  I didn’t even know there was a DSi version of it.

  I never had a DSi, but I checked its catalog a bit later on 3DS, lots of shovelware in there if you didn’t know what to look for. I basically just got a few wayforward games and the exclusive X sequel.

    Yea, the gems were buried really deep. Had a DSi and only got points worth 15€ back than and wasted most of it on shovel ware :/ My younger self just did not know whats good. I did however got Photo Dojo and WarioWare: Snapped! which are small but fun in the end I spent most of the time on Flipnote Studio (Free) anyways :). I am now revisiting the ones Ive missed. Did you know that the SteamWorld Series hat its debut on the DSi eShop!?!? I was really surprised by that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SteamWorld_Tower_Defense

      Wow, I actually didn’t. I thought Dig with the first one, had it on 3DS.

      As I said the only “hidden gem” I know that stayed exclusive to DSi was X-Scape, known as X Returns in Japan and the very generic “3D Space Tank” in Europe (I almost thought it was not released in Europe, it was a surprise finding it under that name).

      It’s a sequel to X (a.k.a let’s do a freaking 3D game on the original gameboy), also made by Dylan Cuthbert, who was also one of the main devs on Star Fox. It has that cool retro polygonal 3D style, but with good framerate (that was not really a thing for these games on the gameboy or SNES).
