It's an absolutely brilliant movie, however anyone who's seen the movie will know the ending and have little interest in the game. I predict a good game that will suffer from poor sales.
I know a lot of parents who have already reached that conclusion and shoulder the responsibility but this is the first time I've seen a group such as this come out and tell people they need to take responsibilty. Now if only Robert McClelland would get the hint.
Considering it appears to be more pattern sequencing than actual music creation, I reckon it's going to be more of a stepping stone to the more complex music game/apps like Korg DS-10 and Jam Sessions than a large stepping stone to producing fame.
The fact that you got me fully when I have repeatedly said DSiVC is not going to happen is an amazing feat. That was the most successful April Fools prank I have ever witnessed.
As a musician who does not have a pitch pipe, tuner, smartphone or computer program to tune instruments, I believe I am part of Nintendo's sole market for this product.
I watched that trailer then shouted "Woo". Then I shouted "Woo" a second time. Then I realised it sounded like a train and laughed for a bit. Then I realised I what I was laughing at and did not do anything for a while. Also this game will be awesome.
No-one's forcing you to buy it. I'm definitely going to get because it means one less thing I have to carry around just like with DSi Sound replacing my mp3 player, DSi Camera replacing my digital camera and Pop + Solo replacing my bubble blower. And for the record I though Pop+Plus was brilliant. Not the best ever but still a great purchase.
I hope this doesn't erupt into a war between Nnnooo and the makers of Extreme Hangman. Still I'm looking forward to not having to spend ages looking for a pen and paper to write down something important.
Skull-kid while possesed in Majora's mask was freaky as. But nowhere near as freaky as that final bit before the final boss battle with the field. I don't know why but after the moon crashing down those kids in the field gave me the creeps.
The main thing which I think every prospective-upgrader should be asking is "What about the DSiWare on my old DSi?" I really hope nintendo has some sort of solution to this other than "Buy it all again."
Extremely late but I absolutley loved it. I think I was the only person who didn't mind going back to the Ocean King Temple over and over again. The only problem I had was having to draw the hourglass in the fight with Bellum inside the temple.
Sony criticism-"LOL YOO PuT aNoTHeR ScrEN oN!1!" Nintendo criticism-"I'm terribly sorry but I can't see the improvement in your device.Can you please point it out for me?" NB:This is a dramatisation. Not an actual quote.
@Chicken -In the Curb Your Enthusiasm game you would misunderstand a puzzle, make a social faux pas and then spend the next 20 minutes being reprimanded for it.
This game reminds me a lot of some of the gym puzzles from Pokemon.
Good to see Europe getting a major release before the US.Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be like Flipnote how when the US got it released the day before Europe with no warning.

Re: Scribblenauts Sequel is Officially Super
Well colour me excited.
Re: Review: Surviving High School (DSiWare)
Considering how much I loved Sprung, which was the exact same type of game, I'm downloading this as soon as it comes to Australia.

Re: Top DS Toilet Timewasters
I do not have the most healthy of digestive systems which is why I spend my bathroom time sketching the toilet door in Art Academy.
Re: The Nintendo DS in Breakfast Form
If they put Marmite on it as opposed to Vegemite.....
Re: British R4 Card Importer Shipping Off To Prison
"High fives of justice"
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15 January 2010 (Europe)
For once I'm not going to defend NOE. This update is terrible.
Re: Review: High Stakes Texas Hold'em (DSiWare)
Does multiplayer have single-card download-play?
Re: Merry Christmas from Nintendo Life
I prefer 64 kid
Re: Nintendo Download: 25 December 2009 (EU)
At least I get Art Academy:First Semester.
Re: Nintendo Download: Earthworm Jim 2, Mahjong, Happy Holidays, Foto Face, Karaoke, Magic and Another Notebook (EU)
So yeah. The only 200 point game that I hear about and think "That could be pretty fun." isn't even released in Australia.
Re: Review: myNotebook (DSiWare)
Today I urgently needed to write some stuff down before realising I had left my pen at home and had no paper. This just became an urgent download.
Re: Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Intro Video
I watched that trailer then shouted "Woo". Then I shouted "Woo" a second time. Then I realised it sounded like a train and laughed for a bit. Then I realised I what I was laughing at and did not do anything for a while.
Also this game will be awesome.

Huzzah!

Re: Review: UNO (WiiWare)
Hopefully the DSiWare version will be better.
Re: Review: The Rub Rabbits! (DS)
A game better than Project Rub? Surely that claim is enough to warrant a purchase immediately. I wish I could track down a copy though.
Re: Sparkle Snapshots
I doubt it will get to number three at that price
Re: Review: Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ (DSiWare)
A full retail game only available in Europe. Hooray.
Re: Nintendo To Bring 3G Connectivity To The DS?
That's the best idea I've heard recently. Hopefully they can follow that "Not paying for connection" statement through.
Re: It's Official: Big-Screen DSi LL is Confirmed
JayArr if you listen very carefully you may be able to hear my applause. That was an excellent call.

Re: Live Down Under? Try New Nintendo Games!
Damnit I'm in NSW but too far away from sydney.

Re: Spirit Tracks "Pushes DS Even Further" Than Prequel
I just hope the Wi-Fi can use the advanced connections because my network is WPA not WEP which means no Wi-Fi apart from DSiWare.
Re: Rumour: New Mario In the Works?
Maybe some sort of DSiWare Mario exclusive perhaps?
Re: Review: A Boy and His Blob (Wii)
I can't believe you didn't mention that pressing up on the D-Pad makes the boy hug the blob.
Re: Review: Wakugumi - Monochrome Puzzle (DSiWare)
How does this compare to Polarium?
Re: Miyamoto Open To The Idea of User-Generated Content
Well they're already heading to do that with Warioware:DIY
Re: Big Ben To Release Exercise Bike For Wii
And the award for most ironicly useless periphiral goes too...The Wii Excercise Bike which is the same size as a real excercise bike!
Re: Captain Lou Albano Passes Away
You shall never be forgotten Lou. Rest in Pipes.

Re: Review: Art Style: INTERSECT (DSiWare)
This is the essential Art Style game.
I cannot stress that enough.
Re: Review: Thorium Wars (DSiWare)
Brilliant review. Any idea of when it's being released in Europe?
Re: Check Out Some Jet Set Radio Wii Concept Art
I never played the first one but I loved Jet Set Radio Future.
Re: Mario and Link to Warm Your Winter
I'm definitely going to pre-order Zelda as soon as I can without a second thought..
Re: Review: Scribblenauts (DS)
I bet a lot of comments will be disagreeing with the score.
Still I can't until it's released in Australia next week.
Re: Review: Rayman DS (DS)
The only problems I had with it was moving diagonally,it glitched really bad in some places and there was no 1000th lum anywhere in the game.
Re: Miami Crisis (DS) Official Trailer
This looks like a really fun game
Re: First Bomberman Blitz Screenshots Released
Good to see Europe getting a major release before the US.Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be like Flipnote how when the US got it released the day before Europe with no warning.
Re: Review: Art Academy: First Semester (DSiWare)
I really can't wait for this to be released in Europe and Australia.
Re: Castle of Magic Trailer is Conjured Out of Thin Air
I take back my previous opinion that gameloft was terrible. This looks like a brilliant game.
