I love rpgs and platformers the most... racing games are good too! I have a black dsi and a blue 3DS. :D "Sometimes we put up walls, not to keep people out, but rather to see who will take the time to break them down." 3DS friend code: 3695 0029 5257
Quite a bit this week! Though, still depressing that Shantae: Risky's Revenge hasn't been released yet.... Atleast we get 5 in 1 solitaire for the same price that Europe got 2 in 1 for!

Very nice week for dsiware. I have 1500 points but it looks like I may use all of them with 5 in 1 solitare, rollaway puzzle, and either legends of Exidia or the golf game.
Don't you know you got 2 in 1 solitaire too? Only with the name: Touch Solitaire... So your comment doesn't make sense... :S
Oops, I forgot about touch solitaire.... lol Well, this one looks like the better deal either way, so I'm glad I waited!

Definitely have to get "Legends of Exidia" this week. I've got in on my cell (under the "Might and Magic II" name), and it will be so much easier to use on the DSi!

I just got around to playing through Monkey Island chapter 3 this past weekend, so I need to catch up another iteration before I can get the final episode. I look forward to it. Texas Hold 'Em might also be worth it, if wrapped in a good presentation.

i really really really hope 5 in 1 solitaire is the crappiest game ever, because i will be very mad at nintendo for releasing touch solitaire first if it is not.
Its nice that Rollaway puzzle came out, it looks rather charming. I'll wait for the Exadia review. I need to buy a points card this week, but I guess I can wait.
@abgar and @birdman13: I agree. I bought Touch Solitaire just last week, and while I enjoy what is on offer there, I would rather have more for less. Oh well. I guess I'd feel worse if it was 800 points instead of 200.
EDIT: I did go here http://www.digitalleisure.com/contents/screenshots/screenshot... to look at the screenshots of the game and I feel a little better. It is clearly not as aesthetically polished as Nintendo's offering, but who knows about the gameplay, which is what really matters.
The golf game is great if you like golf. I'm playing it now. Cool controls, groovy graphics and a sweet sound. If you're the type of person who gets the new Tiger Woods every year, this is so for you.
