Electroplankton goes DSiWare
It seems that Electroplankton, one of the first Nintendo DS titles, are heading for DSiWare.
Nintendo of Japan has revealed that it is planning to re-release Electroplankton for Nintendo DS through DSiWare. Starting next week, Japanese DSi-owners will be able to download a plankton for a mere 200 Nintendo Points. The official Japanese minisite shows the various plankton and their interface.
The first set to be released includes Trapy, Hanebow, Nano-carp, and Beatnes, released on July 8, July 22 will see the release of Rec-Rec and Lumiloop and in August Luminarian, Sun Animalcule, Volvoice, Marine Snow will be released in the vast blue ocean of DSiWare.

I loved this game.
I saw this news piece this morning. In some ways seperating them is a bit gay. I remember in Electroplankton a few of them had some cool effects but others where boring. Though the whole collection once it goes to DSiWare is about $10 so thats all well and good?
I didn't have the game but I got to play it through a friend and some of it was great. The one that let you mess about with the NES sounds was brilliant. If I had a DSi, I'd definitely download these but I don't really want to pay for one at this moment in time.
The one with the tetris sounds? I don't remember there been one with nes sounds. But the one with the werid shapes had sounds from the DS tetris. That one was somewhat cool. The one I hated the most was the voice one.
$10? It's $2 per plankton as I understand it, which means $20 for the lot.
Why not WiiWare? Why? I love WiiWare games.
Because you'd need the WiiSpeak for some of the plankton? Speaking of which, any of you got a WiiSpeak? Got one about half a year ago but never got to try it out as no-one around me has a WiiSpeak... :/
I have it. Used it on Animal Crossing but think mine was broken because whenever I went online and had people in my town, the light wouldn't come on on the WiiSpeak peripheral unless I messed about with the cables. I'm really not having much luck with Ninty's newer peripherals as I also had problems with MotionPlus as well.
I am waiting for Red Steel 2 for Motion Plus, since it does not improve current games. And I really don't need Speak, I have all my buddies in the same room while playing DDR and Smash Bros anyway.
MotionPlus does improve current games. It vastly improved both Virtua Tennis 2009 and Grand Slam Tennis allowing for a greater depth of shots to be pulled off and Tiger Woods is sounding the same.
hmmm... if you wanna give it a try some time Chris, let me know.
