Great news for DS gamers today. Nintendo has released a DS download station. You know, the kind that let’s you download a game demo free and playable so long as you leave your DS powered on (expect sleep mode use to greatly increase). From the article: “Though they weren’t due until next month, an avid Flickr user has discovered that the Nintendo DS download stations are already ...

Super Princess Peach hits the DS this week in platforming style. Here’s the cute teeny-bobber commercial that’s hitting the airwaves this week.

Konami’s upcoming DS game “MarHeaven Märchen Awakens Romance: Caldea’s Evil Demon” is based off of an Anime that features a character who looks strikingly similar to a popular Squaresoft character from the game “Final Fantasy VII.” All illustration bashing aside, the game is being touted as a Ärm Touch RPG, which is explained by a Japanese Nintendo site as an ...

And XBox and PS2. But that’s not why we’re here. This is actually the first Sonic game to come around in a while that I’m actually excited about. Not only did the game get some sort of gold award in Japan’s Famitsu magazine, but it also has a fancy anime intro made by the illustrious production I.G. Plus Sonic Riders appears to be one of those special games that ditches eve...

So DS Advanced has posted a patent they found on the US Patent & Trademark Office’s webpage of a touch-screen input technology that Nintendo made in July of 2004 and filed for a year later. It’s difficult to say weather or not the patent is for something coming out in the future, like a 3rd DS redesign, or if these schematics are some old plan, eclipsed by the DS Lite. The patent m...

If you’re patiently waiting for March 2nd to get a (Japanese) DS Lite – or import one – i hope you like Crystal White. Due to manufacturing problems, the Enamel Navy and Ice Blue colored systems have been delayed to the 11th. Not so huge a delay, but if you’ve been holding your breath for one of those 2 colors, it might be a good idea to take a quick gasp for air. Thanks Jo...

Although it wasn’t the best Mario game, the Super Mario Bros 2 soundtrack was probably my favorite. Granted, the first game has that definitive sound, but the second one is just so darn catchy. Love that hook. So what’s your favorite Super Mario Bros. soundtrack? Gypsy jazz Super Mario Bros. 2 (right click to save) Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 2:26 — 2.2MB)Su...

Little Link sure has come along way. Will we ever see him in his current state? After the second Twilight Princess delay, feels like it will be forever.

Our anonymous tipster from earlier – we’ll call him “Discreet” – has sent us another email a few minutes ago. Now he says: “I would just like to say that at E3 2006, they will 100% no doubt be revealing a virtual reality gadget that functions with the revolution. The source I got this from also states that Nintendo has been working with E-D in the past and with ...

Remember in the mid-ninties when the Final Fantasy franchise jumped the Nintendo boat and we all thought the company was doomed? Well it seems that with the popularity of the DS in Japan, Nintendo is grabbing some Sony friendly franchises over to it’s side. Here are two big ones, From Software’s Tenchu DS: Dark Shadow and Namco’s Xenosaga I&II. Namco’s Xenosaga site fea...

We’ve received an anonymous tip from a person who claims to have the Revolution model prototype. Not the dev kits we have been discussing this week, but the casing shown in all the pictures. He or she says it was very light because it lacks any components inside, but the blue light worked. He/she goes on to say: “What I really wanted to know is what was underneath the front panel, but ...
