IxisNaugus' mini-reviews:
Dr. Mario is really fun, there isn't much of an overall... point to it, but it's just a fun puzzler to play from time to time, i find it better with friends in multiplayer, and the people online are really tough too.
NyxQuest is just great. Quite addictive once you get into it. You've probably heard that it's quite short and easy, which is relatively true, but it's really fun to play. There are also hidden relics to collect which gives a fair bit of replay value. I've only played a couple hours of it and haven't completed it yet though. Still, it is very enjoyable and i must recommend it to anyone looking to give it a try. I find it's calm atmosphere really engrossing and it's quite hard to put down once you get in to it.
I haven't played much of Lostwinds (or a lot of my games) because i've been too busy with others, but it's a pretty similar situation to NyxQuest. The music and graphics are really nice and the controls are fun to work with. Like NyxQuest you've probably heard around that it's really short and easy which i'd also have to agree with. If anybody claims this to be among the top Wiiware games around, they're right, it's really fun to play.
Mega Man 9 is just amazing. It's classic mega man at its finest. I must stress though that it is very very hard, so i really cant say this is for anyone who isn't looking for a tough game to deal with. Otherwise any mega man or side scrolling shooter fan should just pick this up. It has tons of replay value to in the form of achievements, time trials and some downloadable content. I've gotta say though, this is probably my favorite Wiiware game so far, but that's probably because i'm a fan of the numbered mega man games.
My Pokemon Ranch is... well, it's really just a storage solution for your Diamond, Pearl and Platinum games on the DS. If you don't have any of those games, then you're probably just wasting your time getting this. I'm a die hard Pokemon fan though so i put this to good use.
I wish i could've given a better insight on NyxQuest and Lostwinds but i've only played a couple hours of both
