I know I'm LTTP but Boxlife is absolutely the best ArtStyle game to date (regarding NA releases). Everytime I say I'm just going to do a quick run it seems like an hour passes by. God I love skip.

The US VC version has no slowdown. Must be a PAL issue.
Also, IGN have just posted a video of Galaga 88 arcade on their Wii site. Looks like it might be monday's VC game.

GAF steered me right. OuterWorldVoice, if you're still lurking and looking for DSiWare, the ArtStyle games are awesome. Aquia is the least awesome, but I still like it. Flip Champs started to hurt my brain a lot sooner than I expected it to. I have a very puzzle filled trip right now.

I love Boxlife a lot, but oddly enough, I've been playing more pictobits since it came out than it, trying to finish up the dark stages. I guess I just want to get that off the plate first.
Both are great.

I gotta say, DSiWare's really improving. Nintendo of America is the only crux though, in that they're releasing games so much slower, and they're ignoring all the good ones. Three Art Styles, Sudoku, Asphalt, etc. And I don't think NoE or AU have ever had "clock/calc only weeks".
Who (and how many) do I have to bludgeon to death before someone (or Hudson) brings out Hudson's Puzzle Series games to DSiware, since that seems like the only way the games will end up on the english speaking side of the Pacific and w/o paying a premium
?
discounting the usual NOA retardedness obviously

just got a dsi, is brain age express worth getting if you already have both brain age games?
and why does the wifi light stay lit?! also do dsi multiplayer games need another dsi or can it be a ds. thanks.

If you already have both? Nah, unless you like having it for extra training on the go. And remember it's just math.big black woman said:
It does have some picture and mic options though.
The wifi light is always on, but wifi is only on when it's blinking.
MP DSiWare games can play on a DS.

Why do people make stuff up to dig into NOA? The US is not getting DSiWare slower, in fact right now it's 2 ahead despite launching 2 days after Europe (unless Europe gets 2 games this week by week US will be ahead). Europe also doesn't have Flip Champs or MvsDK. Realistically they are about even.

Europe has 5 to our 3 (incidentally, they're only missing Hacolife, which we just got). We're definitely behind.
I'm just endlessly mystified by the way the Art Style games have come out. All six were out in Japan before the US or EU got the DSi, and it's not like they need much translation work. The games are coming out slowly and randomly in both territories, in different orders as well. And to top it off, the games get renamed for no apparent reason (Aquia and Decode have different names in each of the three territories).
There's nothing bad about the way things are going, other than the slow releases, but it just looks disorganized and batshit crazy. But I guess that's nothing new.

That was like a day apart. He obviously had more than enough time to get back to the interwebz.
I still wish Virtual Console would get back to doing multiple game weeks. Not to mention that Rondo of Blood needs to get here sooner than later, for the sake of a well-emulated version of one of the best games ever.

That's the great thing about this game is that all of a sudden the patterns just start clicking and you can start chopping blocks like a lunatic. I love it.zigg said:
I second this. I would be all over their color logic picross clone in a heartbeat - especially because everywhere is out of stock for imports of the proper game for DSlyre said:

A clip for the curious. It's like a cross between The Conduit and Mario Sunshine. It might be better than both. Put together. Nah.

I take it'll be again 200 points cheaper for the US? Fuck 'em if so, still burned by BB Plus.

Agreed. They've already increased the monetary price of Nintendo Points here but to also expect us to pay an extra 200 points for a game really is taking the piss. I'll buy this only if the US price is the same.

That was for DSi points, the price of Wii points didn't change.

Buying DSi points from the machine itself costs £9 per 1000 points, compared to £7 if you buy Nintendo points cards or Wii points from the machine itself.
You can actually get DSi points cheaper by buying points cards, since they still retail for the same price as they always have.

The points/£ cost the same only if I buy Wii Points directly online (where they're still £7 = 1000 Wii points). They've basically stealth increased the price by phasing out the old £15 = 2000 Wii points (physical goods) package and replaced it with the new £20 = 2000 Nintendo points.
I'm kinda glad that I stocked up on the £13 = Nintendo 3000 points though. Thank you Amazon fuck ups!
Japan's July schedule is REALLY barebones:
FC:
-Tantei Jinguuji Shaburo: Toki no Sugiyuku Mama ni (June 30th)
-Final Fantasy III
SFC:
-Super Punch-Out!!
VCA:
-Marvel Land (June 30th)
-Shinobi
On the plus side, vc-pce lists Bomberman '94 and Detana!! Twinbee for Europe, so there will be a Hanabi Festival

About damn time, there's a ton of import games rated by PEGI now!
I'm sorry (should I even apologize?) but I'm calling it: Boxlife is my favorite handheld game of all time. A 5$ game justified the purchase of a 170$ system. The DSiWare games I had bought (and still buying) are justifying it, sure, but Boxlife alone made me happy that I got the system. I'm flying to Dubai tomorrow's morning and I'll be taking nothing but my DSi and maybe Lock's Quest. I can foresee the epic vacation being dominated by nothing but Boxlife and PictoBits :lol
Echoes said:
And I say you have nothing to apologize for.
Boxlife was the keystone that tipped me personally over the edge into the fiscal justification zone. I don't know if I'd rest the entirety of DSi's worth on it, but with PiCTOBiTS, to a lesser-but-still-notable extent Aquia, and then M vs DK and MFC, I am solid on this thing. And then I get to continue with my still-expanding DS collection too.
But the great part is that it's only a handful of months old. Can't wait to see what's coming out down the line.
Not to get hopes up but VC-PCE is also listing it will have some sever maintenance down time. Might be something interesting both because of Japan's anemic (comparatively) announced lineup and because I see no reason why that server would even need maintenance since it seems like a low traffic site that almost never updates.
...or maybe I'm just digging too hard. Yeah that's probably it.

I just bought Aquia. Hmmm... It didn't click with me yet. Only finished the first level but... I dunno. Doesn't have that "OMG" feel that's presented in PictoBits and Boxlife. I'll give it some more time, though.
I now have 400 points left. What should I get? Paper Airplane Chase? Birds & Beans? Any others?

Buy more points and get Mighty Flip Champs or hold off.
Unless you're a girly girl. Then you should buy American Popstar.

BTW just purchased Puzzle Bobble on WiiWare along with both PB2 and PB3 packs.
I got burned by the retail Bust A Move game as well, but this one is pretty much just as good as the classics.
The only thing I miss and I have been doing so since the PSone version of Puzzle Bobble 2 Arcade Edition is the Time Attack mode.
Being able to play the game that way in one, but especially 2 player mode was gaming heaven.
Shaving hundreds of seconds of you best times was so competitive and so much fun, I can't believe Taito didn't use this mode again.
