Some Guitar Hero DS info
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
– World Tour mode, Band Career mode (4 player online), Battle of the Bands mode (4 Vs. 4 online)
– Drum setup: 3 pad, 2 cymbals, 1 bass pedal
– drum pads are ‘velocity sensitive’
– New guitar: “newly designed” and “more responsive.”
– New gameplay mechanic yet to be announced
– customizable rocker, logo, album art, and more
– ‘Jam Mode’ has been taken out…for now. Jam Mode let you play over any song in the game, without the need to follow notes
– Music creation: “We’ve embraced the whole custom community and we’re giving fans what they want. It’s a full recording studio and an online repository, a library for people to post their songs.”
– Difficulty: “The Expert level will still be what it is: you’ll play every note in the song. If it’s a really hard song, it’s going to be really hard to play in the game. And that’s what the hardcore fans want. But for the rest of the people, we’re trying to make the ramp [from Easy to Hard] a little more linear.”

New DS colours and Cooking Guide on the way
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
21 May 2008 – Get ready for a double treat this summer as the season is set to be full of tasty food and colourful new Nintendo DS Lites!
Preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner with Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide What To Eat? on one of three exciting new Nintendo DS Lite colours of Red, Turquoise or Green – a European first for that colour – is set to be a whole new mouth-watering experience!
Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide What to Eat? Goes beyond the capabilities of printed cookbooks and literally talks budding chefs step-by-step through all the processes involved in cooking a tasty dish. With its numerous international recipe choices, dish search options, videos and simple step-by-step guides to choosing, preparing and cooking a dish, Cooking Guide: Can’t Decide What to Eat? can turn even the most hesitant of cooks into confident chefs. Cooks control the software through the Nintendo DS’s Touch Screen and by the user’s voice via the handheld’s microphone. It is simple for everyone to use, no matter what their previous experience – either with a Nintendo DS or in the kitchen!
Three new DS Lite colors launching in Europe
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Perhaps in an effort to continue their ongoing momentum, Nintendo has announced three new DS Lite colors will be releasing in Europe: red, turquoise and green. Gamers can expect the new colors to show up at retailers June 13th.
Euro release list says Project H.A.M.M.E.R. still alive, more
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo has bluntly admitted – more than a few times – that Project H.A.M.M.E.R. was shelved. Because of this, people have given up on what appeared to be a unique title. However, an updated European release date listing shows that Project H.A.M.M.E.R. is still alive, and oddly enough, still on track for this year. It’s difficult to believe that the game is still in development and even has a chance of coming out this year based on the facts, but knowing that Project H.A.M.M.E.R. is on this release list is an encouraging sign.
Also worthy of note on the list is Animal Crossing, Disaster, Wii Music, and Pokemon Platinum for the Nintendo DS.
