On Saturday, while it was the five year anniversary of the Nintendo DS’ original release in North America, the DSi XL launched in Japan. Famitsu has reported on the system’s first two days of sales and has determined that it sold 103,524 in two days. It should be noted that this data is from Enterbrain and not Media Create, which is sometimes a more trustworthy source for sales numbers. Still, it seems as though the handheld is off to a fairly good start, especially considering that the handheld isn’t a major upgrade to the DSi.

Players Put Their Photo Skills to the Test in a New DSi Title That Incorporates Photography as an Active Gameplay Mechanic

El Segundo, Calif. – Nov. 23, 2009 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced Foto Showdown for Nintendo DSi™. Players utilize the Nintendo DSi’s camera functionality to snap photos and incorporate them directly into the gameplay in this action packed, battle tested RPG for kids of all ages.

As players progress through more than 100 levels, winning tournaments and beating opponents, they’ll be able to upgrade their powers, purchase more powerful weapons, add medicine and tools providing the ability to wreak greater havoc on their duelist partner! The longer you play the stronger you get.

Celebrating its 20th Anniversary, the Classic Nintendo Entertainment System Game Makes its Triumphant Return November 23

EDISON, N.J., November 23, 2009 – Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced that A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia is now available for download on Virtual Console™. The classic Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES™) puzzle-platformer celebrates its 20th anniversary by challenging a new generation of gamers as it arrives on Wii™ for the first time. The original game has been one of the most influential in history and inspired the critically acclaimed reimagining of the tale for Wii™ – a boy and his blob -developed by WayForward Technologies earlier this fall.

Taking place in 2001 (the future from its original release), the game’s touching storyline begins when an Evil Emperor imprisons the inhabitants of Blobolonia. One brave soul by the name of Blob, full name Blobert, escapes his home planet looking for help. He crash-lands on Earth only to find a young boy. Luckily, when the Boy feeds Blobert flavored jellybeans, the blob transforms into various helpful shapes such as the Licorice Ladder, Fruit-Punch Hole and Hummingbird Honey. Using the magical candy and teamwork, the duo sets out to free Blobolonia and vanquish the Evil Emperor as they traverse through the head-scratching, side-scrolling puzzle action that has become legend in the annals of videogame history.
