    Tecmo Koei Europe have confirmed they are bringing their DSiWare range "A Topsy Turvy Life" to the West. The range of games will bring a fresh perspective to many genre's by simply using the Touch Screen at the top, instead of the bottom as you would usually use the Nintendo DSi.  
     
    Tecmo will launch the first two titles in its A Topsy Turvy Life range this Spring:  
     
    A Topsy Turvy Life: The Turvys Strikes Back  

    Conquer the Galaxy...standing on your head. The evil Earth men are trying to save their pathetic planet from conquer. Turn your Nintendo DSi upside-down and send in waves of Imperial Armada forces to wipe out the human hero. Nothing is as it seems in this galaxy. It is scrolling shooting as you have never experienced before; from the other side of the battle!  
     
     
      
       
     
     
    A Topsy Turvy Life: Turvy Drops  

    A block-filling game with the difference; you control which blocks appear. Turn your Nintendo DSi upside-down, and draw blocks as quick as you can to fill the gaps below. See a gap, draw the shape you think fits its best. A steady hand, an eye for detail, and a Nintendo DSi in reverse are all that stand in your way. Featuring an additional Puzzle Mode with thirty mind-bending puzzles, Turvy Drops is guaranteed to turn your brain topsy-turvy.

    Is there any real point to turning the system upside down, or this just a gimmick?   Any idea if the games are any good LS?

    I have no answer to both queries I'm afraid, but I will look into it. A couple of western based reviewers on Youtube may provide some answers.  
     
    I could ask a member here also, he's just become a Tecmo Koei Europe representative.

    You have to draw on the top screen, so you sort of  have to flip it over. Unless you want things falling up. And that would freak me out. 
     
    As for the second game, idk. lol
