Nice to see that all the hard work that goes into Wiiware games is equivalent to the DSi Download Service. The future is bright indeed.

You just listed three worthwhile games. For a service that has been out for many months now.

I know that there are more good games on WiiWare than that (still not quite enogh yet, in my opinion), but if you're gonna participate in list wars, at least, you know, bring a list

I didn't know I was list-warring, I was just mentioning games that I personally have had time to download and play. Sorry for not being a retarded fanboy. I'll try to do you guys proud next time.

Yeah, when I was at home, I had no problem. I was showing it off at work, and it COULD NOT differentiate me from the white walls in the background. I realize I don't get out that much, but come on Nintendo, I'm not THAT pasty.

Got the same problem when I was trying it out. I've got a darker complexion, and I was in a bright room. I feel i should've held onto the free 1000 pts. I'm sure there's still potential for DSiWare outside of y'know.... gimmicky casual games.

No no... maybe it's not racist, maybe it was just made by minorities. We all know that when minorities make fun of white people that it's not racist. It's the best double standard ever!

Most of the time the calibration part has worked for me, but there have been the few times where i spent a good 5 minutes trying desperately to get the dsi to recognize me. I can't tell if it's the face or the hand that it's having trouble recognizing...

"Also, trying to use the game against, say, a dark blue background has been no help either."

The DS and the input "blue" do not go together. You should know this.

Yeah, the game would be a nice download, but instead hardly works. What's worse is there's a damn time limit in each of the games and the camera never recognizes you.

This game is clearly aimed at black, disadvantaged, inner-city youth.

Look at the muzzle flashes and the crosshairs in the middle. Notice how it forbids white people from playing.

I'm calling Fox News and reinstating Jack Thompson's bar license.

i had problems as well and I am African American and my skin is dark as my mii picture you see here. I switched rooms where the walls are the same color (beige), just further away from the screen, and it worked fine for the most part, although it didn't like the palm side of my hands, so i had to use the other side

I was thinking it would probably work better for someone with darker skin, but if it doesn't work for an African American than it's probably just straight up broken.

I kind of find it funny how you used the journalism collective "our" when you mentioned skin color. I find it even more funny that every Joystiq staffer probably does have light peach skin.
