DSi in the house!

[Tusock]

So I finally upgraded to a DSi and gave my original DS to the young fella. Definitely a step up in the visual department. It was a secondhand DSi so I was pleasantly surprised to find it had 1000 points on it to spend on DSiware.
Got Dark Void Zero and AlphaBounce.

What are the other must have/decent DSiware titles? Is there anyway of getting Zelda Four Swords that they were giving away a while back?

Had a old school moment when the right shoulder button stopped working, google said 'blow in the gap behind the button.' IT WORKED!!!

LOL! Love the button fix. I do feel the need to ask, how come you didn't go for a second hand 3DS instead?
I don't think there are any major must have DSi specific games. Just the usual must have DS titles.

Basically it was just too cheap to pass up. I'm on the look out for a 3DS though...

$200 used is the going rate I think, which seems like a good deal at the price of two console games. I'm still waiting for the rev.2 though, if I upgrade at all. Haven't used my DS in several years despite there being plenty of great games I haven't yet played, including Zelda Spirit Tracks which I even own.

AlphaBounce is my favourite DS game. It's huge too, and way deeper than it looks - i personally think it could have been a full-priced game. It was such a buzz finally finding earth

There was a Castlevania clone that i really enjoyed too, feck what was it called, Heart of ... hang on i'll grab the DSi and have a look ...... "Soul of Darkness". Was pretty cool.

If you like soccer, Real Football 2010 is great. Crazy Golf is a cool touch-screen game. And less of a game, more of a music studio, is RTMK, or Rytmik - super-easy to get great sounding tunes happening. I spent many hours on that getting tunes sounding just right (edit; if you get Rytmik, use headphones - SOOO much better).

And for 200 points, i also quite liked Extreme Hangman. I mean, it's hangman, but it's fun.

For retro-fun, the Game & Watch titles are also great - love my Donkey Kong Jr. My auntie won $100K on the Golden Kiwi back in 1982, went overseas and brought me back a bunch of Game & Watch games. Wish i'd kept them!

For puzzle games, i enjoyed Glow Artisan. Quite different.

I've pretty much really enjoyed all the DSiWare games i've downloaded, with the exception of Fire Panic; that sucked.

Oops, the fire red was at Dick Smith online for $199 at a 7pm deal. Not sure if they lasted the hour allocated to them.
