I'd not heard about this until I read a topic on another forum, but it's an ace collection of Japanese DSiWare games, from Genterprise and Suzak. Good thing is though, it's for a regular DS, in case you don't have a DSi.
Tinycartridge has a decent story on it, along with a full list of games.
You start off with 4 unlocked, with more to buy using points you get from playing the current games well. I bought Assault Buster from the off, and it's an incredibly good little shmup - Space Invaders meets Forgotten Worlds, kinda. Each game has achievements, which when you complete you get mega bonuses to buy more games, or buy fashion items for the mascot girl who introduces the games.
Obviously this might be annoying for those who hate unlocking stuff.
Some of the games (like the racing game) are a bit rubbish, and I've only seen 5/30 of those available, but this seems like good value for money (~£35 shipped, depending on the £/$ rate). It's certainly infinitely better than Retro Game Challenge, which pissed me off by forcibly stopping gameplay when you scored highly. Not having a DSi, this is probably the only way I'd get to play these.
Most of the games haven't actually been released yet on DSiware, which is kinda neato. Taken from tinycartridge:
