Why does this remind me of Superman 64?

I spent the 200 points left over from MFC on this. It's not that bad. Would have been must-get for free. Can't complain though, the conversion is cool. The sounds it makes set it apart from other calculators, and it will be useful for checking my finances from my DSi.

I went with this over the clock, because it's actually useful to me. I do hear the clock has some cool run-n-grab-coin game included though.

Nice impressions Adam, I agree 100%.

@totallyNECTAR

I agree, people should take a full review before judging. My first impressions were just that. There might be ways to enjoy the game and get your money's worth. I just find that hard to see. We'll see what the NL full review does for the game. IMO there's plenty of better games to be had on the console for your 8 bucks. The art style and quirkiness set the game apart, but the gameplay and music do nothing to keep it there.

Those that do look into my Monkey King recommendation, don't pay over five bucks for it. It's that game's sweet spot, like it probably would have been for this one. I really like it's art though, and the box was "megaman'd" compared to the foreign version.

Eduardo is extremely repetative, bleh game. It's so easy I just blazed through 7 levels in 30 minutes and I don't even know if I died. The art work is cool, but overall the game feels uninspired.

I came across a single music track, which was bland. The black and white levels look cool. There's no scoring system, and it is an extreme button masher. You can't hold the button to repeatedly shoot. Coming across weapon upgrades there are only a few. An automatic shoot, a 3 way shoot, a toaster-fart bomb, and dropping bomb toast.

There's one level that is a veritical scroller, and another level that was flying. So there was a small change of pace. However angular shooting with the d-pad doesn't work too well, so I mostly found myself shooting up/down/left/right. I tried the classic controller, and it doesn't have analog stick support.

When enemies get close to you, the toaster automatically hits them, or you can throw them at other enemies or just to finish them off. There is an easy (lol), normal, hard and crazy-hard setting. I was playing on the hard. You can select how many lives you want up to infinate. Maybe selecting how many lives would make it even harder, but it would still feel extremely repetitive.

Might be worth it for 500 points, but definitely over priced for what you get. So far, it would only earn a 5/10 from me.

Go to gamestop, pick up The Monkey King for $5 and you will have a decent co-op shooter that is a little more fun and save a few bucks.

Wow this download is taking forever today. 8 minute download time. Wonder how popular the servers are this morning.

OK I'll be the Eduardo guinea pig. I'll let you know my first thoughts in 1.5 hours.

Guess I'll download the Starfy movie theatre commercial to the screen in my work's area. Awesome, there's two different ones.

Nice review, I can't believe I never heard of the DS version of this game until recently. One of the best titles on the DS. Once you get used to dying randomly that is.

Seconding Do Re Mi Fantasy. Best import VC game available. I just MST3K'd the story line.

They misspelled my name, and I don't live in Canada. What a bunch of jerks. Get it right next time.

@Corbie which one was your personal favorite?

@Corbs 4th place wins your shirt?

I just enjoyed seeing all the starfy avatars running around the place today. Great job everyone.

Congrats RM! So us runner-ups get your starfy schwag, right?

Shocked The Hoff took 4th lol.

I'm with you, slapshot82 they're by far my favorite publisher. Except this year. They keep releasing to many awesome games! I'm going to end up in the poor house. I'm even tempted to finally get a PSP just to play Class of Heroes.

I preordered it for the sweet art book, but haven't got it yet. Amazon super saver shipping is extremely slow, I should get it on Saturday. I went the slow route because I have way to many other games to be playing right now anyway, and would have picked this up later if it wasn't for that art book

Thanks anthonyb. Yours is nice too

Holy crap hopefully I'm not too late. Just got back from camping. Awesome contest.

Rumor is the high score is held by a penguin.

Yeah Nintendo Power called it the best FPS on the Wii. Obviously it's horrible! That, and NP hates everything but Pokemon. I suspect we'll see a few 9 at least. The 6.5 review was fake.

It's a pretty good game. The fights are a little different, the dialog can be hilarious and there's plenty of bouncing umm, features?

Can't wait for my shipment of this one to arrive. Amazon is being extremely slow. For us that pre-ordered it we get a schwanky art book that looks awesome.

Be prepared for a large learning curve, followed by one of the most hardcore games in a while.

Not sure if your metacritic is working, it's up there. Here

Can't wait for this one.

Is this Nintendo support? I accidentally your Vitality Sensor. Please help.

The mighty flip champs girl has boobies.

Bwahaha my little DSi buddies are filling the block with bubbles right now! Go you little fellas. Go. ^{wipes tear}

@Syr: Nintendo releases their press statements around 8AM-10AM EST. http://press.nintendo.com is where they can be found.

Yay! Two game download day for me.

OMG NO SMASH BROS MARIO PARTY KART 3000! ANGRY! THIS UPDATE SUX!!1!1

There. That's out of the way.

Sounds so fun, looks so bad. They really need to work on level design. These seem so uninspired.

I really need to get around to playing the first game. Sitting on my shelf in the new 2 pack, and all neglected. Soon NMH. Soon. Blame some publishers for releasing to many awesome games lately. ^{coughatluscough}

I still have my Arkanoid NES with paddle, and I imported the GBA-port paddle for my DS version. Always glad for another Arkanoid. Bring it on!

Admit it, you're waiting for the Starfy clock.

Nice review, though.

Awesome!

Oh just kidding anyway. I'll pick it up eventually, when I run out of other games to play. Or you can send it to me for Christmas (my birthday is also next month)!

I'm not getting it just to spite Corbie. He will need to buy two now!

That's nice. Release DuckTales on the VC while you're at it, Cappy.

I put it on my Intend To Buy Club Nintendo list, but not sure if I will follow through quickly enough. Looks fun though, and I'll most likely get it eventually. Just not sure if it will be fast enough to score me some extra coins

I hear ya WeeGee. I'm not a huge puzzle fan, unless it's a puzzle-platformer. However this one is great. The old school feel alone makes it worth having. The coins, and buying options are a great bonus too. Everyone I've showed it to has loved it. I may have sold a DSi for Nintendo just so they can get their own copy

Guess I'll pass. Probably going to order Chessmaster.

I wanted to get some more cases for my GBA games, there's a specific 3-holding type I really like and even that is getting expensive. I still play mine, and love the NES classic series games.

I'm with Corbie. Give me animales!

PictoBits is pretty fun, and a welcome DSi title. I'm now officially out of the free 1000 DSi points (Dr. Mario/PictoBits). I'm going to download the Chess in the next day. Since I work nights it's a little something to do. IGN says it's barebones, and lack of online is one of their gripes. I don't really mind. For 500 points it doesn't look bad.

The first Art Style game didn't appeal to me, I'm not a huge puzzle fan. Only like a few, like Tetris, Soduku, Dr. Mario, Tetravex. I do love puzzle platformers though. I'm going to download today's Art Style, it looks like an interesting twist on the Tetris types, and seems to make good use of the DS touch screen. Going to pick up the Chess game in the next few days. Hopefully NintendoLife gets up a review of that one quickly.

@KnucklesSonic8: I was being a smart alec. I don't want it anyway. Not a shabby release day.

No Swords & Soldiers?!?!?! STUPID NINTENDO I AM WRITING AN ANGRY LETTER! Yarrrrrr!!!!!

Probably getting the chess game and picopict. I'll get MM later.

Looks interesting. Will radar this one. Never played the original though.

Pass. Where's my DSi(Wii)Ware dungeon crawler or space trader.

We need a review of this game. At 19.99 new it looks interesting.

Not my type of game. I'm not big into racing games, and just prefer normal ones when I do play them. I don't need to do flips, or play poker etc. If other people like it then that's good. I love plenty of games that others don't get.
