August 19, 2009 Leave a comment

There were few new Nintendo games at GC, but lets face it nothing new here. Here are the games that did make to GC:

Wii
New Super Mario Bros.
Wii Fit Plus
Wii Sports Resort

DS / DSi
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Flipnote Studio
Rhythm Paradise
Professor Layton
Style Boutique
Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story

The few games on Wii I was not that interested in but DS has few I would like to buy when I get the chance.

Scribblenauts

Publisher: Warner Home Video Games Developer: Warner Home Video Games Platform: DS Category: Puzzle & Cards

I have to admit when I saw this game in just the picture advertisement across the internet I was a little wondering why they were making a big deal out of this. It seemed to be another drawn to life game(Boy was I wrong).  Back to my story…so as I was searching through youtube.com for videos and such I came across the Scribblenauts trailer and now I believe this will be a very very good game. Not necessarily for it’s new type of puzzle gameplay but for plain uniqueness. Check out the official trailer.

At first I was sure there were limitations, but when I read you can summon anything(and I mean anything) people like God and Death. I have to admit it peaked my interest and then I found out about vs mode for just a moment in time a twinkle was in my eye.

Scribblenauts is due to hit store selves  September 15, 2009

Facebook DSi

Facebook LogoNew Facebook application in the Nintendo Dsi allows  you to take pictures with the camera and post them to Facebook, a social networking site. Sounds pretty cool but  it require you to update because its more of a function in than a application and for those not using a flashcart it is no real problem. For those who are well you might want to hold off on it beacause it blocks all known flashcarts.

“Facebook is immensely popular (hell, both my parents are on it) and it’s a simple way of getting your photos from DSi to the world wide web. Overall, this is a simple update but at the very least it adds a welcome functionality to the Nintendo DSi’s camera capabilities. I’d love a bit of further enhancements, like the ability to add notes to the photo on the Nintendo DSi itself using the virtual keyboard, and having those comments be transferred to Facebook as well.”  says  chis harris from ign.com

Perhaps the Facebook/DSi pairing could advance further with a full-on Facebook application.

Heres a video I found on youtube.

DSiWare: Counting Blocks

DSiWare Channel

The question most people aren’t answering is just how much DSiWare can you put on the Nintendo DSi.

Nintendo has an early list of  DSiWare file sizes.

The sizes are measured in Blocks.  Now the Nintendo DSi has a internal memory of 256 MB which is 1024 blocks. No this does not mean you get 1024 DSiWare.

Opera browser one of the larger DSiWare is 96 blocks which means that the internal memory can hold around 10.5 Opera browser. The file size will vary so there will not be a definate file as far as I can see. The Price range on launch will be 200 -800 but the like the opera brower it can be free and some will go higher the 800.

So try and remember that when downloading.
