    Dynasty Warriors 5 Special, for the PS2?!

    Shining Force Feather for the DS?

    Tatsunoko vs Capcom banner, sweet.

    Hm, they're making those "Escape a room" flash puzzles for the PSP?


    Sorry, got distracted by the ads on the Famitsu page.


    Oh yeah, DSi-ware games. Ehhh...


    Let me get back to you on that, ok?

    @tokugawa:

    Actually, it pretty much does. DSi isn't going to have separate cart games, at least of any real value or quality. Splitting that market would be a tremendous error on nintendo's part.

    Sounds interesting but I'd imagine DsiWare somewhat being more impressive than DS software.

    Always thought that the idea of online gaming was to try out things you wouldnt risk in the regular marketplace.


    Still you get a DSi Tim, be sure to let us know how you get on!


    Paper Airplanes indeed lol

    If they release Earthbound or a mother 1-3 compilation I will be very ticked off at Nintendo.


    I want to play them so much, but not enough to buy a completely new system.

    you wouldn't have to. DSi is still just a DS. Only difference is that it can play downloadable mini games like these.

    All these points...why cant anyone just use real money!? Thats 1 of the few things Sony has done right so far.


    Oh wait I know the answer! People are more willing to spend points since its harder to relate to a real value. Damn you business men damn you!

    @parad0x360: With points, you have to buy a set amount. If you plan to only use 400 points, but have to buy a 500 point card, you have to spend the little bit extra on points you won't use (at first, anyway)

    I somehow feel that these are games slapped together in a few minutes, if not ports of other games with tons of extras stripped out.

    Wow. And I thought I couldn't be less interested in the DSi. That's pretty impressive, actually.


    Thanks, Nintendo, for carving away my enjoyment in your products a little more.

    @litrock: unfortunately , I agree with you. I think the DSi is a pointless money grab for people that like new shiny things and are pleased at buying DLC for everything.


    Unless this does something cool that can't be done on a DS then I see no point in any one buying this.

    @Netnavi: The DSi is also a hardware upgrade with a twice as fast processor and four times the RAM.


    Nintendo also provides means to make either DSi-specific software (that runs exclusively on DSi) or "DSi-compatible software" which runs on both DSi and DS, but runs with higher quality/more features on the DSi.


    In fact the DSi is probably - in terms of power at least - a higher step up from the DS, relatively speaking, than the Wii was to the GameCube.

    @tokugawa:

    And yet, it's still just a DS. We'll see if they actually do anything with it they wouldn't with the other DS models.

    So long as there aren't GOBS of DSi's out there, that won't be happening anytime soon, and even if they start utilizing these features to try and shoehorn the dsi into becoming the sequel system, developers probably won't invest much effort. Not with current sales trends on the DS.

    @spiderweb1986: Bird and Beans sounds a lot like the Pyoro minigame you unlocked in the first Wario Ware as well.


    I seriously LOVED Pyoro, the cute little bird, the way the music and BG built up as you scored more points. It was really amazing for such a simple game...

    @Zho: Yeah, and by the way, it was on all of the Wario Ware games, as far as I know. A touchscreen version (that sounds like this) was unlockable in Wario Ware Touched.


    And yeah, I loved Pyoro, even though I wasn't great at it.

    In Europe the Points has been renamed to Nintendo Points.

    There are no Wii or DSi Points.

    Strange that in Japan it is still 2 different things.
