@Rezon the DSiware Electroplanktons are the exact same thing as the cartridge ones, except it takes longer to switch between them now [they are each a diffferent game on the menu]
@Chicken I have always called it the dot to dot game. I can think of a million games you can play with paper. I'm not sure I want this, though. Depends if I have points after the games I want.
@MrPanic actually, the review and almost everyone who commented on the review said it was one of the better games. Seems like a good week for EU-Rumble, Uno, and my notebook.
OOH I play tennis a lot so I will get this if it looks at least slightly fun. I need a portable tennis game [that's actually fun and playable on a DSi]
@SmaMan I also don't want to start a comment war. However, Catholicism is similar to Christianity, but different in certain practices. In this case though, I would consider this game more catholic. In my church, we've had a bowling alley, a Disco Ball, a water wall, and now we have a basketball court [which doubles as a tennis and volleyball court.]
I should restate what I said. I'm not really offended, but this insulting in that this game is stupid, and is therefore portraying christianity [my religion] in a bad manner. When I saw this, I didn't say, "Gasp! They insullted my religion! I am deeply and utterly insulted and dissapointed!" I saw the trailer and said "I hope this is a joke." Somehow, I doubt shaking a remote and pressing a button is going to bring you closer to God-it'll probably bring you closer to your video games. BTW I'm glad this is Nintendo Life and not youtube, or there would be a 2,000 comment war on religion.
I've played a Pokemon game before, and it wasn't very fun, leading me to the conclusion that Pokemon isn't fun in general. But the demo for this game proved me wrong! I thought it was fun, but I screamed when I saw the screen going black and turning into the Wii shop channel.
I myself was never interested in this game-I prefered minis march again. Congrats to Europe, though! Hopefully you'll start getting a bunch of good DSiware games!
I would only recall a game if it was made of lead. Some "offensive language" doesn't bother me. I understand that its because of kids, but odds are they wouldn't get it anyways. Compare language in this game to the original conkers bad fur! That didn't get recalled!
To be honest, I just hope that the game is hard. If there is a superguide, then I will never use it, if there isn't a superguide, fine by me. I just don't want it as easy as SMG 1. There were only a few levels that challenged me [mostly the ones where you do things rolling on balls]
I can see why some people would think its dull, but it's all a matter of opinion. Some people like games like this and some don't. I myself am getting it as soon as my gamestop has points cards in stock
@imapterodactyl You're right, I probably could've worded things nicer, but ODOGG618 wasn't exactly nice either. I'm quoting him here talking to corbie. "The only one who'd have a gigantic pile of 9's is you, Corbie...If you don't want your reveiws to be critiqued, don't write them. ..the review is totally biased ...Great review? I strongly disagree...." Saying Corbie gave it an unrealistic rating, calling him totally biased, and saying it was a bad review is not exactly what I would call polite...
I apoligize for any hostility from me. Although, ODOGG618, it would be nice if you state your opinion without insulting anyone
@ ODOGG618 perfect scores are not handed out frequently. I've only seen two since I discovered this website, and that was a while ago. A perfect score by Corbie is next to impossible.
I love these demos! I wish that nintendo would have downloadable demos for DSiware so you could play them whenever you want without having to have a wii with you. [and internet on the wii]
@BenjyC Is you name benjamin? Cause Benjamin is an amazing name [my name is Benjamin too ]
@ODOGG618 There can always be something better about everything. Only God is perfect. Because nothing is perfect, sometimes you have to be content with what is given. Asking for more will never make you happier, and in this case, it's resulted in lots of people looking at you from a very different perspective. First impressions are important, and generally insulting a very good reviewer does not make a good impression.
Actually, you should ALWAYS be content, not just sometimes.
@Monkeh Hmm... Thats a very good idea! Plus, His reviews would never be a 10! So a game that was spectacular wouldn't get the score it deserves! Fantastic
@ODOGG618 I doubt Corbie would have that many 9s. He hardly even gives 8s it seems. Seeing as Corbie did write this review, I'll critique it. A fair unbiased review highlighting the games main features and distinguishing between good and bad aspects. I would rate this review a 10/10
I hope this is either 200 or free. If its anything more, I won't get it. I love the idea though, and I hope it can save writing so I can write stories and doodle.
@Corbie lol that would make it SO much easier to tell good games from really good games! The good games are only 9s, but the really good games are AMAZING 9s @masterworld Yeah, it really is better to wait for the price drops or buy used. I waitied 3 weeks and got a 50 dollar game for 15 dollars used. 2 weeks later, it was 30, so I have no idea what was happening to the value. Some games like electroplankton start at 35 dollars, and are now a minimum of 60 on ebay :/
I was never really interested in horror movies. I love horror survival games, but only because you get to shoot things This game for me is meh. Definitely not buying it.
I love music, I come from a professional singer family, but Wii music just never interested me. I would rather play the real instrument, and I think that a lot of the instruments like clarinet don't sound anything like a real clarinet. I don't think it's worth it anyways, considering how low sales were for the original wii music.
The only racing game I have ever liked is Mario Kart Wii. My friend got this 5 days ago, and he's already gotten bored with it. I will definitely not be getting this game, but nice review anyways.
I love hard games, and if theres a superguide, the game will probably be hard. I would not use it, I love games like the first SMG. I played it when I was 9 and I had no trouble at all. I hope this one is more challenging. Games aren't fun if they're too easy, but I guess they aren't fun if they are too hard. I like games that are hard because of an enemy or a hard stage. I don't like games that are hard because of a hard mini game or something like that. For example, on super mario 64 I don't like the slide things, but I love all the bosses.
I just found my 4th wii remote [i had lost it earlier in february] so this would tottally be worth it.Im probably gonna wait untill the price drop and my birthday in june. My DSi is getting all the attention this christmas, as is my tennis racquet.
@ODOGG618 If the reviewer thinks it deserves a 10, then they give it a 10. If you yourself don't like the game, it doesn't mean the reviewer isn't credible, it means you don't like the game. Corbie is a great reviewer, and pretty much everyone other than you said it was a good review.
Also, the reviewers could just not review anything and you could end up wasting money on bad games. Be thankful, its a good trait to have in life
I might be interested in the bowling game. I'm not really a fan of puzzle games [other than professor layton] so I won't be getting digidrive. I cant wait for the demos though!
@ballistikboy Actually, If you go to ebay, Electroplankton sells for as low as 65 dollars [lowest out of 3 pages] and as high as 150 dollars. Its a very rare game nowadays.

I don't think these games are repetitive. I've played Hanenbow for over 10 hours throughout the week and I still love it!

YAY! The rest of the electroplankton are here!
Re: Review: UNO (DSiWare)
I can't wait to get this, especially for the wifi. I love UNO, but no one ever wants to play with me. This will be perfect for me!
Re: Nintendo Download: 24-25 November 2009 (Japan)
Why can't the US get 18 games in one update? We deserve it! [I wish]

@ Ezekiel For me, there has been no lag at all. Really good wifi for DSiware.
Re: We Pray - Coming To A Console Near You?
Pretty convincing website I have to say. Apparently, Preordering starts tommorow.

Re: Review: Robot Rescue (DSiWare)
I'm not really interested. Great review! In my opinion, the robots look too much like ugly traffic cones.
Re: Feature: FC Mobile II Console Review
I want a portable nintendo 64 and gamescube, not NES. Still, Cool idea! It's even phatter than the Phat [or the LL/XL]

Re: We Pray - Coming To A Console Near You?
Seriously, I'm a christian, and this is a little insulting. I'm seriously hoping this is a joke. Playing on a wii is not going to church.
Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
@ODOGG618 I don't hate you, I just disagreed with the way you expressed your opinion.
Unlike many people nowadays, It takes something big for me to Hate someone, and video game discussions are not big.
Re: WiiWare Demo Service Now Available Worldwide!
I don't like Pokemon or Pokemon games, but I found the rumble demo fun.
Re: Mighty Flip Champs Europe-Bound This Month!
I myself was never interested in this game-I prefered minis march again. Congrats to Europe, though! Hopefully you'll start getting a bunch of good DSiware games!
Re: Rabbids Go Home Recalled Due to Offensive Language?

Re: Review: Electroplankton Beatnes (DSiWare)
I just turned in some games so I have enough to get a points card now!
...too bad gamestop was out of stock and my parents are away all day so they can't drive me. BTW, I chose store credit and not cash
Re: Review: Electroplankton Rec-Rec (DSiWare)
If anyone thinks that the cartridge is cheaper, they need to learn how money and prices work.
Re: Miyamoto Unsure if Super Mario Galaxy 2 Will Include the Super Guide
To be honest, I just hope that the game is hard. If there is a superguide, then I will never use it, if there isn't a superguide, fine by me. I just don't want it as easy as SMG 1. There were only a few levels that challenged me [mostly the ones where you do things rolling on balls]

Re: Electroplankton
judging by the price of electroplankton on ebay, Im guessing downloading each electroplankton will save you money. probably about 30 to 40 dollars.

Re: Pop Island

Re: Review: My Zoo (WiiWare)
Well, obviously I don't have any eyes, or I would have seen the first picture @_@
Re: Review: My Zoo (WiiWare)
If there is a Panda or Badger in the game, I would buy it. If no Panda or Badger, I will not.
