I like Fluidity too and I love that Club Nintendo is finally giving us real incentives to register our games, but it is in no way a steal. 150 coins is approximately $150 worth of registered merchandise. So if you give Nintendo $150, they'll give you $12 back. That's not a steal, but it is better than a tote bag.

Compared to paying 400 dollars to posters that would probably be 5 bucks a piece at Wal-Mart. :/
It's hard to say that either way though. They don't HAVE to give us anything. It's not spending 150 dollars for a 12 dollar game, because the 150 dollars you spent were actually on full games that were probably worth the cost if you were willing to buy it for that price. It's just a way of getting a bigger output than your input, and I love it. I think it's better than the other games available.
Anyways, I did buy the game, and I'm loving it. I can hardly see my water droplets that separate on my tiny screen, so it's really hard, but it still manages to be fun. I'm surprised at how much like Metroid it actually is, and that is by no means a bad thing. I love how you're collecting Rainbow Drops to open doors that require a certain amount, it reminds me of spending hours getting stars in SM64. I really hope something better doesn't come out next month, but this seems like a game I'll be playing for a while.
EDIT: @SKTTR, I didn't notice your post before I made mine. That's funny that you described it in the same way that I did.
Anyways, I've always liked physics. I'm thinking of going into theoretical physics, actually. So a good physics-based challenge is always great in my book.
Is there any DLC available for TNT Racers yet? I was actually giving this game some consideration, but I don't want to be let down by a lack of DLC like Moto Heroz. Adverstising any game as having DLC is definitely a selling point and shouldn't be disregarded.
I would say to get Bomberman Blast. It's such a fun little game to just pop in and play alone, locally, and online (there are still people that do play this game online)!
Also, Pop and Defend Your Castle are fun games to just pass the time with. They may not get the high review scores, but I loved them!
Just a little recommendation for TORIBASH - Violence Perfected which I now started to play online (it´s still active).
It´s a physics&round-based online fighting choreography simulator.
It´s probably the most realistic fighter ever made: you can choose the parts and muscles of the body you want to move and use. Matrix style air fighting is possible, just as well as Wrestling, Judo, Capoeira, Karate, and just everything. If you don´t like the fighting aspect you can make your character dance, doing somersaults, or... well... make love (and save and share funny replays). After some fiddling around you´ll find unlimited depth in this game. And if you decide to fight this can be more brutal and satisfying than any Mortal Kombat. With lots of bodyliquids and parts flying around.
Bottom line: Best fighter on Wii. (Well, next to Brawl) And just 10 bucks.
I would say the Bit.Trip games, Lilt Line, Art Style light trax, Contra Rebirth, and Rage of the Gladiator are about as hard-core as you're going to get on WiiWare.
thank you for saying that, Guy Whose Name Lacks Vowels
I've been trying to not get angry at someone using the term "core games" unironically
Yes, the pigeon-holing of all games into either "core" or "casual" categories is yet another one of the many idiotic things that Microsoft has brought to the VG industry this generation. I shake my head everytime I have to fill out a Club Nintendo survey and it asks whether I thought the game was more core or casual. (Then I answer by flipping a coin.) I don't care if a game is more "core" or "casual", I just care that it's fun to play!
Hey NLife! I'm looking for some core/hardcore games to download to my Wii(WiiWare and Virtual Console). Any recommendations?
Mega Man 10 is an awesome hardcore WiiWare game. Cave Story, AYIM, and World of Goo are great hardcore games too, except you could find those 3 games for a lot less on your PC.
For the Virtual Console you could check out The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Monster World IV, Final Fantasy III, Chrono Trigger, and Strider.

The Turbografx imports are 700pts as well, or you could get a 500pts WiiWare game with Pay&Play DLC.
Even better, get one of the many good games for 500 or 600pts. Makes more sense.
From the games listed above I can only recommend Ant Nation. Rated it 7/10.
It wasn't all that great though, and got repetitive but the idea was unique enough, with 100 levels and thousand of ants to level up individually and tons of achievements to have me spent 15 hours on it, and that was quite good value for the price (I'd buy a sequel that adds to the experience).
Chronos Twins DX is good if you're into difficult action platformers.
Pop was extremely repetitive and boring to me, but it's very polished for what it is (the soundtrack is pretty good).
Trenches Generals' controls felt broken and with only 15 campaign missions it's very short as well. It was interesting, but felt unfinished.
And The Mystery of Whiterock Castle has surprising flaws for a "spot the stuff" game. It could have been pretty good, but ultimately there are better, cheaper ones on WiiWare.
Haven't played the rest...
