No it's not. It's Kirby's Power Paintbrush, I just asked my boyfriend.

the shell's useless? guess it's a matter of opinion as i find it more useful than the fireflower.

sorry, that's probably the reason i thought it was Kirby's Canvas Curse

Hmmm, played mario for a bit last night. So far i've seen huge mario and the shell addon. I can see your point about the shell being useless, you just hide under it and not much else. Huge mario seems naff, you just stomp through the entire level killing anything... its a quick way to finish a level I suppose.

I may look up the older mario's as the last one I remember actually playing was probably the first one

Also had a go of the trauma surgeon game. That seems pretty good, with good use of the touch screen for performing all of the operations.

if you run for a bit, he hides in the shell - a really easy way to knock out a load of enemies at once, and nothing can damage you when you're hiding in the shell.

I bought Yoshi's Island and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance a couple of weeks ago. Yoshi's Island has gone untouched but I can't stop playing FFT:A

I am a bit of an RPG nut though.

I just dug out and charged my DS so that I can take it to France with me.

The only game I really got into was Mario DS but I was well and truely put in my place when my 7 year old nephew got a copy about 3 months after me and finished it (collecting all 150 stars) before I'd even reached 100. Little sod.

Aha! I was thinking that he must be able to do that, he wouldn't do it for me though. <- DS n00b

last i checked, that box was on my pile of DS games. surely, regardless of whether it's a UK or a US game, if you owned it, you'd automatically assume that the name printed on your game box was the name the game went by? it's not every game that gets renamed dependant on where it was released.

DS is quality. I've never been much of a gamer but now spend far too much time playing Mario Kart. The other games are good, but I really like the online aspect of it. Will get Metroid or Tetris next I think. Can't wait for the Wii either, it looks top banana.
