Summary
[DSiWare] As the '80s were drawing to a close, the developers at Capcom began work on a top-secret project that aimed to set new standards for the platformer genre. That game was called Dark Void. Alas, Capcom suspended development on Dark Void as it began to evaluate the SNES. Before long, the game was shelved and drifted, unnoticed, into the annals of gaming history. Dark Void became a legendary "lost project" at Capcom. Now, nearly 20 years later, Dark Void is back! To commemorate the game's humble origins, Capcom has commissioned this recreation of the original 8-bit classic, now re-titled Dark Void Zero, on the Nintendo DSi system. You play as Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth. With the aid of Nikola Tesla and his state-of-the-art rocket pack, Rusty must take down the Watchers and their minions across three intense levels of action and intrigue. [Nintendo]

DV Zero surprised me with its well-laid-out, retro-style platforming -- so much so that my daily commutes flew by as I kept my nose in the screen. I would love to see a follow-up, but as this was basically a promotional tie-in, there's little chance of that happening.

Sure the game might be a bit on the short side, but given the game's addictive gameplay and fairly high degree of difficulty, it's difficult to complain, especially considering the game will only set you back 500 Nintendo Points.

It succeeds in virtually every aspect of its execution, and if you own a DSi this fantastic piece of software is an absolute must-own.
Read Full Review >GamerNode
This game is absolutely worth playing if you enjoy action platformers from the early days of the medium.

Dark Void Zero would have been considered a "classic" had it been made 25 years ago, and today, it's a retro-style blast.
Read Full Review >Teletext GameCentral
Forget the original home console title, this charming 8-bit throwback is by far the superior game.
Read Full Review >Everyeye.it
Being a Metroid clone, Dark Void Zero is quite perfect for the digital delivery and is seriously recommended for those who haven't forget the thrill of the 80's arcade.
Read Full Review >Vandal Online
A remarkable action-adventure game at a very reasonable price, which nostalgic players will love.
Read Full Review >Meristation
The classic action-genre from the 8bits generation's still alive and well. Dark Void Zero's here not only to use the name of the new Capcom's franchise, but also to represent one of the most interesting games that we've tried so far on the DSiWare channel. Pure action, fun and retro-style. A nice pick if you're looking for some fun.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
What's there is fun and feels well designed, but with only three levels it is over far too quickly.

David K gave it a9:
A well implemented downloadable prequel, even superior to the original HD release. The 8-bit style is really appealing and it will also appeal to Mega Man fans and overal retro fans. Definetaly one of the best DSiWare exclusives untill now. 9/10
