Hudson Entertainment, the North American publishing arm of Hudson Soft, today announced Bomberman Land for the Wii and the PSP (PlayStationPortable) system, and Bomberman Land Touch! 2 for the Nintendo DS are now available at retail. Published by Hudson and distributed in North America by Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., all three versions are now available for a suggested retail price of $29.99 each.
Bomberman Land brings an exciting single player campaign element to the Bomberman property while holding true to the multiplayer mode that has
made it so popular in the past. The series troduces a multitude of attractions, many of which can be played in multiplayer mode. Both the PSP system and Wii feature 50 attractions. While the Wii version
is full of interactive games that use intuitive Wii Remote controls, all of the PSP system's attractions can be played and shared in multiplayer. The Nintendo DS version features more than 40 types of
attractions that either use the stylus or the microphone to play. In addition, the Bomberman Land series contains a robust single-player
Story Mode, where adventurers explore a fantasy land, take on quests and solve puzzles to restore the peace and tranquility of the beleaguered Bomberman world.
The biggest feature on each platform is the classic multiplayer Bomberman experience that gamers know and love. The PSP system and Nintendo DS allow up to four players to compete globally. While both versions offer shared multiplay, the Nintendo DS title allows eight people to play locally. The Wii version, on the other hand, features six "Battle Modes": Normal, Points, Stars, Crown, All-Out and a Wii exclusive mode designed specifically for the Wii Remote. Each "Battle Mode" includes 20 maps, making it the game to have for the ultimate
party.
"As one of the most recognizable video game franchises in the industry, the Bomberman series has always been known for its fun and addictive
gameplay, and these three new installments are no exception," said John Greiner President and CEO of Hudson Entertainment. Packed with fun attractions, a compelling single-player mode and a competitive
multiplayer experience, these new games will keep players coming back for more."

Activision has registered the trademark "Guitar Hero On Tour" in the US, but the publisher's British representatives had no comment to make on that this morning.
Inevitably there is speculation that this could be the name of the DS version of Guitar Hero mooted last year.
It's certainly not the name of anything on Activision's release schedule, and the publisher is another of those spoilsports that refuses to comment on rumours or speculation.
Developer Vicarious Visions has previously hinted at an actual peripheral to go with the DS game, although we somehow doubt it will be an enormous PS3/360-style guitar that you plug in to the cartridge port or anything.
We asked Activision for more details on the DS version of Guitar Hero and they told us to go away, which is fair enough because it was two in the morning and how did we get their home address.

We almost forgot a Wii version of Animal Crossing was on the cards, but Nintendo's Japan outfit has decided to remind us by slapping a dirty great "2008" release date on the dig-'em-up via a financial report.
Wii Music and Disaster: Day of Crisis have also been re-confirmed for 2008, along with a Wii Kirby game.
It's encouraging to see that the Wii instalment of Animal Crossing (announced alongside the 'Revolution' in 2005) finally has something that looks like a release date. But as its a Japanese date; North America and Europe could have to wait until 2009 before we get our dirty mitts on it (especially with all that text).
We still don't know anything about it either, although we reported on the MMO rumour (via Edge) late last year.
We'll be happy either way as long as Nintendo don't just do a quick "extra Wi-Fi and Famicom games" bodge job. No more N64 graphics, please!

West Yorkshire police have figured out an ingenious way to track down the owners of stolen Wiis; by using the console's Miis.
When a Wii was stolen by a 32-year-old man arrested earlier this month, the Northern (to us, anyway) coppers used the console's 16 Miis to call out for the poor original owner, who's left with only a Wii-shaped dust hole on their carpet.
16 Miis are stored on the system, say police, with names including Seb, Pheebes, Nicks and Evie. Sounds like it might've belonged to Pokemon trainer Gary.
"The Nintendo Wii looks new and is thought to have been stolen before January 1," said Officer Neil Johnson in a statement, possibly after eating a plate of Northern favourite chips 'n gravy.
"It may have been a Christmas present. If anyone has devised these characters listed and the Wii has gone missing, then please contact us urgently."
Police have the console's ID number and are calling for anyone who can claim the Wii to phone them.
The moral of this story then is clearly that if you're going to nick a Wii, delete the bloody Miis before you try and sell it down the pub.

Nintendo has told Eurogamer the latest rumours to emerge about Mario Kart Wii are nothing more than speculation.
As reported by Aussie-Nintendo, Nmag Gamepro magazine claims the game will feature 32 courses - half of which will be brand new, half old favourites.
The mag also claims Baby Peach and Boo will appear as drivers, snaking will make a comeback, Battle mode will be playable online and the controls will be similar to those in Excite Truck.
Or not. According to a spokesperson, "Nintendo has not announced any further information on Mario Kart. We've spoken to the magazine and it's just pure rumour and speculation on their part."
So what do we know about MK Wii? It'll work with the new Wii steering wheel, and up to 12 players will be able to race online. Plus it's got motorbikes. For more info, visit the gamepage. Mario Kart Wii is due out in the first half of this year.

NanaOn-Sha's Masaya Matsuura has said that developers in Japan are beginning to question the longevity of the DS format and its appeal to a gaming audience.
The respected Japanese developer observed that the younger consumer is very conservative when it comes to new software, and that titles aimed at a more mature market are not having the impact they did when the format first launched in the region.
"Some people have said already that the DS software's bubble has burst," commented Matsuura to Gamasutra.
"We have to keep increasing the chance to make more unique titles, but for us it's getting much more difficult because the game market - especially in Japan - is still very conservative.
"Many people know that the DS has very unique titles, like Brain Training, or something like that, but it's not for younger-aged market. It's kind of older people, like me."
With multiple developers and publishers jumping on the bandwagon to create 'training' style games, Matsuura said that sales of such titles have inevitably tanked.
"[One company I know has] some kind of learning type of game. The first one sold over 200,000, but the second one is 8,000. So these kind of things are going to happen," he said.

While the Nintendo Wii's hardware may be sub par compared to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – and is unlikely to enjoy the full potential of three physics engines – motion control enthusiasts will be able to enjoy five exclusive levels in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
According to Krome Studios' Ed Tucker (via CVG), "On the Wii we have places where the story veers off and we go and explore something, take the game in a different direction, like the Jedi Temple level." Krome is handling the Wii, PSP and PS2 versions of the title. No mention of exclusive content PS3 and Xbox 360 owners might have.

As you know, DS is already capable of streaming audio, so i thought why not video?
If this project is successful, it should be able to stream live tv on the ds.
I'm not much of a programmer so i'll need help creating this.
Whoever is willing to participate in this project feel free to contact me at bboyzahid@hotmail.com

While I should have been working on Colors!, I couldn't really stop thinking about a new project. It's hopefully only a short detour, since it's close to finished now. I wanted to throw a pre-release out there for some testing. If a few people would like to try it out and let me know how it works on other flashcarts, I would appreciate it very much.

* Doesn't restart properly if you die in combat
* The sound sounds "metallic"

Five schools in Worcestershire have been using the Wii in physical education classes to encourage youngsters to get active.
The initiative is being lead by the Droitwich and Worcester City School Partnership, which boasted positive heart rate-quickening results to UK newspaper the The Daily Mail.
"The use of computer games to increase physical activity levels and raise attainment to some would seem contradictory, but with rigid structures in place and by using specific games students soon found themselves being active and engaged almost without realising it," enthused a spokesperson for the Partnership.
But not everyone sees the benefit. The Mail claims a recent study proved playing a game on Wii only expends 2 per cent more energy than playing on traditional consoles.
And Nick Seaton from the Campaign for Real Education is worried it will encourage children to play videogames instead of doing conventional exercise.
"I think most sensible parents will think this is surrendering to the laziest pupils, it cannot possibly be any replacement for serious games and competition between peer group," said Seaton.
As we all know videogames are often cast as villainous in the mainstream media, blamed for causing children to eat less healthily and burn less calories and attack old ladies and play quiz games.
Slightly ironic that Nintendo should come under fire for moving away from a seated gaming environment then, particularly as its new Wii Fit product quite literally tells you how fat you are before making you bob around and head footballs.
"We now want to turn the living room into a fitness centre for the whole family," said Nintendo UK marketing mouth Dawn Paine. "Perish the thought, but video games can now make you fit."
Apparently as many as one in five boys and girls will be obese by 2020. Hover boards to follow.
