DSiWare, as an overall service, hasn't had an extraordinary debut this year -- but it's games like this that prove its potential. If you're at all a fan of chess, or Dragon Quest, or strategy gaming at all, spend the priced-right amount of five bucks and grab this new virtual board game. It's chess with slimes, and it'll keep your attention in check for a long time to come.

Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Last week we took a look at ten games that, while great in their own right kind of represented what most people think of when they think of DSiWare; small games that offer fun, but limited experiences. And while that's definitely a defining feature of DSiWare games the service was also home to some surprisingly deep experiences that you can take on the go. And that's really what defines the best games for the service, games that went above and beyond what people expected from it."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Nintendo recently announced a June 6 launch date for the long awaited 3DS eShop, the virtual store that'll let users download a variety of games from multiple platforms.
It's a niche title and not one for the mass-market by any means, but this is a cleverly designed package and with full online multiplayer included there are hours of strategic fun to be had here.
Excellent review and I can't wait for this to release in the EU. It might even come this week!
Nice I didn't even know it was coming out soon over here. Good score and yes I like DQ and strategy games ^^
