Nintendo DS Game Mixes Charm with Powerful Moves and Fun Platforming Action
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The newest hero on the block might not seem like a powerhouse at first blush, but don’t let him hear you say that. Starfy has long been a five-pointed hero in Japan. The Legendary Starfy™, a new game now available for the portable Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems, marks Starfy’s U.S. debut and proves that good looks and toughness make a star-studded match.
The Legendary Starfy asks players to help Starfy make his way through a variety of challenges in and around the ocean. Starfy is on a quest to help a mysterious character named Bunston, who crashed through Starfy’s ceiling. Players must figure out how to navigate Starfy to the end of each stage by swimming, jumping and bouncing him over, under and through obstacles.

New video of Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver PokeWalker

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 4 Comments

A new video of Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver has been released. This footage focuses on the PokeWalker, another pedometer tool for the DS. We’ve already discussed the PokeWalker, but you can check out a brief description below.

When using the peripheral, gamers can upload Pokemon from Heart Gold/Soul Silver and, based on the number of steps one walks in real life, can increase both experience and happiness. And of course, experience gained will allow Pokemon to level up. The PokeWalker can further be used to obtain items through mini-games and fight against other Pokemon, wirelessly. You can watch the first footage of the PokeWalker below.

Square Enix has plans for more Crystal Chronicles games

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment

“Yes, we are going to keep making Crystal Chronicles titles. If this one does well, we would like to make one in a similar style alongside new multiplayer FF:CC games as well.” – Toshiyuki Itahana

I’ve been disappointed with the reaction to The Crystal Bearers. To me, it seems as though the title is being largely ignored and unappreciated…Which shouldn’t be, considering it bears a strong resemblance to Zelda titles.
