To give you an idea how much, it was over 4000 wii points worth.
Edit: Dang I thought i hit the edit button. Anyway, there are different costumes for the main character, including ones based off other final fantasy games [including sherlotta from Echoes of time, and 2 more whose name I can't remeber], more NP items that essentially do nothing but make the game slightly easier [and it's getting pretty hard right now without any of it], more versions of monsters to summon [aka items that should have bene unlockables have been ripped out and you have to buy them instead] and finally a further 2 story scenarios are included for 500 wii points each.

And frankly, I've always preferred the Crystal Chronicles games to regular Final Fantasy. The graphics of the original were probably the best the 'Cube ever saw, and they were pretty damn impressive.

The general unfamiliarity of WiiWare games and the lack of demos/trials leads me to believe WiiWare has, to this point, been a pretty big failure.
One thing Microsoft definately got right this generation was implementing a mandatory trial option for every XBLA/XNA game. Sony and Nintendo really need to implement the same thing.

Some games have done really well, like World of Goo, where 60% of the revenue for that game came from WiiWare (other 40% from Steam / PC). Defend Your Castle, My Life As A King, Mega Man 9 have also done well. Others haven't done so well.

I'm just stating my opinion and offering details as to how I formed my opinion that WiiWare has been a bust.
Wii's install base demographics + majority of WiiWare is 3rd party shovelware + Little to NO marketing, lack of demos/trials = My opinion that, thus far, WiiWare has been an absolute bust.

Interestingly enough, vgchartz had some numbers up last week: [news.vgchartz.com]
Standard disclaimer: it's vg chartz and should be taken with a grain or three of salt. And I have no idea where they got the numbers. But they don't look ridiculous.

Have you even PLAYED any of the Art Style games? Obviously not, because if you had, you'd want a DSi.
The Art Style games are great, and worth the upgrade...Doctor Mario Express isn't half bad either. :3

The Art Style games
Is that some sort of "Graphics over Gameplay" dealie?
