Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
• Gaara
Created as a weapon by orders of the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village, Gaara hated the world and lived only to kill until he met Naruto. After the epic battle between the two, Gaara’s attitude has lightened up a bit. Gaara had finally found another who understood…who is living through a similar plight. Now, he and his siblings, Kankuro and Temari can be found assisting the Hidden Leaf Village as its new ally where once they were enemies. His abilities are beyond those of most chunin and jonin.• Itachi
He is Sasuke’s mysterious older brother. Once a renowned ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village, he left the village to be painted as a betrayer after practically wiping out the Uchiha Clan. Sasuke is the only surviving Uchiha left in the Hidden Leaf Village.• Kisame
A powerful ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, the same village where the mighty Zabuza originated from, not much is known about him except that he carries a giant sword that saps its victim of their chakra. He and Itachi work together for an enigmatic organization known as Akatsuki.

Opera says DSi has more RAM than original DS
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
“Yes, the DSi has more RAM than the DS Lite. In addition, with integrated Opera coming with the DSi, it will use RAM more efficiently.” – Jon S. von Tetzchner, Opera CEO
This should pretty much imply that the new browser on the DSi will run smoother and might include more complex features than in the first version of Opera (the cart iteration). The question is, will new DSi titles be able to benefit from the added RAM?
DSi might be able to store demos in the future, talk of classic downloadable titles
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 1 Comment
“Via the DSi Shop you will be able to download games and we don’t have anything to announce yet in terms of demos, but I’d be pretty surprised if we didn’t go that route. It seems like something that would be pretty easy to pull off and pretty useful.” – Charlie Scibetta, Senior Director of Corporate Communications of Nintendo of America
“The DSi is backwards compatible to the DS and DS Lite, we don’t have anything to announce in regards to past libraries or catalogues of games coming to the DSi Shop channel. I don’t have a lot of details about what is going to be available in the DSi Shop channel, but when it comes out next year we’ll have much more details on what you can check out.” – Charlie Scibetta, Senior Director of Corporate Communications of Nintendo of America
Scibetta also mentioned that Nintendo iss aware of “the desire” to see a new Kid Icarus game and they are “definitely thinking about it.” Still, the company has nothing to announce at this time.
Rumor: SEGA vs. Capcom title to be revealed at TGS
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 6 Comments
If the latest rumors are to be believed, both Capcom and SEGA will reveal SEGA vs. Capcom: Great Clash Generation for the DS at TGS. The game would based as a “hybrid RPG-fighting game” with a release date scheduled for Q1 2009. The rumors also explain that SEGA would be the main developer alongside Dimps, with Capcom acting as a supervisor. The character roster is apparently unknown, though Mega Man and Sonic are expected to make an appearance. TGS begins this Thursday, so we’ll know if this rumor holds any weight soon enough.

Nintendo: Hardcore gamers will initially be the DSi consumers
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
“Right out of the gate [the DSi audience] is probably the hardcore gamers. They’re usually the early adopters that want to get the latest version of something, and they’ll be the ones that put it through its paces the hardest and give us all kind of feedback and tell us what they like and don’t like.” – Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America spokesperson
The feeling I’ve been assuming is that some people will be perfectly fine with their DS/DS Lite, while others will move on to the DSi due to some of the new features it presents. Anyone planning on picking up the DSi when it launches?
Analyst: DSi downloads can be a “game changer”
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
With Nintendo’s newest announcement of the DSi, many have already began analyzing the system’s potential, including its impact on the market. Now, analyst Michael Patcher offered his opinion on DSi downloads, stating that it can be a “game changer.”
“I suspect that broader appeal will ultimately be determined by the quantity and quality of downloadable content. If we see games like Boingz and Tetris (new Wii Ware games) exported to the DSi, or see new innovations that use the camera, I think it will be a game changer.”
Patcher also commented on Sony’s recent comments, in which it was stated that Sony isn’t sure if the DSi “will be a product that expands their user base [beyond] under 12.”
“I think that the core of the user base is between 6 and 18 (probably 75% of active users), so Koller isn’t that far off. The biggest reason for Western users over 18 to buy a DS is the games – like Brain Age – that appeal to older users. The camera feature, brighter screens, thinner case, etc. are nice to have, but don’t magically make my mom want to have one. I don’t see how the device suddenly appeals to adults unless Nintendo is able to demonstrate that the camera feature allows for more sophisticated game play.”
