"The problem with this is that it is unclear which questions are the user generated ones and which ones came with the game. There is nothing to distinguish them, and so you won’t necessarily know when you’ve used up all of your user-generated questions."
Actually, user-generated questions display a symbol in the middle above the timer showing the logo of the Creator Mode.
S'about time. Even if they're not the greatest. Also, this news post is misleading. I got really excited about having a Mario-themed binder but was disappointed to see that they're only folders. Please rectify!
Guarantee we'll get Eat Fat Fight next/next next update. Thought we'd get it first since its been ESRB-rated for months now. Personally, 1,000 seems very high to me. Can't wait to hear how Starship Patrol turns out!
Thanks for the great review. You convinced me to get it when I get the chance. Glad to know it's a worthwhile journey. I definitely got the impression that it's an impressive game. Much like the above poster, before Sunsoft announced they were bringing this to the VC, I never knew this game existed. For shame!
(Side-note: Heads up, Corbie. Just thought I'd point this out to you: "Visually, Blast Master"...)
Too bad it turned out to be a flop. Thought this one had potential. The game sounds very frustrating, probably because of the apparent lack of care that went into the control system. I can understand them trying to make the game challenging but when the controls don't work the way they should, players are bound to give up (especially with the limited chances for mistakes). Excellent review.
Well covered, Corbs. The lack of multiplayer is shocking. And it would be an easier recommendation if it were 500 points. 1,000 is gonna turn away a lot of people.
@Sean_Aaron: It doesn't make a difference. It just sounds more of the fact that the review wasn't read thoroughly (perhaps just the score was looked at).
I believe it also. This is awful, though. I understand why they'd do this, but still.... It definitely raises an eyebrow. And I completely agree with the above sentiments regarding 64 releases: it explains a lot, really. And I mean, c'mon, N64 is dying to be supported. Can only hope VC starts off and continues strong at the start of 2010...

Re: Nintendo Download: Tomena Sanner, Happy Hammerin', Dragon's Lair, Miami Nights and Texas Hold'em (EU)
TOMENA SANNER is nearly upon us!!!!
Re: Review: Sudoku Sensei (DSiWare)
@irken004: Agreed. Was worth it for me.
Re: Review: Puzzle Series 2: Illust Logic + Colourful Logic (Wii)
I'd be REALLY pleased if Hudson brought this over since I enjoy Picross DS very much.

Re: Review: Eco Shooter: Plant 530 (WiiWare)
It's a shame this didn't turn out to be worth 1,000 because of the length. Would pick this up in a snag for 500. I think we need a sale on this one!
Re: Celebrate The Holidays With Cheaper Sega Virtual Console Titles
How great is this! Who knew VC sales could happen. Sonic 1 and Puyo Puyo for 500? How tempting...
Re: Magic Obelisk Raises Up on December 28th
How exciting! Been waiting on this one. Interesting tidbit: JPN got this for 1,000 and we're getting it for 500!
Re: Feature: For Your Consideration - Henry Hatsworth in The Puzzling Adventure
Such a great game. One of the best games to feature blended gameplay in a while and use it exceptionally well.
Re: Review: Starship Patrol (DSiWare)
Yes! Can't wait. Love Tower Defense.
Re: Review: Miami Nights: Life in the Spotlight (DSiWare)
Well handled, there. Verdict wasn't a big surprise. Also, its official that American Popstar is the better game of the two.
Re: Dragon's Lair DSiWare Trailer Released
Can't wait.
Re: Furry Legends coming to WiiWare in 2010
Great to hear. Looks like it got some improvements in the graphics department as well!
Re: Nintendo Download: 22-23 December 2009 (Japan)
Hope we get Othello. And Jazzy Billiards. Wow, Arc System Works is really getting into Wi-Fi support now.
Re: Review: Pole's Big Adventure (WiiWare)
Highly doubt it's coming...
Re: Club Nintendo US Update: Binders, Bookmarks and Cards, Oh My
S'about time. Even if they're not the greatest. Also, this news post is misleading. I got really excited about having a Mario-themed binder but was disappointed to see that they're only folders. Please rectify!
Anyway, I may end up getting the Bowser set.

Re: GameShastra to Support WiiWare
Looks like Tumblebugs is coming this month.
Re: High Stakes Texas Hold'em
Smart of Hudson to nab this idea before other developers do.
Re: Feature: For Your Consideration - Punch-Out!!
Love this feature you got going. Can't wait to see more articles.
Re: Review: Blaster Master (Virtual Console / NES)
Thanks for the great review. You convinced me to get it when I get the chance. Glad to know it's a worthwhile journey. I definitely got the impression that it's an impressive game.

Re: Review: Diatomic (WiiWare)
Too bad it turned out to be a flop. Thought this one had potential. The game sounds very frustrating, probably because of the apparent lack of care that went into the control system. I can understand them trying to make the game challenging but when the controls don't work the way they should, players are bound to give up (especially with the limited chances for mistakes). Excellent review.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15-16 December 2009 (Japan)
Would love to try Zaxxon.
To you guys wondering about PW, it's coming January 2010.
Re: Review: Stop Stress: A Day of Fury (WiiWare)
I was surprised it got the review it did. Good job, Sean. I expected more criticism given certain elements in the game.
Re: Stop Stress: A Day of Fury
Just a heads-up for people that read this page, the controls are not broken as vonseux claims.
Re: See in the New Year with Happy Hammerin'
S'about time this one is coming!
Re: Viral Survival: NIS America's Next WiiWare Project?
@Obj_Blaster: ESRB says it's coming. That was months ago.
Re: Review: My Dolphin (WiiWare)
Too bad. Didn't think it would fare this poorly.
Re: EnjoyUp Soccer
Sweet.
Re: The Mystery of Whiterock Castle
Hope it does well. Looks great.
Re: Puzzle Series 2: Illust Logic + Colourful Logic
Would be great to see this over here.
Re: Stop Stress This Monday
Ooh. Wasn't expecting this on Monday. This should be good.
Re: Flowerworks Blasts Onto US WiiWare Monday
Looking forward to it.
Re: Review: Bookworm (DSiWare)
Too bad they didn't add more modes or multiplayer but it's still good.
Re: Review: Christmas Clix (WiiWare)
Well covered, Corbs. The lack of multiplayer is shocking. And it would be an easier recommendation if it were 500 points. 1,000 is gonna turn away a lot of people.
Re: Yet Another Sonic Collection Inbound - This Time For DS
Not terribly excited. Not just cause I knew beforehand but it's just that the collection could be a bit stronger.
Re: Bookworm
Yes! Can't wait to get it.
Re: Nintendo Download: Monkey Island, Zoos, 'Copters, Face Stealing and Puzzles! (US)
Solomon's Key! YAY! Too bad I have the NES version already.
Re: Review: Solitaire (WiiWare)
@Sean_Aaron: It doesn't make a difference. It just sounds more of the fact that the review wasn't read thoroughly (perhaps just the score was looked at).
Re: Interviews: Christmas Clix - JV Games
Oh, I thought it was only 500 Points. Wonder how it'll do sales-wise being the first holiday-based WiiWare game in our catalog.
Tough crowd indeed, Corbie...
Re: Monsteca Corral
Looks weird...
Re: Rabbids Lab
Looking forward to hearing more on how this turns out.
Re: Review: Electroplankton Luminarrow (DSiWare)
Oh most definitely. Great job reviewing these games.
Re: Review: Electroplankton Marine-Crystals (DSiWare)
Glad to know this is one of the better ones. Thanks for convincing me to give it a go.
@irken004: Two other titles got a 6/10 and yes, it's the highest score that has been awarded to an EP game.
Re: Review: Electroplankton Sun-Animalcule (DSiWare)
Agreed, Adam. I'm enjoying this one as well and I also don't understand the constant concern over the individual releases.
Re: Review: Electroplankton Varvoice (DSiWare)
Ouch. Can't say I'm totally surprised since the game was rendered obsolete by the DSi's voice application.
Re: Review: Super Mario Kart (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
Also really happy it's finally out as I can finally experience this game properly. I'm enjoying it so far.
Re: Nintendo Preloading DSi's For Black Friday
What, so Canadians are out of luck? >_>
Not that I care since I have a DSi but still...
Re: Nintendo Download: Karts, Blobs, Bits, Shops, Tournaments, PooYoos, Castles, Notebooks and More Plankton (US)
Amazing update!!!!
Re: Nintendo Blocking Third Party Releases On Virtual Console?
I believe it also. This is awful, though. I understand why they'd do this, but still.... It definitely raises an eyebrow. And I completely agree with the above sentiments regarding 64 releases: it explains a lot, really. And I mean, c'mon, N64 is dying to be supported. Can only hope VC starts off and continues strong at the start of 2010...
Re: Review: myNotebook (DSiWare)
I may get two myself. Looking forward to having it released tomorrow. Good review.
