Considering the amount of support Wii Speak gets, I don't see any reason for excitement. If Nintendo could get it right, it could be huge.. but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
@Stuffgamer1 (or anyone else looking to buy points)
Do a search on eBay for the seller zoeyduke79. This person sells 1200 (6 codes each worth 200) Nintendo Points for $8.75. I've bought from this person a couple of times, and it's nice because you can distribute the points between the Wii and DSi. It's a solid deal.
I'll try to remember this is going on as I've been playing a ton of Castlevania myself since the ReBirth announcement.
Played Order of Ecclesia again, working on Harmony of Dissonance for the first time, and next I'll play either Circle of the Moon or Belmont's Revenge (both of which I have never played).
I laughed at the picture caption. Although I think the Go is pretty worthless, I don't see this as trash talk necessarily. It's a valid question, and one that I hope all consumers really thought/think hard about if they considered the Go.
For people who enjoy a challenge, get Final Fantasy - the difficulty far exceeds that of the GBA version (which was ridiculously dumbed down), and is a far better test of mettle.
"Up to four teams will be able to battle it out in the same arena using the Wireless function. Players will also be able to enjoy battles with anyone across the world using the Wi-Fi option, and the game’s rating points system means gamers of all skill levels will be able to enjoy a competitive and challenging game."
You're spot on in that they're just making it easier to put on other systems. It's a bit of a cop-out since the M+ could have been beneficial to the game (and to the gamers), but from a business standpoint, it makes sense.

Re: Review: LEGO Rock Band (DS)
The fact that it can be played on the DSi is a pretty big deal. I may consider picking this up.
Re: Competitions: Do you feel lucky, punk?
Congrats everyone - especially warioswoods! Huge prize!
Re: Nintendo Download: Fights, Shooters, Sparkles, Vikings, Dragons, Carnivals, Escapes and Card Games (US)
So many releases... but none for me. Nice to see a week with that many releases though.

/facepalm Domo
Re: DSi LL Coming To Europe First Quarter 2010
What a big wide beast that thing turned out to be. Very ridiculous.
Re: Review: Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
8/10 is a very fair score. ZAMN's music is so great...
Re: Competitions: Win a DSi and Nostalgia!
Pretty epic contest here...
Re: Competitions: Halloween with The Three Musketeers: One for All!
I'm definitely digging all these contests... keep it up!
Re: Excitebike: World Rally Coming To WiiWare
@Xkhaoz - Excitebike 64 doesn't get enough love. It was a great game!
Definitely interested in this... hope it's not too pricey.
Re: Japan to Receive Widescreen DSi
Yawn. I would be really surprised to see this released outside of Japan.
Seems kind of ridiculous to be honest.
Re: Nintendo Download: Zombies, Ghosts, Monkeys, Axes, Royal Bluffs and Even More Sudoku (US)
Six games this week - that's pretty huge. It'd be great to see that many every week.
ZAMN is a great SNES game, I'm glad it's finally out. A lot of fun with two players too.
Re: More Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth Screenshots
Loving the SNES style... I hope it's tough!
Re: Nintendo Download: 27-28 October 2009 (Japan)
Do want Castlevania!
Re: Competitions: Spore Hero (Wii) Giveaway!
The NA love is much appreciated NL!
Re: DSi Speak Channel On the Way?

Re: Solitary Castlevania Rebirth Screenshot Rises From Its Grave
@Bass X0 "Just smaller."
And likely more difficult!
Re: Solitary Castlevania Rebirth Screenshot Rises From Its Grave
Do want!
Here's a nice comparison of that screen shot from GB Adventure and ReBirth.

I think it's obvious that ReBirth is going to be more than just a standard remake.
Re: Black Wii Homes in on Europe
It looks great in black... about 2-3 years late in my opinion, but it still looks good.

Re: Nintendo Download: Winds, Warriors, Dinosaurs and Domo-kun (US)
Nothing for me this week.
Hopefully they'll do the same mass release with Electroplankton.
Re: IGA Involved With Castlevania: Rebirth; Next Project Top Secret
I'm hoping it will be the 1999 battle with Julius on the DS.
Re: IGA Involved With Castlevania: Rebirth; Next Project Top Secret
@JamieO - same here!
Re: Top 20 DSiWare Games in USA (15th Oct)
Go DQW!
Re: Pink DS Lite Consoles Bite the Dust
The Pink DS Lite has been long gone from the US.. it's been replaced with the Metallic Rose for roughly two years.
I'm glad I was able to get one for my wife before they were discontinued, as she doesn't like the Metallic Rose color at all.

Sounds interesting!
Re: First Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth Screens Appear
Do want!
Re: Reggie Trash-Talks the PSPgo

Re: Nintendo Download: LostWinds, Happy Holidays, Final Fight, Wonder Boy and Dragon Quest (EU)
Looks like a good day for Europe!

For people who enjoy a challenge, get Final Fantasy - the difficulty far exceeds that of the GBA version (which was ridiculously dumbed down), and is a far better test of mettle.
Re: Fight in the Street on Virtual Console Later This Month
This game will drive you insane!
Re: Top 20 DSiWare Games in USA (1st Oct)
Wow, what is making people buy MySims Camera?
Here's hoping that DQW makes some big waves on the Top 20!
Re: Nintendo Download: Star Wars, Art Style and Escape Game (EU)
Sorry EU didn't get DQW...
Re: Interviews: Rage of the Gladiator - Ghostfire Games
Those are some great inspirations to use (FF, Diablo, Punch Out). This game keeps sounding better and better.
I enjoyed looking at the Skill Trees - definitely potential for some replayability there.
Re: Ubisoft: The DS Salad Days Are Over
If Ubisoft would quit pumping out crap, they'd have better luck.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest Wars (DSiWare)
It was an 8! I admit Corbie, I was fooled.
A thorough and well written review for a great game.
Re: Nintendo Download: Art, Beasts, Cars, Paddles and Wars (US)
Arkanoid and DQW for me this week.
Re: Monsters of Dragon Quest Wars
Looking forward to this. 500 points + WiFi battles = download.

Re: Zombies Ate My Neighbors Heading to Virtual Console for Real This Time?
Instant download - ZAMN is one of the best games from the SNES-era.
Re: Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Love this game! Been patiently waiting for the VC release...
Re: Rage of the Gladiator to Support Wii MotionPlus
Nicely done... Motion Plus does make it much more noticeable, especially since it will be the first for WiiWare! I look forward to hearing more.
Re: Brand New Dragon Quest Wars Screenshots
Dragon Quest, 500 points, Wifi Battles = Instabuy.
Re: Capcom Cordially Invites You To Decide The Next Versus Title
Hmm... Capcom vs. Konami? Or maybe Square-Enix...
Re: PopCap Sets Sights On DSiWare, DS
Peggle "Express" would be win.
Re: Square Enix Prez Stares Into Crystal Ball; Sees New Wii in 2011
FFXIII will be a launch title.
Re: WiiWare & DSiWare London Event - DSiWare Coverage
Reflection sounds very interesting... definitely on my radar now. Bomberman Blitz sounds like a must-buy.
Re: Review: Soul Blazer (Super Nintendo)
Brilliant game - totally agree with the score. This makes me want to play it all over again!
Re: No More Heroes 2 Gets A Control Shake-Up
You're spot on in that they're just making it easier to put on other systems. It's a bit of a cop-out since the M+ could have been beneficial to the game (and to the gamers), but from a business standpoint, it makes sense.
Re: First Bomberman Blitz Screenshots Released
The online multiplayer is a huge selling point. This will be a day one purchase.
Re: Top 20 DSiWare Games in USA (17th Sept)
Agreed.. continued sadness for no MFC (or Pictobits).
Re: Top 20 WiiWare Games in USA (16th Sept)
Wow... go Contra ReBirth!
