Having seen that, I'm reminded of an old Penny Arcade comic:
 
"It'll be so awesome when it doesn't get here."

Well that is just a gorgeous thing there. One more thing to put on the DSiware wish list if I ever get one of those.

[Peachylala]

This makes me want to go back and play Shantae GBC again...

[Stratos]

I'm excited for it. Looks really nice.

[Peachylala]

Shantae was like a mix of Castlevania 2, Zelda 2, and Metroid.
 
It was the greatest GBC game nobody bought.

[TJ Spyke]

It's a shame, but not surprising since it came out a full year after the Game Boy Advance was released in North America.

[MoronSonOfBoron]

Spank me for not having a DSi. Spank me extra hard... for mommy.

[Peachylala]

Shantae won't spank you, but she can dance like a sex goddess.

The debut trailer of the game has been released, it looks pretty good.

Haven't we seen this elsewhere already? I'm pretty sure that's not a new trailer.

Do we have a confirmed release date yet?

[Halbred]

No. No release date.

That same trailer was actually posted here nearly a month ago. I thought it was familiar.

I assumed it was new because GameTrailers just posted that video today.

Sweet! I wonder if anyone on here has downloaded Mighty Flip Champs because of that offer.

[Halbred]

*raises hand*

[TheFleece]

I did and it's probably the best Dsiware game because it's fun and can't be recreated on another system. I've never played a Shantae game before so I'm excited for this one.

[Caliban]

Downloading it this very moment.

[Halbred]

Downloaded it the second it came online. Played it for 20 minutes during my morning med routine. It's REALLY good. The spritework is incredible.

[Caliban]

The attention to detail in regards to animations, background, and character art is amazing. I was hooked the moment I started playing it.

[Adrock]

I'm 200 DSi Points short. Motherfuc....

Does anyone have any suggestions to use up the extra points I'll be buying today? I'm thinking about downloading Mighty Flip Champs and Soul of Darkness which I heard is similar to Castlevania. Is Bomberman Blitz worth it? In particular, how does multiplayer work? My brother has a DS Lite, can we play wirelessly using just my download?

EDIT: I think I found my 4 games: Mighty Flip Champs, Shantae, Dark Void Zero, and Soul of Darkness. Should be 3000 DSiWare points. I still have the 1000 from the DSi launch.

I own all of those.

Mighty Flip Champs is a fun puzzle game, but it gets hard fast.  Don't expect to finish it. 
Dark Void Zero is fun, but it's only about an hour long and there's not much reason to replay it.
Soul of Darkness is a pretty fun, if somewhat janky, Castlevania clone.  Lots of fun, but nothing you haven't seen before (especially if you're played Order of Eclisia, which it most strongly resembles).

Your list is missing Pictobits.  It's the best Art Style game on the DSi (and probably the best one period).  If you like puzzle games you should strongly consider it.  Also, the music is sublime.

Shantae is completely riddled with cartoon/sprite bewbage. Not saying I don't appreciate that part of the female anatomy, but good lord do you really need bouncing cartoon boobs on what look to be children in your platformers?

[Halbred]

Yes, I know. Zach's Game of the Year, 2010.

[Adrock]

Thanks, Vudu. I passed on Dark Void Zero. I still have 500 points left.

...good lord do you really need bouncing cartoon boobs on what look to be children in your platformers?

Yes.
