Combine mysterious islands, cel-shaded loveliness and stylus-operated adventuring, and what do you get - why, the DS's gorgeous looking Legend of Zelda title, Phantom Hourglass, that's what!
These four new screenshots have just ghosted in from the Leipzig Games Covention, and are a fine showcase of the game's refreshing 'cartoon' look, and top-down style. The action follows on from the events of Wind Waker, and is powered by an almost exclusive control of the stylus.
Tapping the playing area makes Link move, making sweeping motions swings his sword, and drawing a path for his boomerang makes it easier to down those tricky-to-reach targets. And it even works on the map too, enabling you to scribble down important notes and chart ship courses through that hazardous fog.
With two-player WiFi gaming added into the bargain, this cel-shaded, stylus-happy Zelda outing should prove a bit of a success on the ol' DS. But of course, that's just our hunch. You can drool over these screens before the game hits its expected release date of Q4 this year.

Earlier this year, Nintendo unveiled a digital TV tuner for the Dual Screen with the wordy name the DS Terrestrial Digital Broadcast Receiver Card. With this add-on, folks will be able to watch digital One-Seg broadcasts, which began in Japan only on April 1, 2006. In a nutshell, it brings the HD TV viewing experience to the DS. Great for Japanese folks, but what about the rest of us? Game site DS-Vault enlightens:
The USA actually has more aggressive plans for the cessation of analog broadcasts; they're shooting for the end of analog broadcasts as early as February 2009. That does not mean, however, that the USA will be introducing One-Seg—in fact, there is no indication that digital broadcasts in America will be anything more than "digital versions" of existing analog broadcasts. Even if the USA were to introduce some sort of standard similar to One-Seg, there is an extremely slim chance that it would be compatible with the DS One-Seg Tuner.
Fingers crossed that Nintendo or some third-party maker will eventually introduce a digital tuner based on American or European standards.

Two Nintendo fan sites are claiming that "inside sources" have informed them that pink and black DS Lites are coming to North America in September.
Random Nintendo claims:
A reliable, retail source close to Random Nintendo recently informed us that Nintendo is gearing up for the release of two new DS Lite colors next month. According to our source, both black and pink DS Lite colors will be brought Stateside on September 10.
4cr says something very similar:
Inside sources tells 4cr that Pink DS lites will start appearing on North American shelves in early/mid September.
If both sites turn out to be true, will you be turning in your white DS Lite for a black or pink version?

As the Leipzig Game Convention opens its doors to the public today, show-goers eager to try out Nintendo's motion-sensing wonder box for the first time will be mighty disappointed to find that it's nowhere to be found on the show floor and is only available for members of the press to play behind closed doors.
The Nintendo stand is dominated entirely by DS Lite, so with Wii nowhere to be seen we asked several third-party publishers attending the event why they weren't showing their Wii titles to the general public and were told that Nintendo had specified that it didn't want any Wii in the hands of the gaming masses.
When we enquired as to why, no one was forthcoming with a response.
Is Nintendo conscious of sharing space on the show floor with other, more graphically impressive games? Does it feel that its machine simply isn't ready to make its playable public debut just yet?
Whatever the reason, it's a shame that Wii hasn't been rolled out for all to see at Leipzig - European gamers attending would surely have been hoping that they would be able to at last try out the console first-hand and decide for themselves whether Wii really has the potential to prove its promise.

Heres an excerpt:
Konami gave DS fans a taste of the portable counterpart today at its San Francisco GC 2006 local event. Though the game played second chair to its bigger brother, the DS version was slick, solid, and stylish, showing that the Winning Eleven series won't just be giving the Fifa franchise a run for its money on the console front, but in the portable realm as well. With a coveted score of 8.1 from Fifa 2006, and a promising first attempt from Pro Evolution Soccer 2007, we may be in store for one heck of a turf-battle this soccer season.
The Winning Eleven series is now the best-selling soccer franchise out there, and that's because of one reason; gameplay. Admittedly, neither of the two games shown at the event (360 and DS) were graphically superb. The 360 version was showing evidence of a port-job from an Xbox or PS2 version, and while there wasn't anything overly problematic about the DS version,

Heres an excerpt
Spryo: A New Beginning is being billed as just what its title implies. In an attempt to bring the fizzling action-platformer more recognition and respect, Sierra has enlisted some heavy-hitting celebrity aid. Hairy-footed Elijah Wood will star as the wide-eyed purple dragon Spyro. David Spade provides backup as the snarky sidekick Sparks, and Gary Oldman weighs in as Spyro's mentor, Ignitus. While voice talent alone can't reinvigorate a franchise, it can't hurt. From playing through a number of levels in the new Spyro, it's obvious there are some more interesting gameplay and action mechanics than we've seen in the past.
Spyro starts this new journey by realizing he's a special dragon. More specifically, he's told by Ignitus he's a purple one, something that only happens once every 10 generations. Apparently Spyro couldn't recognize this, since he was carted off to a different society and believed himself to be one of them. Through Ignitus' tutelage, Spyro slowly learns everything he's capable of as a dragon. This includes flying, breathing fire, melee attacks, and a number of elemental special moves. He'll need them to beat down Cynder, an ill-tempered black dragon trying, like countless other villains, to reawaken an ancient evil

Heres an excerpt
We've been reading it on the boards, hearing it in the chat-rooms, and sifting through it in our emails. It seems to be the question of the month for DS readers, and we felt bad for holding out for oh so long. "Dear IGN. What's the deal with Contact? I don't get what's going on! I hear it's like Earthbound. Explain or I'll hate you!" Well, after many a long night with the game and numerous emails with the developers, we've finally got an answer for you all. What is Contact? You may hate us, but it's really something you'll have to play to truly understand.
Sure it sounds like a bit of a cop-out answer, but take one look at the screens and video and you'll start to see why we've taken that stance on the game after a few hours of play. At the most purest form of the game, Contact is an action RPG that works with two different art styles to depict two separate worlds. In fact, the main character that you play is no other than… yourself. In a style all its own, Contact puts you as the player into a unique position. The bottom line is that the world needs saving, and there's an individual that's been selected for the job. You think that's you, right? Well, it isn't. Instead, you're the link between the worlds, acting as a correspondent between the top screen and bottom screen. You interact with each world, and you do so as yourself. Confused yet? Good.

Remember when Crash Bandicoot wanted to be the PlayStation's mascot? Yeah, that didn't really work out… But the franchise has survived and is now getting the party game treatment on the Nintendo DS in the form of Crash Boom Bang!. We got our mitts on the title recently and are here to report on how it has shaped up.
Crash Boom Bang! plays similarly to Mario Party, in that the characters move around a game board and compete in mini-games along the way. There are 40 bite-sized games to compete in, and they all make use of the touch screen and stylus. Fans of the franchise will see their favorite characters make appearances, as well as a new villain named the Vicount. Seems this devil is looking for something called the "Super Big Power Crystal" (psst, developer Dibbs is a Japanese studio) and he's tricked Crash and friends into competing in the World Cannonball Race and finding the Crystal for him. The winner is promised $100 million.

Heres an excerpt
In the age-old genre of role-playing games, one company has held a steady domination for over two decades. Since its humble beginnings in 1983, Square has set the standard in the world of RPG's. Though the Japanese company is most famous for the Final Fantasy series, there's no denying the worldwide appeal of yet another powerhouse franchise: Dragon Quest. Beginning with Dragon Warrior (English name) in 1986, the franchise has had over two dozen games in the last twenty years, featuring full-fledged sequels, portable ports, and spin-off games, teamed with a ton of merchandising. It's no wonder, then, that one of the most famous and constant cast members got his own game. Slime, used in nearly every Dragon Warrior and Dragon Quest game since the series debut, now has his own game to star in, as Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime readies itself for a U.S. release.

Heres an excerpt
Forgive me if I seem overly worried, but usually, handing off your most prized franchise to an outside developer always seems really dodgy. Especially when said franchise is Final Fantasy, a license to print money if there ever was one. Developed by Matrix Software, with the supervision of Square-Enix, the Nintendo DS version of Final Fantasy III has finally arrived. Fully remade with new graphics, audio and several gameplay changes, this is the first Final Fantasy title to appear on the DS, and it also marks the first time that this particular title has ever appeared outside of Japan.
To get things out of the way, there are actually several differences between the two versions, aside from the obvious visual and audio overhauls. First off, the NES version of the game featured four generic characters that you controlled at the beginning of the game. In the DS version, you start off with one character named Luneth, and you'll eventually pick up the rest of your party along the way. The other characters are Arc, Refia and Ingus, all of whom have significant back stories instead of being simple, generic characters found in the NES version. Since you only start with one character that means choosing jobs - which we'll explain later - also happens later on in the game. Basically, the story starts off with Luneth being approached by one of the great crystals, and tells him of the peril that's facing the world. The game's story moves fairly quickly, and within the first two hours, you're going to get way more story and cool gear than you would in the first ten hours of any other modern RPG. But that's how all of the old school RPGs are; the pacing is excellent and it rarely skips a beat.

Today Konami revealed new gameplay details for their upcoming action role-playing game Lunar Knights. The first Nintendo DS game from Kojima Productions, Lunar Knights is an epic vampire-hunting RPG featuring a night and day mechanic that lets players hunt down the armies of the undead around the clock with two playable characters.
Lunar Knights is set in a bleak future which mixes gothic and sci-fi elements in a world overrun by bloodthirsty vampires. The two heroes -- Lucian, a warrior of the night who harnesses the power of the moon, and Aaron, a gun-toting fighter powered by the rays of the sun -- must work together using their unique abilities to eradicate the dark threat.
During the course of the game, the top screen is used for the 'paraSOL' system which cycles between night and day and generates real-time weather effects, granting additional power to each character's abilities while impacting the types of enemies they encounter. The changing conditions have a major effect on the game's action, shown on the bottom screen of the DS, with Lucian more powerful at night and Aaron growing stronger during the day.
As the pair explores the world of Lunar Knights they are accompanied by one of six Terrennials -- elemental guardians that will help them through the environment and offer assistance in battle. Summoned via the DS touch screen and microphone, players can unleash the unique power of their Terrennial in the form of Burst Attacks, wherein specific movements will create elemental attacks to devastate the armies of the undead.

The official Japanese site for the upcoming Konami title Elebits recently launched. Along with the new site, there is a brand-new trailer which is likely to get several of you (although it should be all of you) excited for the upcoming game. In the trailer, some more of the interactive environments are shown, as well as three players all going at it at once, tearing apart things in a search for those little Elebits.
The idea behind the game is really cool, but imagine if you came home and found some lunatic in your house, ripping apart your silverware drawer or pulling out your prize-winning carrots from the ground, all in some crazed search for these Elebits. Personally, we wouldn't stand for it.

Following the recent impressive-yet-slightly-silly trailer for Red Steel, IGN has obtained a large quantity of artwork for the game. While the character models and environments have been criticized for being bland and graphically unimpressive, the art style of the game is undeniably beautiful.
