The Art Style series are phinominal games. I liked all of the DSiWare games. I suggest getting into them.
Finally, someone who likes them as much as I do :lol: Which ones are your favourites?

I'd like to pick up all the Bit Generations titles myself, particularly Coloris and SoundVoyager which never got Art Style releases. Neither did Boundish, but that one doesn't look that great anyway.

For the Wii I loved Cubello. I would sit there for hours on end trying to best my time and the wii remote controls worked great in that. For the dsi though I'm torn between two of them: Picopict and Boxlife. Both are great but Boxlife wins it out because of better touch screen implementation. Teaches me to be lightning quick.

I would rate them:

1. Picopict/Pictobits (DSiWare)
2. Rotohex (WiiWare)
3. Boxlife (DSiWare)
4. Intersect/Digidrive (DSiWare)
5. Cubello (WiiWare)
6. Code/Base 10 (DSiWare)
7. Penta Tentacles/Rotozoa (WiiWare)
8. Aquite/Aquia (DSiWare)
9. Kubos/Precipice (DSiWare)
10. Light Trax (WiiWare)
11. Orbient (WiiWare)
12. Nemrem/Zengage (DSiWare)

I generally prefer the DSiWare games, but Rotohex on Wiiware I adore. The only one of the games I don't really like is Nemrem/Zengage which is just a really really dull tile shifting game. Not really my kinda thing - I prefer the more intense or fast paced puzzlers in the series - which is most of them.

All I can play are the DSiWare games. I had the Wii but it got destroyed during Sandy and I refuse to replace it. I can't transfer all those VC and WiiWare games so what's the point.

I went to a pawn shop that uses ebay for its pricing and bought three Mega Drive games. Even after haggling I paid too much for games that aren't very good. After testing them I played a whole heap of Thunder Force 4 as a palette cleanser. Anyway... I'm not listing those finds but the next day at another pawn shop I grabbed:

Mace: The Dark Age N64 - $5.00
THPS2 - GBA - $3.00

PS1 Analog controller SCPH-1180. Not a big PS geek but recognised this from the small fuss it has caused from time to time in this thread. Took it to the counter, marked at $8.00, with the other stuff and said "this seems pretty high for a PS1 controller, the last one I bought from here was about $2.60". Dude looks at it and says "Yeah, but this is a Dual Shock so its a bit more... ehh I'll knock a couple of bucks off it for ya". So got it for $6.00. Looking forward to trying it out.

Nice Finds and great story on the PS1 Dual Analog. If only that cashier knew what slipped by! You would think of all places, a Pawn Shop would do the research online.

Got a Super Nintendo system with Super Mario World and Link to the Past with the Super Advantage for $50, I bought it from a collector and got to see their collection that had some awesome games all boxed.
