The regular updating of the European DSi Shop can finally be said to be underway with the release of Gameloft's Real Football 2009, which follows on from last week's multiplayer-only Mixed Messages from Activision.
PALGN writes: "So, you have a DSi. You've taken a few photos, stretched a few faces, and remixed a few sound files, but did you know you also have access to downloadable games? One of the selling points of the DSi is access to the online DSiWare Store, which since launch has accumulated ten games at various price points. Some of the games may seem familiar, others may seem completely new, and others seem to be there just to show off your shiny (or rather, matte) new DSi's features. To help you sort through the swathe of downloadable content, we've gathered up all of the currently available titles and given you our verdict on whether they're worth picking up or not.
To give some perspective to the prices, which are listed in points, at the time of writing 1000 Nintendo DSi Points were equal to AUD $15."
NintendoLife writes: "As the first Premium title available on DSiWare, there's a certain amount of expectation surrounding Gameloft's Real Football 2009. Do you get enough game for your 800 Points?"
It seems almost fitting that the first premium game download for the DSi in Europe should come from Gameloft, a company that are no strangers to the world of digital distribution and portable games. Their Real Football franchise has long given FIFA and Pro Evo a run for their money in the mobile world, and now this second DS-based iteration sees them trying to take over the hand-held world too.
