Nintendo Life writes: "Digital Leisure attempted to jump on the Sudoku DSiWare bandwagon a while back, failing miserably in the process. Now they've taken another crack at the service with something different: Word Searcher, a game featuring 100 different word-search puzzles to sink your vocabulary into. Granted, Word Searcher as WiiWare wasn't that great, but for those of us who passed up the original, how does this game fare now that it's on a handheld console?"
With so many DSiWare games hitting the DSi Shop -- and with DSi owners having the ability to easily and immediately download the games for themselves -- IGN will be approaching these titles a bit differently than the usual software review structure. DSiWare is released on a weekly basis, and they'll be covering each and every title in shorter, more concise reviews.
The Nintendo DSi is quickly becoming a platform of its own. The system, released in April 2009, isn't much more than upgraded Nintendo DS technology, but its built-in cameras and its incorporated data storage give developers more to work with. And the DSi Shop can be a virtual sandbox for game creators to incorporate the DSi capabilities into downloadable titles. Or it's just an easy way to get simple DS ideas into gamers' hands without going the much more expensive retail route.
