Not that it's a big deal, but I disagree with the number score of this review. I understand Corbie's logic of rating the game from an "every-gamer" point-of-view, but I think that the written review rather than the numerical one should indicative of playability for gamers interested in purchasing this game. In my opinion, rating it low because some gamers might not be able to adjust to the differences between an NES game and a 2009 hot-of-the-press game is selling it short. Give it what it deserves. Give it what everyone knows it deserves: if the scene kids whine then no harm, no foul. Chalk it up to acculturation.
This is definitely my favourite DSi game out thus far. The game could've easily been priced at 800 points, but good on Nintendo and Hudson for putting it at a cheaper price.
Just a bit higher score then I would give it, but still a good game. A bit too easy for me, and the regular non-boss battles are a bit too simple at times. And I personally dont like the story. But still a good game.
Yep, this is most definitely a 10/10 game! I've only played the DS version, and it's one of the best RPGs/games I've ever played! Should really get back to it at some point...
I thought Super Mario Galaxy was a unique and enjoyable experience in and of itself. I'm going for all 242 stars in it (the game's HUUUUGE!), and the Prankster Comets are killing me. Oh, and when we're talking about style, SMG is full of it, especially in its majestic orchestrated soundtrack and some of the more whimsical galaxies.
To be perfectly honest, I've still yet to play Yoshi's Island (no need to flame me for that, thank you!), so I'm not gonna judge it just yet, but I do dig the art style!
Now, if it doesn't come to VC soon, I'll have no choice but to emulate it! We're probably gonna get it as the 400th or 500th game, like they gave us Super Mario RPG as the 250th, and Majora's Mask as the 300th.
Well, I was actually expecting a better game than what Drake reviewed (No 8-player online smackdown? ) Oh well, when I have enough points to blow, this is definitely on the list.
I'm still to see how Reflection is going to appeal to us DSi owners. Mid-November! (Check my thread in the DSiWare section for confirmation!)
What you expect for a remake of Bomberman blast half the price of the wiiware version on Dsiware? I would download this if I had a Dsi and if it did not have to much lag. Is the lag bad with 4 people wifi?

I thought Animal Crossing: Wild World was the worst of the Animal Crossings, but a lot of people such as Nintendo Life think it os the best.

I would rate Animal Crossing a 9/10. I absolutely loved this game and I have put tons of hours into it. It is practically a virtual life in every way.

I was researching this game to see if it would be worth it, then waiting for a review, well, now I know I'll buy this. Nice review by the way.
Oh, and, Queen FTW!

Doesn't look worthy for my first bomberman. Looks like it's Blast for me.

Good to see something other than a puzzle game on DSiWare. Ive already got Bomberman on DS so its a pass, but good to see it on the service.

Great review! I might buy this, but I will have to find a way to permanently connect my DSi to the internet first.
