Thanks a bunch. I'm also interested in strategy type games as well.

Glad I could help! There are some great strategy games on DSiWare, but most of them are 500 Points. Libera Wing is 800, though.

Do you have any 500 point platformer suggestions?

Sure do. Go! Go! Island Rescue is great (but, IMO, not better than DodoGo). Ivy the Kiwi? Mini also comes highly recommended.

Shantae: RR is very short. The graphics, characters and gameplay are wonderful but the game is just too short. It's up to you, if you love 16-bit era platformers then this game will make you flip. If not then you'll find the price is too high.

Mighty Flip Champs! is a fiendishly hard puzzle game, but very rewarding. You really need to think out your movements ahead of time or you'll end up dying a lot. I enjoyed it, but I haven't finished it due to the high difficulty.

I have both the first and second semester but I haven't completed the first. I like them. As for Shantae; huge yes, it is really worth it.

Pictobits is really great yeah. Lots of content for 500 points and great music to boot. In fact any of the Art Style games (except ZENGAGE/NEMREM) is a good choice.

Also, Dark Void Zero and Chronos Twin are a good platformers for 500 points.

so Pictobits is a good long game ? got 500 pts left and trying to figure out what to spend on them

the new texas hold em game... digger dan and now im starting to look at this,

Edit think i found the answer... one review site said there is only 30 levels .... so could be short (could always replay them)

@slidecage: Many of those 30 levels will take you a good long while to beat. The game gets insanely hard about halfway through. Get Trajectile first if you haven't already.

The problem with DSiWare recommendations of Art Style games is that each one is geared toward a different type of puzzle gamer. For instance, I really liked Base10, precipice and Zengage and did not really enjoy Pictobits at all other than the Nintendo nostalgia factor. Some people do not want to pay more than $5 for a game, even if it has loads of content. Others expect a short gaming experience for $5.

Anyway, I've found that with DSiWare sometimes you just have to take the plunge. Sometimes you might like it, other times you will be disappointed.

i highly recommend this game. I never really been into TD games, but this one is definitely one that everybody can enjoy.

About platformers, these are good ones:
Darkvoid Zero & Soul of Darkness- short but worth 500 nps. SoD is kinda easy unless you don't upgrade so often.
Rayman- difficult platformer
10 Second Run- all around good buy for 200 nps.
