darksnowman Posted April 7, 2012 Author Posted April 7, 2012 I've 1,600 points on my DSi. Help me spend em! Here's what I've bought already: - Dragon Quest Wars - Shantae - VT Tennis I take it there is nothing of note left to come out on DSiWare that I should wait for? I want to spend all 1,600 points and not upload any more so can you bare that in mind. I'm thinking an Art Style game might be worth grabbing...?

Here's what I've bought already: - Dragon Quest Wars - Shantae - VT Tennis If I had 1600 points left I'd be tempted by: - Mighty Milky Way - Dark Void Zero - Or wait/hope for Cave Story ...But I'm not sure you like any of those genres?

I want to spend all 1,600 points and not upload any more so can you bare that in mind. I'm thinking an Art Style game might be worth grabbing...? All of the Art Style games are well worth getting! There's loads of other greats like Xcape/3D Space Tank, Link N' Launch, Spotto/Bird and Bombs, Aura Aura Climber, Mario VS DK 3, Dr Mario, Pinball Pulse, Mighty Flip Champs, Mighty Milky Way, Brain Training Arts & Math, Face Pilot, Mr Driller, Trajectile/Reflect Missile, Starship Defence, etc. There's no need to hold out and there's only 2 major games left to come to the EU DsiWare shop (Cave Story and Ikachan. Given Nicalis' record though, lord knows if we'll ever see them!)
theBLUEBIRD Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Dark Void Zero is pretty good! And Art Style Academy is awesome if you like drawing! Also.. If you got someone to play with, you should take a look at the updated multiplayer version of Elite Forces Unit 77. Last I want to point out AlphaBounce. It's very fun, and many hundreds of hours of playtime!
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 My girlfriend requires your help. We won a £10 eShop voucher on a caption competition and we've tried validating the code given but it gives us an error. We thought that since it was a voucher you would redeem it when you try to buy something, we tried looking for Pullblox but couldn't find it. Have they stopped distributing it?
Grazza Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 We thought that since it was a voucher you would redeem it when you try to buy something, we tried looking for Pullblox but couldn't find it. Have they stopped distributing it? Just had a look. At the moment, it's five squares to the right when you start up the eShop.

darksnowman Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Is Dark Void Zero that good? I was looking here and it turns out there are plenty of highly rated DSiWare titles. Thats gonna make it difficult to narrow things down. I was thinking of looking into an ArtStyle game seeing as I've never played one - whats the most highly recommended? Maybe Mighty Milky Way as well as you can never have too much WayForward!
Ike Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I was thinking of looking into an ArtStyle game seeing as I've never played one - whats the most highly recommended? I recommend PiCOPiCT, it's all Nintendo themed, lots of remixed music and it's quite challenging on some stages.
RedShell Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I recommend PiCOPiCT, it's all Nintendo themed, lots of remixed music and it's quite challenging on some stages.I've lost count of the amount of times that I've recommended that game to @darksnowman! But what the hell, one more time won't hurt... Stevo, get PiCOPiCT!
-Dem0- Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 What are you're favourite genres snow? most of the best titles on DSiWare are puzzlers or have plenty of puzzle based gameplay. I'd go with Picopict, I've been through many recommendation threads/forums and that name has come up an awful lot along with MFC.
Grazza Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Is Dark Void Zero that good? I don't know. I should say I haven't played any of the games I suggested to you, they're just the ones I would be tempted by. Personally, I am a little bit put-off by Dark Void Zero's NES origins, and I hear it's somewhat Metroid-like so I don't know if it'd be for you either. Going by the remake, Cave Story is a good game, albeit hard and, again, it's rather Metroid-like. (Not to mention it's currently unavailable in Europe!) So I would guess Mighty Milky Way is a good contender for you. I must be honest, it is not the type of game I'd want to play if it wasn't by WayForward. But the sprite work looks good and the music is by the excellent Jake Kaufman so I think I'll give it a go sooner or later.

You do know that that backstory was just made up as a fun marketing gimmick don't you? So Bomb Monkey is a block puzzle game? Cool. I'm always game for another good block puzzle game. At the rate of Mutant Mudds' release though, I wouldn't expect it until at least next year for us though
-Dem0- Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 At the rate of Mutant Mudds' release though, I wouldn't expect it until at least next year for us though It does feel like that, but I do remember that they said Mutant Mudds could be released around April/May for EU.

darksnowman Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 I've lost count of the amount of times that I've recommended that game to @darksnowman! But what the hell, one more time won't hurt... Stevo, get PiCOPiCT! Ok ok, I hear ya! (For some reason I thought Boxlife was billed as THE ArtStyle game to get so its a good job you piped up!) What are you're favourite genres snow? most of the best titles on DSiWare are puzzlers or have plenty of puzzle based gameplay. I can pretty much enjoy anything. I tried a free Zenonia demo on my phone and didn't love it (can't imagine it feeling any better on DSi) so I'll be giving that a miss. Something quirky and fun is all I ask from the download scene.

Some great stuff there. Retro games for the win. :awesome:
-Dem0- Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Had a good read with a really nice cuppa. Thanks Grazza.
Ike Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 7 - Dragon Warrior III Very good. Should be higher :P I preferred Wario Land 2 over 3 though, as I mentioned before.
EEVILMURRAY Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Just had a look. At the moment, it's five squares to the right when you start up the eShop. Yeah we were trying it on a DSi, didn't know the eShop was only for 3DS, so I had to use the voucher. Was going to get Pullblox and hopefully Shantae, but since Shantae cost £10.40 and I had a £10 voucher, I just went for Pullbox and will probably find something else at sometime in the future.
