So there's no better time than to stock up on the must-haves, ready for the new device. With that in mind, here's five (but by no means all) DSiWare games you really should have.

Review: Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus HD (iPad)
A first person shooter. On a touch screen-controlled device. Who would've thought that to be a good idea? Well, apparently Gameloft did, and the surprising thing is that it actually works.

Eight years on: Magic the Gathering Online
Written By Matt Sainsbury on Wednesday, January 12, 2011 | 21:49
Magic the Gathering saw the first release of its online portal way back in 2002. Eight years later, two new versions of the portal and a huge number of new cards introduced today, and Magic the Gathering Online still accounts for a significant chunk of Wizards of the Coast's revenue. But after all these years, does the game still stand up, and do people still use it?
Thought: 3DS region locking locking Nintendo out of online competitiveness?
It appears that the 3DS will be region locked. This in itself is probably not too surprising, given Nintendo’s history, but given the 3DS will be involved in a tight battle for the growing online market, I fear it was a poor decision.

Review: Alien Breed 2: Assault (PSN)
Written By Matt Sainsbury on Sunday, January 9, 2011 | 20:14
Alien Breed: Impact was a good game (read our review here). Capturing the moody atmosphere of James Cameron's Aliens, it was a high-action top-down dual stick shooter. At it must have been a commercial success, because now we have a sequel.
