[DS] Electro

Posted By: chris28

Electro is a falling blocks game. You should make a connection from one side of the screen to the other with the same type blocks. You can downgrade once a selected cube with down or B key (blue triangle become green circle, red square become blue triangle ...). Make combo (multiplicate points) with followed lines.



Two modes are available. In puzzle game, you should move cubes vertically. New lines appears automatically at the bottom of puzzle but you can add them with L or R key.

Enjoy it !

Powder v1.05 - Rogue Clone for PSP/GBA/NDS

Posted By: wraggster

Jeff has released a new version of his Rogue clone for the Nintendo DS/GBA and also the PSP, heres whats new:

My time in Japan prevented me from making a release (I had turned off two of the machines I need to build on), but it didn't prevent me from working on POWDER. There are lots of various changes including new items and skills. There is also a new 32x32 tileset that you can find in the artpack thanks to Ibson the Grey.


[All but GBA]: When you load a game, the fact you have loaded it is immediately saved. This means you can no longer power down before you die to avoid save scumming. (Eilu, Zach Firth)
Familiars always leave corpses to facillitate their resurrection.
Petrified creatures count to your kill total
You are only punished for the death of a familiar when the death becomes irrevocable.
The party guilty for creating traps, lava, etc, is now tracked so proper responsibility can be assigned. (Andrew Poandl)
Dodge Skill's "foes" properly 'ified. (David Damerell)
Extra flavour text from Eilu.
Ricochet skill for arrows. (Furrot)
You can climb trees. (Adam Boyd)
When a bitmap has to many colours, it now fails more gracefully. (Ibson the Grey)
An embarassing mistake in combat calcs has been fixed. It is now the attacker's skill, not the defender's, used to roll attack bonus. This will mean weapon skills are more necessary and make monsters more threatening since they always default to 2 stars.
Jumping out of a pit only moves you one square. (Irashtar)
Incorrect there in helm of draining description (Mark Rushakoff)
Adjusted some monster sizes to better reflect how I envision them. Hopefully this doesn't affect food nutrition balance too much. (David Damerell)
When you die your options are saved even if you don't make the high score table. (Zappa Penguin)
Knock no longer closes the door if an item or creature blocks it.
Knock cast on doors with creatures on them will knock them back and damage them slightly. (Lim-Dul)
Light radius for creatures on fire increased to 2 from 1 to make it a bit less subtle. (R. Dan Henry)
[Start] and [Select] can be used to enter and shift respectively on the on-screen keyboard. (Zappa Penguin)
You can eat water elementals, but be warned there might still be some life in them. (Eilu)
Polying into or polying back into gargantuan forms will crush any walls that would entrap you. (Korgoth)
Flaming swords slightly nerfed to 1d3 fire damage to prevent them from being such an obvious weapon choice.
New item: lightning rapier. (Terje)
New item: ice mace.
Imps summoned by demons that you summon will no longer attack you provided the demon stil lives.
Monsters should now open doors if they are smart enough. (Derek Ray)
New monster: Kobold Thief.
You can now wish to learn a skill directly rather than having to acquire the specific book.
"wizard's hands" in chilling touch description, "an uber-storm" for a living frost, along with an extra hyphen in that description. Description of Pax clarified to resolve amiguous sentence and disarm skill description has an s returned to it. Finally, another lost s added to the flesh golem description. (R. Dan Henry)
"You gain insight into the nature of foo." now has a full stop. (David Damerell)
Ibson the Grey has produced a new 32x32 tileset based on the rltiles to give you some high resolution POWDER experience. Since this isn't the 16x16 res, it doesn't come packaged with POWDER but has to be installed manually from the artpack.

DesMuMe mods 0.7.3 mod3 released

Posted By: JKKDARK

New version of the Nintendo DS emulator for PC.

Changelog:

-Added Alpha-test in 3D core, no more color squares around the textures
-Fixed blending in 3D core
-Implemented GXFIFO IRQ : this is a ugly hack but games needing this (ie. New Super Mario Bros) now work
-Fixed depth clearing in 3D core, this fixes black sky bug in Mario64
-Implemented 3D PosTest, this fixes a mini-game in RRR2 (next version will probably feature BoxTest and VecTest)
-Noticeable speed-up, thanks to Shash (now executes 16 instructions at a time)
-Fixed 2 bugs in sound core (loop feature) :
-----Fixed sound length being increased on multiple channel status (key-on) writes
-----Added ability to write Loopstart and Length registers while sound is playing
-----For info : these fixes also fix garbage sound when using "Fold NDS" option
-Added a sound resampling func
-The GUI now uses DirectDraw to display the framebuffer
-----This was hard to implement, but it is WAY faster and better than GDI
-----When you stretch the window, the emu doesn't slow down and the image keeps beautiful (not pixellized)
-----If DirectDraw init fails, the emu will simply use GDI instead
-----DirectDraw is not used when using rotation
-Added CPU low-power mode, this allows RaymanDS to show 3 intros (it is better, but it still doesn't work)
-Fixed 2 bugs in capture unit :
-----Captured bitmap was "invisible" due to alpha values not set.
-----The captured image was only the half of the requested size (128 pixels in width instead of 256)
-----These fixes fix some NSMB/Mario64 mini-games, displaying 3D on both screens (no more flicker, but 3D is still reversed )
-----Now, DeSmuME is able to pass 4/6 tests (see further posts, NDS graphic test app)
-Added some hacks in VRAM handling, the sprites in NSMB minigames look correct, but now the pause buttons are incorrect (I plan to rewrite all VRAM handling in next release, current handling is crappy, plenty of TODO and FIXME)
-Wiimote support is not ready, so disabled

Posted By: madcat1990

Again...bored...and wanted to make a game for the ds...something simple...

So here it is!

MemorizeME!

How do you play?
Well, the game will display some squares, you will then have to memorize the exact order and reproduce that same order (Trust me, when you start playing you'll understand this )

Anyways, screenies:

Main Menu:


In Game:

(don't worry it will have more squares as you go on!)

GameOver:


just a reminder this is a Work In Progress. And this release is only a demo :3

as you will see only the "Play Now!" button works, later on, the new game will have difficulties and etc...

Yup, Skate It Is Coming To Wii, Nintendo DS

Posted By: wraggster

It won't come as any surprise that EA is planning Wii and Nintendo DS "spin off" versions of its skateboarding franchise skate—IGN spilled the beans accidentally in April—but you might be surprised at how good it looks. It might not be on par visually with the Xbox 360 and PS3 entries, but Skate It, at least based on the trio of screen shots IGN secured, looks pretty good.

Skate It looks to replace the dual analog control scheme from the original skate with a Wii remote-only method that looks serviceable based on the promo video. As expected, the game also plans to use the soon to be release Wii Fit Balance Board, but executive producer Scott Blackwood is light on details.

Sony So Aren't Competing With Microsoft Or Nintendo

Posted By: wraggster

Sony makes a games machine. Heck, they make three of them that people are still buying. So they're in competition with Nintendo and Microsoft, who also makes games machines, right? Nope! Kaz Hirai told MCV at this week's SCEE event in Europe that Sony have bigger fish to fry than the world's #1-selling gaming company and the world's #1-selling software company:

I think that PS3, PS2 and PSP are all entertainment platforms so I feel that our competition is not Microsoft or Nintendo, but basically any form of entertainment that is competing for the consumers' attention.
So we need to make sure we offer the most compelling entertainment - not videogame entertainment but in entertainment in general. I can't speak for their strategy but I like to think that we've got a very well balanced portfolio with PS3, PSP and you can't discount the PS2.

Hear that, Nintendo? You're so one-dimensional. Maybe put an album together, release a movie or two, then you'll be running with the big dogs.

What Game Makes You Pull Your Hair Out?

Posted By: wraggster

Ready to bend our ear? 'Cause the Tell Us Dammit Giraffe is ready to listen. That's right, it's time for TUD. We've got a feature here on Kotaku called "Tell Us Dammit" or "TUD." How it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn't some marketing survey or whatever. It's an emotional investment in you. Yes, we're interesting in knowing you, Kotaku reader person. You probably know ****tons about us — more than you even want to, we're sure. But, hey, we'd like to know about you. That way you won't be some faceless blob — and we might feel a tinge of guilt when we ban your ass. Or not, because really we're incapable of human emotion. Today's question:

What game is TOO HARD for you?

Call of Duty 5 Already Playable

Posted By: wraggster

Sources tell us that the upcoming Call of Duty 5 game in development is already playable, and currently going through quality assurance.

Treyarch is also said to be the developer, and the title, we're told, is set in a WWII Pacific environment and will be using Call of Duty 4's engine, the same engine on which the upcoming James Bond: Quantum of Solace movie game is being built.

Yesterday, on the company's call to investors, Activision publishing CEO Mike Griffith said CoD5 would be coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and DS, in addition to a return for the franchise to PS2 and Wii for the first time in two years.

What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Posted By: wraggster

Last night we had a bit of a gaming bender at Kotaku Towers West, a night filled with Wii Fit, We Ski, and Rock Band. The highlight, of course, was a two hour Cruis'n session—the Wii shitware title that was finally freed from its shrinkwrap confines last night to much amusement. It's absolutely the most unintentionally hilarious game I've ever played, with some of the sloppiest game design ever... even for a Cruis'n title. Rarely has a game brought me to tears with laughter, so Cruis'n should at least be lauded for that. Highly recommended for your next game night, especially if booze is available.

This weekend I'll be ditching the Cruis'n as I get back to R-Type Command and continue my Rock Band duties, now with added Boston. How about you? Weekend plans?
