Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 3 Comments
More Wi-Fi aspects of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars are now available, thanks to the latest Nintendo Power. Rockstar will be hosting competitions for prizes through the Rockstar Social Club. Players can access competitions via an in-game PC. Some competitions will focus around game-completion percentages while others will be based on how well missions have been completed.
Aside from competitions, Chinatown Wars will also allow players who have registered each others Friend Codes to exchange messages with each other in real time. Furthermore, it has been reconfirmed that friends can trade items and favorite locations that have been marked on the GPS.

Nintendo explains the lack of games as of late
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 18 Comments
Some gamers have been complaining about the number of Nintendo titles that have been released over the past few years. However, the company has now responded to those who have said that their output of titles has been low as of late.
“Until now there have been complaints that Nintendo makes too many games or Nintendo dictates too much leadership. Complaining that Nintendo makes too few games is a first, isn’t it?” – Nintendo of Japan PR

Nintendo’s email teaser is probably Pokemon Platinum

Looks like this is an announcement of sorts for Pokemon Platinum. This is a bit of a letdown, but Nintendo has not been known for announcing new titles through emails.

NEW INTERACTIVE DRIVING THEORY GUIDE FOR NINTENDO DS WILL SAVE LEARNER DRIVERS TIME AND MONEY
Avanquest Software Publishing, a leading consumer software and games publisher, has launched Pass Your Driving Theory Test for Nintendo DS to retail today. It is the essential interactive guide for those preparing to take their driving theory test. All 1265 official DSA questions are included for both cars and motorcycles, with users given the option to customise a revision schedule to fine tune their knowledge.
A theory test costs £30 and must be completed before learner drivers can take their practical examination. Almost 40% of those taking their theory test will fail*, which can result in having to reschedule a practical driving test. This in turn increases costs, wastes time and adds annoyance to an already stressful situation. For £19.99, Pass Your Driving Theory Test DS is a cost effective tool to ensure a first time pass.
