I think it won't be able to handle 1080p, just like Xbox 360 and PS3. This is what Wii U can currently do: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-vs-e3-nintendo That's 720p with no anti-aliasing at 30 fps. That is weak compared to any mid-range PC with a decent graphics card.
I hope that Wii U will be a success and 3rd parties will use the controller innovatively.

The discs they will use are probably just Blu-Rays recorded differently. The 25 GB size gives that away. GameCube and Wii discs too are just DVDs.

I enjoyed AiRace and this games looks nice, too. I also like the soundtrack, framerate looks stable. This might be the first DSiWare games I'll download this year. Not interested in [the overpriced, IMO] Shantae.

That new Rytmik edition looks really cool. It's tempting to buy Nintendo points but I will resist

Thanks for posting the reviews early!
There are two mistakes the author could correct: 1) those math rock bands usually play in odd-time not "off-time"; 2) it's bpm not "bps" (90 bps would be an inhuman tempo).
200 points is a really good value for a metronome with those features, my metronome, in comparison, cost about 70 euros. But I wouldn't bring a DSi for rehearsals.
I will probably buy that tuner app when it comes to Europe. It's also great value for those who need it.

I wonder how this game got a T rating in NA. I mean, you have an open city where you can kill people, steal cars, drive people over. Are we getting degraded even more? Years ago this would certainly have got an M rating.

Only up to four instruments!? I think they can do better than that. Without SD saving or Wi-Fi, Rytmik has limited use. But it's nice to see something like this for DSiWare.

I think this is some kind of a marketing strategy. See, if people are afraid of not being able to buy some games they haven't already bought, there is a higher chance of people paying for them, full price. So gamers who heard the news can been manipulated into handing over their hard-earned money to The Big N.
Anyone can spend their money as they wish but I think Nintendo is messing with our heads. An example: the company is giving out press releases about how bad they are suffering from piracy, yet they are one of the best earning companies in the world. Manufacturing a copy of a game costs very little money, but it's retail price is 20+ dollars. I don't understand how does stopping the production of a new game (less than a year old) increase the profits so much to justify it. Someone will buy a copy eventually.
Maybe Nintendo really is preparing to launch a new console that would have download-only games. This could kill piracy and increase profits.
I think that if ones friend has a game he/she hasn't played, they could just borrow it. Why is not owning a game so bad?

I bought this before the review appeared. I couldn't decide between MFC and Reflect Missile, but I chose the latter and I'm glad I did. RM is an amazing game. I like it more than AS: PiCOPiCT.

I hope COP will have DSi-specific extras. That would increase the chance of me buying the game.

I want something like this but for music creation. IMO, 800 points is too much for this app because this is only the first part in the series.

Where's Thorium Wars, DSi Metronome, MFC? This was the only DSiWare I was looking forward to.
The Dracula game looked interesting, but nothing more. I would like to see more apps for DSi.

Nintendo doesn't like to be messed with. That's why they are fighting homebrew and exploits so desperately. Nintendo probably has a special department that checks for copyright infringements and other things they don't like all over the Internet so The Big N can crush the people.
