I had Mario Paint for my Super NES way back when. I spent hours on that thing drawing silly pictures, and making quirky animations. This would be fun for me.
Thanks for the review. I downloaded this yesterday and it's not too bad. I like playing Chinese Checkers so this looked interesting to me. One thing I hadn't considered though is how small the board would be! No complaints about it, but it is quite small for my poor eyes. (Another reason to wish for a DSi XL.)
I'm with you Yanagi. I'm not interested in the 3DS either. I already have a DSi, but wouldn't mind a DSi XL in some other colour than what's on offer now. This is news I've been waiting for.
I would have loved this when I was a kid. I was always messing about on a piano, keyboards, and other little toys that played music. For only 200 points I think I'll pick this one up just to have a play.
Darn. I was hoping it would be a lot better game. I really miss playing Arkanoid, and that so-called Arkanoid-type game that came out for WiiWare was just awful. Oh well.
The only reason I joined Facebook last autumn is so I could see how the features work uploading DSi photos. I'm quite into it now, so this application looks like it will be fun. And for only 200, I'll be getting it. Plus it gives me an excuse to take my DSi along with me on trips
I always wondered why no one came up with the idea before. I think it would be good for gyms where they already have exercise bikes, but I wouldn't want one in my living room taking up so much space. Those bikes always end up in bedrooms acting as a clothes rack.
I'm old enough to remember when Dragon's Lair first came out in the arcades. People were gathered all around and even outside arcade doorway to see the amazing graphics of a what looked like a cartoon you could control. Considering this was in the pixel days of Pacman and Space Invaders games, DL was like nothing we had ever seen before. It cost $1 (or more?) to play when other games only cost .25 cents .. way more than I could afford on my allowance. Plus I was too shy to play with all the people standing around watching it on the big TV hung above the game. So I'd love to give the game a try, just to see what I missed.
I believe up to 4 people can be registered on this. You said a family of 3 would have to buy another copy of the game, but all they really need is to buy another activity meter.
I remember well how that puppy went through the batteries until I got a rechargable battery pack that was nearly the size of the Gameboy. But I took it with me everywhere. Such fun times.

Oooooh!!! That looks cool. Sign me up.
Re: Down Under's DSi XL Range Gets Colourful Next Month
oooh Good! I hope more colours come to the UK soon. I'm hoping for one for Christmas, and didn't really like the colours available.
Re: Doctor Who to Land the TARDIS on Wii & DS
Looks like a good one to flag as a Christmas pressie.

Re: Art Academy Paints a Pretty Picture Inside UK Top Five
Woot! Art Academy (for DSiWare) is by far my favourite 'game' available. I hope this does really well so more tutorials and lessons.
Here's my artwork created with Art Academy

ewwww. This sounds creepy :b
Re: Lovefilm Streaming Heading to Wii
The majority of films I've seen on the streaming site seem to be the worst films out there. Nice idea, but...

Re: Pocket Pack: Strategy Games
also waiting....
Re: 3DS Could Turn Pages as Well as Heads
I'd certainly use it as an e-books. 100 Classic Books works fine on my DSi, and even with my poor vision, I have no trouble reading on it.
Re: E3 2010: Nintendogs and Cats for 3DS
Hey, I think I see Mii in that crowd!
Re: Get Your DSi XL in Sultry Midnight Blue, North America
I'm with you Yanagi. I'm not interested in the 3DS either. I already have a DSi, but wouldn't mind a DSi XL in some other colour than what's on offer now. This is news I've been waiting for.
Re: Hey WiiWare, Enjoy Your Massage
What? You've gotta be kidding .... right?
Re: Review: Just Sing! National Anthems (DSiWare)
But will anyone want to buy it?
Re: Music On: Electronic Keyboard Puts a Keyboard in Your DSiWare
I would have loved this when I was a kid. I was always messing about on a piano, keyboards, and other little toys that played music. For only 200 points I think I'll pick this one up just to have a play.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st May 2010 (Europe)
Well, I was going to purchase more DSiWare points today .. but after seeing this line up, I'll pass.
Re: Review: Bounce & Break (DSiWare)
Darn. I was hoping it would be a lot better game. I really miss playing Arkanoid, and that so-called Arkanoid-type game that came out for WiiWare was just awful.
Oh well.
Re: Review: Kung Fu Funk (WiiWare)
Oh my goodness! A 1? ouch!
Re: The Sims 3 Coming to Wii, DS with Exclusive Features
I've never played Sims, but I love Animal Crossing for the Wii. It sounds a bit like it. I wonder if this would be a good game for me?
Re: New Video Shows the Building Blocks of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4
{woot!} It's already pre-ordered baby! Can't wait. The LEGO games are my favourite.

Re: Fishie Fishie Is Getting Ready to Splash Out on WiiWare
Please tell me that hideous music isn't part of the game? :-b
Re: Review: Flashlight (DSiWare)
I'm surprised you gave it ANY stars.

The 30th anniversary of Space Invaders?!! Uggg!! Thanks for making me feel old
Re: Review: Copter Crisis (WiiWare)
It sounded good when I first heard about ... but as soon as I watched the video I lost hope. This review pretty much said what I thought it would.
Re: We Pray - Coming To A Console Near You?
What in the hell was that!? LOL
Re: Sudoku
When I saw this game available this morning I had to laugh. I just downloaded the Sudoku 150 game 3 days ago. Figures.
Re: UNO
I'd like to play just so I could use WiiSpeak with more of my friends.
Re: Snag A Spooky Scribblenauts Level At The London Dungeon On Halloween
For goodness sake. I've got about 4 hours to get all the way to London. Forget it. It is a silly idea anyway.
Re: Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ
The title alone made me laugh this morning when I checked the new games available. I can't wait to read the review.

Re: Nintendogs Coming As DLC To Animal Crossing
As long as they stay off the bed and sofa......
Re: A Little Bit of... Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training Sudoku
Why do we really need a 3rd Sudoku for the DSiWare?? sigh
Re: Max & the Magic Marker Trailer and Screenshots
This looks like another great one. I wish games like these would hurry up and come out already. They're just teasing us.
Re: New Scribblenauts Screenshots
Teasers!!! I want it now!!
Re: Triangle Studios Announces Heron: Steam Machine for WiiWare
Oooh! Looks like fun!
Re: Sudoku 50! For Beginners
I'd rather go out and buy a book of sudoku puzzles.
Re: UK Retro Computer Museum Open Day
Oh my goodness! Swannington is just 5 minutes from me. I didn't realise this had opened. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for posting this article.
Re: Alien Havoc Coming to DSiWare
I'm liking the 80's-look to it as well. It looks like a game of my childhood. Could be fun
Re: Review: Personal Trainer: Walking (DS)
I believe up to 4 people can be registered on this. You said a family of 3 would have to buy another copy of the game, but all they really need is to buy another activity meter.
Re: First Look: Max & the Magic Marker
Sign me up! Looks pretty cool to me.
Re: Toki Tori Merchandise Coming Soon
It is a fun game, and the chick is so cute. I wish it was on the icon for the WiiWare game instead of the words Toki Tori
Re: Review: Dr. Mario Express (DSiWare)
I've always been a fan of Dr Mario - couldn't wait for it to come out on the Wii. So I'll probably get this when it's available in the UK.
Re: Original Gameboy turns 20 years old!
I remember well how that puppy went through the batteries until I got a rechargable battery pack that was nearly the size of the Gameboy. But I took it with me everywhere. Such fun times.
