This is a game that I have preordered for US launch. Glad it got a great review. And I am glad that is can be played at a leisurely pace instead of an edge of your seat pace. My son (soon to be 4) loves the various videos I have found and I look forward to playing the game with him watching. Great review Corbie
I found this used at GS and gave it a try and ended up taking it back. It was meh at best and sometimes the controls didn't even work. Anyone try the sequel to see if it was better?
So far it has been a fun game. The only thing that I don't like is having to hit the X button to bring up my hot keys. I like in HeartGold that everything is there waiting. Is there a way to get that to happen in Black?
Now what about being able to transfer my DSiware that I have now? Is that going to be available day 1 or will I have to wait? At this point I will get the 3DS day one (paid off by trades and a gift card) but if I can't transfer right away, I will just test to make sure my system works and then put it away until the update hits. Otherwise when I do a user transfer to my 3DS from my DSi, any game saves would go away and it would become a new system again anyway. Boy my head hurts.
If it were not for my trades and a gift card, I would not get this on day one. When I read this I did think about cancelling, but with Animal Crossing coming out one day, I might as well get it. Most of the cost of my 3DS won't be coming out of my pocket and I am keeping my DSi.
Animal Crossing is the reason why I have preordered my 3DS. I am a big fan of the series (save for the Wii version). I loved the Cube version and bought the DS version on day 1 and have only missed 2 days of visiting my town. When the official date is announced, my preorder will be placed.
The TURN game looks promising. After checking the internets, it is on the iTunes French marketplace and not available til now in the States. I will download it today and give it a good going over and post on the DSiware board my impressions.
It's not too shabby a game for the points. Not being able to save midway is pretty crap. Still way better than the Hudson poker which is just a waste of points.
I got this as part of the Quest Trio cart and if you like this type of Mahjong it is definitely worth getting. It can usually be found for about $20. I have completed every board except the last one, which is a real stinker. I will beat it yet.
I agree that this game could have been better. I, myself, prefer games that have goals and unlockables. The AI, I felt, is pretty good. I have been enjoying the Hearts game immensely and it has been helping me not be lazy in paying attention to what is thrown out there. I was a little rusty at first and paid the price when I got stuck with that dredded queen. I think a 6 or 7 would be more fair of a rating for this game.
This is a cute game. And Leon makes noises when eating fruit and such. And to be honest, I usually have the sound off and listen to other stuff while playing games.
This is an insta-buy, especially when it hits this states this May at the $20 price point. There are videos online that show just how to play (which I appreciate) and I was a fan of the Mario Picross game way back in the day. I wish they would make THAT game a DSi download game.
Here's hoping for the DSi SD playability. It's time for it to happen Nintendo. Also, a DS Virtual Console would be awesome and would also warrant a need to read of off the SD card.
Yay for this coming out. I used to have the cartridge a long time ago but traded it in. Glad to have it as a download and have been enjoying it immensely. My only gripe is that you cannot really do much with your character, such as get more outfits and such. That would have been the icing on the cake for this game (at least for me )
This game is enjoyable and a bargain at the 200 point price. The review was good and I did not realize that there were some aspects that can be changed in the settings. As for the moving cards from the suit pile issue - that is usually not allowed anyway. It would have been nice to have that as an option to choose for those who want it.
This version of poker is WAY better than the Husdon version. I enjoy having a goal to go for instead of just playing and stopping with no purpose. For the price it is a really good poker game.
This would be a great game to play on the DSi since most of the time you are pointing and clicking. I spent many an hour playing this game. And this is one of the few that I actually beat on the NES.
Sweet jiblets - it's Princess Tomato! One of the few NES games that I actually beat back in the day. Now I feel old. And yes I would download it if it came to the States.
This game is 'meh' at best. A hint feature would have been nice. Or at the least, the animal should stay in the barn when it finally gets there instead of leaving while you try to get the others there. sigh
With all of the games that Hasbro makes, they put those 4 on the DS? Heavy sigh. Here's hoping they come up with other carts with some of their better games.
It is mediocre at best. No goals to shoot for. Not even an option to save if you want to leave. It is an ok game, but not worth 500 points. Should have been a 200 point game for what you get.
I must have been one of the people who did not like this game. I got it at Target when it got clearanced down to $7 and i ended up trading it at GameStop.

Re: Mario's Picross
I LOVED this game back in the day and was very excited when I heard that it is coming to the VC! Day 1 insta-buy!
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June 2011 (North America)
The Hearts Spades Euchre is a surprise, especially since there is no listing at the official DSware site:
http://www.nintendo.com/games/gameGuide?download=dsiware
I would like to see pics and/or video of it.
Re: Mystery Case Files Investigates Europe on 9th September
Hey I liked the DS one. Why wasn't this made for the DS anyway? Who the heck wants to play this with a Wiimote? DS makes more sense.
Re: Sony CEO Refers to Nintendo Handhelds as "Babysitting Tools"
I am 35 and am constantly being babysat by both my DSi and my 3DS.
Typical Sony crap.

So far it has been a fun game. The only thing that I don't like is having to hit the X button to bring up my hot keys. I like in HeartGold that everything is there waiting. Is there a way to get that to happen in Black?
Re: Review: Pokémon Black and White (DS)
Gonna get Black in a couple of hours. Now I need to figure out who to start with.

This game is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

Re: Review: The Seller (DSiWare)
The game has potential. If it had a REAL tutorial and the game's play was not so vague. I did actually win a game last night. Yay for me.
Re: Twisting and Matching 3D Objects Comes to DSiWare
This looks like a pass.

Re: Burst Bubbles Like Never Before in Bust-a-Move Universe
So far this is the only game I will pick up when it comes out for the 3DS.
Re: Review: Puzzler World 2011 (DS)
Any word as to if this will be coming to the States? The first one was fun and I actually completed all of the puzzles.
Re: Review: Snapdots (DSiWare)
This game is a definite must download. I got it on day one and have been really enjoying it.
Re: Review: Rummikub (DSiWare)
I think the rating was too low and the review a bit harsh. I downloaded it and have been enjoying it. I would have given it a 7.
Re: Wii Responsible for Worrying Wave of Bystander Injuries
Reading the aforementioned article reminded me of this video:

Re: Rummikub
This game is definitely worth the download. Now I am curious as to how many medals there are all together.

Re: Review: Mahjong Quest Expeditions (DS)
I got this as part of the Quest Trio cart and if you like this type of Mahjong it is definitely worth getting. It can usually be found for about $20.
I have completed every board except the last one, which is a real stinker. I will beat it yet.

Re: Upcoming Media Summit Promises Surprises, Hype
Here's hoping for the DSi SD playability. It's time for it to happen Nintendo.
Also, a DS Virtual Console would be awesome and would also warrant a need to read of off the SD card.
Re: Review: Flight Control (DSiWare)
Flight Control is an OK game - not great. It would have been nice if there were any missions or unlockables. Air Traffic Chaos was a better game IMO.
Re: Review: A Little Bit of... Nintendo Touch Golf (DSiWare)

Re: Review: Glow Artisan (DSiWare)
This game is definitely worth the 500 points. If you want a great puzzle game that has a lot to offer, plunk down the points and download it today.
Re: Glow Artisan
This is a very interesting game and if you like interesting puzzles games, then this is worth your downloading.
Re: The Oregon Trail
This game is definitely worth the download.

Re: Nintendo Download: Rayman, Notebooks, Stress Busting and Ninjas! (US)
Where or where is UNO? I know a bunch of us are waiting to drop 500 points on it. How come it is released everywhere else except the US?
