Saw this on the shelf today for just $20. Most of these Taito Square-Enix releases have been pretty good. Anyone get a chance to play it, and if so, how is it? I''m most interested to see how the wi-fi is.

At its heart, it's just Puzzle Bobble/Bust-a-Move, so I suppose how much you like it is based on how much you like that style of gameplay. There are a few cute extras, like being able to buy different bubble designs in a store with coins unlocked from various actions in the game.

Where it really shines, though, is if you have Taito's Paddle Controller (sadly Japan-exclusive; makes Space Invaders Extreme even more awesome and Arkanoid DS a little less boring; you can find them on eBay or Play-Asia sometimes), which gives the game much more of a mini-arcade feel.

I picked up a copy of this and I think it is one of the best games in the series. Single card multiplayer for up to four players and great online play round out this outstanding game.

I was so impressed with this game that I picked up a second copy for my wife so that we can have our own online records. (You get points/lose points when you play online depending on if you win or lose)

For $20 this is one of the best values out there for the DS. Oh..and boss battles are great as well.

Sold! I love playing SIE and Arkanoid with the paddle. DSi owners be damned!

I'll look for it this weekend.

Yes, the $20 price point for this game is an excellent value. Four players, single cart down load play, online and a very good single player mode.
