It does seem to have gotten somewhat hard to find and the Ebay prices jumped up a good bit the past couple of months.
It's a good game, I'd reccomend picking up WarioWare Twisted for the GBA if you can't find it. It's probably my favorite of the 3 games anyway. A bit more challenging than the other 2.

Broken, help.
Does anyone know how to get a broken screen (top one) fixed on a DS Lite, I have a black mark across the top screen lines of distortion. Any help would be appriciated.

Most DS games get sold out, so if you see something you like you better get it now or else risk it become very hard to find (happend with Castlevania DoS, Phoenix Write, Trauma Center, all excellent and must have DS games). I haven't seen Wario Ware in quite awhile, so I'd assume its OOP, especially considering how close to launch it was released, you might want to check online also.

Thinking about getting Age of Empires, which looks like it's dropped in price to 20 bucks. I've heard it has some bugs, but it's overall pretty good, right?
I know it's not a DS game, but besides Slime Knight, most of my portable time has been taken up by Super Robot Taisen... I'm such a sucker for that series, and to have it in English is a dream come true. I'm wondering if I should preorder the sequel, since I had a really tough time finding the first one...

I just picked up Clubhouse Games with a credit I had at Gamestop. What a great game really - one of the most ideally suited games for a handheld system. You can pick it up, play a quick card game, and finish in about 5 minutes. I think I'm about halfway through the stamp mode. I suck at some of the games, but I like that even if you lose you get a stamp.
On another note, does anyone else have trouble making out the tiles in Mahjong? Even on the brightest setting with my DS Lite I have trouble making out the tiny characters.

42 games are available in Clubhouse Games, most of them playable right from the start. You've got simple games like Memory and Old Maid, to classic can't-miss games like Checkers and Chess, to generically redesigned classics of Battleship, Stratego, and Trouble. There are action games like Bowling and Darts, as well as some oddly addictive teeter-totter balancing game that gives the package its own rendition of Jenga or Kerplunk.

I finished the Stamp mode on easy. In the process, I learned a bit about some games I'd never played, and I muddled through a few that I had nary a clue what was going on.
Awesome game.
Awesome game.

I just ordered the Castlevania set at ebgames.com, but when I check my order the box set comes up as back-ordered. Is everyone's like this? I dotn want it without the set.
Also the ebgames has Phoenix Wright and Trauma center in stock if anyones interested.
