NEW DS LITES ADD COLOR TO BLACK FRIDAY

Posted Oct 28th 2008 2:00PM by Chris Greenhough
Filed under: News




In 2007, Sears offered ravenous Black Friday shoppers a pink Nintendogs Lite and
an eye-catching gold Phantom Hourglass console.

This year, to help you forget the fact that you're not rich enough to import a
DSi, two further hardware bundles will be made available: an Ice Blue Lite with
Brain Age and a case that looks like a Filofax, and a Mario Red model with an
"M" stamped on it that ships with New Super Mario Bros., both priced at $149.99.
It prints money, etc. If you take away that "M," these are basically two of
Nintendo's newest European Lites. We admit to harboring mixed feelings about the
"M." Would anyone else just prefer the plain red Lite?

To play the latest video slots try to use the bonuses you find in the best
online casino with free spins in USA.

REMINDER: TODAY IS THE LAST DAY FOR OUR GIVEAWAY

Posted Oct 28th 2008 12:30PM by DS Fanboy Staff
Filed under: Contests / Giveaways



Last night, we made a mistake and prematurely selected a winner for our latest
contest. See, we usually run these things until Sunday night, selecting a winner
via random drawing the following day and putting up a post that night. For those
of you that regularly read us, you probably saw the post and thought nothing of
it. Well, in reality, we made a mistake.

You see, the contest is still open now. When we set up the rules for these
things, they're final, so we're obligated to keep the contest open for its full
length, as we should. So, for those of you who want to win this game, get on
over to the original contest post here and leave a comment. The contest closes
tonight.


We apologize to the mixup and thank you for your patience and understanding in
this matter. Thanks.

A BOMBASTIC TRAILER FOR BLUE DRAGON PLUS

Posted Oct 28th 2008 10:48AM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: Video


With this new trailer for Blue Dragon Plus, Ignition Entertainment seems to be
honoring Blue Dragon and Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi the best way
they know how: by releasing a trailer loaded with explosive, colorful CG, and
not one second of gameplay. It does its job well, portraying the game as totally
serious business.

The trailer originates from the new Blue Dragon Plus website, which currently
doesn't have much else on it aside from a story synopsis and a few character
profiles. Ignition promises more content in "late November." We can't wait to
see more of this game, even though we've been waiting on Blue Dragon for quite
some time already.

FANSWAG: KIRBY SUPER STAR ULTRA GOES TO ... [UPDATE]

Posted Oct 27th 2008 8:00PM by DS Fanboy Staff
Filed under: Contests / Giveaways



Update: Wow, we can be pretty boneheaded sometimes. We prematurely ended the
contest and chose a winner, thinking it ended on Sunday night, as per our usual
routine. This latest contest, however, wasn't supposed to end until the evening
of Tuesday, October 28th. We apologize for the mistake and will be leaving the
contest open, selecting the winner at random again, after it has officially
concluded. Sorry to everyone involved, we'll do our best to avoid this mistake
in the future. Please ignore all of that at the bottom.

Our latest giveaway has come to a close, so it's about time we crowned a winner,
right? Who's the lucky individual walking away with a free copy of Kirby Super
Star Ultra? Well, it's none other than:

 * greennoo, who likes Kirbuy's stone form
   

Thanks to everyone that entered and better luck next time! We'll be sure to
start up our next giveaway real soon.

GAMING TO GO: N+

Posted Oct 27th 2008 6:30PM by Matthew Madeiro
Filed under: Gaming to Go




Perhaps you've heard of N+. It's been covered only a teeny bit here on DS
Fanboy, so it's pretty unforgivable if this is your first encounter with the
masochistic Ninja platformer. Masochistic may not even be a strong enough word,
honestly. N+ has built up a reputation all across the vast internet as being
ridiculously difficult, much like its web-based predecessor. Whether N+ is a
solid recreation of the original N's gameplay is a somewhat controversial
subject, but anyone who's given it a whirl can probably agree on one point: it
is awesome for gaming on the go.

Your miniature ninja is blessed with amazing speed and skill, though it comes at
a heavy price: a lifespan of precisely 1.5 minutes. As you might imagine, this
makes N+ perfect for quick bursts of play, as you'll never spend more than a few
minutes trying to clear a set of levels. Sound interesting? Stab that big button
down there and come see why N+ is a beautiful thing indeed if you're looking for
some quick ninja-flavored challenge in your daily commute.

A CLOSER LOOK AT NEW PHANTASY STAR ZERO LOOT

Posted Oct 27th 2008 5:00PM by Chris Greenhough
Filed under: News, Screens



Famitsu has a brief preview of the two newest weapons that will be available to
Phantasy Star Zero players, the shield and the gunslash. Shields will be able to
defend against any weapon, according to this machine translation, though can
also be used to limited effect for walloping enemies. We don't really have much
to say about the gunslash, a sword/gun combo, other than "gunslash" is a totally
rad name.

Also featured is a third "new" weapon, which we should all be familiar with
because it's a clenched, bare fist. We can't recall being able to fight with
these in previous Phantasy Star games, probably because pummeling this with your
mitts would be an act of grave stupidity. Oh, and you can also perform
unnaturally high kicks. Those angles just ... aren't right.

DS FANBOY REVIEW: WHAT'S COOKING? WITH JAMIE OLIVER

Posted Oct 27th 2008 3:00PM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: Reviews

For Atari's slightly weird cooking trainer/cookbook What's Cooking? With Jamie
Oliver (technically the box says What's Cooking? Jamie Oliver, but I don't think
I want to call it that), I decided a traditional review probably wasn't the best
idea. So I decided to take cues from my colleagues, the Cooking Guide experts,
and make a gallery of my experience cooking a recipe from the game -- in this
case blueberry, banana, and mascarpone pancakes. As the perfect garnish for this
food metaphor, a somewhat abbreviated review appears below, followed by a link
into my pancakes gallery!

GARDENING MAMA SAYS PUT IT IN THE GROUND

Posted Oct 27th 2008 1:45PM by Alisha Karabinus
Filed under: News, Screens

Mama's so talented. No more is she limited to the kitchen, sweetly suggesting
you chop vegetables before she tans that behind. Now she's free to rove in the
gardens as well, pointing at the shrubbery and essaying commands. Of course,
after this screenshot, we fully expect an English-Teaching Mama in the future.
The sky's the limit, Mama! So long as you stick to traditionally feminine roles,
anyway.

505 Games just announced that they'll have the latest in Mama's franchise on
shelves in Europe in the spring, to coincide with the release of that region's
Cooking Mama 2: World Kitchen for the Wii. Since World Kitchen is slated for
November in the U.S., and no similar announcement has yet been made for
Gardening Mama here, it doesn't look like we'll see the same dual release.

DS RELEASES FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 26TH

Posted Oct 27th 2008 11:50AM by Alisha Karabinus
Filed under: News

There's a ridiculous amount of cuteness available for the DS this week, and
while cuteness is certainly a staple among DS games, the combination of
Ninjatown and MySims Kingdom may just be enough to destroy the universe. If
we're still here come Wednesday, it means we survived. Importers might want to
pay particular attention this week to the Japanese releases, too, but of course,
with Play Asia's current sale -- 15% off everything in stock through Halloween
-- it's a good time to import anyway. Might as well rack up on those Japanese DS
games before the DSi comes along to spoil the import party.

DS DAILY: YS OR NO

Posted Oct 27th 2008 9:00AM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: DS Daily



Atlus will publish Interchannel's DS remakes of the endlessly remade first two
Ys games to North America next year. Japanese gamers are pretty familiar with
Falcom and their venerable ARPG series, but it never really caught on outside of
Japan, despite a decent number of releases making it over here on the Sega
Master System, Turbografx-16 CD-Rom, Super NES, and other systems.

How familiar are you with Ys? Did you pass over the Virtual Console release in
anticipation of the announcement of this DS game? Did that recent release pique
your curiosity about the series? Or has Atlus's involvement gotten your
attention? Alternately, you love these two games so much that you'll pick them
up on every available system?

DS DAILY: CHOCOBO VS. CHOCOBO

Posted Oct 26th 2008 10:30AM by Alisha Karabinus
Filed under: DS Daily



With two chocobo-centric games heading to the DS, cash-poor gamers may have to
make a terrible decision: chocobo, or chocobo? Oh, the horror! They're both
adorable, but one is packed with mini-games based on familiar stories, and the
other is based on familiar (as in, old school) gameplay packed with aspects that
will kick your ass. Similar in some ways, they are, but in the end? Very
different.

If forced to choose, which would be your one chocobo game to rule them all: Cid
and Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon: Maze of Time DS+ or Chocobo and the Magic
Storybook: The Witch and the Girl and the Five Heroes.

DS DAILY: THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS

Posted Oct 25th 2008 10:30AM by JC Fletcher
Filed under: DS Daily



If you want to import a Nintendo DSi at launch, that's what you're going to have
to pay -- that is, if you can even get one. That's about $100 over its retail
price, for a system with only two confirmed launch titles (the browser and the
notepad program) and only two more known titles (mini-Brain Ages) on the way.

Have the prices affected your decision, if you were previously planning to grab
one? Or have the reports of rarity, which are helping to drive those high
prices, accelerated the decision process?

DS BOOSTS UBISOFT SALES BY 37% IN Q2

Posted Oct 24th 2008 5:57PM by David Hinkle
Filed under: News



Ubisoft loves the DS. The system has aided them in accumulating mucho cash money
during Q2 of the 2008-09 fiscal year. The company made €175 million (US $220.24
million), beating the previous year by a whopping 37%. With some big titles
releasing during this time, such as Soul Calibur IV in Europe and Brothers in
Arms: Hell's Highway, It's no wonder they made so much. What's surprising,
though, is that 39% of that total €175 million came from the DS, thanks to
titles such as Imagine Teacher, My Secret World and PlayZone Sports Party. This
is up from last year, where the company only made 23% of its profits from
Nintendo's handheld.
