Nintendo Download: Fast Cars and a Feisty Doctor Deliver Fresh Downloadable Fun
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
This week’s new downloadable games for Nintendo systems include two different ways to get behind the wheel – one futuristic, the other retro. In FAST – Racing League for the WiiWare™ service, players can fast-forward 100 years into the future to experience antigravity racing thrills. In Valet Parking 1989™ for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, they can jump back a couple of decades to strategically handle a host of vintage ’80s automobiles. For those who prefer hospitals instead of hot rods, House M.D. – Globetrotting gives Nintendo DSi™ owners a way to immerse themselves in a rich medical drama. And for timeless console fun, the Super NES™ classic Super Adventure Island is now playable on the Wii™ system via the Virtual Console™ service. Whatever your gaming appetite demands, these great new downloads can help you kick off your summer with a smile.

Professor Layton and the Specter’s Flute likely seeing localization announcement soon
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
North America and Europe are considerably behind on the Professor Layton titles. Japan’s already moved on to the 3DS, but there are still two DS games in the series that haven’t been localized. On the bright side, it looks like there may soon be a North American announcement for Professor Layton and the Specter’s Flute.
A trademark for the title has popped up on the USA database. You may remember that the Unwound Future trademark was also discovered right around this time last year, only to be revealed at E3 2010 just a month later. It’s very possible that the situation will be the same for Specter’s Flute.
