Nintendo Download: This Week’s Downloadable Lineup Truly Sparkles
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
Why just take photos with your Nintendo DSi™ system when you can have access to a virtual photo booth? Sparkle Snapshots™, a new Nintendo DSiWare™ application, lets you customize pictures with fun extras like fancy frames and stamps. On the other hand, if you’re more of a fan of Nordic pillaging and/or dragons, you’re going to want to check out this week’s Nintendo DSiWare offerings of both Viking Invasion and Battle of Giants: Dragons – Bronze Edition.
Three fun WiiWare™ games are added to the ever-growing library, including Carnival King, which turns your TV into a carnival midway. And the Virtual Console™ delivers its usual quality classics, including Fighting Street®, a port of the original arcade version of STREET FIGHTER.

New Okamiden footage
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
This footage is from a presentation at TGS, but I believe these are new nonetheless. Also, the last video pretty much confirms that there will be “gibberish voices” in the game in addition to the return of the Descent of the Great Goddess song (we heard it in one of the trailers, but I wasn’t sure if that was “filler” music put in just for the video.) That makes me pretty happy!
