Hudson making a big DSiWare push
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
Up to this point, DSiWare in North America and Europe has been littered with overpriced applications and mediocre downloads. Hudson, however, is looking to change that in the near future – At least with their own support. Mike Pepe, Director of Marketing, has told Siliconera that they are “going to be pushing DSiWare pretty hard.” As things stand now, the company is looking to release four or five titles for the service, which will either be based on typical Hudson games and new IPs.

New Nintendo DS Game Unearths Fossil-Themed Excitement at World-Famous La Brea Tar Pits
–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo:
WHAT:
Already a world-famous destination for prehistoric discovery, L.A.’s La Brea Tar Pits will be the site of an extraordinary entertainment find as Nintendo touts the upcoming release of its new Fossil Fighters™ game for the portable Nintendo DS™ system with a launch event for kids and their parents. Highlights will include a chance to play Fossil Fighters in advance of its Aug. 10 release, as well as a hands-on fossil dig in which kids compete to excavate and assemble the game’s fearsome creatures for prize giveaways (while supplies last). Attendees of all ages can enjoy a live Fossil Fighters tournament, and parents will be granted free admission to the nearby Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits when accompanied by a child. Guided museum tours and a tour of Project 23, which is undergoing excavation, will be available regularly throughout the event.
Fossil Fighters combines the fascinating fun of fossil study with the engaging hand-held game play of Nintendo DS. Players must use the stylus and touch screen to find and carefully clean fossils in order to revive and power-up battle-ready Vivosaurs, expanding their collection and attempting to become the best Fossil Fighter around. The game also allows players to battle or trade their fossils with friends via a local wireless connection.
