“All for one and one for all” is an apt way to describe the latest lineup of downloadable games from the Wii™ Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi™ Shop. Each of this week’s new titles is a single-player affair, but they’re all quite different in genre and style, offering something special for a variety of gaming tastes.

Amazon says white DSi coming to North America on September 13

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment

One of our readers has done a bit of detective work. While looking on Amazon’s U.S. webpage, he tracked down the white DSi using the ASIN code from the UK site. The actual page still isn’t up, but doing a search shows that the white DSi scheduled to launch on September 13th in North America. This falls in line with some previous dates that we’ve heard about and presumably, the pink DSi would also release on the same day. We should be hearing an announcement from Nintendo in the near future.

Thanks to Jeffrey C for the news tip!

Ever wanted to get inside Bowser’s character? Now’s your chance (Europe)

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments

27 August 2009 – Mario and Luigi reunite for a role-playing adventure like nothing you’ve seen before. In Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, coming to Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi across Europe on 9 October 2009, everyone’s favourite two brothers are not just exploring the pipes of a new world so much as the pipes of their biggest foe: Bowser himself!
That’s right – for the first time, you won’t just be dealing with Bowser’s fiery breath, you’ll be exploring his fiery innards! At the start of the game, Bowser inhales Mario and Luigi, which leads to the duo exploring organic environments inside the grumpy monster, such as his stomach, arms and legs. In another exciting first, you can control either Bowser on the top screen or Mario and Luigi on the Touch Screen, but can always switch between them.
