VERY good game here; I just bought the iPod touch version.

@Nintendo-Naut

In a GOOD way. This game looks great.

Agreed with electropercent. Like most though I didn't enjoy the time limit 'feature' too much. That being said, Phantom Hourglass was still insanely fun, and from what I've heard Spirit Tracks is even better.

I'll definitely be picking this up after Christmas, this and Bowser's Inside Story. For sure... but then there's also Crystal Bearers and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. D= Why do so many good games come around right before or right after Christmas?

If I had to choose just one game though, it'd probably be between Spirit Tracks and TvsC. I would say between this and Bowser's Inside Story, but Tatsunoko vs. Capcom has Yami. =3

Am I the only one that thinks the characters in this game look... strange?

Agreed with jp-30 and slapshot82.

I'd say the okay pattern would be switch between WiiWare and VC updates, and update at least three games at a time, unless its something BIG.

Pretty annoyed here, actually. While WiiWare has its own share of gems like Swords & Soldiers, Alien Crush Returns, the Final Fantasy games, and Onslaught/Water Warfare, the Virtual Console is really where the Wii Shop Channel shines.
And, seriously, we just need more channels available for download.

Funny how no one remembers Card Hero with Maruo Maruhige on the Game Boy anymore. Of course, it was Japan only, but Maruhige was in Melee as a trophy.

Don't know if they already looked here... But I'm posting this anyway.

I wanna see EarthBound (for my friend's sake), at least one of the Fire Emblem games that are Japan only (preferably Seisen no Keifu), Yoshi's Island, and Donkey Kong 64 (all three for my sake) mainly. I also think it'd be pretty cool if.

EDIT 257th!

You know, this really seems like a quality idea for a DSi app. I sincerely hope that every other company on the face of the Earth doesn't copy Nnooo afterwards. =P

Seems interesting enough. Might get it with my next batch of points.

In other news...

Who's surprised to see me back?

People really need to stop complaining about apps. Even if they're 'overpriced' you don't have to buy them, and then you have to wait just ONE WEEK for the next batch of games/apps to come out...

It doesn't really deserve that score. Its great for what it is, and it certainly is better than Alex Kidd and The Lost Stars.

Hey y'know, I knew it would be like this (short and no high scores) ever since I saw the first Japanese video of the game! I'm not deterred by the few things that make Snapped! 'tech demo' and I'm just gonna go for it.

Seems pretty fun while it lasts, sooo....

Heh, looks like a pretty nice launch, albeit a bit barren at the moment. Let's hope for some more (inevitable) launch announcements soon (event though this one isn't even confirmed)!

One more thing: If Band Bros. Radio Stand actually lets you play your own songs in a Band Bros. game, than I'm all for it, but it seems more like a simple skin at the moment.

Well, what's with some people's negativity towards utility releases? I know no one wants to see a different clock app every day, but it doesn't hurt anyone if utilities came out along with games like with the App Store (which is sort of why the DSi was made in the first place).

Oh no, oh no, oh no. Or is it oh yes, oh yes, oh yes?

I'm unsure on this one.

Shinnok, I implore you to look into Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn's story, which has enough twists and turns to keep someone satisfied. A lot of politics are involved too.

If you still hate it then, well, wow... What the heck.

Really great game, and a really overlooked one at that. Guys, forget about 'quality' releases like 'Sonic Chaos' and 'Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars' and give this one a go, because sometimes well-known characters just get you to buy a product without thinking twice, only to go 'AWWW!!!!' afterwards...

Fun Note: Bokkute Upa = My Name Is Upa

This game is only 'okay' in my opinion. It's sluggish-ness gets annoying from time to time.

Well, actually, I read through the review again and I pretty much have the same feelings as you do towards ReBirth. There could've been something more but... it's still fantastic, and I'm standing behind my 7/10 rating.

Also, the Konami code doesn't work with Castlevania I on the NES either.

This game is my second favorite WiiWare game... Ah Corbie, you should've given it a seven. You guys know you can insert the Konami Code (Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right 1/A 2/B) on the pause screen to get four multiples right? Really makes things easier on you.

Well yeah, hey there everyone, I'm back! (I doubt anyone will remember me, but I was around since the birth of VC-Reviews...)

Huh, well I totally need to go to the store and get some Wii Points now. SEVERAL games are beckoning for me to download them!

Thanks for the support guys. ^_;

Sorry, bboy.

I for one am NOT happy for the Japanese. They constantly get all kinds of good stuff that never sees release elsewhere. God forbid we have something that they don't!"

Why is it that the Americans are always the ones that complain/troll/be ignorant here? It really makes me sad to see that some of us can be so jealous or so rude that they can say something like that (no matter where they are). Frankly, people complaining about VC or WiiWare releases is getting old and annoying, which is why I don't post much here anymore.

Anyway, let's bring on LostWinds 2 screenshots, I'm eager to see how it looks! ^_

Both of the confirmed series were already proved to be great in the past. This just restored my hype for the DSi!

Lookin' good.

I love this game so much on Wi-Fi. I admit... I suck at it, however.

As I suspected, RMC at GoNintendo didn't think of it that great either. >.>

Upa seems great.

The... the... Upa game looks awesome.

I sent in Illusion of Gaia, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, Castlevania: Dracula X, and EarthBound.

"If you don’t fancy looking like a fool..."
Great right there, Damo.

Dracula X,  Legend of Valkyrie, Metal Slug, Famicom Detective Club Part II, and M.U.S.H.A. are the great ones I could spot.

Alien Crush for WiiWare... ALRIGHT! I love the original 'Crush' games and have el' high hopes for this one here.

Considering that this game is on the iPod for $4.99 as well as cell phones in America, I'm throwing a "NOT WORTH IT" out.

Peter, this isn't any killer app to say the least, though it just looks like the best of the 'poor man's' WiiWare. Plus, I needed to boost my Wiki-larity up with good writing skills.

No wait, there is a Tetris Company? Since when?

Looks like a killer app, seems like a killer app, SMELLS like a killer app! It must be!

I love the gameplay of Milon no DokiDoki Daibouken (Milon's DokiDoki Adventure)! However, I'll be playing Brawl by tomorrow morning at around 11:25AM Pacific time so, no time for Milon (I'm not buying it for a long time).

I'm actually pretty excited for this game and its "Hey, I'm not part of the crowd!" style. So excited, I've made a Wikipedia article on it. It is small, though it is pretty well written if you ask me. I stayed away from the 'big words' though, so everyone could understand. XD

@StarDust - That has been announced a few days, if not weeks, back. I'm okay with the May 12th release date. Why? In just one day, I will have SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL to hold me over!

@ZEIDO - Hopefully, though no one knows at this time. I'm hoping for some Castlevania remakes of ones that cannot make it onto the Virtual Console since it doesn't support the certain console it is on. For instance, a 3D remake of Aria of Sorrow, possibly the most popular Castlevania game and one I've not been able to play, would be awesome. Some Japanese Fire Emblem remakes wouldn't hurt, either; though they can just be translated and released with their original graphics, which is probably the case, and a case I'm good with as well.

I'm more excited for some of the more original titles like LIT, LostWinds, My Life as a King, and SPOGS, more than remakes, however.

There is a screenshot of this in the latest Nintendo Power issue. It has been reported to look like an 'early GameCube game'. For the time being, I guess you'll just have to wait for the latest Official Nintendo Magazine and skim through it. Hopefully they'll have a few new tidbits of info and a/some screenshot(s) of SPOGS Racing.

@DJ Triforce - Kelvin has insider information.

I'm a fan of horror platformers, like Castlevania, so I'm looking forward to LIT. The artwork in LIT reminds me of Ayami Kojima's work, too...

Most of the games look great.
Dr. Mario & Virus Buster, Star Soldier R, My Life as a King, Marubou Shikaku, Actionloop, and Mojipittan to be exact.
