Gameplay is similar to Supermarket Mania 2, in that you are given a goal for the ‘day’ in terms of how much money you need to make, and are told how many types of customers will be coming into your shop. It is the best possible solution without totally redoing the scenes … but very quickly I stopped enjoying the scenes and just panned to the dialogue to get the facts and move on. You use the stylus to pan the rectangle to zoom in on areas which are then displayed in real-time on the top screen.

On the bottom screen there is the full multi-panel comic book scene, with a small rectangle. Whereas the PC version has a full comic book style cutscene in between levels, on the DS you get a sort of browser. My first and only real complaint is with the story – or more specifically the presentation. The goal seems to be to evaluate how she does things to copy her and make her redundant!
She is hired but seemingly set up to fail as she is being watched by Torg and his minions. The game starts off as Nikki is newly hired at a large chain of stores operated by the Torg corporation, run by Torg and his evil robot empire! (No, really!). Also, the game isn’t sold in stores, rather you need to purchase ‘Nintendo Points’ either using a credit card on your DSi or via a points card you can pick up at any store selling gift cards (which is pretty much everywhere now!). The first critical thing to note: this game is DSiWare, meaning that unless you have a DSi you can’t even access the store to buy this. * 3D Art and Comic-Book Style cut scenes between each level

Nikki also has to keep the store clean – she wouldn’t want a lawsuit from a customer who tripped over trash! If Nikki works hard and fast, she’ll earn enough money to upgrade her store and compete with the big supermarket conglomerate in town, the Torg Corporation.
Nikki’s main goal is to keep all the shelves of her store stocked, so customers don’t lose patience and find another food store to shop at. In Supermarket Mania, you’ll have to help Nikki operate a small grocery store satisfying the needs of increasing demanding customers. I noted the basic plot from the original game – but I had never played it! It has been available for a while for the PC & Mac, came to the iPhone in early 2009, was released for the iPad and as a PSP Mini earlier this year, and has now arrived on the Nintendo DSi as part of the DSiWare store! Let’s take a look! I recently reviewed the PC release of Supermarket Mania 2, and found it a ‘casual thrill ride’.
