If this gets good reviews, I think I will import. DS games from another region still work fine on a DSi, right? Right?

I totally want this- but I live in the US. Maybe I can import it...

Woah. Interesting.

I agree with him a bit. Sure, there are TONS of poorly made games on the app store, but there's also a couple of gems. Like Cut the Rope, Angry Birds, Tiny Wings. They're wonderful ways to pass the time, but I think I would rather play Chrono Trigger for hours on end than those games.
Also, I don't like Zynga and never will, after reading an article about them: http://www.sfweekly.com/2010-09-08/news/farmvillains/

I have to say I've never played them. Heard of them several times, but I'm a little young to actually have been able to play them. If they come out for 3DS, I'd definitely be interested, that's for sure. But in order to play them, I'd have to get a 3DS first.

@48 Hey, I'm having the same problem. Except it's a refurbished system... so no warranty.
I'm wondering how much the repair would cost. Do you know?

I think it's another way for web pages to display video.

I hope the browser doesn't suck, because I like the Opera browser for DSi. It's relatively fast (as long as you go to texty websites) and it's portable. I'd been fine with Netfront, if it wasn't for the fact apparently their web browser sucks. Now I'm worried.

Interesting... I'd give it a try, even though I have practically no programming experience. But the possibilities are kinda cool.

I got Rock edition, and that worked for me. Not sure if I'll get this one... but like edhe said, if they released a chiptune one, I'll spring for that.

Erm, I'm kinda on the fence here... I've already played through Cave Story on the PC, but I'm wondering if I should get this game rather than Shantae... Because I only have 2000 Nintendo points. Which one would you recommend?

Considering how awesome the PC game is, I'm looking forward to this one. But I think I'd like new features, like the WiiWare version, because the original was free, and as great as the game is, I'd like more justification.

Wow. But somehow, I was expecting this. Like almost every other person out there.

  Hmph. I hope while you play that game you think up all of us Kiwi-less people out there.

"Yes you can. You can do whatever you want with the hardware. You can put anything you want on it, including ROMs. You however cannot download those ROMs. You may back them up as I do."

Eh? Am I missing something here? Just because you bought that product means you can do illegal things with it?
Uh.... no. At least, not in my opinion (which is probably biased). Time for an example.
If you buy a gun, does that mean you can just start shooting people (and not get arrested for it)?
And if you accuse me of comparing apple to oranges, let's use another example.
If you bought every component of your computer, and you use it to scam other people through phishing, are you breaking the law? Yes. Will you be convicted of a crime? Yes.

And as for the 'You cannot download those ROMs' bit, I'm sure you know that's what about a gazillion of people do anyways. That is dependent on the honor system, and sadly, some people out there don't follow it.

As for the complaints for the homebrewers, I think that Nintendo can form a compromise with them. How? Make the DSi shop more accessible. Make it about as open as the App store for iPhones/iTouches. That way, anybody could get their programs on for the masses to see. I'm pretty doubtful that will happen, though.

@RowdyRodimus

Yeah, sometimes the people go out and buy the games after pirating. But most of the time? They never will. Judging by my experience, people generally don't spend money to play the game the way it was supposed to be played than for free. Some of my friends have stolen some games... and to date, they've only bought a couple of the games they stole.
What you're talking about is the honor system - if somebody pirates a game, they'll pay for it later. However, what's going to make them do so? They don't feel pressured by the law, because they are aware of the fact that there's a million other pirates out there. They're safe in a huge, huge crowd. And about supporting the developers? Don't make me laugh! Some people just don't care, or rationalize it by saying, "There's a bunch of other people out there who'll pay, so why should I?". It's sorta a overused expression, but in this case, it's absolutely true.
Oh, and by the way, are you seriously suggesting that the companies arrest every single pirate out there?

Love this game like heck. :3 The learning curve is pretty steep, though - it takes a while to get used to it, which is why a 9 is a good rating (even though the fanboy in me demands a 10). But... this game came out ages ago. Why are you reviewing such an awesome game now?

Drat. Just drat.

Cannot cannot cannot wait. This trailer makes me happy.
@28 A spinoff? It looks like it has all the features of the original game. I thought spinoffs usually had some defining difference between the gameplay (Like, say Soulsilver/Heartgold and Pokemon Ranger).

I've heard lots of good things about this game. It would be awesome if it was released for the US. (But the name's a little wonky. Oh well.)

I really don't think that it looks like a goth Vulpix. Enough differences to make them two different pokemon, at least in my mind.

Starfox & Kirby for Wii would definitely be awesome. I would love to hear about a Pikmin 3, too. Starfox.... drools

I kinda wish they showed a longer gameplay video though, as it's way too short for me to get a good impression of it. Anyhow, I'm definitely interested.

The music sounds awesome, if a bit short.

@Donatello - Erm, I've only played a bit of MMZ4, but the Mega Man Zero games are known for their difficulty. Especially the first one, according to my brother. Mega Man Zero 4 is supposed to be a bit easier, though.

It'll be cool if ACT Series: Tango Choo Nichi Ei Hen came out here in the states. Maybe I could start playing some import games! (maybe)

Definitely considering this if I want to get a new DS. I'll try a demo first- but one of the major issues I had with the original DSi was the lack of a GBA slot.
@KiroX777
Er.... how do you know they 'downgraded' the speakers? Just because they don't look like the DSi's ones doesn't mean they're as good. The holes in the machine are just to let the sound out- they have no indication of the hardware inside.

Liked this one a lot! It came along with my DS - my dad bought it for me. I want to get SSU sometime. :3

I'm very interested in this game, but I was a bit disappointed that there seems to be no difference between the characters like in Super Mario Bros. 2 or Super Mario World. I kind of liked the idea that each character has their strengths and weakness. But that's just me.

I've always been a huge fan of Klonoa, ever since I got it's sequel for Christmas. I loved this game. and I agree with your review and score.
