The excitement and strategy of an RPG merges with the addictive replayability of a board game in this portable tournament of champions!
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 2, 2009 – Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today invited brave adventurers in search of fame and fortune to hit the road… literally. In the RPG-board game Dokapon Journey™ for Nintendo DS™, monsters have invaded the Kingdom of Dokapon, and the King has offered his throne and the hand of his daughter to any challenger who would rise to the occasion and save the land. Alas, that kind of offer is bound to attract some very over-determined adventurers…
Alone against devilish AI, or together with up to three of your friends via single- or multi-card local wireless play, sign up to save the Kingdom and win the throne. Just make sure to sabotage the competition at every chance you get!

SOUTHPEAK UNVEILS X-BLADES, VELVET ASSASSIN, AND ROOGOO TITLES AT NEW YORK COMIC CON
Exclusive Demos, Trailers, Tournaments and More Planned
MIDLOTHIAN, VA – February 2, 2009 – SouthPeak Games today announced its plans for the New York Comic Con show on February 6-8, 2009. Located at Booth 1349, SouthPeak will display some of their upcoming 2009 titles with both hands-on demos and producer-led demonstrations, along with special trailers featuring never before seen game footage.
Several members from the anime-inspired X-Blades development team will be present, along with Melinda Cohen, the model and in-game voice talent for Violette Summer in Velvet Assassin. Ninjatown creator Shawn Smith will have a signing session on Saturday from 2-3pm. In addition to an early look at the sci-fi FPS Section 8, Comic Con will also mark the first time that the new Roogoo titles – Roogoo Twisted Towers for Wii™ and Roogoo Attack! for Nintendo DS™ – will be on public display. SouthPeak is also coordinating an X-Blades tournament at the show where players will compete to win a rare figurine of Ayumi, the heroine from the game.
Bob’s Game campaign taken to Nintendo World Store
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
The actions of Robert Pelloni, the creator of Bob’s Game, have been well-documented for the last few months. Sure, his behavior has been questionable, but he has not pulled a stunt like he did at the Nintendo World Store most recently. Robert and a few cohorts posted signs on the edifice and inside of the building, placed fake cases on shelves, and threw some business cards on the floor.
Robert was asked to leave a few times, but he claimed he simply wanted to purchase a DS and play his game. All of this comes on the 50th day of his apparently 100-day protest. This is, of course, not a smart way to persuade Nintendo to give in and supply Robert with a development kit. If anything, Bob’s Game has taken quite a few steps back in regards to arriving on the DS.
