I actually downloaded the 2 Animal Crossing things for kicks. Still don't know why these aren't free when the moving memo is...could've been much more.
Well we were talking a while ago about the fact the Wii couldn't handle downloadable Dreamcast games. So, it's really not possible, and technically, really can't happen. The arcade version was released on NAOMI hardware, which was basically a Dreamcast but with more RAM, so even that would be hard to squeeze.
This has to be one of the most dissapointing updates, I was expecting Adventure Island or Smash Bros. or Decode or even Majora's Mask or Moving Memo but none of that happened. What a huge shame
Also, here's how I see it:
Japan: They get like 9 games a week and they're all fairly decent most of the time Europe: They only get about 2 VC games every other week and about 3 WiiWare/DSiWare games the filling weeks, so that's not much, but at least the stuff they get is all the good stuff! And then, there's us...the good 'n mighty US of A...you ready? USA: ONLY 1 (!) VC game, 2 DSiWare games, and 1 WiiWare game. That's all close to the amount of games Europe gets for DSiWare/WiiWare, and it's all stuff we don't care about, just mostly shovelware? Why? Because obviously, Nintendo doesn't really care about us in this department. Why?
Hah, I live in Melrose, about 30 minutes away from Boston. I could be there. And, yes, will said Ms. Knowles be at any of these, specifically the Boston one then I'd be sold. Lol
@Ratengo: So what I heard of this a long time ago was that it would basically be an On-Demand service, but come to find out it's only family oriented stuff? Go figure. I was hoping to download Step Brothers or something lol.
I'm actually a bit suprised by the DSi selling so strongly. None of my friends own it or have even heard of it. But as I've said a million times, I'm getting mine soon.
Well I'm getting my DSi this week so at least I won't have any catching up to do, since crap was released this week and nothing last week, that still only leaves the ones at launch. I gotta get just Wario Ware and Aquia.
There's also a G&W Collection 2, but it kinda sucks because there are only Parachute and Octopus, two singlescreen games, and Parachute x Octopus, a mix of the two.
I got this on ebay from Japan about a year ago, if only I knew it would ever come out in America (d'oh) but I really like it, the dual screen games in game and watch collextion aren't very good, were these are pretty much emulated perfectly. I give it an 8.

Re: Nintendo Download: Crystal Defenders R2, Penguins & Friends, PiCOPiCT and Pop Superstar
Of course they get PicoPict right after we do, but we have to wait a month for Decode after them? Come on...
Re: Groovin' Blocks Coming To Europe Soon
Should I download this ever?
Re: Mighty Flip Champs!

Re: Solitaire DSi
Yeah, most have this on their computers, but this is portable. Not bad for 200, I'm buying it.
Re: Review: Art Style: PiCTOBiTS (DSiWare)
This is by far the best DSi game. It's fantastic, I can't put it down. The difficulty is just right, it easily deserves the 9 it gets.
Re: Nintendo Download: Masks, Crystals, Chess and Art (US)
I'm very pleased! Not only MM but PicoPict. Very nice!! First good update in a LONG time, I'll say!

Re: Contra ReBirth Announced, Approaching
Wow, what's with all the good news for May 8th guys, huh?
Re: Review: Animal Crossing Clock (DSiWare)
I guess Nintendo makes too much money that it gives them an excuse not to think for the fans. Why should this cost anything.
Re: Nintendo Download: Clocks, Calculators, Penguins and Towers (US)
I actually downloaded the 2 Animal Crossing things for kicks. Still don't know why these aren't free when the moving memo is...could've been much more.
Re: OFLC Update: Super Mario Kart Finally Coming!
If only the news of the more recent weekly Nintendo releases was as exciting as this.
Re: Review: Galaxy Force II (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)

Re: Review: Jewel Quest Solitaire (DS)

Hey is this coming to America, JOOC (Just Out Of Curiosity)?

Re: Nintendo Download: 28 April 2009 (Japan)
@ Ratengo: That's probably it, whew! So that flies by me.

Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - May 2009
Famicom Wars is really awesome.
Re: Europe Gets Adventure Island: The Beginning On WiiWare Tomorrow

Re: Review: Sutte Hakkun (Super Nintendo)
I never heard of it before so I tried it on an emulator it's actually pretty damn fun.
Re: Review: Dr. Mario Express (DSiWare)
I'm actually suprised, I was expecting a 6 or 7, even though I think it's fun as hell.

Re: Konami Announces Driift for WiiWare
This is very similar looking to an arcade game Konami released called Escape Kids.
Re: Mighty Flip Champs! On Nintendo Channel
I'm getting my DSi very soon, just gotta find a day to pick it up and sell all my old DS's
Re: Review: Game & Watch Collection (DS)
There's also a G&W Collection 2, but it kinda sucks because there are only Parachute and Octopus, two singlescreen games, and Parachute x Octopus, a mix of the two.

Re: Nintendo Download: Mixed Messages, Pitfalls, Magic Tricks and Pirates (US)
I just wish I was in Europe or Japan right now...and I've been wanting the DSi lately. Only 40 bucks short NOOOO!!

Hopefully we get another Twinbee and Parodius on WiiWare, too! And hopefully they bring Xexex to VC Arcade.
Re: Get Ready For Even More WarioWare!
Guys, this is a full blown DS title.And no you don't need the DSi to play it, so Yay!
