One of the first applications Nintendo showed for the DSi is the Moving Memo Pad (otherwise known as Ugoku Memo-chou in Japan). Most interestingly, those who download the application will have the ability to upload their own projects. Nintendo and Japanese website Hatena will allow for users to share pictures and animations for the entire world to view. Japanese DSi owners will be able to download the software for free on the 24th.

Just in time for the holidays, Capcom has announced that Neopets Puzzle Adventure is now shipping to retail for the Nintendo Wii™.This popular title rated E for Everyone is now available on the Nintendo Wii and DS, as well as the PC.
Neopets Puzzle Adventure from Capcom is an easy to play, but hard to master single and multiplayer puzzle game (think Reversi, a token-based board game) coming to the Nintendo Wii and DS and the PC. Created for fans and casual gamers alike, Neopets Puzzle Adventure lets players create and develop one of 12 Neopets characters by completing quests, playing mini-games, and battling others. Players embark on an epic story and travel through three Lands of Neopia with more than 150 quests, while collecting “PetPets” for special abilities.
Call of Duty flops on Nintendo platforms
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 17 Comments
Call of Duty: World at War performed fairly well in terms of critical reviews on both the Wii and DS, yet both versions have pretty much sold a dismal amount compared to the 360 and PS3. The 360 version of the game has sold 1.41 units while the PS3 sold roughly 600,000 copies. Disappointingly, only 200,000 units of the game were sold between the Wii and DS. This is slightly surprising since, after all, Activision has been supporting the Wii version in terms of advertising. Commercials of the game seem to appear on television regularly. And let’s not forget that the game has received positive reviews. So the only question is, why haven’t people bought the game?
