My prediction is that the DSi will make huge waves in the American market. Remember when everyone was clamoring over a DS Lite? Oh wait that’s every Christmas season.
What’s the game about? This is from developer WayForward’s official statement:
“players control Alta as she warps through a virtual stack of maze-laden chambers that ‘flip’ past like pages of a magical book. Action takes place on the top screen, with the Touch Screen displaying a reflected preview of the next room, and Alta’s projected destination within it. When it’s time to flip, Alta uses her Magical Warp Wand to replace her world with the next one. Will she land safely on solid ground, or be crushed under it? By cycling endlessly through room after brain busting room, players will match wits with some of the most inspired traps in puzzle/platforming history”.
The DSiWare service looks like it’s going to be a huge selling point if full games are provided. Can you just imagine all of the kids who will steal money out of their Mom’s purse to go buy Nintendo Points?
What’s the DSi have that’s extra? Check out our full DSi profile here.
So you’re telling me that I can have a NEW DS(i) which is uglier, more expensive, and won’t play my Guitar Hero? DSiWare better be XBL Arcade good to even come close to justifying this device.
@Chris B, well Guitar Hero is garbage on the DS so that isn’t really a factor, but DSi ware should be pretty awesome if enough developers hop on the bandwagon.
I think this is awesome, WayForward is great and I can’t wait to give it a try once I get a DSi
I wonder if DSi can be as successful as WiiWare or XBLA
Nintendo will make sure that the DSi has a killer app.
Edit*DSi will “have” a killer app.
Hmmm, i may pick up a DSi after all, the DSi ware could be interesting.
