Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks now out for Nintendo DS

December 8th, 2009 admin No comments

Spirit Tracks, the fifteenth installment of The Legend of Zelda series, was released today by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld game console.

Since its inception in 1986, more than 59 million games in The Legend of Zelda series have been sold worldwide with Spirit Tracks expected to become one of this years and next years biggest video game sellers.

Spirit Tracks has received high praise from reviewers including the “Best Handheld Game” award at Gamescom 2009, a 91% rating in the December 2009 issue of the UK Official Nintendo Magazine, a 92% rating from NGamer magazine and a 9.0 score from GameTrailers.

Spirit Tracks takes place several decades after The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (released in 2007) and builds upon the touch-screen control interface found in Phantom Hourglass.

New items include the Whirlwind and the Spirit Flute, which allows players to perform music that has magical effects on objects and events in the game by blowing into the built-in microphone of the Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi.

The game also includes a new head-to-head multiplayer mode that lets up to four players compete via a local wireless connection with one game card.

Nintendo DS To Get Tegra 2 In The Future?

November 17th, 2009 admin No comments

Talk of Nintendo using Tegra 2 gained support today through new sources of information that also point to a faster Sony PSP. Detailed explanations given to DigitalFoundry say the sequel to the DSi should use the future NVIDIA processor and not only see a “colossal” jump in speed versus the DS line but could be as fast as the Wii while supporting more visual effects.

That same source also clarifies for the chip itself and says it will be based on the much more recent ARM11 architecture instead of the existing ARM7 design or the rumored ARM9. The combination CPU and graphics core would double the number of texture units and shader (visual effects) cores and theoretically render twice as much at once. While it’s expected to use GeForce 5000-level graphics generations behind NVIDIA’s desktop hardware, it’s likely to use the same 40 nanometer manufacturing process that will drive the upcoming GeForce 300 series and so could run at a higher clock speed while still using less power than the Tegra shipping today.

It’s not known how Nintendo would use the added performance, though it would allow driving the two screens of a DS-like handheld with a single processor, even when at higher resolutions than the existing system. Similarly, it would permit HD video playback and much more complex 3D.

The PSP leak supports rumors that it will use a quad-core SGX543 from Imagination’s PowerVR label and could be significantly faster than the next Tegra if apps and games are optimized for the Sony handheld. Its performance could theoretically sit between the Xbox and Xbox 360.

Release windows for the two aren’t definite and will depend on production schedules for the chips themselves. Tegra 2 will start production in 2010 and could lead to a new system arriving the same year. The SGX543 is more dependent on other companies and may not arrive until 2011 depending on who Sony would have picked to produce the final processor.

While the iPhone can potentially receive a speed upgrade next year, either the Nintendo or Sony releases could significantly intensify competition for Apple, whose iPod touch and iPhone are much faster than the DS and PSP while supporting more online features. The feature gap has put DS sales at risk and prompted reactions at both Nintendo and Sony, which have responded with the DSi LL and PSP Go as well as much more Internet-aware software.

New DS Accessories, Nintendo DS Screen Protector

August 13th, 2009 admin No comments

Today, I want to share with you all about the new Nintendo DS Accessories, Nintendo DS Lite Screen Protector.

I guess lot of nintendo users including myself have experience with scratching on DS.

So, I tried an universal screen protector for Nintendo DS.

This screen protector’s unique material enhances your screen by reducing the distractive glare that is caused by reflected light. The surface is smooth and not textured like other screen protectors on the market. Installation of the Screen protector is very easy is to apply, and leaves not residue when removed.

After installing the ColorDrives’ Screen protectors I played a few games and found the experience to be quite rewarding. This protector was just as easy to install and looked great after it was applied. You could not really even notice a difference between the naked display and the display with the Crystal protectors applied.

I already have a Nintendo DS Lite charger!

June 7th, 2009 admin No comments

Yet, you are still reading this far, which means that you have been considering buying another one. Which you should. How easily do things get lost around your place of work? Around your house? Around your school or after-school activity area? If you are prone to loosing things easily, you may want to consider getting a new charger for your Nintendo DS Lite.

Even if things do not get lost easily, what is to say that Missy, the dog, will not go chewing? (Note: You should probably keep all electrical cords away from Missy.) It is very important that you do the right kind of research on the internet.

Even if you are not prone to loosing things easily, you may go back and forth between many different places. Why not have two chargers: One for school and one for home? Alternatively, if your parents are divorced, one for each of your parent’s houses? Alternatively, why not one for work and one for home?

In addition, if you are going on a long trip, you can get a second one to take on the trip. That way, if you loose it somewhere along the way, you can simply replace it when you get home with your other one. Consider getting a car charger, too, for those long hours while you are in the car.

If you are a serious gamer and the type to never stop gaming, a second charger is most definitely for you. Why? Well, what happens when you loose or misplace your other charger and cannot play? Then what? Are you going to want to wait five days for the charger to get there in the mail? No, you are not. That is why you should get your charger now, before something happens to your only charger. Are you really going to let $10 stop you from a whole day of gaming?

Remember the Boy Scout motto? “Be prepared.” In addition, that is what you wan to do here. Because not having your Nintendo DS when it randomly dies will make you wish you had spent the ten bucks so you could play it. So, be prepared, and be happy knowing that you are going to never have to go without playing your favorite game.

Unless, of course, you are like me, and will loose both, in which case I recommend two Nintendo DS lite chargers.

Nintendo DS. I have heard about it. Why should I get it?

June 3rd, 2009 admin No comments

If you are interested in seeking a Nintendo DS! That is awesome news. Nintendo DS gaming systems are very popular, so having one will rank you higher on the gamer’s popularity chart. Once you get the Nintendo DS, you will be able to converse about it freely and will be able to hold your own in a conversation.

Remember the old adage, “You don’t know it until you play it!” Okay, maybe that is not an adage, but the point is still the same. There are new features added on each day and they help a great deal. Gamers really enjoy playing them so that they can have a good time paying these. There are lots of people from all the world who really love the gaming and people have a very good time playing these games.

Therefore, you know that a Nintendo DS is great. However, you do not know why. You have heard that it has good graphics, but doesn’t every gaming system claim to have good graphics? Even those who produced the first computers (which are now ancient and can take up an entire room) claimed to have good graphics. In addition, they did, for a time.

What happened to my Nintendo DS?

June 1st, 2009 admin No comments

So you’ve been playing your game for awhile now and having just the best time playing it. That is great! There is just one problem: Your Nintendo DS is now “dead”, and you have absolutely no idea as to why. You have browsed through the instructions and you think you found the problem:

You forgot to charge your Nintendo DS. Alternatively, you accidentally left your Nintendo DS on all night and it drained the battery. Perhaps your younger sister hit the “on” button and you did not realize it in time. However it happened, you are sure your new Nintendo DS is most definitely out of battery power.

That is perfectly okay. Everyone takes awhile to get used to something new. There is just one problem: For some reason, your Nintendo DS did not come with a charger. On the other hand, maybe it came with a charger, but you do not know how to find it. So what do you do?

There are many options available in these games and people do have a great time paying these it is full of fun and enjoyment. There are many people all over the world have a great time playing this game and there are something’s new added each day so there is nothing to get bored about.

Here is the easiest answer: Buy a new one. If you are wincing at the thought of shelling out another ten bucks, relax. Spending ten bucks will actually allow you to use your Nintendo DS which you spent a hundred bucks for.

You know you love how great your Nintendo DS is and you would really like to play it. As you said before, however, it is dead—and you cannot play it. Which stinks, because you were almost to the next level of your game before it simply, randomly, crashed? I hope that you or your game saved your progress. Have a good time and enjoy.

So, you are mad that you have to buy a charger. Relax. They are usually only about ten bucks. In addition, it is worth it. Besides, with your charger plugged in, you will be able to enjoy hours of endless fun with your Nintendo DS system, and never have to worry about taking a break. Except, maybe, to sleep.

Why you should get a Nintendo DS lite?

May 26th, 2009 admin No comments

It may seem like Nintendo is always coming out with new stuff. Which is good for you, right? It is excellent for you because you like Nintendo and they make excellent, good-quality stuff. Wondering when they were going to come out with the next best thing? Well, they already have, and it has called a Nintendo DS lite. Heard of the Nintendo DS? Then you know how cool they are. If you have not heard of the lite (or even if you have), read on. People from the entire world like this a great deal and enjoy this a lot. There are plenty of games in the market, which can be played, and you will be spoilt for choice.

Here are a few reasons why you should consider getting one. Remember, there is an incredibly long list, and they are not all listed here. In addition, you should keep in mind that it is by Nintendo—and anything Nintendo makes is good. If that’s not a selling point to you, though:

  • 3D graphics that’ll make you say “Wow”
  • A bright screen (hence the lite)
  • Excellent portable games
  • You can take it absolutely anywhere
  • You can connect to Wireless Wi-Fi connection and hang out and challenge players of different states or different countries
  • The popularity level surrounding the Nintendo DS
  • The thousands of games that it comes with
  • It’s good for any age or grade
  • It’s from Nintendo—so you know that it’s goodIt is great for long trips. It is great for playing on the beach when you really do not feel like going swimming. It is great for when you are bored and cannot get on the computer. No matter where you are, this is a handy one to be played with you your near and dear ones anywhere you decide to go.

    Also, your Nintendo DS lite can be just yours and you can use it in your room when you just need to “chill”, or in the car during an incredibly long (or even a short) drive, when you’re bored and don’t feel like getting your homework done right away, and when you’re trying to relax while the rest of your family members are watching a movie (thus hogging the gaming console for the PS2 or xBox) or using the computer.
