Upcoming release for the Nintendo DS, allowing you to play your DS like a guitar. It’ll be interesting to see how much it appeals to a music-geek like me who’s never played a guitar in his life.
Arkanoid for the DS will be packaged with a paddle controller so you can play the game as it was always intended. This makes me colossally happy.
Rilly rilly simple DS flash cart. Plug into USB, copy over roms + MP3s, then plug into your DS. “Only” $125.
Attention DS-owning chums-of-mine: My Clubhouse Games friend code is 3866-2922-6013. Let me know yours’, and let’s get some virtual Texas Hold’em action going!
Cunning! Using the controls, dual displays, built-in wifi and touch-sensitive screen of the Nintendo DS to control video-mixing software. Watch the video to get an idea of how it works.
There’s a proper 2D Sonic game for the DS?! Why was I not alerted to this sooner? I love me some spiny blue action.
Icons you can copy to spruce up your Mario Kart. Of course, you still require a modicum of artistic talent to copy these to your DS.
Combined with the Passkey3, allows you to view movies, play MP3s, and enjoy homebrew and *cough* backup games on your DS.
Now that I’ve “completed” New Super Mario Bros, I need a walkthrough to get me to the two hidden worlds that I skipped.
Take your DS along to a suitably set-up store and wirelessly download free game demos. What an obvious, yet brilliant, way to drive traffic to bricks’n’mortar game retailers.
Nice. I’ve been tempted by the DS for a while, so I think I’ll pick one of these up when they’re released over here.
