it's such a nice color and it reminds me of my original gba color... but black is just sleeker, always get my electronics black or white.

I'll be there
Also, they had The World Ends With You for $20, Hotel Dusk for $7, and Shiren the Wanderer for $5. I loaded up on awesome games for cheap today, so excited.
Your finger slipped!
that's almost half as much again D's as most other platforms
Do you mean the 3DS store specifically, or is DSiware in general new to you?
I posted this a couple times last thread, might as well get it in this one too:
#1 game to buy right away is Shantae. #2 is Cave Story, unless you plan on buying the upcoming 3DS version.
Around the webs I've seen people talking about other good DSiware games, looking for the best cheap ones - the consensus seems to be that Aura-Aura Climber is a really fun little game for only $2.
As far as new content unique to the 3DS shop, there's obviously Link's Awakening DX which is super worth it and Super Mario Land which is debatably worth it.
Make sure you download all the trailers from E3 and the free Excitebike 3D and Pokedex 3D.
I don't know if you've done anything with Club Nintendo, but you ought to make sure you register your 3DS and link it to a Club Nintendo account. You get 160 coins for the system, 40 for linking, and 10 for each of the free apps, giving you an easy 220 coins. I think Shantae and Cave Story will give you 10 coins each as well. The deadline for getting to Gold or Platinum is June 30, and you might not have long to do the surveys for the free apps.
EDIT: I removed Pinball Pulse from my list because it's not available on the 3DS. Shame, it's really good. I think the company that made it went under in a nasty way or something...same people who made Metroid Prime Pinball DS and Mario Pinball Land GBA.
It's yet another brick-breaking Arkanoid clone, but it sounds like it's presented very well, almost RPG-style. The levels are part of a huge map that you have to traverse one space at a time (in search of planet Earth), and you can unlock new items and rewards in certain spaces. Think of it like the Sphere Grid from FFX or License Grid from FFXII. Lots of different block types with different effects and lots of types of powerups that rain down on you. Also, only $5.
I'm going to try it out pretty soon here.
I'm sure a lot of people would recommend Link's Awakening as well. Of course one probably can't go wrong with the Tetris game either.
I wish La-Mulana was on here, ha ha
there is that one for wiiware that has been in development for like, 2 or 3 years now, but I just checked it and it looks and sounds kind of bad.
If you do the DSiWare transfer from an XL or whatever to the 3DS, does it remove them from the old model? Like, I'd obviously rather play Shantae and stuff on the XL, but it'd be kinda nice to have it on both.
I was hoping to savor the irony of forcing Shiggy to do my bidding.
there wasn't a little plastic bag in with the manuals and shit?
Also, why is everything in the store stupidly expensive? Is Nintendo living in their own world where nobody else makes or sells games? $4.5 for Alleyway? I was playing free flash versions of that around 10 years ago. When I saw Tennis in there I was excited, I remember enjoying that way back when, but they've still managed to price that out of impulse buy range. Steam's shown us all that you can make a lot of extra money by setting prices low (I have 45 games in my Steam library I've never even installed), but Nintendo seems intent on not learning that lesson.
I agree a more Steamlike model would work far better though. Weekly or fortnightly sales on things. Port more shit from GB, GBA and potentially DS over to the Virtual Console. Attract more developers. Shit like that.
I think there are two problems with this. You can't just ignore the rest of the market and say 'these games are worth X' when similar games (and in the case of Zenonia, Plants Vs Zombies, and I'm sure a few others, the exact same game), are available significantly cheaper everywhere else. The other problem is that I really don't think the games are worth what they're asking anyway. I can see 3D remakes like Excitebike going for around $5-10 happily, but plain old ports of 10yo games? Alleyway on 3DS is the same price as Arcanum on GOG? Zenonia and Plants V Zombies the same price as Baldur's Gate 2 or Planescape?
They also just plain old need more games. Steam tells me it has 951 games under $10. The iOS appstore has some ridiculous number of games, all dirt cheap. You can't just say that cheap games devalue the market and thus ignore your competition's price point, or you end up with people like me who are interested in seeing the store, download it almost as soon as it comes out, browse it quickly and then leave, possibly never to return, because the prices are so ridiculous.
Hell, if you're going to charge a premium, at least make the service worthy of a premium. Make it easier to browse, to find things, give me demos, don't make me buy money in blocks. Do a little something to earn my money, instead of just sullenly saying that the cheaper store down the road's ruining the neighbourhood.
