New Brain Training on DSiWare today News

Wii DS News by Robert Purchese

23 October, 2009

Nintendo has added a new Brain Training game to DSiWare today, based around learning through music, pictures and words.

A new Themes mode allows drawing and even acting to be polished, plus there's a Germ Buster mini-game packed in for light relief. A Little Bit of... Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: Arts Edition costs 800 DSi Points (approx. £7/€8).

Also on DSiWare is Combat of Giants: Dragons - Bronze Edition, which sounds brilliant. The aim is to fly around as a dragon and kill other dragons - either your friends' or the computer's. Combat of Giants: Dragons costs 800 DSi Points (approx. £7/€8).

Over on WiiWare you will find PictureBook Games: A Pop-Up Adventure, a boardgame with animated pop-up paper characters. There's multiplayer so a gaggle can play together, and game costs 800 Wii Points (approx. £5.40/€8).

Finally, on Virtual Console Arcade, is the mighty Shinobi, which offers a slice of the distant past for 800 Wii Points (approx. £5.40/€8).

I've already got Brain Training Maths Edition and Brain Training Sudoku Edition on the DSiWare. The Maths one includes Germ Buster already, or was it the other one that has it? Anyhow it's kinda annoying how Brain Training is being split up so much. Even Electroplankton is being split into separate games for DSiWare. Now the service is just looking kinda suck. I'd rather it be used as a kind of Games on Demand thing with the same full quality games that are available at retailers, like Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, as well as classic GB and GBA games. That would make DSi look a bit more worth it. As it is now, DSiWare just has super small games, mostly one or two-star quality, but about one-thousandth as many as you can find on the iPhone app store.

DSI ware is truly hopeless. It makes Sony's psp performance on the EU store look wonderful.

They surely could add some more content in the weekly updates but there have been quite a few little gems in there so far. (US store at least - and cheap as chips at the current USD rate :) )

Nintendo's support for these is laughable... although Ubi's Protothea doesn't look too bad, so I may give it a whirl at some point (even though the article didn't seem to mention it?)
