Default "Clocktastic" Ideas

Since these clock apps are continuing despite the fact we hate em, what other ideas/franchises should be clock apps?

My Ideas

Retro Megaman Clock
Pokeball Clock
Phoenix Wright OBJECTION Clock
Warioware screensaver Clock (Showing minigame clips perhaps)

A very plain, uninspired looking clock with this image spinning around slowly in the background:

A timer that counts down until the release of the next clock?

Then disables itself, so you have to download the next clock to count down till the release of the clock after that.

And that clock would count down till the release of an actual true blue DS successor.

So, despite bashing the DSi clock apps,
what's the difference in features (if there are any) between the AC clock and the new one?
If I ever want a clock on my future DSi, which one is better?

if these apps at least had a little mini game or something... but hehhe yeah.

The DSi has an internal clock right from the beginning just like the DS/lite I presume so that makes these 200 points downloads a waste?!

Well, it's kind of like a way to charge money for simple customization options, like changing the desktop/wallpaper on your computer screen. I can see someone spending 200 points if they're a really diehard fan of the particular theme being sold and they want to customize their DSi display to their liking. But yeah...

GameCube clock
...it'd look like the option menu of the GameCube where you could enter the time and date.
Rehashing and overpricing could perfectly go hand in hand.
