Great if you need to make a grocery list on-the-go. I keep my daily to-do list on there (to remind me not to be a slacker!). Also great for playing hangman.

Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam - 8/10
This helped to get me off of facebook cafeworld. A bit repetitive but fun. Only 1 level left for me to beat though. I can see myself playing this again...but it won't be as fun as the first time. Still happy I bought this.

Me and my dogs: friends forever - 3/10
Was fun when I first started. Hate the fact that you have to wait until your 'day' has ended before you can save. After a while it gets really boring though. Not worth 800 points! If you want to play with dogs, but a used nintendogs! Not happy with this.

Pop+ Solo - 7/10
Bought this because it had good reviews. It's ok. Good for pick up and play, and maybe something I would use if I was feeling tired (zen mode). But not something I will play a ton. I still think it was worth buying, but I'm not going to get as much use out of it as most people.

Spotto! - 9/10
Very good for pick up and play. Love that you can select a level and not have to start at the beginning. Super cute and the music is nice too. And great price!

DodoGo! - 9/10
Cute graphics. Cute music. Pick up and play. Website has a leader board. Easy to learn controls. Nothing to say bad about it. This might be a 10/10 (will wait and see replay value)

Also, I just realized that I use way too many smiley faces! haha

I Wish there was a way to play a Demo of a Game, that way I don;t make mistakes in to buy a Game I won't like.

I will like to try Number Battle, but I don't see any Videos of it on Youtube, and I will like to Get it.

JumpMad - Try looking under Chotto Suuijin Taisen (it's Japanese name) or Sujin Taisen (European name) for videos. Also, Wikipedia has a good article about it.

Thanks Luwiigi!

Have you tried playing Intersect's vs mode in short bursts? I think it does well there.

The only game I sorta regret buying is Face Pilot just because of the camera.

@jdarrell You're welcome! I'm glad someone read it because I spent an hour writing that up. Yeah, VS mode is alright, but once you've got all the medals there's nothing else to do.

@ Luwiigi: thanks to thos thread I took a chance on a few games th( I just pass off as be meh like Number Battle and one or two more. So this might be my favorite thread here at NL

Here are a few games I've dl'ed since my other post. Don't have acess to my DSi right on so will update this list in the near future.

Photo Dojo , 6: Its very true that over half the fun here is crating a stable full of ruthless fighters.
Earthworm Jim 7: So for only 5 np's I got to play a classic that I missed out on as a little one. Really enjoy this one but have yet to start on my 2nd play through.
Xscape 9- So worth the ponits if your a fan of first person shooters
Blazy Bloo. 6 - * worthy fighter that gets the job done.
Absolute Chess, 6- learn how to play chess for 200 np's. Yay me
Scrabble Tools, 5- Wanna cheat at a online game of Scrabble? Nintendo DSiware shop has a app for that. Training is fun but gets very old because you never level up in this one even though it tells you your a level 1 scrabble player.

Edit:
Pop Island Paperfield, 9- Enjoyed this one just as much as the original and its 300 points less with only (maybe) 30% less content!
Airace, 8- A few more tracks would have been great but this game combines two of my favorite things(racing and flying).

Edit 2:
Face Pilot, 7- Getting the right lighting conditions may take so time, once you figure it out your good to go.
Rytmik, 8- Nice app to have if your a fan of techno beats and creating music.
Soul of Darkness, 7- Hands down one of the best Gameloft games I've download from the DSiware shop.

Good list, Cheapo (can I call you Cheapo?)

Sure, everyone else around here does anyways

Edit:
G&W: Donkey Kong Jr., 10- Based on nostalgic factor and the unlimited replay value this game has.

@Cheapo Any idea what score you'd give it if you knocked off the nostalgia factor (DKJ was made before I was born)?
I was thinking about giving this a shot.

Yea, same here.

Corbie wrote a review for this game on here where he gave it a 8/10. I would agree with that score if I would take out the nf. Although I have yet to try any of the other G&W games in the DSiware shop, base on reviews and game play videos I would say that this is the best in the shop right now. Its one of those games that has a great pick up and play short gaming session feel to it. Personally I truly believe every DSi owner should dl this game.

My Edited List:

Thorium Wars- 9/10 Awesome graphics and replay value. Gameplay is great, too. A bit frustrating at times though.
Mario vs. DK MMA- 9/10 Addicting gameplay and great value for its price.
X-Scape- 9/10 Great fun and addicting gameplay. Love the overall atmosphere of the game. Had it been longer, it should've been a retail release.
Asphalt 4- 6/10 Fun but gets old and repetitive.
Dragon Quest Wars- 6/10 Fun but a lack of a single player campaign is a turnoff.
Art Style- PiCTOBiTS- 6/10 Fun but gets WAY too hard.
Dark Void Zero- 7/10 Difficulty is unforgiving. Still pretty fun to play, though.
Starship Defense- 9/10 Creative weapon upgrades and addictive gameplay. Very tough at times.
A Kappa's Trail- 9/10 Amazing amount of things to do for 5 bucks! Difficulty can be pretty tough though.
Number Battle- 9/10 30 stages of intense fun. Plus online play.
Army Defender- 8/10 Addicting and great for picking-up-n-playing.
Escapee GO!- 8/10 Fun game for the price.
Bird & Beans- 7/10 Two fun games for a buck each= instant win
Paper Airplane Chase- 6/10 Another fun but repetitive game.
Electroplankton: Hannenbow- 5/10 Meh.
Photo Dojo- N/A Wasn't able to get into the right poses by myself.
Ninja Katakuri Den- 6/10 Fun for awhile, but gets repetitive. A lack of ability to continue where you left off is a little sad.
