i been asking around as well about the Downtown texas hold em game to see if other people got it but never heard from anyone.. I love to find a Real texas hold them game that had Real life touraments ... so far i havent found anything on any handheld systems. ...maybe one day i will download downtown if i ever have spare pts lying around or time but my backlog and that one Rpg type game coming this thursday i wont have many pts to just risk anymore

I'm looking for a good 500 point game. I've already decided on Dracula Undead Awakening, Car Jack Streets and Army Defender. Could you tell me of a good point game No Anti-Pole, Lost Town the Dust, or Pop+ Solo.

@rudydog13 - AlphaBounce, Bejeweled Twist, Castle Conqueror, Dark Void Zero, Digger Dan & Kaboom, A Kappa's Trail, Maestro! Green Groove, Number Battle, Pop Island, Starship Defense, and Trajectile are all great 500 point games worth considering.

My DSiWare Games:

• Pyoro (200)
• Paper Plane (200)
• Dragon Quest Wars (500)
• STARSHIP PATROL (500)
• Link 'n' Launch (500)

All are worth it. I also bought Pop Island: Paperfield (200). I found it boring, I found the gameplay and characters weird, and I hated the graphics; so much so that I deleted it. Just goes to show not all reviews are for you (Site gave it a 9/10).

thought i put my list up from best to worse and score ranking from 100
Number battle --- 95%--- best game i played so far too short though 5 hours to beat storymode
Zenonia ---90%--- fun rpg game
alpha bounce — 85 --- fun game very long probally take months to beat if not longer
telegraph sudoku--- 80%--- fun gme
Fishing resort--- 79%--- Fun game for 200 pts
cystal monsters --- 77%--- pokemon clone controls are messed up
Ej Puzzles hooked — 75%--- fun long mindsweeper clone game
aiport mania first flight ---75%--- fun time killer BUT way too easy
Plants vs zombies --- 74%--- would of ranked higher but its not the entire cart based game
Beach party Crazy ---74%---- Fun time waster
Break tactics---- 73%--- fun time waster
elemental Maters --70%--- Fun game but overpriced at 800pts... hard to learn as well
Picdum---70%--- gets boring fast
zoo frenzy---68%--- never played much
academy tic tac toe — 60.... fun little game but it seems way too easy to play.. nice game for 200 pts though
BIG bass arcade ---55%-- was fun at first but became boring again
Puzzle rocks --- 53%---- fun game but gets boring fast
Ubongo--- 52%--- fun game but very short beat in less then 4 hours story mode
ART of ink — 50% — was fun at first but became boring ... overpriced at 800 pts
Portable shrine wars--- 45%--- wasnt my type of game
glory days--- 40%--- wasnt my type of game
anonymous notes chapter 1 --30% boring game better to just buy FROM THE ABYSS cart
airport mania 20 --single stage game 200 pts dont waste your cash
Shapo-- 18%--- fun but boring game
Texas hold em poker--- 15%--- was expecting a lot more.. no touraments in this game at all
Six spin ----10%---- just could never get into the game
stratego--- 0%--- biggest waste of cash to me.. i thought it had mission modes how the pics looked played 10 mins and toss

I just bought Pop Island: Paperfield (To wait a few days for a game which I'm waiting for) and it's actually pretty fun! It does last well in short bursts, but playing it long causes me bored.

no, Dragon quest (even though I'm a fan of DQ series) dsiware is a boring game and it isn't worht buying it but I ca n say that Link 'n' Launch is a good game

My recommendations are:
1) Number Battle
2) some Art Style games (it depends your playing style)
3) Aura Aura Climber

If you're a 3DS ambassador you probably shouldn't buy Pyoro or Paper Plane, since we're going to get WarioWare Inc.

Starship Patrol: Absolutely love this game, along with Pixel Junk Monsters for the PSN, it's the joint best Tower Defence game I've ever played. Couldn't put it down until I'd perfected every stage. I guess my only gripe with it was that after 20 stages it's left me wanting more but a Starship Patrol 2 seems very unlikely. Much more enjoyable than the oddly popular Plants vs Zombies.

Flip Note Studio: This little freebie has re-sparked my interested in making cartoons, I've spent a ridiculous number of hours on this and am looking forward to the sequel. All it needs is some more colours, maybe a new copy and paste tools and a better export setting and it'll be a great piece of software.

Mighty Flip Champs: I wouldn't say this game is brilliant, I mean it's puzzles are pretty mind bending, but it's no Braid or anything. Still it's good game if you like a puzzle that makes great use of the dual screens.

Photo-Dojo: There's no reason everyone shouldn't have this game. It's very low priced and playing a fighting game starring your friends with their own voices is pretty hilarious, if you can't have fun with this game get some better friends.

On another note, I thought Alphabounce was very over rated. This was the first DSiware I bought (along with the rubbish Warioware Snapped) and I was very disappointed by it. I've played much better block breaking games 20 years ago.

airport mania first flight - must buy for 2€. great game!
aura aura climber - same as airport mania^^

So, my birthday is coming soon and I thought about getting presents for myself as I'm too old to get those from anyone else.
I'm going to buy some games with 30€ and I'm already sure about Mario vs. DK, Plants vs. Zombies and Mario Land 2 but then I have 10€ left and I'm not sure which games I should choose. I have two situations:

1. 8€ and 2€ game

• Mighty Flip Champs - seems like a funny puzzle game
• Aura-Aura Climber - can't tell anything about this game by the look of the videos but I noticed that it's from Nintendo

2. Two 5€ games, I've considered few:

• Art Style: PiCOPiCT - Not entirely sure about this but it has good reviews and I've heard only good about Art Style series
• Soul of Darkness - I somewhat like newer Castlevania games (NES games were too hard for me when I was a kid). This is the closest one for me to buy in this 5€ category. How long does it take to beat the game?
• GO Series: Picdun - I'd like to try a Dungeon Crawler game but this one seems a bit odd one. I'd prefer more serious one but I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks about this game.
• Dragon Quest Wars - I like strategy games but I'm not sure if this is good game or not. How deep is the strategy part?

I hope you can help me a little to decide what games I should buy. You can also say if you know better games than these and I'll take a look at them.

pick aura aura climber. it is really good. read the review from this site.

cant talk about the other games cause i dont have them

unless your looking at playing dragon quest online i say stay far away it has no single player mode

break tactics isnt a bad game... Fun little time killer.. i put in around 8 hours and on mission 20..not sure how many mission or how to unlock more troops

update on nintendo ...

OCT 20 games
Castle Conqueror - revolutions 500 pts (probally day 1 purchase for me)

so right now if nothing new pops up in oct it looks like only

Castle Conqueror - revolutions will be the only game i get .. though that checkers still is tempting

Aura-Aura Climber, definitely. It's cute, fun and addictive. Just don't play it for too long or you'll finish the game. (Like I did, whoops).
Castle of Magic is a good 500 point platformer.
Pop Island: Paperfield is good for short bursts and in multiplayer.
Bird and Bombs (Spotto!) is a puzzle game (I think?) and is fun, cute and has nice music imo.
Army Defender is a great TD, even if you don't really like TD games!
Bird and Beans (Pyoro) is fun as well.

Checkers Pushed back to OCT 27

CUT THE ROPE now comes out on the 20th

Bleh, I bought both a long time ago.

I have 395 blocks of 3ds memory left, I'm thinking of getting one last ( unless something happens ) Nintendo point card for my dsi xl and transferring the games over one more time, I was thinking of picking from these, any advice (if you do remember it would be a 2000 point card and I don'y want left overs)

A Kappa's Trail - 50
G.G. Series NINJA KARAKURI DEN - 200
Dark Void Zero - 500
Tetris Party Live - 500
NUMBER BATTLE - 500
ZENONIA - 800
Touch Solitaire - 200
Aura-Aura Climber - 200
Spirit Hunters Inc - ???

Any advice for or against any title would help as this is just me considering if these will be some of my last titles. Also if you think of any titles I might like here is what I have:

Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition
Shantae: Risky's Revenge
Plants vs. Zombies
Photo Dojo
Mario vs. Donkey Kong Minis March Again!
DRAGON QUEST WARS
BOMBERMAN BLITZ
Cave Story (Wiiware)

@Aqueous - I'd definitely get A Kappa's Trail and Aura-Aura from your list, but that's about all I'd truly recommend from your list. Some titles you should consider are Trajectile or Starship Defense, and X-Scape or Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords.

Get Aura-Aura Climber definitely. Tetris Party Live is great if you mainly just want to play people online, but it's pretty bare bones aside from that. I think you would also like Starship Defense, not that I've bought it myself yet. Art Style Boxlife, Art Style Pictobits, and Trajectile are also genuinely good choices.
