Ball Fighter

Despite the silly name for this DSiWare game, we'll give the interesting mix of puzzles and fighting the benefit of the doubt, for now.

Windy X Windam

This classic-style fighter has tons of anime archetypes battling it out, including the dungeon-crawling Izuna from the Unemployed Ninja series, since they all share the same developer.

Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5

Nov 20, 2009

If you have any fond memories of playing with Hot Wheels toy cars as a kid, you may not actually be the target market here - this game seems more directed at fans of the Cartoon Network animated series. The emphasis on ridiculous stunts and speed seems to be intact, though.

Foto Showdown

In this DSi-exclusive RPG, take pictures with the DSi's camera, which will then spawn monsters in the game based on the dominant colors in your pictures.

Let's Play Ballerina

Live your secret dream of being a pretty, pretty ballerina in this upcoming release.

101 MiniGolf World

This DSiWare release promises not just 100, but 101 holes of minigolf for you and up to seven other friends to enjoy.

Discovery Kids: Spider Quest

Nov 17, 2009

Kids may want to collect poisonous spiders, and now they can do so safely in this spider-capturing adventure.

Chaotic: Shadow Warriors

Nov 17, 2009

Based on the popular kids show and card game, this action-RPG expands the show's universe with a plot by writers from the TV series.

Monster Rancher DS

New to the DS, this entry in the monster collecting and breeding genre looks to continue the series' style of Poke-inspired games with a twist.

Again

A new sleuth game from the makers of Hotel Dusk with the neat trick of analyzing a crime scene in the present while also seeing the events that transpired there 19 years before during a string of murders.

Electroplankton Beatnes

Nov 9, 2009

In this downloadable DSiWare title in the Electroplankton series, tap the Beatnes to produce sounds very reminiscent of the 8-bit chiptunes produced by the NES. Keep the beat, and the Beatnes will loop the sounds for a short time, allowing you to create some interesting arrangements.

Electroplankton Nanocarp

Nov 9, 2009

This member of the DSiWare Electroplankton family is likely to turn the most people off, since you have to use the DS's microphone exclusively to interact with the Nanocarp. Doesn't sound like something we'd want to bust out on a crowded bus.

Electroplankton Rec-Rec

Nov 9, 2009

Like the other downloadable DSiWare Electroplankton titles, Rec-Rec aims to be a fun (if perhaps shallow) way to create pleasing music and visuals through simple, game-like mechanics.

Electroplankton Hanenbow

Nov 9, 2009

In this Electroplankton title for DSiWare, bounce the Hanenbow off leaves to produce sounds and colors. Fans of Super Smash Bros. may find this particular entry the most appealing because of its resemblance to the Brawl arena, also titled Hanenbow.

Electroplankton Trapy

Nov 9, 2009

Part of a series of downloadable DSiWare Electroplankton titles, Electroplankton Trapy allows players to draw lines for the Trapy to follow, producing music as they travel across the screen.

Hello Kitty Party

Help Hello Kitty and friends - including Keroppi, Badtz-Maru, My Melody and others - plan and throw a super fun party. Players can send out personalized party invitations, design and iron the perfect dress, shop for party fare and more in 25 themed games designed for fans.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

The newest entry in the long-running cult RPG series, this first-person adventure has you battling demons in the Arctic.

Dragonology

Based on a popular book, find and capture dragons through a series of minigames and fact finding missions.

Daniel X: The Ultimate Power

Based on the book series by James Patterson, Daniel X allows players to create objects out of thin air and implement them to overcome obstacles, save friends and prevent the aliens on The List from taking over the world.

Survivor

Based on the same-titled reality TV show, the Survivor game contains activities such as fishing, collecting food and participating in immunity challenges.
