When are we getting Minis March Again? I don't understand why Nintendo has such separate release windows for their downloadable games. Microsoft and Sony (mostly) have it right but Nintendo seem to pick randomly when to release games in certain regions.

Brain Training is excellent and well worth 800 points. It's just the maths games (ie. the most fun ones) from Normal Brain Training with some new games added, and is constantly on the DSi so you can do it daily without the fuss of swapping carts. Sudoku aside there's easily as much content as in the £20 game.

US store has been much better recently with Minis March Again and that Flip Champs game. Glad I imported. ;)

/edit: Flip Champs of course, instead of Flip Masters :)

Icarian looks ace, a bit like Lostwinds perhaps.

So, anyone have any idea why Nintendo have bother with DSiware?

This is a totally dropped ball as far as I can see. Something that could have had the potential to be something like the Apple iphone apps store is just a curiosity with a few mediocre titles on offer. It was the thing I was most excited about when I got my DSi but it's just been a waste of time. It has so much potential too.

If you thought DSiWare was going to be good after seeing how they've treated Virtual Console and WiiWare then you're living in mentalsville.

I downloaded Icarian over the weekend, played it for about an hour, or so. Interesting little platformer combining pointer based puzzles; quite early on you gain the ability to manouver certain marked objects, they then start combining this with tracking/moving them whilst manipulating the main character, Nyx, at the same time. If you can do the whole patting the head whilst rubbing your stomach thing with ease, you won't have much trouble; if you're crap at doing that, well...
