Looks very good... I wonder if it'll have wifi play?

That honestly could be a deal-breaker for me if it doesn't. But again, it does look like a lot of fun.l

Looks great of course. I still haven't beaten the first one though!

@Spoony Bard - excellent screen name.

Everyone just seems to be jumping to conclusions a little quickly.

I honestly have no idea what the initial download contains, but I have a hard time believing that it won't be worth $8, and unless each additional story is ridiculously short, I again have a hard time believing that each one wouldn't be worth $3.

Like most of you though, I'll be looking forward to the review, but will likely be giving the After Years a download.

If $32 is too much, then don't buy it - or just don't buy the chapters you don't want to play. The DLC isn't required, nor does it appear that you have to purchase it in any particular order.

Staggered releases on the add-on content. 300 points each isn't all that bad, especially considering they are separate stories. I may decide to download it afterall.

Mighty Flip Champs is a definite.

After Years will depend on how the other episodes will be priced.

I will definitely download this, but I'm hesitant because I want to have points handy for MFC when it gets released. Wish we knew how much it was going to be!

It's hard not to impulsively download Pictobits though.. I'm toughing through it though.

If they remake a Pokemon game, and they make it for the DS/i, the smartest thing they can do (imo) is to make it NOT look like a GBA game.

Take a page from the Final Fantasy remake notebook, and make it something pretty.

DSiWare was as expected. Those were the last two games not yet released and shown in the DSiWare video on the official page.

I wish all games were like this. I hate having leftover points... like the 100 points that has been on my Wii for.. a long time.

@professorlayton - they made it pretty clear on the press release and on the detail page in the shop channel that there's no online/multiplayer.

@StarDust - I know, that's why I said "upcoming DSi-only titles" - those will be region locked.

They are good products though. I have a clear black one on my Lite, and the clear blue on my DSi.

With as many Wiis that are out there, those are not unreasonable goals.

I can live with two new DSiWare games a week.. nice to see Dr. Mario.

800 Points for an inferior version of Crystal Defenders is still too much. As much as I love Final Fantasy and SE, I'll pass.

@warioswoods - I agree.

I didn't purchase GTA because it's just not the type of game I'm interested in. I was impressed by the review scores it's been receiving, and honestly expected it to have sold a little better. Two of my buddies have it, and they were enjoying it last I heard.

One DSiWare for Europe, after none last week? Ouch.

@tkubas1 - if you enjoy Tetris, then definitely. This game probably has the best online multiplay on WiiWare - I haven't ever had a problem finding a random person to play against. There's plenty of modes to try out too.

Had a pretty strong feeling that this game would be a fail.

Agreed Damo... this is a definite download for me. Hopefully since this is on the Nintendo Channel, it'll be coming very soon.

If you play this alone, you won't enjoy it nearly as much. It gets a bit redundant, and sometimes frustrating playing with the computer controlled mercenaries.

It's a good game, though the story is definitely not as good as Ring of Fates'.

The number of DSiWare titles is what I expected, though I had hoped for Dr. Mario Express or another ArtStyle. Mixed Messages is no big thrill if it's simply a local multiplayer game, and the Master of Illusion stuff isn't my bag. At least some games were released instead of none.

As for Majora's Mask being the 300th VC title - that seems like a pretty solid bet.

Glad to see it received a good score - I loved the original Bubble Bobble.. I will most likely download this at some point once it is released in North America.

I haven't completed this yet (working on it now), but I definitely agree - this is an excellent game.

Bubble Bobble Plus... mmm... 800 points is very reasonable too.

My wife loved the DS version... I really hope this sees a release in North America.

This is going to be a DS game, not DSiWare.

Dr. Mario is a definite download, Paper Airplane Chase most likely as well since it's only 200 points. Clubhouse Games Express: Card Classics is a possibility too, assuming it's 200 points also.

Mighty Flip Champs and PICOPICT? Nice!

@Blaze - Agreed, I too am waiting for the games that take advantage of the faster processor and increased RAM.

@SuperSonic1990 - don't forget about Japan's Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: EoT DSi!

Downloaded this a little while ago... very intriguing. The sound effects are somewhat reminiscent of Electroplankton.. that and it's a water game. Heh.

Well worth the 500 points though. Now.. what to do with the other 500...

@Bahamut ZERO - I agree that Crystal Defenders is WAY overpriced (though I don't think My Life as a King was), especially considering that it's an inferior version to the other consoles.

As big of a Final Fantasy/Square Enix fan as I am, I will not be getting these.

The main reason I'd rather buy Brain Age express instead of the whole game would be no cartridge swapping.

I'm still considering getting this, and the reviews I've read are definitely giving me nudging me in that direction.

No Majora's Mask is a bit of a bummer... but I wouldn't have had time to play it anyway. Time for some more DSi!

@Bahamut and Mopsical - It's AQUIA in North America, AQUITE in Europe, and AQUARIO in Japan I believe.

I'm sold... this game is seeing great reviews everywhere!

@Popyman - I've read that he manipulates gravity. I've been waiting for this game for a long time! Hopefully it'll see a release before the end of the year.

@WarioFan63 - the last "Wii-kly Update" press release said that starting April 6 the DSi Shop games would be added to the mix, "with new titles added every week". So I'm sure we can expect the DSiWare updates to occur on Mondays.

The games probably won't be exactly the same as EU/AU though, just like the VC/WiiWare.

@WarioFan63 - I'd buy it...!

I also wouldn't mind the mini-games from Mario 64 DS - that'd be nice to have as well.

Quite a day for Europe... I wonder if NA will get Majora's Mask as well (not that I have any money for it anyway.. the DSi, Echoes of Time, and Valkyrie Profile have depleted my resources..)

Maybe they just wanted to give it a different name in every territory?

"We get the exclusive North American Aquia version!" Woot!

I'm wondering if they'll put out another game or two on Monday, April 6 as well.

@Chicken Brutus - it does say Aquia on the NoA press release though.

WarioWare is a definite download, as of course is the internet browser. The Art Style game also looks pretty nifty, but I'm not sure about a day one download.

If Brain Age Math is really 800 points, I can't imagine it selling too well.

Great interview! I'll definitely be downloading this when it comes out.

"I’d love to do a high res 2D Metroid spinoff" <-- Oh yes, please!

Man, I loved Secret of Evermore. I really hope it gets released on the VC sooner than later.

"I had developed a feeling like the game had turned out poorly, and I didn't want to have to look at it."

That must have been a crappy feeling... SoE was awesome!

Great interview!

Thumbs up on the change!

Majora's Mask... Oh, please release here soon!

@SmaMan - no, Pete ought to be waiting outside your house. The hub says that there's a possibility of variation in the dates, and the Pikmin hat is available until April 1.

I hope he shows up for you soon.

I will definitely be getting My Life as a Darklord on day one.
