Come to think of it, what is the size limit on DSi games?

Judging from the fact that DSiWare games use the same 8 blocks = 1 MB sizing as the Wii, the current max appears to be 16 MB (128 blocks). We've seen a few titles come close already, but not quite reach that.

Just picked up Contra Rebirth, it's a first class purchase drawing teas of dorky joy.

*over the top opening cut scene and story.
*impossibly cool battle scenarios.
*you can shoot from every direction but your ass.
*filled to the brim with enemies.

There's a lot of old school luv'n here

Wakugumi is awesome but it did not click with me right now so I'm all kinds of bad It was the same with chokan hitufude on release. I could not get a C rank there ever

Just bought it myself, I didn't have a clue what I was doing at first But it's pretty simple once you 'click' with it. Honestly it feels like another Art Style game in all but name, which is no bad thing!

Does anyone here play Dragon Quest Wars much by the way?

 

[Yes Boss!]

Quiet this morning.

Hopefully Lost Winds 2 for NA.

Oh, now you've gone and jinxed it.

Missed that release on the last page. Well, hopefully something nice for VC as well!

I'm still puzzling over when we'll get the next Monkey Island episode...

I could see Castlevania and Zombies Ate My Neighbors next week, though.

NINTENDO DOWNLOAD: DISCOVER NEW LOSTWINDS, NUMEROUS DOMO GAMES AND A TRUE ARCADE CLASSIC

Oct. 19, 2009

Eight is great for gamers this week as Nintendo adds eight new titles to its ever-growing library of downloadable games. First on the list is LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias, a follow-up to one of the most popular releases on the WiiWare™ service. Next, Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem makes survival of the fittest the law of the land. Meanwhile, Nintendo DSiWare™ welcomes Domo™, a strange creature who hatched from an egg. Also known as the popular mascot of Japan's NHK television station, Domo stars in five separate new Nintendo DSiWare games. Topping it off is RYGAR™, a 1980s arcade gem making its Virtual Console™ debut.

WiiWare

LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias
Publisher: FRONTIER
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Mild Fantasy Violence
Price: 1,000 Wii Points™
Description: LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias is a sequel to the award-winning WiiWare launch title LostWinds. Enril the Wind Spirit returns to protect and guide young Toku by powering his jumps, aiding his glides and smashing his enemies. An evil adversary binds the fate of Toku's mother, Magdi, and the ancient Melodia civilization. To save Magdi, Toku and Enril must face new foes, enlist friends old and new, and wield incredible new powers - including the ability to switch the very seasons themselves - as they explore the diverse, richly interactive Chilling Peaks and Melodia City areas of the magical land of Mistralis. This enchanting, exhilarating, explorative game play experience is bursting with new ideas that make exceptional use of the Wii Remote™ controller. The awesome power of the Wind is back in the palm of your hand.

Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem
Publisher: Hudson Entertainment
Players: 1-2
ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Crude Humor, Mild Fantasy Violence, Suggestive Themes
Price: 500 Wii Points
Description: Battle for the future in a world governed by the law of the jungle. As you move through the stages, your character evolves and your weapons and shooting abilities change. First, throw weapons by hand, then proceed to use tools and different types of projectiles. A cooperative two-player mode is also available. The controls are simple: Move the character with the control stick, adjust the crosshairs with the Wii Remote controller and shoot down targets while dodging enemy attacks. Getting hit by an enemy bullet or touching an enemy close to you will count as a miss. With each miss, you'll lose one heart; losing all hearts will end the game.

Nintendo DSiWare

Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone) - Comic Mischief

Hard-Hat Domo™
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points

Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1

Along the way, he'll collect coins and earn bowls of meat-and-potato stew while avoiding bunkers and water hazards.

Rock-n-Roll Domo™
Publisher: Nintendo
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)
Price: 200 Nintendo DSi Points
Description: In Rock-n-Roll Domo, you'll control Domo as he takes the stage in search of fortune and fame. Hit the right notes in rhythm (using the touch screen, if desired) to rock the house. If your timing needs work, use the mixer to practice songs. Complete five different songs at a series of increasingly larger venues to help Domo become a superstar.

Players: 1
ESRB Rating: E (Everyone)

Virtual Console

RYGAR™
Publisher: Tecmo

ESRB Rating: E10+ (Everyone 10 and Older) - Mild Fantasy Violence

VideoMan... do you lurk in this thread every Monday morning, new post open and ready to go, waiting to slap in the Press Release the moment it appears?

 

[iamaustrian]

holy fuck at all the Domo Dsiware titles!

Spoiler

you bastards

 

[Hobbun]

So I am assuming this is the arcade version of Rygar as it is 600 points?

yeah , it is
I have it (euro i am)

 

[Hobbun]

Ok, thanks.

I think I’ll wait for the NES version. Prefer the Metroidvania type set up more.

Unless the arcade version is that good? I’ve never played it.

You're just mad because I beat you to it.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

OP updated. Any footage of the Domo games? I remember they sounded promising when they were revealed (or at least stuck on the release list) at E3, but I haven't seen anything else since then...

 

[Volcynika]

This post smells of jealousy!

(coughs)

 

[radcliff]

Ok, thanks.

FYI, you cannot continue during the last few stages of the arcade version and the game is hard. Just something to consider.

 

[iamaustrian]

yea, it's pretty easy at the beginning but that thing gets hard later on.
get the NES version instead as it's far superior to the arcade version(exept graphics of course).

 

[Hobbun]

FYI, you cannot continue during the last few stages of the arcade version and the game is hard. Just something to consider.

Ok, most likely will pass then. Have enough games to keep me busy. Will probably just wait for the NES version.

Thanks.

Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem

I read that as Shantotto: Evolutionary Mayhem first time :lol

 

[zigg]

Wow, all at once? That's more than will fit on the Recommended Titles screen :lol

I wonder if this means Nintendo is feeling a bit more confident about DSiWare output going forward.

 

[blu]

way forward.

 

[nincompoop]

Cool, the Wii needs more target shooting games and at only 500 points Shootanto looks bizarre enough to give it a shot.

 

[zigg]

Screenshots of the Domo games from today's press update. Sorry they're not inline, but not everyone wants to see them, and I don't really have time to tinypic them right now anyway (we have hotlink protection...)

I think I will get all of these. They look like ridiculous fun.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Yeah just go ahead and wait for Rygar NES. In the interim you could always grab Rygar PS2 or at least listen to that game's soundtrack. Holy carp it's amazing.

i am pretty tempted to get all of the Domo games..anyone getting any of them? I will probably just get one to see how it is..and go from there.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Holy crap @ all 5 Domo games getting released at once, that's more like it NOA! (Didn't they get bad impressions from their JPN releases though?)

Shame about the one VC game release again, especially since I'm not interested in Rygar but LostWinds is a sure buy for me!

Will wait for impressions on the Hudson Wii Ware game.

Oh as a side note, Pinball Pulse The Ancients kicks arse. If you like Pinball, it's a must buy!

 

[Somnid]

They haven't been released in Japan.

I'm curious who developed them, Nintendo's publishing...

the game was released on the GBA where Domo got sucked into the tv and was a part of different shows. They broke up the different games into 200 point downloads.

I guess the silver lining is no one seems to have played it.
