May end up getting this if it turns out good mostly because the WiiWare version sounded decent just overpriced; this, on the other hand, is much more reasonable. Perhaps they've included some new features as well.
MySims Camera clearly has a large appeal esp. at 200 Points so perhaps many were enticed by that simply by their experiences with past games. I'm definitely in agreement that Ninty should be marketing their services more. Hopefully Photo Clock will fall off the chart by next week.
I loved the stance you took with this review. And I'm very pleased to see the Family series has improved -- Pirate Party, then Mini Golf, flop with Slot Car but back to improving with Tennis. I may very well download this after all.
@longtimegamer: That picture looks like it's from a different game entirely. Deca Sports?
Looks like I'll be spending my remaining 200 Points on the Mario Calculator after all. Thanks for the review. It was handled pretty well consideing what you had to work with.
What an excellent review! Well done indeed. And kudos to the developers for going so strong with the presentation aspect. If you wanna do it, you better do it right!
Anyway, really excited that Cubes has finally arrived and I'm not surprised to see MySims Camera head our way also - waiting for a review.
And why did we get Family Tennis first? Card Games was released in Japan before Tennis was finished being developed and Card Games was confirmed by the ESRB before Tennis was.... Anyway... hopefully Tennis won't do as bad as Slot Car Racing as it seems like it might have potential. I'm not expecting anything big though. Still kinda disappointed we didn't get something else though.. oh and I expected 3 games today. Oh well.
VC game is great. Finally another C64 game but why couldn't it have been I want? Hopefully we'll be getting more C64/VCA games now...
Except for a couple run-on sentences, it was a great review, Sean! I'm really glad to hear, too, about the audio qualty in the game especially since I'm big on game music. I'll definitely give this a shot when it comes to NA. This is the second game that uses the "Tetris" concept and turns it into something even better -- the first being the overlooked Groovin' Blocks.
I bet Corbie is as happy as I am to see the game turn out to be a solid experience.
Fantastic! Here are some of my suggestions: The Lost Vikings Bust-a-Move Troddlers Wrecking Crew 98 Mario is Missing Micro Machines Bubsy Pac-Man 2 Hyper Zone Pocky and Rocky Secret of Evermore Space Megaforce Goof Troop
@Objection_Blaster: We already have... two actually. Plus there's more coming. Besides, Mart Racer isn't a "racing game" by definition anyhow.
It's too bad the game turned out this way. I had a feeling the controls didn't look well-mapped but I never imagined they'd be this bad. A bit of a shame, really. Excellent review, Gabbo!!
Paint misbehavin'? Couldn't be more original than stealing the name of the mini-game in Mario Party 8... These lines get cheesier and cheesier every time don't they?
Anyway, I'm enjoying the game thus far and I appreciated the review, C_B. I think this is the first review you've written that I've enjoyed reading. You've definitely improved since your Incoming review.
Nice to know the game does have some redeeming qualities. Always look forward to your import impressions especially since many games as of late have been heading our way (even ones we didn't think would).
Nope, it's 500. I, too, would like to know the differences cause it may affect my decision to purchase this after I got the NES version earlier in the year. This game is great, don't let the premise fool you.

Re: Review: Biker Mice From Mars (Super Nintendo)
Never heard of it before. I'll be sure to take notice if a VC release happens. Thanks for the review!
Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - October 2009
Kirby Super Star?! No way! S'about time. KSSU is amazing though but even still, I'll be getting KSS.

Re: Family Tennis
Where's Family Cards?
Re: Brain Cadets
More brain training games, nice. If it does better than Brain Challenge then I may give it a shot.
Re: WiiWare & DSiWare London Event - DSiWare Coverage
Great impressions! Can't wait to get Pop Island!

Re: The Lost Vikings
Would gladly try this if it came to the VC.
Re: Super Tennis
@pixelman: Cool! If it comes to the VC, I'll keep my eye out. I love tennis games!
Re: Stunt Race FX
This game caught my eye a while back but I've never played it. If it's decent, I'd be happy to give it a try if it came to the VC.
Re: Interviews: Learning with the PooYoos - Lexis Numérique’s Djamil Kemal
Same here. Nice interview!
Re: Interviews: Spaceball Revolution - Virtual Toys
A really nice read, indeed. Thanks for the great interview guys.
Re: First Impressions: Derby Dog (WiiWare)
Had my interest since it came out. Still secretly hoping it comes here, especially for its online play. I could definitely seeing it come over
Re: Super Nintendo Review Fridays
Fantastic! Here are some of my suggestions:
The Lost Vikings
Bust-a-Move
Troddlers
Wrecking Crew 98
Mario is Missing
Micro Machines
Bubsy
Pac-Man 2
Hyper Zone
Pocky and Rocky
Secret of Evermore
Space Megaforce
Goof Troop
Re: MySims Camera
Hope it turns out good!

Re: Art of Balance
Looking forward to hearing more on this one!
Re: Manic Monkey Mayhem
Sounds interesting (more than I previously thought). Also, I had no idea the game had online up until this point so that holds some promise as well.
Re: Fast Draw Showdown
Yeah, I have a feeling it'll be in the vein of their Mad Dog Wii release but I could be wrong.
Re: The Price is Right
If Family Feud comes to DSiWare/WiiWare, I'll be very happy.
Re: VT Tennis 2010
I got a feeling they'll include some good things in this.
Re: Legendo Takes to the Skies with Pearl Harbor Trilogy
Looking into Wii Motion Plus would be stellar. But this definitely catches my eye. Hope it turns out for the better (and not like Wing Island).
Re: Gravitronix Gameplay Trailer Released
Yep, Warlords was the first thing I thought of. I really hope it turns out good. Been waiting for this for such a long time.

Re: Help People Get Their Wii Consoles Online, Get Free Games
Europe is actually getting this? If we don't get this here, I'll be even more ticked.
Re: Review: Texas Hold'em Poker (WiiWare)
@Gabbo: On the same side of the token, it also sounds like it's substantially worse than Texas Hold'em Tournament.
Sorry, but you walked right into that one.
Re: Canada Drops DSi Price
Just got my White DSi today for $184.99 ($5 more) at Future Shop with a free copy of Big Brain Academy.
Re: Nintendo Download: Spaceballs, Shopping Carts, Poker, Street Challenges, Art and Toys (US)
@JTC: Since February...
Re: Toys R Us Get In On Wii Price Drop Shenanigans
As good as confirmed. Much like with the White/Pink DSi listings.
Re: Review: Solomon's Key (Virtual Console / Virtual Console Arcade)
Thanks for saying so, Manaman.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15-16 September 2009 (Japan)
My Zoo in Japan first, hm? Like I didn't see that comin'. Wonder how the Penguin game will turn out.
Re: Nintendo Download: Spaceballs, Shopping Carts, Poker, Street Challenges, Art and Toys (US)
Mart Racer is finally here, huh? Definitely not getting it right away at that price...
Yes for Crash 'n the Boys!
Re: Nintendo Channel Gets An Update in North America
YES!!!
Re: Spaceball: Revolution Coming to NA on Monday
Looking forward to it.

Nope, it's 500. I, too, would like to know the differences cause it may affect my decision to purchase this after I got the NES version earlier in the year. This game is great, don't let the premise fool you.
Re: Spaceball: Revolution
Can't wait to try this out for myself.
Re: Rooms: The Main Building Coming To Wii, DS
Can't wait to hear more!
Re: Nintendo Download: Rygar, Solomon's Key, Spaceball and Solitaire (EU)
Solomon's Key VCA!!!! Congrats guys!
Hoping Solitaire turns out well.
Re: My Zoo
Looks more charming, indeed.
Re: My Dolphin
Could be decent.
Re: Read Your Horoscope with the Today and Tomorrow Channel
Meh... Much rather have the NC update or the Wii no Ma channel.
Re: Pluck A Plush Pikmin From Club Nintendo EU
@Ezekiel: Not yet. In EU you can.
