[ATUALIZADO] Chrono Trigger, we will back in time again?

Marco A Rigobelli — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 12:46:41 +0000

E essa semana minha cabeça explodiu! Eu juro que queria ter postado algo antes, mas minha euforia era tão incontrolável que eu tive que esperar ela passar para tentar escrever algo o mais sucinto possível a esse respeito.

A SQUARE ANUNCIOU UM REMAKE DE CHRONO TRIGGER! HELL YEAH!

Sim! O jogo que junto de Ocarina of Time mais chuta bundas em toda a história dos games (isso porque estou menos maluco eufórico) vai ser lançado novamente! E quando digo novamente é sério! Esse é o segundo re-lançamento do game agora em uma versão para o portátil da Big N sob o nome de Chrono Trigger DS!

Poucos conseguem imaginar como isso me deixa feliz, e diferente do que reclamam alguns fãs pé no saco mais exigentes, eu estou empolgado por não ser uma continuação ou outro treco do gênero! Até porque, já tentaram isso antes e foi uma merda não foram muito felizes.

A história de voltar a tocar na santidade do nome Chrono Trigger envolve muito mais do que tentar algo novo, é mais próximo de "em time que está ganhando não se mexe", ou melhor, em time que sempre ganhou. =D

É algo que provavelmente deveria acontecer também com Super Mario RPG e não aconteceu com FF VII, que mesmo não sendo meu favorito me entristeceu com essa super exploração infeliz que fizeram da série.

Sim! Na minha opinião, CC é daqueles jogos os quais não se pode sequer cogitar continuação ou outra história a não ser que tenha certeza da qualidade similar ou superior. Isso claro, foi o motivo da minha satisfação com essa notícia. Trazer para as novas gerações um jogo tão perfeito em sua época em todos os quesitos e ainda tão superior a qualquer outro por seu enredo na atualidade.

Não acho que sejam necessárias muitas adaptações, ou sequer que alguma seja muito grande neste remake. Acredito que só um update nos gráficos e na jogabilidade, principalmente para adaptá-la ao sensor de toque do DS, o que pode até tornar as batalhas mais ágeis, minha única crítica ao jogo, na verdade à esse gênero em geral.

Existem jogos pelos quais sou apaixonado como os Pokémon para portáteis, Sonic e Street Fighter, jogos que admiro e me encantam profundamente como o primeiro Final Fantasy Tatics, Final Fantasy VIII e IX, e Warcraft III e por fim jogos dos quais sou um devoto fervoroso: Zelda, Chrono Trigger e Civilization.

E agora, com esse anúncio, já vou começar a preparar meu altar e os trocados afim de comprar um DS.

[ATUALIZAÇÃO!]

Saiu hoje no site do jogo, o primeiro vídeo, possívelmente (mas não provavelmente) in-game. Confiram abaixo:

E mais outra! A Square-Enix confirmou o lançamento do jogo para o inverno Japonês!(final do ano)

Video Game Preview: Spider-Man: Web of Shadows

malcolmchaos7 — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 19:12:59 +0000

Worried by the child-oriented turn the recent Spider-Man games have seen to take? Disappointed by that Spider-Man 3 game? I was too. Then I saw the trailer for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

The game, which will be launching on October 21st on the Playstation 3 (and 2), PSP, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, Wii, and PC, is the work of the developers at Treyarch and Activision.

Here's the teaser trailer:

See, the game takes place in a post-apocalyptic New York City, after a symbiote invasion pretty much wrecked the city. Spider-Man decides he's going to go No Man's Land on everybody's ass and save the city.

Now, the developers of this game had been working on this new combat system for awhile, and when they were given the chance to use it on Spider-Man, they jumped at it. In previous Spider-Man games, webswinging and fighting have pretty much been two separate things - sometimes with the developers going as far as having webswinging challenges and fighting challenges, essentially separating the two. The developers of Web of Shadows have been working hard at making the two run together fluidly. Fighting can be taken from the ground to the walls - I've seen footage of villains being kicked fifty to sixty yards in the air and slammed into skyscrapers. This new edge they seem to be giving Spidey is either going to be hackneyed or badass, and I'd bet on the latter.

Apparently, one can also switch from the classic red and blue to the white suit at any time during the game. That should be cool, and add to that supposed "edge."

Actually, when I say they're giving an "edge" to Spidey, I actually mean a theoretical edge. The only one that can give an actual edge to Spidey in this game is you, dear reader. You decide whether or not those "morals" that are supposed to have been instilled in you by your dear Uncle Ben are going to come in handy after everything you know and love has been taken from you. Apparently, your decisions also influence gameplay. You can choose to aid people like Luke Cage or The Vulture. Then again, they said the same thing about Marvel Ultimate Alliance and that didn't change the gameplay at all - all it really did was make me pissed off at the backasswards logic they used to make a game with a solid ending leave a bad taste in my mouth.

But, that's beside the point. The point is, I am psyched for Spider-Man; Web of Shadows. And you should be too.

Eledees coming to the DS this Winter

randomupdate — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 17:45:28 +0000

Eledees power on to DS

Konami's charming Eledees series heads to Nintendo DS in all-new, bespoke adventure

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced the return of its popular Eledees characters, as the cute energy creatures head to DS in an all-new title Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero heading to Europe this Winter.

Eledees was an original title designed for the Wii and starred the titular creatures who have the ability to supply electricity when gathered together. As such, players were charged with locating and collecting the tiny Eledees creatures needed to power their home, and this basic concept has been retained for Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero, but within a touch-screen adventure created specifically for the Nintendo handheld.

Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero acts as a direct sequel to the Wii game, and adds a mystical slant to the story. The two titular heroes find themselves transported into a mysterious realm by a magical bus created by Kai’s inventor Father. As they get used to their surroundings, the pair must use all their skills to gather the Eledees they will need to assist their progression, with Kai making good use of his special capture gun, which is used to grab the evasive Eledees, and lift, manipulate and move any objects in his path.

In addition to locating the various Eledees to power devices, players are also challenged with locating a new species of ‘Omega’ Eledees, who boast a wider range of abilities and act as side-kicks who accompany Kai through the vast stages. As the game progresses, ‘Omega’ Eledees capable of locating hidden areas, freezing water, and illuminating dark areas must be found and put to good use to progress to later stages.

The DS game also extends the multi-player elements of the Wii title, with the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi service allowing players to compete head-to-head, or in four-player battles to round up the errant power sources.

Eledees: The Adventures of Kai and Zero will be released for Nintendo DS this winter.

Square-Enix conferma Chrono Trigger DS

Massi — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 09:57:59 +0000

Pubblicato ad Massi

Square-Enix ha confermato ufficialmente le indiscrezioni che volevano la compagnia al lavoro sul remake del gioco di ruolo Chrono Trigger su Nintendo DS.

La vecchia gloria pubblicata originariamente su Super Nintendo sarà adattata alle peculiarità dello schermo dual screen e delle caratteristiche del pennino della console portatile di Nintendo. Chrono Trigger è un gioco di ruolo in cui il giocatore impersona Crono, eroe che per salvare un amico dovrà modificare il passato cercando di creare un futuro migliore. La versione per Nintendo DS comprenderà alcuni nuovi dungeon e il supporto alla Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Dato il successo dell'episodio pubblicato su SNES, che a suo tempo vendette circa 2.5 milioni di copie, Square-Enix immetterà con buone possibilità di successo Chrono Trigger DS nel mercato statunitense entro la fine del 2008, in data ancora da annunciare. Non è al momento stata ufficializzata una versione destinata al vecchio continente.

Under the Knife: SNK Vs Capcom Card Fighters DS

bastardgamer — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 01:51:42 +0000

By The Bastard Gamer

(I summon Mai's boobs in attack mode)

Where I first heard of this game I thought it was an actual collectable card game. One like Magic the Gathering where a good portion of my budget would go to buying card packs. Then I learned they actually made a card battle game for the Neo Geo Pocket with two versions, one with SNK cards and one with Capcom cards. But since the NGP is kinda gone now not many got to play it. Now SNK and Capcom brought the Nintendo DS a really cool updated version of the NGP game with a metric fuckton of cards, cool graphics, and wireless multiplayer and called it *deep breath* SNK Vs Capcom Card Fighters DS.

The plot of this game is kinda stupid. You're a kid who looks like Yugioh and Austin Powers had a baby and some computer program in a place called Card Tower has trapped the best card battlers in it and have now somehow taken over the world. All of the people in the tower are brainwashed into card battling you and you need to rescue them by winning... yeah, thats the plot, make a computer program rule with world with cards and defend the stronghold with card playing kids instead of... people with guns.

The card battling is fun and it's easy to figure out. You get cards featuring characters from almost every SNK and Capcom game. I mean we got Megaman, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, Phoenix Wright, Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, Final Fight, King of Fighters.... man I can go on forever. Your main goal in each battle is to summon character cards with Force Icons (for you MTG players, think of them as Mana) and attack your opponent with your characters and their abilities while your opponent defends back.

The artwork in this game is really cool, the pictures on all the cards are just fun to look at, and the flavor text is sometimes funny to read to. Speaking of text...

This game has the most broken english I ever. I mean most of the text sounds like it was written by a grammatically challenged middle schooler, and sometimes the text for card effects doesn't respond to its real effect. Like one card I played does 500 damage to an opponents character, it instead only did 100. So alot of times you need to toss a card on the table to see what happens.

With those gripes aside Card Fighters DS is worth picking up if you like collectable card games or just like the nostalgia only an SNK and Capcom fan like I can get.

Edit: I forgot to mention, this game is subject to a game-crashing bug that prevents the game from being completed. If you go on the second playthrough and speak to a player named "John" your game freezes and needs to be switched off. Talking to John is required to battle and defeat him in order to progress in the game. Thankfully SNK made a recall of the game and pulled it off the shelves and replaced them with fresh copies of the game with the glitch removed. If you ended up buying a copy of the game with the glitch you can send your cartridge back to SNK and they'll replace it for free. The glitch is pretty much taken care of but there could still be bugged copies floating around out there so be prepared to possibly send your game back and not play it again till your bug free game comes back six weeks later.

Video in-game de FIFA 09

Elias — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:22:28 +0000

Aquí están las primeras tomas in-game de FIFA 09, en una entrevista de la revista francesa PSM3, donde podemos ver los fluídos movimientos y buenas gráficas del juego.

Y bueno, en la entrevista hablan de la mejora en la inteligencia artificial de los porteros, cómo funcionan las colisiones entre jugadores y más.

Luce muy bien la verdad, aunque me imagino que en la vida real los jugadores terminarían agotados después de correr durante todo el partido como en el video jaja

FIFA 09 va a salir para todas las consolas (aunque este video es como se vería el juego en PlayStation 3 y Xbox 360) del mercado en un par de meses.

Chrono Trigger DS confirmed for North America

switchvolcom — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 05:37:18 +0000

Recently Square Enix released a small website, under the sensor of course, for Chrono Trigger pointing to the DS. Not long after an official announcement was made regarding this long-awaited game. Square Enix made America very happy when they told us Chrono Trigger would be available by the holidays. The new and improved version of Chrono will be very promising showing to have some extra features like a new dungeon and some sort of wireless play. There will also be touch-screen support of course.

Últimamente los Domingos se me pasan durmiendo.

errorista — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:31:21 +0000

Do you have a lover? Do you love him tenderly
Maybe he’s backstage, sipping whiskey patiently.
When you are away, do you miss him horribly?
And if not…could it be me?

- This is Ivy League, "Viola"

Domingos again. Vamos a empezar contando cómo estuvo el fin de semana. Demasiado sano tal vez, pero derrochador como siempre. No es que me arrepienta, pero es una mala costumbre mía. Si sigo así , nunca podré juntar la plata para el Cosplay, damn.

Viernes

No fuí a clases. Puse la alarma a las 6:30 pero ni siquiera la sentí, recuerdo que la noche anterior me acosté como a las 3 a.m. Desperté a las 11:21 a.m. Creo que había que entregar el Final Draft del ensayo de la profe Soza. Tuvo buena disposición al darme una segunda oportunidad con la primera prueba, y soy bueno en su clase, así que ojalá me de una con el fucking essay. Además, la impresora explotó, y no tengo donde imprimir el maldito trabajo. Y sí, puedo ir a la central de apuntes, pero siempre está demasiado llena. Me da lata. Además tienen ese sillón raro donde siempre me quedo dormido.

Flojée harto ese día. Principalmente fué PC+PS2 (Hikki's best combi). Avanzé bastante en el P3 y casi llego a lv.20. Me comí un omelette y una ensalada, creo. También fuí por una de esas chaparritas del OK Market. Una de mis adicciones menos destructivas, supongo.

Sábado.

El día de la junta. Me levanté taarde, a eso de las 1p.m. Hablé con Abarca por messenger y me decía que Daisuke no había llegado al Departamento. Me temí que estuviera inubicable, como es de esperar con él en estos casos. Le pedí a Abarca el número de su celular nuevo y ¡Milagro! respondió. Ahí le avisé la hora y el lugar. Everything was doing fine. Llegué a Escuela Militar y lo primero que veo es a ese Asiático llegando por el otro lado de la entrada. Awesome timing. Luego esperamos a la Vero un rato , no mucho por suerte,y emprendimos el viaje hacia el mundo de la Línea 5.

Llegando al andén de Baquedano, nos encontramos con Krizy y Hotu. Corchi también estaba por ahí, sólo que le tomó un poco de tiempo asimilar que esa agrupación rara de lo que parecía ser un montón de inadaptados sociales era Gamercafe.cl. Sorry dude, there's no swedish girl mansion =/

No sé si el tiempo se me pasó muy rápido, o efectivamente tardaron poco en llegar. Estábamos todos. A eso de las 5 partimos hacia el metro Bellavista La Florida. Comedy thanks to Carlzdash & company. (Si lees esto weon, definitivamente TIENES QUE HACER STAND UP, NAO). Llegamos allá y nos encontramos con todo el resto. Los bros de WiiChile, Daisuke Falso y su amigo Ermac, Dr.Kerplunk, entre muchos otros. Estuvimos un rato extra esperando a la Rokku (No la veía hace como 2 años o_o). Cómo era de imaginarse la Vero descubrió vínculos en común con gente de Gamercafe. Conocía a la Rokku y además tenía un amigo en común con AXL. Lawl.

Fuimos al Líder, donde estuvimos 45 minutos esperando por Pan. Sí, Pan. La gente nos odió, ya que nos llevamos casi todo el pan que había, es una lástima que al final haya sobrado tanto. Sobró demasiado de todo! Damn. La vero se quemó el dedo en su asombrosa hazaña de llenar bolsas de pan en tiempo récord. Me faltó el cronómetro para seguirle el timing y ver si entraba en alguna categoría de récord guiness.

Llegamos (Muy cansados todos, por cierto) a la casa de la Misha. Su mamá , muy amable, se ofreció para ayudar al aproblemado Mech en las labores carboníferas. Lo que agradecemos totalmente, ya que ella hizo prácticamente todo. La junta estaba épica in every way. Otakon y su señora, muy buena onda. Resulta que ella es Traductora (colega!) y además trabajaba para la Nippon Suisan Kaisha, la misma que mandó a mi viejo al país del sol naciente. It's a small world after all...

Mucho Brawl, Mario Kart...Goldeneye64, Turok, Sunset Riders, BATTLETOADS & DOUBLE DRAGON CONCHATUMARE! Fueron algunas de las piezas de arte que pudimos disfrutar en aquella junta. Pero lo más épico comenzó a eso de las 6 de la mañana, cuando empezaron a jugar verdaderos bodrios legendarios como Tattoo Assasins, Street Fighter: The Movie y Shaq Fu. También nos dimos cuenta que 20 personas diferentes (Todos ellos profesionales en el mundo de los videojuegos) no lograron durar más de 3 minutos en Transformers de Famicom. That's some badass game. Mi récord personal fue de 10 Segundos.

Aparte de algunos pequeños detalles con otra persona, esta junta fué lo máximo. Lo pasé realmente muy bien compartiendo con todos, y ojalá los bros de WiiChile nos inviten a alguna de sus VIP Parties alguno de estos días. Btw, AMV HELL FTW!!!!!

Domingo

Tomamos la Línea 4 junto a la Vero y Daisuke. Ella se bajó antes que nosotros en alguna estación que no recuerdo porque en realidad no estaba tomando atención. Llegamos a Escuela Militar, yo por lo menos, totalmente cagado de hambre. Fuí al Fuchs con Daisuke y nos comimos un Berlín y Leche con chocolate. Sí, LECHE CON CHOCOLATE. Vero, sé que estás leyendo esto. LO LOGRÉ, TUVE LECHE CON CHOCOLATE.

Daisuke me invitó a que fuera al departamento "para subirme un poco el ánimo" aunque honestamente no me sentía muy mal. En todo caso estas invitaciones son imposibles de negar por lo menos de mi parte.
Llegamos y Abarca estaba, bueno. Haciendo lo que él sabe hacer bien. Sí., adivinaron! Dormir.

Quise no ser tan irrespetuoso por lo que me puse a chequear La Tercera de hoy en el living, el cual compré sólo para ver mi artículo y porque no me aguantaba tener que llegar a casa para leerlo. Esta vez me dieron página completa, which rules. Página 75, Tendencias, si alguien quiere verlo.

Después de eso sentí ultra fuerte el efecto de la amiga F que tomé en el metro y tranquilamente reposé durante unas....7 horas en Cama. Desperté y estaba oscuro, por lo cual i freaked out at the beginning. Por suerte ví la hora y eran sólo las 6pm. Al parecer todos estaban durmiendo, así que me largué a casa en Ninja Stealth mode.

Llegué, me comí unos pancitos del avión que estaban en el refri y acá estoy, back on the internets.

Comments are appreciated.

It's baaaaaack!

pskerritt — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:19:22 +0000

After an experiment in podcasting and the unfortunate demise of my PC, Consoleation is back online and will be updated regularly. It's been a bit of a process getting things back in order, and my duties at GamePlasma have kept me busy... but I miss posting blogs, which are really the best way for me to express my opinions and views in a completely raw format.

As for what's going on in terms of gaming, I am the proud owner of a new Nintendo DS... and the timing couldn't be more perfect with the impending release of Final Fantasy IV due later this month and with the recent announcement of a port of Chrono Trigger sometime early next year. Honestly, I'm having more fun with the DS than I did with the PSP; you have to wonder if the singular focus on video gaming is what drives the little machine.

I'm working my way through Trauma Center 2 and will be working on a review early this week. Other than that, I've been playing Space Invaders Extreme and Arkanoid DS a lot lately... as well as (re)playing through both Castlevania offerings on the DS.

On the PS3, I just recently finished up Metal Gear Solid 4 and loved it. Say what you will about the lengthy cutscenes and long-winded story... but I ate it up. It's a visual tour-de-force and is to the Metal Gear franchise what Kingdom Hearts and Super Smash Bros. are for Square-Enix and Nintendo: fan service to the hilt. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on Soul Calibur IV towards the end of the month, and then Madden NFL 09 hits in August... and, although I suck at it, I'm a sucker for playing the game every year.

That's about it from here. I'm glad to be back, and I hope that you'll start reading again. Don't forget to check out my blogroll for some awesome gaming sites aside from this one.

Chrono Trigger DS Announcement and Promo

reviewthosegames — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:28:39 +0000

That's right, the fan-favorite Chrono Trigger is coming back. Nope it's not a sequel, but a revamped version of the SNES game will be coming to your DS in Winter this year. It seems like one of those games that would only return to Japan, but you know Square Enix; they like painting a fresh coat on and old fence and selling it as new. Not much has changed, but what has been added will make this a must-have for fans of the series.

So, what has Squeenix tacked-on to this old classic? There will be a new dungeon to crawl, wireless play, and, for better or worse, touch screen support. A game like New Super Mario Bros. shows that minimal use of the touch screen is a good thing for games that don't need it. Take the hint. If you are a fan of Chrono, or skipped out on it the first time around, then be prepared for a trip to the mall so Santa will know what to get you. Nothing says Christmas like giving to the less fortunate, being with family, and playing Chrono Trigger.

Super Smash Bros. RUMBLE?

Ah caray!!! Como dijera mi amigo Habacuc. Les digo que hay muchas personas en el mundo con talento. El creador de este room, se quemo las pestañas para hacer una versión del hit de Nintendo Wii, Super Smash Bros. nombrandolo RUMBLE. Chequen el video, es interesante. Y de hecho da pie a mi comentario: puesto que yo tambien siento que dentro de poco veremos un juego oficial por parte de Nintendo, para su DS. Esperemos que llegue pronto.

Primer video de Chrono Trigger DS

Elias — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:23:01 +0000

Square Enix mostró el primer video de Chrono Trigger DS, una versión remasterizada del RPG clásico para Super Nintendo.

Lo más notorio en este video introductorio es que la compañía japonesa dejó completamente intactas las gráficas, algo que ha dividido las opiniones, pues mientras unos dicen que el juego original fue perfecto (incluyendo lo visual) y está bien que lo dejen así, otros jugadores piden un pequeño retoque.

En lo personal me hubiera gustado que sí pulieran un poco las gráficas, como hicieron con los remakes de Dragon Quest también para la Nintendo DS, pero a final de cuentas no voy a dejar de comprar el juego por eso.

Chrono Trigger DS sale a la venta a finales de año en Japón y Norteamérica (dijeron que invierno en Japón, y vacaciones decembrinas en Estados Unidos, así que podemos generalizar diciendo que a finales de año).

Si quieren ver el video un poco más nítido, chéquenlo aquí.

Nintendo Ds: Trailer Revealed For Chrono Trigger Ds

Although this re-release initally appears disappointing due primarily to the primitive graphics, the original game itself is heralded as a bench mark in Japanese RPG history. We shall see just how adventurous the development team have been nearer towards its currently tentative release date of Winter 2008.

I hope everyone had a fun time celebrating their independence yesterday. As for gaming news, there isn't too much today. I'm pretty sure everyone still has hangovers or are still too bloated from eating too much. There's a quick summary of some of the more important news after the break.

PS3

Apparently, Kratos will not be in Soul Caliber VI. 1UP's staff has been playing both PS3 and 360 version of the game and while they mention both Yoda and Darth Vader, they say Kratos is nowhere to be seen. *sadface* for all you God of WAHHHHH fans.

PSP

Phantasy Star is coming to PSP. Their demo for the system looks to be pretty awesome too. You can play story-mode and multi-mode. Rumor has it that you can take your progress in the demo and transfer it over to the actual game as well. DLC is also planned for the game's release. Japanese fans get the demo the 14th and the game on the 31st. (Come on US/EU version!!!)

Princess Maker 4, the popular parenting sim, makes its eroticly questionable way to the DS. The game was originally released for the PC in 2006 and then released for the PSP later that year. The DS version will have 3 new endings and touchscreen support. You can use your stylus to "pat your daughter's head, pinch her cheeks, and etc." O.o o.O

Wii

Wario Land keeps looking better and better. The graphics are smooth, gameplay top-notch, and it just feels soooo Wario-like. Expect classic moves like the shoulder rush, butt slam, and those wacky Wario vehicles. Overall looks like a great game. Expect it to be released state-side on September 29th.

360

Bungie keeps its secrets well. They are already at work on their next super-secret project. What most people don't know is that they've been dropping hints as to what it is over the past few months. The "superintendent" image has been showing up everywhere since late April. It shows a small image of a face with a plunger in one hand and thumbs up with the other hand. Could this be Bungie's next project? A janitor game??

IPGM Reprise: Nintendo DS Opera Browser

jkool13 — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 01:15:56 +0000

In the short series IPGM Reprise we bring back old (and I man OLD) posts that didn't seem to get enough good light in the early days and re-edit, re-word and update the content of them. So, without further ado, here is the reprise of the post '"The Nintendo DS Opera Browser Review"

I just Recently purchased The Nintendo DS Opera browser for my Nintendo Ds Lite. Now, you must understand, even though this is a tech blog, I'm going a little off track with this one. After all, the Nintendo DS is a gaming platform. However, I decided to post htis review because after all, the Opera Browser isn't only for the DS, its on my computer too. Anyway, lets get back to the review, I was on the edge about purchasing it because people were saying it had slow load times and you couldn’t watch YouTube or other video services. Well i finally decided I dint really care about not watching YouTube on it so i bought it at gamestop $35. I love it! The controls are straight forward and pretty much explain themselves. I was able to start browsing without even reading the manual. Opera does a great job putting their web browser on the DS and I am surprised that they can be so flexible with the platforms upon which they put their browser. When I cant get on the computer because someone else is on it it serves as a decent web browser. You can Edit blogs and I’m pretty sure it works for websites too. You can also IM your friends. However, you need to either do it on ebuddy.com (aim,yahoo, and icq) or aimonpsp.com (aim only).You can use it to view pics(like on Google image search) and a lot fo web pages. I mainly use it for blogging and Im-ing. If you have the money I would definitely buy this one! A+!

4 out of 5

Note: You can only use the web browser if you have wireless Internet connection capability. You can use the browser at wi fi hot spots also.

The first step to Smash Bros. DS: "Smash Bros. RUMBLE"

Ndroo — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:24:29 +0000

This video is a demo of a homebrew game based off of the Super Smash Bros. series, and so far it looks like it's shaping up pretty nicely! A young German programmer by the name of Fuzzy has lots in store for this homebrew, including wi-fi support, it seems. The video shows only solo mode, but much of it looks like Brawl and looks to show some promise in the future. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for this homebrew when it comes out for more testing!

On Thursday, the R4 team made a very important announcement. After September 15th, if fake R4 cartridges use the kernel on their devices, the units used with will somehow be bricked! Ooh, scary. My guess is they'll release a new kernel (1.20?) that has some sort of code that can check to see if the device is real or not. If found fake, it could do many rather unpleasant things to the DS. The team says that they will have no liability for the broken DS; the shop that sold it will. On September 15th, the flashcart community will probably be flooded with people asking why their DS was bricked. I'm just gonna stay off the internet for that week. Anyone else have info on this, or an opinion? Post em' here!

Check out this thread on buying legitimate R4's. For information on the R4, click here. One little added tip: Don't buy these off of Amazon. More often than not, you'll find yourself with a fake one. These fakes are typically N5's disguised as the R4, which can brick your DS if used over a long period of time.
