Wee

Really? What I saw of that game ages ago looked pretty terrible...
Oh well, As long as they like it.

And where are all our 3DSWare titles?
They seem to have heaps when we have what? 5, including 4 3D Classic games (and a pretty glitchy Let's Golf)?
Been waiting forever for more... Or have Nintendo just figured that they're taking enough of my money as it is?

Creatoy has been heavily promoted, and is one of the most stand-out titles among a bunch of sports, puzzle and board game adaptations. Note that all three titles on the top are the only actually original titles on the service (ok, there's VectorRacing, but that looks hopelessly generic aside from the graphics style). I'm not surprised people choose to give it a go - I've been thinking about checking it out myself.

Fair enough.
It's been ages since I've seen anything about it so I can't really say too much.
I'm just judging from what I did see of it ages ago that looked pretty crummy.
If it turns out to be good fun then I'd be willing to give it a go too, at the right price.

I feel like we're being given the short end compared to Japan with the 3DS. I suppose it's often like that with Nintendo consoles, but this is the first time I've really felt it due to the lack of decent software here.
