Well with the EGM review, I assume Shane was one of the reviewers, and theres a detailed discussion of the game with him and another of the 1up crew on the 1up show episode 53. Definitely worth a look if you want more perspective beyond the bare bones egm content.

Its a Nintendo published game so it should be easy to find, but even Wario Ware Touch eventually started getting pretty rare.

Damn, that's a great price! I'm going to need to check my local Wal-Mart.

What's up with the Gears of War price though? I thought it was a $59.99 game not $70!?

It's most likely the Collector's Edition which is an additional $10.

Target's offering a $10 gift card when you get Gears of War this week.


Anyway, I just picked up Trauma Center at Best Buy on Friday and I am loving it! I'm definitely gonna have to check out the sequel on Wii when it's released. I really wanna get Phoenix Wright and Children of Mana, among others. Man, I love the DS...

Trauma Center on the Wii isn't so much a sequel as it is a remake. It's basically a port of the DS game with some additional levels and new characters.

From what I heard, it's part remake and part sequel.

It's also supposed to have varying difficulty levels meaning it may actually be possible to complete! I never did finish the DS version, I think I got to the 2nd or 3rd Sin.

Trauma Center was the biggest surprise for me, who knew such a technically simple concept could be so much fun.

I made it to episode 5, but never finished the game. It crossed the line between being difficult and being cheap and I never bothered going back to play it again.

For now. I"d be shocked if some kind of DS Players' Choice lineup doesn't appear in the future, with Wario Ware Touched as a part of it.

If the price of used copies Touched keeps going up, I'll have to sell it. I'd already just about double what I paid for it, since I bought it used before it became "rare".

I don't remember which episode it was, but I got to the point where you had to do a ton of surgeries in a row within five minutes, and I just can't get past it.

Ah, THAT one.. I think it said you had to do five but it stops about halfway through.

I'm surprised they're just doing a GBA port of FF6, instead of a full-on remake on the DS.

Wow, GameSpot gave Yoshi's Island DS a 9.1! I'm picking up this and FFIII tomorrow. With these 2 games, the PS3 and Wii coming out I'm going to be broke by Sunday.

The GBA remakes of V and VI were just about finished by the time the DS remake of III came out and sold a million copies.. so it probably too late to pull the plug. Plus, I'd rather have it this way anyway.. no sense ruining such beautiful 2D graphics with poopie 3D.

You actually only have to get to the third patient by the time the clock runs down. As long as that patient makes it, you'll pass the level. Just passed it. At first I was like, five in ten minutes! Freakin' A!

DS "Guitar Hero"-esque game. With strumming!

No word on a capo accessory.

I agree, but I'm just being selfish, as I still have my SNES copy, and the PSX port - so this will be the 3rd version I get.

Me too, but I'd rather it have been on the DS and in 2D so it could fill the whole screen, and use the second screen for map/inventory.

Plus I hate playing GBA games on the DS lite as the cart sticking out annoys me when playing sometimes.

I was really looking forward to it, but the EGM review still has me worried, especially the "dead zone" issue which is pretty inexcusable on any platformer, especially a Nintendo one.
