What are some good 500 point games? I'm sorting out how to spend my last points and so far the only 500 point game I really want is flipper 2 and it's not out yet. I'm looking for one more. MAYBE 2.

What do you already own?

I already have Pictobits, Rabi Laby, Dark Void Zero, Metal Torrent, and Frogger.

Trajectile, Starship Defense and Pop Island all come to mind as great choices.

I've thought about Trajectile before,so I might go with that.
I'm not a big fan of tower defense games though so I might be a little biased on picking that over Starship. How long would Starship Defense last and how challenging is it?

Hmm, hard to say since I haven't even beat the game yet. I don't play it over long sessions though. It's great for short plays and it's pretty challenging.

You can't go wrong with either of those games, really.

Soul of Darkness.
Earthworm Jim.
Asphalt 4.
Dark Void Zero.
Best.
Games.
On Dsiware.
EVER.

Boxlife is my favourite 500-point game.

Be sure to check out AlphaBounce and Reflect Missile as well. Imo you get some very great value out of these two games.

Yes, I also highly recommend Alphabounce.

ubongo is a fun but short game (around 6 hours)
number battle is another very fun but short game (around 7 hours to beat the main story)

airport mania is a very fun game for 200 pts maybe that and get another 200 pt game if your looking at breaking up points

Givng this the bump before the deluge of "what should I get" threads appears after the update.

I was looking at some of the few offerings of RPGs that DSiware has. Anyone have any recommendations in terms of those? I'm considering all of them really.

Hey people, I actually made an article about the top 15 DSiWare games you should probably get on the eShop.

I will not directly link but instead, click my signature link to iNintendo to see it.

@Kainard - I've recently become addicted to Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. It's apparently the full release, so for $8 it's a steal. I'm not sure if one would consider AlphaBounce an RPG, but it's got heavy customization and is very, very, very long. I've heard that both Anonymous Notes games are decent hack-and-slashers, but I haven't played either of them myself. Same thing with Zenonia.

@Sylverstone - Nice article. Any reason PvZ, Trajectile and Starship Defense didn't make it, or were they just #s 16-18?

can anyone recommend any LONG lasting games for the money.. or very good games

was hoping nintendo updated their site over the weekend to give idea what else is coming in june but so far seems june 6 is the latest update

Tomorrow planning on picking up

PICDUM 500 pts

if i knew they were good and long (or very fun to play would grab)

glory days tac. defence

The longest-lasting 200-point games I've played are Aura-Aura Climber and Advanced Circuits. Frenzic is very addicting and will probably take you a while to master.

The longest-lasting 500-point games I've played are Glow Artisan and Trajectile. Art Style Boxlife and Pictobits have a lot of replay value, and you could play Tetris Party Live over and over forever. Flametail is quite good and somewhat addicting as well.

Yeah, seconding Trajectile and Tetris Party Live for long games. The Art Style games tend to have a lot of content and replayability too - I suggest BOXLIFE, DIGIDRIVE, PiCTOBiTS and precipice. If you like pinball games then Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon is fantastic value for money. The board is amazing. Too bad it can't be imported to the 3DS.

Looks like Pinball Pulse has the go ahead for 3ds. Yay

ZIMO MaHJONG FAntic

Beach party crazy (800 pts) i would of grabbed this at 500... 800 is way way too high for a very short looking game
