It does look very nice, but with all that pretty, you've got to wonder how long the actual game is due to DSiWare's file size limitation. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

I may check out Word Searcher but that seems like a better fit for DSI than Wii Ware. Oh well whatever I am still enjoying Driift Mania from last week.
I saw last night somewhere that Final Fantasy was getting released on VC this year. I might just get it even though I have beaten it a few times. It was still a fun game. Thats right as someone said the free VC game thing. I just might wait to get it then since I originally paid for the Internet Channel.
Thorium wars looks frakkin' sweet, some DSiWare that I actually want.
Oh, and Final Fantasy is poo. That really was the worst choice of names, ever.
Not really. It was a fantasy game that would have been their final game if it hadn't sold well. The name reflects the attitude towards their current situation at the time rather than thinking up a imaginitve name that would be very well known twenty years later and beyond.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!
Well some people really are that clueless when it comes to origins of certain videogames and why things are the way they are.
Its never a good idea to make others think you are completely stupid even for a joke. Sometimes the reputation of being clueless and stupid sticks even if it was only a joke on your part to begin with.
There's better jokes to come up with.

Easy fella. Sorry if I offended you. How about next time, you don't get offended.
