Having praised the arrival of Nintendo's new Dsi the other week, I was disappointed to discover that the new downloadable software (Dsi Ware) that was supposedly designed to show off the hardware's capabilities turned out to be a complete a pile of junk . It's maybe a sign of the times when even Nintendo feel they have to jump on the industry's bandwagon of rushed releases.
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "One day Nintendo will pull the plug on DSiWare, such is the fate of all digital stores, and so we’ve decided that this is the perfect time to take a look at the best DSiWare games of all time."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): When talking video games, the question "where were you the first time you saw WarioWare, Inc: Mega Microgame$!?" normally doesn't come up.
LoreHound.com connects the dots between NBC's Minute to Win It and the fore bringing of microgames, the WarioWare franchise.

Or how its simple and intuitive design made developers think that it must be an easily repeatable formula; one that's possible to recreate on a shoestring budget, no less. No, none of that is why we are here. We are here because WarioWare's potential has transcended mere video game design, and leapt into the realm of analog games. To my knowledge, WarioWare's simple and fun games have lead it to become the first video game to become a TV game show."
Now all we need is a game in Minute to Win It where the contestant has to jump over an automotive potato.
