Two new Nintendo DS games let players explore their inner Pokemon
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 4 Comments
REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 26, 2008/PRNewswire—Ever wondered what it would be like to become a Pokémon? With the April 20 launch of Pokémon® Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokémon® Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness for Nintendo DS™, hand-held gamers will soon find out.
In this pair of action-packed adventures, players journey as actual Pokémon through a fantastic land untouched by humans. Before the game starts, players take a test to help them figure out which of 16 Pokémon best represents their personalities. Players then experience their adventure through the eyes of a Pokémon as they explore the land and embark on an epic journey through time and darkness. They talk and team up with other Pokémon to set out on an epic voyage while navigating an endless array of randomly generated dungeons.
More than 490 Pokémon populate these new games, guaranteeing strategic, intense battles and infinite possibilities, no matter which Pokémon players become. To widen their circle of Pokémon friends, Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection lets users engage in wireless rescue operations and send alerts to their friends via e-mail or mobile text message.

Sakurai on voice chat in Brawl, Smash DS, and more
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 3 Comments
Mr. Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, recently sat down to conduct an interview. One of the things mentioned was that Sakurai had hoped for voice chat, and possibly even text chat with a keyboard to be included, but certain “rules” restricted him for allowing the opportunity to fall through, and the feature was eventually canned.
Sakurai also pointed out that, although he would be interested in creating a Smash game for the DS, there are no plans for him personally to create a game. He was quick to point out that all future proceedings would be left up to Nintendo to plan out.
– Takahashi is producing the game
– Game was originally going to be action-based
– There will be over 300 different weapons in the game, and you won’t be able to get them all or even see them all in a single playthrough
– Tons of customization and freedom
– Higher difficulty levels available after you complete the game
