After playing nearly 4 hours, I have to say that I am heavily disappointed. The map is terrible, all caves and dungeons look the same, the routes to search something are too long and boring, and I you die, you start on your last save point, which can be very nerving.
Sorry, but I would give the game at most a 6/10, rather a 5...
I am really surprised that everybody seems to believe this... Nintendo clearly said that the eShop will be available in May, so how should the VC, a part of the eShop, be there? Maybe this statement was made before the "eShop in May" news...
@ 11# Omega "Is it only the Wiiware version that you think is bad? Or do you think that the downloadable PC version, which already received some good reviews, is bad as well?"
Overall Wii (including WiiWare) game: Super Mario Galaxy 2 Overall DS (including DSiWare) game: Professor Layton and the Unwound Future Overall Game of the Year: Super Mario Galaxy 2
EDIT: Ah, 1$. So I hope the DSi-version price, if there isn't new content, will be 2$. Otherwise I think I wouldn't buy it, just like Flight Control...
@ piguy101: You can play all levels without a limit in the training mode.
@ game: If you beat all 50 stages, you get another mode called "1 second run"! There are additional 10 levels where you have to reach the end in 1 second .

@ Metal Slime & "Unless we can get some volunteers going here : ) Anyone want to do some translating? I need Dutch, Italian and German still."
How much text is it to translate?^^

Re: Review: Liight (WiiWare)
@ Metal Slime: Do you know anything about a European release date?
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th February 2011 (Europe)
Didn't noticed it before, but "Arcade Essentials" looks really cool and interesting:

I think I will buy this instead of Flux =).
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th February 2011 (Europe)
800 points for Flux? Why so much...?
Re: Nintendo Europe Stars Catalogue Gets Fans, Bags, Points
@ Pod: Sticker? The field on the star voucher isn't a sticker. You have to clear the field with a sharp object to reveal the code^^.
Re: Nintendo Europe Stars Catalogue Gets Fans, Bags, Points
@ theblackdragon & James Newton:
As other already said it, 100 points were available since the start of this service .
@ Rondog: Don't forget that you also get 50 stars for every download game, even for the 2 which cost nothing.

Re: Nintendo Europe Stars Catalogue Gets Fans, Bags, Points
@ Nintendolife: Nintendo points are available for years, not just since this update .
Re: BIT.TRIP FLUX Reaches WiiWare Before February is Out
@ jesussaves & "How is this not a new game?"
Read the following news, and I think you will know what I mean :
http://wiiware.nintendolife.com/news/2011/02/behold_this_boppin_bittrip_flux_trailer
Basically it's Bit.Trip Beat with some changes and extras.
Re: BIT.TRIP FLUX Reaches WiiWare Before February is Out
800 points would be too much, because it isn't really a new game.

Re: Multiple Angry Birds Launching Themselves at 3DSWare
@ xPOTATOx: Read the news .
Re: Multiple Angry Birds Launching Themselves at 3DSWare
@ Nintendolife: Do you plan to create an own 3DSWare part on your site, like WiiWare & DSiWare, and if yes, do you aready know when?
Re: Shantae Finally Reaches Europe Next Friday for 1200 Points
Nice, but like Cave Story they should have dropped the price to 1000 points because of the long waiting time...
Re: Review: 1942 (Virtual Console / Virtual Console Arcade)
The game is just too expensive...
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st January 2011 (Europe)
8€ for 1942?! That is, again, really too expensive for a 27 (!!!) year old game...
@ mariofanatic128 & Shantae: The 8 weeks ended on January 15th...
Re: Review: Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time (WiiWare)
@ 11# Omega "Is it only the Wiiware version that you think is bad? Or do you think that the downloadable PC version, which already received some good reviews, is bad as well?"
Yeah, that would be interesting, because these reviews sound much better: http://www.gamerankings.com/pc/605960-doc-clock-the-toasted-sandwich-of-time/articles.html
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th January 2010 (North America)
@ 1# Acerocksyourworld "DSiWare is crap"
So you've already played all these games...?
Re: Review: Surfacer+ (DSiWare)
@ #1 BleachFan888 "The idea for this game isn't exactly a new concept":
There was even a Game Boy title with a similar concept called Qix:

Re: Nintendo Download: 7th January 2011 (Europe)
Why are the last VCA titles so expensive? 500 points would be a much better price for such old games...

Re: Brian Provinciano Addresses Retro City Rampage WiiWare Delay
WTF? Why shouldn't the Wii be capable of doing a widescreen output? And a challenge mode is also missing? Looks like a buy is far away for me...
Re: Review: Dairojo! Samurai Defenders (DSiWare)
@ edhe: WTF? I don't see any sense in your comment, especially because many of them are really good...
Or do you want to ban all sports/rpgs/plattformer/puzzle/racing/... games because there are too many of them? O_o
Re: Review: Frenzic (DSiWare)
Just to compare the two opinions: IGN review score: 8.0 (Impressive)
http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/113/1137412p1.html
Re: Cave Story Finally Burrows to Europe Next Friday
Finally, and fortunately with an excuse^^.
Re: Frenzic Lands Today with a Fresh New Trailer
Yeah.... I still have absolutely no idea what's going on in this game, so in this way the trailer was not very helpful.
Re: 1942
Wow, I thought it looks and sounds better than that...
Re: Interviews: Two Tribes - Frenzic
Very cool that it will costs only 200 points .
Re: Review: Ivy the Kiwi? Mini (DSiWare)
@ sonic_brawler95, #41: "Anyone else notice that this is the exact review for the retail version":
Maybe because it is the same game?
Re: Two Tribes has a Frenzic Release Planned for This Month
Mmh, then how much costs the iPhone version?
EDIT: Ah, 1$. So I hope the DSi-version price, if there isn't new content, will be 2$.
Otherwise I think I wouldn't buy it, just like Flight Control...
Re: Super Meat Boy Will Miss November Launch Window
I have to agree with benanen, why don't they release the half of the game and the rest as free dlc?
Re: Exclusive: Flipper 2 Announced!
For me Flipper was a really, really nice game, so I look forward to this one .
Re: First Cave Story DSiWare Trailer Rocks
Because there is still no release date for Europe for the WiiWare version of Cave Story, I'm definetly not hyped...
Re: Review: Snapdots (DSiWare)
Day 1 buy for me when it is released in Europe.
Re: Go Behind the Scenes with Back to the Future: Episode I
WOHOO!
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd October 2010 (Europe)
Finally Glow Artisan...
Re: Review: Ivy the Kiwi? Mini (DSiWare)
European release date, please .
Re: GO Series: Pinball Attack!
@ jdkipfer: Guess what!^^
Re: Interviews: WayForward - Shantae: Risky's Revenge
No question about the release in Europe?
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th October 2010 (Europe)
@ 7. invmat: "is Europe going to get Sonic the Hedgehog 4 AND Bit. Trip Fate on the same day (15th)?"
Why? Fate can also arrive on the 23rd or even the 30th.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th October 2010 (Europe)
@ Iz2010: In the first paragraph.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th October 2010 (North America)
@ #6 SuperPeach: "1200 points for a DSiWare game!? No way!"
Why not? It seems to be one of the best DSiWare games. If it had been released on a cartridge nobody would complain about even 20 or 30$/€...
Re: Review: GO Series: 10 Second Run (DSiWare)
@ piguy101: You can play all levels without a limit in the training mode.
@ game: If you beat all 50 stages, you get another mode called "1 second run"! There are additional 10 levels where you have to reach the end in 1 second .
I would give the game an 8/10.
Re: Review: GO Series: 10 Second Run (DSiWare)
@ GammaGames (#11): Why only 500 seconds? Didn't you read the review and some of the comments? O_o
Re: First Fluidity Video and Screenshots Released
Looks great!
Reminds me of PixelJunk (Style) & LocoRoco (Gameplay)^^.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd September (Europe)
I am REALLY interested in the '10 Second Run' game, also because of this preview:
