Topic: DSiWare Recommendations Thread

Is It recommend for me to purchase Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! base on my enjoyment with Donkey Kong from the eShop Virtual Console? Are they similar?

@Project-L - They're similar in objective, but while the original DK is more of a puzzle-platformer, MMA is more a puzzle game than a puzzle platformer. It's worth the $8 despite being different from the original game.

Guys ! I have 8 Euros, what should i buy ? I'll leave my house in 10 hours (please answer quick ! = ) )

Alphabounce (500 Nintendo points) is a Arkanoid clone with RPG and exploration elements.

Every grid on the mini-map contains a level. Your main objective is to tackle planets that are made of multiple grids and uncover Earth. Searching for grids with image of a item for improvements like more powerful bouncing (drilling) ball to take down difficult blocks (conglomerates). Every planet has a theme of block types that you have to watch out for and hope that you have the right set of items in order to take them down. Complete a planet will reward you a new horizontal paddle (envelope) for you to customize with. The action takes place in both screens.

This is the best version of Arkanoid because it has a feature, without that feature the game will be annoying just like Arkanoid. That feature is called The Javelin. The Javelin activates when their are only a few blocks left. The bar above your health meter on the bottom touch screen will fill up and once it's full,a blast will take down the "hard to hit" only blocks by pressing up on the dpad.

The game has longevity and difficulty settings. One save file only. I highly recommended it

@Birdman13 I'll purchase MMA soon then.

Yep Airport Mania is a good choice for 2 bucks.

Also, while I was reading your post, one word kept flashing in front of me: Trajectile. I just bought it a few days ago, and it matches perfectly with what your requests were. Its perfect for pick-up-n-play and is really addictive. Plus, you get dozens of levels (over 80 by my knowledge) for a mere 5 bucks.

Got Trajectile/Reflect Missile.

Haven't Airport Mania... might check that out.

Excellent choice! I assumed you had it already.

make sure you get the right Airport mania they released 2... one is the full verison one is just a single stage looped (same priced0

someone talk me into buying Trajectile/Reflect Missile.... tempted but it seems its isnt that much fun or major replay (very short)

I've had Trajectile for over a year and I still haven't beaten the game. It's a fantastic short burst, arcade-style game that has loads of stages to complete if you take your time and play for a few minutes at a time. Then there are also medals to achieve on all the levels, so there's a lot to do. It's a must-buy IMO.

I've had great fun with Trajectile/Reflect Missile. Imagine a turn based Breakout / Arkanoid / Alleyway / AlphaBounce that's more of a puzzle game and you've got an idea of what it feels like. _{Watching gameplay videos online should get you a better idea though.}
The presentation fits it very well and it really felt rewarding to finish a stage and get medals for getting more points. It's not too hard and it must have taken me about ten to twenty hours to fully complete the game. So the 500 points felt like a total steal in my opinion.

And now for a hilariously belated response:
I said "farm game" which it is. It has a farm theme. Also, the DSiWare port at least doesn't sound very good: http://ds.ign.com/articles/118/1181147p1.html

"Farm game" is stuff like Harvest Moon, or My Little Farm, or whatever. Where you have animals and crops and such, and you farm them.

Calling Farm Frenzy that is misrepresenting it entirely. Farm Frenzy is closer in concept to Supermarket Mania.

That's all I was clarifying when I made my post.

I have 500 dsi points left, what are some great dsiware games with lots of replay value?

Tertris Party Live has tons of replay value, if you like to play online that is. If you're interested in a Shmup, Metal Torrent also has a competitive online copmponent in the form of a wifi leaderboard.

Soul of Darkness is my personal favorite.
Dark void Zero is too.

@SuperTogepi - AlphaBounce, Trajectile, A Kappa's Trail, PiCTOBiTS, and Flametail all have very good replay value and lots of content.

Glow Artisan has you covered. Dozens of puzzles, Random mode = infinite levels, Level editor, multiplayer, the works.

I've got 1000 dsiware points ands i'm intrested in 2 games: Airace and tetris party live or plants vs zombies and some other 200 point game. But i dont know which ones to get! If I get P vs Z, what should i get with the 200 points? I live in australia so some games might not be here. That 200 point game needs to have good replay value or be really creative.

@jibberldd5 i think i could recommend you some 200 point titles that are fun and have good replay value, which are:
-aura-aura climber, you play as a star which has crashed into earth and must find its way back up to space with the other stars, yet nice and i'm almost done with the game
-army defender, basically it's a person controlling a big machine gun and kill all types of enemies from small soldiers to big tanks and recieve upgrades as you get higher scores (btw this is only a high score game). GO series could be like army defender (i don't own the game though), but aura-aura climber and army defender are definately the best 200 point titles i own. I heard that airport mania is a wonderfull 200 point title, i might buy it ASAP. I hope this helped you out!
