GV: "When a copy of 101-in-1 Explosive Megamix landed in Gamervision HQ, I didn't even know what it was. It wasn't even close to being on my radar, despite being published by Atlus in North America. As I soon found out, the title says it all: 101 minigames on one DS cartridge for the budget price of $20. I thought that it sounded like a great value, and that even if some of the games weren't so great, there had to be enough good content to warrant the price. However, even though a handful of the Megamix games are entertaining, too many of them have sloppy controls or a low fun factor, leaving me a little underwhelmed."
Nintendo Life - One hundred and one games. It's a tempting proposition isn't it? It's unlikely that as an average consumer you will play, let alone purchase, one hundred and one games in a whole year, so when Nordcurrent comes a-knockin' at your door and offers you exactly that many titles for the low, low price of 700 Points, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a Billy Bargain.
Atlus, a publisher known for its role-playing games-a genre not easily embraced by beginners has taken a stab or two at handheld puzzle games and do so again with their latest offering called 101 in 1: Explosive Megamix for the Nintendo DS.
WTP writes: "Beyond those initial games, you'll encounter even more distinct game types, like ones in which you guide a skydiver through hoops, brush a large set of teeth, fire arrows at a target, play sudoku, and avoid missiles in a spaceship. Each game can be played individually on a single Nintendo DS, and if you have a friend with a DS system and a copy of the game, you can play against each other via a local wireless connection. Though most of the games are easily learned via trial-and-error, you can read a text description of each from the menu screen, including details on how to play the game".
