Shadow Dancer and Stop Stress aren't available in Germany for some reason. As if the update wasn't bad enough already...

BTW, I got Tomena Sanner for 1.60€ on the iPod, so much for whining about cellphone ports, eh?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #231 on:** January 08, 2010, 10:11:20 AM »

Really? Odd.

Shadow Dancer was kind of a surprise. It was one of the Virtual Console LAUNCH games in Japan, so it was out in Japan since December 2006 and only now got released in another region.

Hm, is Chronos Twins the same as the one on WiiWare? Because I was thinking about getting the WiiWare one but I may get the DSi one instead.

I liked the sound of Starship Defense as I read the review the other day on Nintendo Life so I might try that one.

I'm pretty sure that's a typo, and that it is on WiiWare only. I can't find it listed on any lists of DSiWare games anywhere...

vudu · « **Reply #238 on:** January 19, 2010, 02:34:56 PM »

It's not a typo--it came out yesterday for DSiWare. I'm not sure if it's the same game as the WiiWare one. I asked the same question last week but didn't get a satisfactory answer. Wait a couple days for the Nintendo Life review.

Mop it up · « **Reply #239 on:** January 19, 2010, 02:36:56 PM »

Ah, thanks. I couldn't find it on GameFAQs or Wikipedia so I was confused.

vudu · « **Reply #240 on:** January 19, 2010, 02:52:31 PM »

GameFAQS can suck a big one. When I type in Lost Winds into the search bar it returns 350 goddamn results that aren't the fucking game I'm looking for because I didn't realize that the game is actually called LostWinds. I hate Camel Case.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #241 on:** January 19, 2010, 03:14:31 PM »

The WiiWare game was Chronos Twins DX.

I like Wikipedia, but the editors who maintain the WiiWare and DSiWare lists (especially for Japanese releases) are terrible. Tons of info is missing, including many games.

I like the idea of Dark Void Zero, that it's supposed to be a "lost" NES game.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #242 on:** January 19, 2010, 04:28:31 PM »

I don't know if Chronos Twins DX is easier than Chronos Twin (no plural for twins here) but considering how much people liked DX while the DS one got panned for being confusingly difficult and whatnot I expect there to be some improvements in DX.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #243 on:** January 19, 2010, 07:05:41 PM »

Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom for NES on VC

Japan also gets 2 DSiWare Apps:
Renjuku Kanji: Shoogaku 2 Nensei (this helps young students learn kanji)
Naruto: Shippuden (basically just another photo app, this one lets you take a picture and put your head onto a character from anime/manga Naruto Shippuden)

What is Dark Void Zero about? Calling it a 'lost NES game' has colored me intrigued.

Shaymin · « **Reply #245 on:** January 19, 2010, 07:30:43 PM »

It's a faux-8bit game developed as part of the backstory for Dark Void.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #246 on:** January 19, 2010, 08:08:07 PM »

Yep, Capcom made it have NES style graphics. They then came up with the idea to say that they had developed this as a NES game years ago but never released it and then forgot about it. This is even what they submitted to Nintendo for the games description for the weekly press release:

As the '80s were drawing to a close, the developers at Capcom began work on a top-secret project that aimed to set new standards for the platformer genre. That game was called Dark Void. Alas, Capcom suspended development on Dark Void as it began to evaluate the SNES. Before long, the game was shelved and drifted, unnoticed, into the annals of gaming history. Dark Void became a legendary "lost project" at Capcom. Now, nearly 20 years later, Dark Void is back! To commemorate the game's humble origins, Capcom has commissioned this recreation of the original 8-bit classic, now re-titled Dark Void Zero, on the Nintendo DSi system. You play as Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth. With the aid of Nikola Tesla and his state-of-the-art rocket pack, Rusty must take down the Watchers and their minions across three intense levels of action and intrigue.

I figured out my confusion over Chronos Twins. It is listed on GameFAQs, but it was released as a regular DS game three years ago in other territories, so it has a shot of the DS box.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #248 on:** January 19, 2010, 11:34:46 PM »

Yeah, it was called Chrono Twin. I am not sure how it's related to the current games though since I didn't know about it until a few days ago.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #249 on:** January 21, 2010, 08:24:30 PM »
