Forums - Nintendo - What are the good and bad DSiWare/WiiWare/Virtual Console games?

I'm updating the DSiWare thread, and I need opinions! So please, tell me which DSiWare titles you would recommend to others, and which ones you wouldn't. If there are any WiiWare and/or Virtual Console titles that you'd like to recommend for or against, I'm all ears as well. Thanks!

I'd like to know about DSiWare, I think the game library is not strong yet to purchase a DSi but maybe I'm wrong?

About WiiWare and VC? There are a lot of games I recommend so will only mention a few:

Wiiware:
Gradius Rebirth
Bonsai Barber
Art Style Orbient

VC:
Ninja Gaiden
Megaman 3
Super Punch Out!



Castlevania Judgment FC:     1161 - 3389 - 1512

3DS Friend Code:   3480-2746-6289


Wii Friend Code: 4268-9719-1932-3069

I don't know if it's the fact that I have shopped intelligently (probably not,) or if I just have gotten extremely lucky, but I would recommend every game I've bought on all three services. I'll give you a top three for each just for prosperity, though.

DSiWare:
Mighty Flip Champs
PictoBits
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again

WiiWare:
World of Goo
Swords & Soldiers
Tetris Party



I must recommend Wrecking Crew for Virtual Console. There's an addicting puzzle game.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

dont play frat party games... ugh just go out and play beer pong please

Lords of Thunder
Air Zonk
Tower Toppler

worst ones i bought were family table tennis and fantasy zone (not as good as i remember)



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.
