In this episode of MDYSKISFYHYTVSFTYMQGYW we discuss a new phenomenon: making your own game. It's so outdated to play games that others have made, that you do not want more? You gonna do not spend precious time playing other people's create spreads? The Do-it-yourselfer continues its alpha-, beta-and Gamma-knowledge in order to make his own entertainment."
NowGamer: A handful of games for the price of one, you say? Bargain.
If you’ve walked into a game shop more than once in the last few weeks, the likelihood is you’ll have felt a little déjà vu on your later visits. Outside of Starcraft II for all you PC types, it’s been a barren few weeks in the land of retail. But cast your eye over the various download services out there and you’ll find a world of undiscovered fun waiting for you and while it might not quite have the clout of PSN or Xbox Live Arcade, WiiWare is no exception. Here’s our rundown of what you can get for the price of a normal retail release… and this little lot will last you far, far longer than most of those ever could...
I'm really annoyed Cave Story still hasn't been released. Perhaps they're patching that sound issue.

We’ve had buttons, a touchscreen, motion controls (on both the Wii and the Game Boy) and even camera input. But this time around, Nintendo hasn’t given us a new way to play these microgames - they’ve given you the tools to create them yourself. Everything from the art to the music and more can all be made by you. WarioWare D.I.Y. is, without a doubt, Mario Paint on acid. "
WarioWare D.I.Y., like other games in the “creation” genre, is conflicting. It’s hard to evaluate titles like this purely as games, because they’re so much more than that. But at the same time, why do we choose this particular hobby? To play games. At what point did playing games actually include the creation of those games?
