KDV Games announces a new Adventure\Puzzle game for Nintendo DS platform – “CandyGeist”.

About the game
All alone on a candy factory! Not a single adult in sight! That’s every kid’s dream, isn’t? Unless, of course, you’re scared of ghosts… Well, we’ve got news for you! The local candy factory is haunted! Some spooky ghosts have taken over and turned every last piece of candy into… well, into something spooky and ghostly and weird!

Don’t forget – tonight is the night before Halloween. And without candy there will be no trick-or-treating this year! So it’s up to you to save the factory and the holiday. Examine the haunted factory, defeat the supernatural enemies and solve the mystery of possessed candy!


…And it will cost more!

“Nintendo today confirms that a new Nintendo DSi XL console is launching in Europe in the first
quarter of 2010. The retail price of the Nintendo DSi XL is expected to be higher than that of the Nintendo DSi. Further details will be released soon.” – Nintendo statement

I don’t see myself purchasing the DSi LL/XL. I’ve already invested in the original DS, DS Lite, and first iteration of the DSi. And since the XL doesn’t really offer anything new, it doesn’t seem worthwhile to me.
