Nintendo DS sees flurry of new announcements; more online details

At a press conference in Tokyo earlier this month, Nintendo (as well as Famitsu magazine) lifted the lid on a host of new, never-before-announced DS games; many of which are compatible with the company’s brand-new WiFi Connection service, which was also elaborated on. Amongst the most intriguing titles announced include a new Wario platformer, new Castlevania, “Archaic Sealed Heat”, a new RPG from Mistwalker, a new Phoenix Wright title. Sudoku and jigsaw puzzles are also on the way - possibly as budget titles? Detect Hacker is a Nintendo title set with anime graphics set in modern-day Tokyo. Mario Basket 3 vs 3 is, surprisingly enough, a Mario basketball game, with three suprises - impressive 3D graphics, full online capability via the WiFi Connection, as well as reportedly being developed in conjunction with Square-Enix. Now that would be strange. A new Brain Training title was also confirmed for release this side of Christmas in Japan, which, given its predecessors stellar sales performance in recent months, is sure to light up the sales charts.

In a move sure to strike fear and loathing into the hearts of gamers everywhere, Nintendo have also announced the existence of, wait for it- a new RPG starring Tingle. Words fail me at this point, so in the absence of further information, we’ll move ever-swiftly onwards. For all available details on the games revealed, see the news story we posted here.

Nintendo have also been talking a lot recently about their new online service. Nintendo have re-iterated that all their games will be free to play online, although third-parties may decide to charge a fee. As previously announced, Mario Kart will spearhead the company’s first serious foray into online gaming- although it has seen its European release date slip back two weeks to November 25th. To improve access to their WiFi service, Nintendo are releasing a special USB dongle that simply plugs in to the USB port of a broadband-enabled computer. As if by magic, your computer become a WiFi hotspot. This nifty gadget will be released alongside Mario Kart and shouldn’t cost any more than £30, although exact pricing remains unconfirmed. As for the actual online play, Nintendo are offering three connection methods to find players:

* Online, 2-4 players can play against each other (8 player not available).
* Online choice of opponents: Friends Only (players registered as Friends), Rivals (players with similar skills, found via an online matchmaker), Recent Opponents, Regional Racers (players in your country), World Racers (players anywhere in the world).
* Online, there's no limit to the choice of course, and it is chosen by players voting for a course. The track with the most votes wins (in the event of a tie, a random course is played).

Sounds good, eh? You can be sure that Revo-Europe will be organising a host of Mario Kart competitions in the very near future- let us know your ideas on the format it might take. Unfortunately, living in a non-broadband enabled area of Ireland, I’ll have to watch on jealously.
 
Staff members of IGN recently got their hands on a preview copy of Metroid Prime Pinball, which includes the new Rumble Pak DS device for the Nintendo DS system.

It’s sad to hear that the rumbling device is a noisy one, but like they say, there might be something wrong with their cartridge. Let’s hope for the later one. If we all remember what people said about it from E3 2005, the rumble pak was feeling great and far from being what IGN got their hands on. Like Daigasso! Band Brothers Request Selection cartridge, the Rumble Pak DS will display in the system menu screen as “DS Option Pak inserted” when in use.

Gamers will be able to experience the rumbling fun of Metroid Prime Pinball, as the title will be hitting the shelves early next week along with Real Time Conflict: Shogun Empires and The Sims 2. MPP is the only title for now that includes the rumble feature, but more upcomming titles in development will begin using it too. There is no official word yet if or when the Rumble Pak DS will be available in stores.

:D :D
Sehr gute Sache das Rumble Pack in ein GBA-Modul zu integrieren !!!
 
Ich hab's ja immer gewußt, dass wir noch so'n RumblePack für den GBA-Slot bekommen. Kann man damit dann endlich beim Wecker das Rumble-Feature nutzen? Echt net schlecht....hoffentlich is das auch stark genug, bei der flachen bauweise. Was jetzt noch fehlt, wär ne grafikerweiterung. 8-)
 
When playing Metroid Prime Pinball, we can hear the rumble mechanism more than we can feel the rumble effects in the system. It's so loud, in fact, that it sounds like a metallic "chirp" whenever the rumble is activated.

hört sich ja nicht grad berauschend an. aber es ist immerhin kostenlos, wie IGN ebenfalls anmerkte.

kaufen würde ich es mir allerdings nicht, wenn es mal einzeln in den handel kommt...
 
Either our cartridge is broken, or the DS Rumble Pak is one of the noisiest Rumble Paks Nintendo has ever built. When playing Metroid Prime Pinball, we can hear the rumble mechanism more than we can feel the rumble effects in the system. It's so loud, in fact, that it sounds like a metallic "chirp" whenever the rumble is activated.

so stehts auf IGN. Wohl der preis für die flache bauweise. is ja klar, je kleiner der radius, desto schneller muß sich so'n excenter drehen, um die selbe wirkung zu erreichen. :cry:
 
heidanei sind das schöne aussichten. :)

recht viele Ideen kommen für den NDS

und die Anime mädels schauen ja süss aus :)

Sag ich doch schon die ganze Zeit :) .
Der NintendoDS wird in der 2. 3. Generation an die PSP rankommen und das noch mit einer ordentlichen Akkuleistung.
 
das isnd nur gezeichnete Bilder das schafft sogar der GBA ohne Probleme ;)
Wenn ich mir dagegen Tenchu ansehe stell ich fest der DS ist weit von der PSP entfernt. Was mich aber eigentlich nicht wirklich stört..... DENN ES GIBT KEIN MARIO KART AUF DER PSP :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
