If you've played Cave Story somewhere else (PC, PSP, Wii, etc.......) I'd give it to Shantae. It's a lot of fun, and I personally enjoyed it more than Cave Story. There's only so many times you can play Cave Story before it loses it's lustre.
Thanks Irixith! I I'll buy Shantae and wait for the 3ds version of Cave Story :mrgreen:

Nobody has mentioned Link 'n' Launch yet, which has to be one of the best puzzle games of all time.

So far I have Dark Void Zero, Rayman (for the together retro), and Link 'n' Launch. All of them are fantastic games.

"All time" is a bit of a stretch. It's OK in short goes, but doesn't have any longevity, nor does it even stand to a long playthrough. It's definitely unique in a sea of knockoffs and crappy puzzlers, but it's not enough to stand amongst the best in the genre.

If it were say 200pts, and not 500, it might be easier to recommend.

I just played it for an hour straight. I think it's totally worth $5. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Although, once you finish the game, there's not a whole lot to do, hopefully Nintendo will release more levels or something.

This thread is old, but I just got a 3DS and am downloading some games. I'm wondering if you guys have any more recommendations to add to this thread?

I'll keep saying it, because they don't get enough love - The Art Style series is basically the best thing to download on DSiWare, and are some of the best puzzle games I've ever played. Pictobits/Picopict, Boxlife and Intersect/Digidrive are the pick of the bunch, but KuBos/Precipice, Aquia/Aquite and Code/Base 10 are also great. I'm not a fan of Nemrem/Zengage though.

I've been playing lots of Shantae Risky's Revenge lately, and its actually very good. The length could use some work though, since I am at the last of three Barons at only 4 hours into the game.

I hear Mighty Switch Force is pretty excellent, and compensates its length issues with time trials. Developed by the same team that did Shantae.

It's excellent, but 3DS eShop exclusive, not DSiWare.

At least the other 2 Mighty games are Dsiware :)
