When the update comes, if I'm interested, I'll get it.

... All right?

Free 3D Excitebike game? Well, I've never played any Excite game before, but free is always a good price for anything, except for maybe dieseases and death.

I really wouldn't mind if we had to wait until next year instead of having every high-profile game rammed down our throats in the holiday season. Just sayin'.

Awesome!

Perhaps. Then again, perhaps not.

Good review, you've got me sold. But whether it's on my 3DS or DSi remains...

Yep, because having legions of fickle people who will only support you until the next "killer app" for the iPhone (if you have the you-know-whats to call Angry Birds a killer app) is so much totally better than having just as (if not more, considering time) dedicated legions of fans who have been dedicated fans for years or decades compared to months.

While I'll probably get it, it's not a day one thing for me. I'm not to keen on re-buying a game simply because of a good porting job.

Well, with puzzle mode completely gone and way fewer minigames than the retail (even if around half of them were crap), I'm gonna stay with my retail version.

If the PvZ on DSiWare contains all (or a significant chunk) of the content on the cart version I'm gonna be pissed.

Interested in all 3, but that doesn't nessesarily mean I'll get any of them...

Probably gonna get SSFIV3D, Pilotwings Resort and Steel Diver as launch games. Those should keep me satisfied for awhile.

Sick.

Perhaps.

Perhaps Dark Spirits, but little more for me.

@Corbs - My thoughts exactly.

Nothing, but I have Plants vs. Zombies (and homework), so I'll live.

I'd go for a comprehensive package with every 2D Zelda made on a console or handheld, as I can always go back through the GC Collector's edition or find the other GC/Wii/DS games.

A lot of maybes for sure. I'm not sure whether my Plants vs. Zombies addiction will let me get these though.

Glory Days for sure, and perhaps Animal Boxing and Alien Puzzle Adventure as well for me.

Some of my questions:
1. What will the launch price of the 3DS in NA be?
2. What is the cost of the typical 3DS game, like Nintendogs + Cats or Steel Diver?
3. Will there be a way to turn off StreetPass mode?
4. What is the expected price(s) of 3DSWare games?
5. Will there be any restrictions on DSiWare transfers (Only w/o WiFi, only w/o camera, etc.)?
6. I recall some talk last year of the 3DS having it's own WiFi support, like PS3's and newer 360's. Can you confirm/deny this?
7. What systems will have VC support?
8. If I was to get a game's demo (like at a store's DS Download Station or through a game's "transfer a demo" feature), is there a way for me to save that demo?
9. Shoulder buttons: Can Nintendo confirm/deny that progress has been made to prevent them from not functioning properly?
10. If I transfer my DSiWare and let's say I have 300 Nintendo Points left on my DSi, will those transfer as well?

That's all I can think of at the moment. I may be back!

I'll have to see how this one pans out. 800 points is a little steep for a blind guess of a game.

Definitely considering it now.

Perhaps Surfacer+. Then again, perhaps not.

With the rapid advancement of graphics technology and everything else, that's kinda dissappointing. I'll still get it, but it's a little dissappointing.

Nice review, but I'll pass. Doesn't seem like my cup of tea, but it might be for someone else.

200 point tower defense game from odenis? Worth $2 to check it out, for sure.

Uh, maybe. I say that for everything, though, so I probably still won't get it.

I'll wait for the Alt-Play review. Otherwise, back to Vaynard's challenge!

@Ecto - My thoughts exactly.

In response to the last question of the article: Both.

Hmm, a decent week for DSiWare. I'll have to check out the new G.G game, but I'll probably pass on Challenge.

@longtimegamer - I'm sure SMB has made oodles of money for Team Meat on XBLA and PC at this point, but, it's still sad. Let's hope a publisher sees the logic in physically publishing this one. An expensive SMB is still a SMB nonetheless.

Umm, well, it's from Arc System Works, so that explains about 95% right there. Let's hope that it's way better than BlayzBloo was earlier this year.

For 3 (supposedly) amazing games for $2, it should be worth it.

Bleh. Nothing, as normal.

Meh, nothing for me. Still need to DL those demos and finish Cave Story.

@Arcanum - It's a rhythm-based game. You couldn't possibly be sucessful without the volume being on.

Gettin' CS soon.

About f****** time Tetris came to DSiWare. I may have to haul my Wii to a friend's house to grab the demos.

Knew it when I checked the Nicalis's Twitter link when it got posted in the forums. Can hardly wait!!

Back to waiting for Cave Story.

I should really get around to playing the first one more ...

Well, back to whatever I was playing before ...

If they can find a publisher, yes. My Wii isn't hooked up to the internet, so for I'd pay $20 for it.

Well, back to saving for Christmas.

Definitely sounds interesting and should be worth it when it arrives.

@PunnyGuy - The sad part about that statement is that it's probably true!

What about that Tetris game that was supposed to come out on DSiWare? Any news on that?
