Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
Glendale, CA – September 16, 2008 – Ignition Entertainment Ltd., a UTV Enterprise, a worldwide publisher and developer of videogames, in conjunction with AQ Interactive invite gamers around the world to “Awaken the Power Within” when Blue Dragon Plus for Nintendo DS™ breathes fire across North America and Europe in March 2009.
Directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, Blue Dragon Plus features character designs by Akira Toriyama, and a soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu.
Currently a top-rated show on Cartoon Network in the U.S., the story of Blue Dragon centers on a young boy named Shu and several of his friends who possess the ability to control phantom shadows that mirror the actions of their masters. In Blue Dragon Plus, one year has passed since Shu and his companions defeated the tyrannical remnant of the Ancients, Nene. In the midst of the battle, the world split in two and now consists of a myriad of “cubes” that exploded from its depths. King Jibral notices a mysterious cube in the distance suddenly start to move violently, and from it he sees the Shadow of a Balaur, a three-headed dragon, emerge. The enormous and sinister Shadow is just the beginning of the new turmoil and devastation to come.

DS breaks record for most units sold in August
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
This past Thursday, the NPD data showed that the DS had yet another astronomical month. Even though the DS Lite released well over a year ago in North America, Nintendo managed to sell another 518,300 system units. By doing so, the DS Lite has broken a record previously held by the PS2: The most amount of units for a system sold in August. Sony previously held on to the record with 454,300 PS2 units sold. It may also be worth noting that the Wii almost passed that same record as well, with 454,000 Wii consoles.
