Now should I wait or just spend my 1000 points?

Ehh... the only one on there I'd buy is Pyoro... and it's only 200 points, so I'd go for it.

Art Style: Aquia is one of those great puzzle games you can lose yourself in for hours. Really the only one worth getting imo.

Art Style: Aquia is such a great game, I love it.

Unfortuantly I'm not buying a DSi anytime soon and thus won't be buying it myself anytime soon (though I shall play my friend's copy when possible).
Anyone know if Aquia is like another game out there for PC or a past game system?

@ David Hinkle

Wario Ware: Snapped is sorta pathetic. That and it only has 20 minigames to boot. Not really worth the 500 points. It's one of those that you'll play it once or twice and never touch it again. So basically yah, no love for warioware :P

Ugh, are they really keeping Wii and DSi points separate? Combined with their mandatory point purchase quantities, now I'll have two sets of unused points collecting dust.

If I get any of this first round of games, it will be Aquia.

PSN is the way to go when it comes to that stuff. Money transfers no matter what because you have an account.

Seeing that PSN is doing so well that Sony has started offering more and more incentives to developers to develop for it, even more if its exclusive, its no surprise you can download for either the PS3 or PSP using it, and the fact that Wii Wares are failing so much that Nintendo has had to unlock the system so the Wares programs can be stored on SD cards, I have no idea why Nintendo is separating out the points programs into two different discrete and independent categories, they'll never make any money at it [[SARCASIM]]

If I wasn't so lazy, I'd post a picture of an ass with "and the fact that Wii Wares are failing so much that Nintendo has had to unlock the system so the Wares programs can be stored on SD cards" coming out of it in a speech balloon.

The question, of course, is how exactly they would do that, with the lack of any sort of account system and all.

Though i suppose you can still link it to your MyNintendo (now Club Nintendo) account if you wish, but that still doesn't create a unified base.

Question: Can the DSi still download demos from the Wii's Nintendo channel?
Also can you save these demos to the SD card? Or do they get erased when you power down?

Demos work the same way as downloading single-card multiplayer games. I can't imagine they'd work any differently on the DSi.

Yes to your first questions, DS Download Play and Wii DS Demos work just fine. Didn't notice it streaming any faster or anything, but still works fine.

As far as your next questions, I didn't really look, but I don't think there is a new option to download to an SD card, the demo thing works exactly the same so I'm guessing it's still just streaming it right to the DS internal memory. I'm at work right now so I can't test, but when I get home if there is still interest I can check for ya and let you know.

Thanks guys, I was wondering if I could download a bunch of demos to take with me on the go.

Grr. I can't believe they didn't release Majora's Mask today on the VC. I was all ready to plunk down for it with my last 1300 Wii points >:(

Should've figured it out by now. NoA definitely has no plan of action for VC anymore. That stopped a long time ago. Every week a surprise, every week a disappointment of some kind, especially in lieu of the very coordinated efforts of NCL and NoE

Was that announced for today? Meh, whatever.

As for the DSi games, I have to say, god damn I'd be tempted to get all of them! Except the magician one. Even Brain Age - you know, it's kind of fun in small doses...

Luckily, I don't have a DSi. :) Yet.

I know, I'm really itching to play MM again. :( I have been looking for the Master's Quest/Majora's Mask GameCube pack thing but it's getting rarer and rarer.

Last week wasn't a disappointment, which is probably exactly why this week is. Two big-name games in a row? That'd be pushing it.

Probably because it never existed in the first place. :P The Ocarina of Time: Master Quest disc and Zelda: Collector's Edition disc (which is the one that included Majora's Mask) were two different things.

@Roto13: You're right, I always get them mixed up. I want both of them, though, and I can never find either. :S

WHERE...IS...SSB...AND...MAJORA'S MASK?!?!?!?!?

I love you, Nintendo, but you've failed me yet again.

Another painful Monday. So sad. So very, bitterly sad.

Picked up DSi Browser (free), Bird and Beans (incredible value for 200 points), WarioWare Snapped (500 points, would be worth it if it ever worked), and Art Style Auqia (500 points, great fun, recommend it).

..I'll wait til something worthwhile appears for the DSi (before I even buy a DSi).. if the console is more powerful/able, I want to see something to reflect that.. the camera's are a bit pointless to me.. where, with downloads, on Wii, I've only downloaded Street Fighter 2: World Champions & a SNES rpg (I can't remember which), but they look like a collection of squares, then I have to keep changing my HDTV's screen aspect to 4:3 because the Wii doesn't compensate - (sorry, little off topic there)

BUY ART STYLE AQUIA. NOW

That game is great, and I'm saving the other points. I LOVE WarioWare, but WarioWare Eye Toy doesn't sound too fun to me.

The DSi doesn't support my wireless network security. Hoped they would have added a few more security options since the first DS.

WiFi settings are stored on each cart, not the DS. DSi enhanced games are going to have more settings.

You can setup your internet settings on the DSi with the actual system. There is onboard memory where it is saved. These are the settings I'm annoyed with.

What's the point-to-dollar ratio? Is 1000 points equal to 10 bucks, or something like that?

Hmmmm. Looks like I'll already need an extra point card, since Brain Age is 800 and Aquia is 500
