@Captain_Gonru Totally agree. The only reason Sony do cross-buy is in a desperate attempt to push the kind of sub-par software that would never sell otherwise. Rubbish like Minecraft, Spelunky, Flower, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, a whole bunch of Final Fantasy games — stuff that nobody likes. Shoddy, sub-par software that Nintendo would never feature in the eShop, such as Guacamelee! and Retro City Rampage and Another World. Spot on, Captain.
FUN FACT: the usage "soccer" is found in at least one European country — Ireland, which (like America and Australia) has another sport that it calls "football".
@zkaplan You know, the one criticism I had of Nintendo Life's E3 coverage up to now was the striking absence of any references to the poetry of W. B. Yeats.
Hmm... Looking at my DS library on the shelf behind me, there's an awful lot of games that I imagine would play just as well—if not better—on an iPad or iPhone. Many of them are favourites of mine: Electoplankton, Ouendan, Zookeeper, Trauma Centre...
Also, it seems to me that the iPhone, iPod Touch, and now the iPad, are responsible for getting a lot of new people interested in video games. I keep on meeting people—"non-gamers"—who have become addicted to Plants Vs Zombies or Air Traffic Controller or Field Runners.
(As far as the iPhone OS not being a "viable profit platform"—oh boy... Tell that to the Canabalt lads, who are still making "pretty decent money" on a port of a free online flash game!)
Amazon.co.uk have opened pre-orders on the LE package (Monster Hunter Tri, Classic Controller Pro, Wii Speak, plus Lagiacrus) for £30.99. That's just a quid more than the game + controller bundle, and the same price as the game + controller + Wii Speak bundle! Sweet!

Re: Review: Inchworm Animation (DSiWare)
...Would love to be able to mess around with this or Flipnote Studio. Don't think my DS Lite will be mutating into a DSi anytime soon though.
I don't suppose anyone's heard of a similar program for the Mac platform?
(...Also, I love the name.)
