Yeah I put a lot of time into Mega Man 9 with all the challenges and everything, and it has been a very long time since I've played it, so I might give 10 a go. And I've played both the demo of AYIM and a little more on my computer, so I might pass on that one since I've played some and wasn't blown away by it.

In that case La-Mulana is the game you want.
It's easily the longest, most extensive game on WiiWare, and it's very replayable too, thanks to the many different routes you can take (I'm on my 3rd playthrough right now).

I thought NyxQuest was a great game with beautiful stages, interesting puzzles, good controls and excellent soundtrack and atmosphere, but with only 3 hours to beat and 5 hours to complete (for 100% collectibles) I found it very short for a 1000pts game. All of this can be said about Lost Winds 1 & 2 and And Yet It Moves too.

As for the other 1000pts games you mentioned, Max & the Magic Marker and Dive The Medes Islands Secret - despite being interesting games - felt unpolished and frustrating with their many glitches.

Jett Rocket was the perfect 10 hour blast for the 1000pts imo (7h to beat / 10h to complete). All around great game, reminded me a lot of Super Mario 64 and 3D platformers in general. Cave Story is another "good price for content"-one, but personally I was disappointed it took me only 8hours to beat. I thought it was a much longer game. Anima Ark of Sinners was also of same length and kinda exciting but lacking something.

Robox (took me 38h to complete) and La-Mulana (still working on it, spent more than 40 hours on it already) and Hydroventure (30 hours to complete) were probably my best "Metroidvania/platformadventure" experiences on WiiWare.

And yes, I recommend all the Art Style games, just pick up what you think you like.
And no, I don't recommend the ReBirth series (though Contra ReBirth is ok. I'd rather have NES graphics with SNES gameplay than the other way around.
and Blaster Master Overdrive is bland and lifeless and frustrating and not even on par with the NES version.

The WiiWare versions of the Phoenix Wright games are just like the DS games. They're not even ports, they're emulated (with a few minor additions).

...

No, don't get Onslaught. It's a bad idea. Some horrible control decisions for a FPS, a very generic and bland and short solo campaign, and the online multiplayer is lacking in each and every regard (not even stats tracking, etc.).

any decent 500 point games???

Airport Mania: First Flight
Flowerworks: Follie's Adventure
Monsteca Corral: Monsters vs Robots

Thanks for the advice. I've been replaying the demos to see what I still like. Dive was fun, but I remember that it has glitches that keep you from completing it, doesn't it? So I'll probably pass. The only reason I didn't get Jett Rocket when it came out was because I had just gotten Mario Galaxy and didn't want two similar-styled games, so I may go with that now. I wish I had more than 2500 points, because I also want some VC games and that doesn't leave much. Also, I didn't care for the Robox demo, I've played La Mulana and Cave Story on PC, and I already have Fluidity, so those are out.

No. You can complete the game. There are 10 levels and at the end of each is a main treasure. Also there are several small treasures which are optional. There are glitches in the maps that prevent you from getting all small treasures. (There is one small treasure you can't get in level 7 and two in level 10 when I remember correctly.) To complete the game you don't need any small treasure!

Also there are achievments which can be done like:

• completing the full diving equipment
• reaching a certain depth
• collecting all main treasures
• collecting all small treasures

Apparently the "collect all small treasures" achievment cannot be done, because the glitches in the map prevent this. That means in other words: From all achievment-medals you can get, there's one that you can't get due to the faulty maps. That's all. (At least in the European version.)

The things you can and cannot complete in DIVE:

• COMPLETABLE:

Equipment: 100% all maxed out.

Dolphin Statues: 9 / 9

Big Treasure: 23 / 23

• NOT COMPLETABLE:

Money: 85850/85850 --- I think you could get a bit more money if you could reach all small treasures, but you can't so this is maxed out.

Small Treasure: 352 / 355 --- Three small treasures are not obtainable due to buggy collision detection / "invisible wall" bug: There's 1 unreachable treasure in Stage 6, and 2 unreachable treasures in stage 10.

Achievements: 9/10 --- The final achievement can't be unlocked as you can't reach all small treasures.

Hi. I've got 2000 points and I don't know what to with them. There some games in which I'm interested and I'd be thankful to get some advice:
Mega Man 9
Mega Man 10
Fast League
Pearl Harbor
Tomena Sanner
Driift
DKC2 and DKC3
Kirby 64
Ogre Battle 64 (This one is too long, not sure about it)
Cave Story. I'm waiting for the eshop version.

Thanks.

I definitely recommend Tomena Sanner. Despite the review for Kirby 64 on this site, it was actually my favourite of the games on the Kirby Dream Collection disc: it's kind of interesting because it's 3D in appearance, but you follow a very linear path through the game. I haven't played the other games you're asking about.

Of those games I recommend DKC2 and 3. Definately worth 800pts each.

And Driift Mania. A very fun 8-player racer in the vein of Super Off-Road and Super Sprint easily worth the 800pts as well.

I recommend Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
Though it has an unfair and totally unjustifiable review on "some websites" , it is a really great game. For me it is one of the best if not THE best Kirby game of all time. And 1000 points is a very good price for this gem. Used on amazon they go for at least 25 Euro (where I live).

DKC2 is one of the finest platformers ever made. Seriously.

Kirby 64 is also pretty great as long as you don't mind Kirby being a little bit slower than usual.

I finally got Mega Man and Kirby 64. Let's hope they're as good as people says.

I've got 600 Wii points, and have n idea what to spend it on.
Anyone here know of a good Wiiware or VC for that many points.

So it has to be exactly 600 points you want to spend? No 500?

In that case, have you tried one of the Art Style games? They're all great. Hope you find one of them useful.

Uh.. just realised there aren't really many 600pts-games on WiiWare...
There's Robocalypse Beaver Defense, a tower defense game you can have fun with for a weekend. (10 story missions and 5 endless missions) It has a horrible presentation and only Wii pointer controls but it's decent still.

On VC the Turbografx games (and NES imports) are 600pts. I can't help with TG though because I wouldn't recommend Neutopia over Zelda, or Bonk over Mario. My Top 3 TG games are from the Turbografx-CD and cost 800pts anyway.

@SKTTR
Thanks for the update, and I don't mind if its an 500 points game, I just want to spent these points on something good, like a gem of a game that I never heard of.
I might end up getting Castlevania 3 or StarTropic, if not anything better.

I remember playing the Jett Rocket demo back when it was released and wasn't very impressed. I think it had to do with playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Sunshine at the time and playing it felt average.

Nearly three years later, I now want to purchase the full game because of how impressed I am. The graphics remind me of Super Mario Galaxy, the item collecting and music remind me of Spyro, futuristic setting and jet pack remind me of Ratchet and Clank and the simplicity reminds me of Crash Bandicoot.

I might just wait for the sequel, though.

I still occasionally play uno wiiware but never with anyone on here and i think its a great game for wiiware !

NyxQuest vs Jett Rocket?

From what I gather (please correct any mistakes or feel free to argue your opinion):

NyxQuest: Great 2D platformer, great use of Wii pointer controls, great atmosphere

Jett Rocket: Good (great?) 3D platformer, great graphics.

Jett Rocket is slightly longer than NyxQuest, but it also has more glitches. The glitches in both games seem to be only graphical glitches (no Wii crashes).

Again, correct me on anything you think is wrong! Or add more info/opinions.
