Natsume Inc., a worldwide developer and publisher of family-oriented video games, announced today that the company's full videogame lineup for 2008 is now available at retail, including the most recent release of Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon for the Nintendo DS. Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon joins Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, Princess Debut and Hi! Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Challenge (all for DS) and Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility (for Wii) to complete its 2008 holiday lineup.
"This has been a great year for Natsume as we continued our Harvest Moon series with three brand new Harvest Moon adventures this fall. Add to that some adorable educational fun with Hi! Hamtaro: Ham Ham Challenge and our hugely popular new original IP, Princess Debut and there is truly something for everyone on your list," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume.
For more information on each of Natsume's 2008 holiday lineup see the descriptions below. Each title is rated E for everyone by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) and are available at retailers nationwide.
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness (DS) $29.99
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness brings the largest portable Harvest Moon experience ever to the Nintendo DS. Starting off with an abandoned farm, a handful of seeds, and the determination to start a new life, it's up to the player to develop a mysterious, abandoned island into a bustling tropical paradise. By harvesting crops, raising animals, and mining for precious gems, gamers will help the island grow into a vibrant town filled with people, businesses, and eligible bachelors and bachelorettes. Players can take on the role of a male or a female, and choose who they want to fall in love and start a family with. Gamers can also test their farming skills against each other and compete for prizes via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness is now available for an MSRP of $29.99.
Princess Debut (DS) $29.99
The critics are raving about Natsume's new IP Princess Debut. GRRLGamer calls Princess Debut a "breath of fresh air", Cool Moms Rule says the game is "an anime version of Cinderella", and The Globe and Mail calls it "high quality gaming for girls fascinated by the fantasy princess lifestyle."
In Princess Debut, players find themselves in a fantasy world where they have 30 days to get ready for the big ball; they'll have to master their dance moves and win over one of the six handsome princes to be their partner. They'll meet and woo the princes through the game's large, branching storyline. Once the player convinces a prince to be their dancing partner, it's time to go out on the dance floor! By utilizing the Touch Screen, players guide their character gracefully across the dance floor while matching their partner's rhythm. All of the dances in the game are taken from motion-captured professional dancers, so the game is just as impressive to watch as it is fun to play. Princess Debut offers four modes of play including Story, Ballroom, Practice, and Movie. With 20 outfits to find, 14 unique endings to experience, and 18 different kinds of music and dance styles to choose from (including Waltz, Latin Dance, Tango, Ballroom, and much more), there's no shortage of things to see and do! Princess Debut is now available for an MSRP of $29.99.
Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon (DS) $29.99
Rune Factory 2 is set several years after the first game. The evil Sechs Empire has been defeated, and the Kingdom of Norad is once again at peace. Things may not stay that way for long, however, as dark premonitions foretell of dangers to come. It's up to the player to uncover the source of these premonitions and bring peace to the kingdom once more. Over the course of the story, players will build and develop a farm, befriend townspeople, raise monsters, take on quests, and find a wife. In a first for the Rune Factory series, the story of Rune Factory 2 is multigenerational. Players begin the game as Kyle, a strange man who comes to Alvarna Village. Eventually, players will take on the role of Kyle's child, opening up a whole new adventure. It's an innovative feature that allows players to follow the story of their family and the townsfolk over two generations! Now available for an MSRP of $29.99.
Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility (Wii) $49.99
In Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility, players find themselves in a troubled island town which once prospered with life and energy, but is now in serious trouble. The mystical Mother Tree that once watched over the island has disappeared, and the Harvest Goddess is nowhere to be found! The island has lost its connection with nature and the inhabitants don't know what to do - it's up to the player to save the island! Players will help to rebuild the island by working the land, befriending and raising animals, nurturing friendships, and building a family. When the Mother Tree is reborn, the Harvest Goddess will return and bring prosperity to the island once more. Long-time Harvest Moon fans as well as new players will find an exciting, involving storyline and plenty of activities to experience, including cultivating crops, caring for animals, and participating in festivals. Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility is now available for an MSRP of $49.99.
Hi! Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Challenge (DS) $29.99
Hamtaro and his friends make learning fun in Hi! Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Challenge. Children will not only be entertained by the beloved hamster Hamtaro and his adorable cast of friends, they will also develop their memory, word comprehension, math skills, and many other abilities as they play through the twelve engaging interactive games. The game's easy-to-learn touch screen controls make the game fun and accessible for children of all ages. Parents can take an active role in their child's playing and learning with features that let them monitor their child's progress in each game, adjust the difficulty level to match their child's skills, monitor and control play time, and even reward their child with special items. Hi! Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Challenge for the Nintendo DS is a brain-training game geared at elementary-aged children.

Newly released today:
description
After a mysterious comet falls to earth, strange things begin to happen in the undergrowth. Vegetation and insects begin to take on an intelligent life of their own. As the mushrooms begin to become aware of themselves, societies form (peaceful Bolete, strategic Morel, ambitious Amanita, and mysterious Lepiota). As these societies form, so do ambitions. While some are for peace and prosperity, others want domination and destruction.
Our story begins with the peaceful Bolete village being attacked by mutant beetles. As the beetles begin to rampage the Bolete village, our hero character [players choose from Heavy, Scout or Sage all from the Bolete tribe] must travel on his own to find reinforcements to not only protect his village, but to rescue their beloved chieftain. After enlisting the help of the Amanitas to save the Bolete chieftain, the true ambition of the Amanita society becomes revealed - they plan on enslaving the peaceful Boletes and taking control of the village. It is now up to our Hero to find new allies and rescue his fellow villagers from Amanita enslavement. After an adventurous journey through different landscapes and the help of Bolete allies, the Amanitas are driven away from the Bolete village. But the Amanitas cannot be so easily defeated and vow to return. Will the Amanitas return? Only time will tell.

Newly released today:
description
Time has passed since the 'Rise of the Fungi' and indeed the Amanita and Lepiota societies have brought war to the peaceful Bolete and Morel mushroom tribes. Some among the Mushroom Men believe that the secret to winning the Spore Wars lies in uncovering the facts about the Mushroom's origins. As the Myth states, the mushroom who discovers the truth of their origins is promised the power to change the entire course of evolution, putting the mushroom species at the top of the evolutionary ladder. The tribe that claims this prize can reshape the world any way they see fit. The Amanitas and the Lepiota see the myth as a chance to not only defeat the other nations but also wipe out all their enemies and put their tribes at the forefront of terrestrial evolution.
Even while the Spore War rages, a great quest amongst all four tribes begins: a race to uncover the truth and reshape the evolutionary course of the Earth. Pax, our Bolete hero, must take on this journey by himself. Who will be the first to discover the origin of the Mushroom race? Will the war finally end? As for the humans, they continue to bumble their way through the world completely unaware of the diminutive forces against them.

US mega-retailer Wal-mart says it will offer "tens of thousands" of Nintendo's hard-to-find Wii from today.
Walmart.com is selling Wii units for $249.24, a "value bundle" including the console and accessories for $329, as well as offering a range of cut price deals on software, all while supplies last.
According to Reuters, Wii had sold out on Walmart.com, bestbuy.com and circuitcity.com as of Friday.
Despite Nintendo upping its monthly Wii production rates to 2.4 million consoles per month, the company recently warned that it might not be able to meet demand this Christmas. HMV doesn't
The fact that Walmart.com will be offering so many console is perhaps a good sign then, for US shoppers at least.
We've contacted Nintendo UK to ask whether the company's expecting Wii shortages in the coming weeks, and to see whether it has any advice for shoppers searching for the console, which recently topped online shopper search lists and was eBay's most wanted product too.

This weekend Michael Yum, Executive Producer at PM Studios, spoke to Siliconera about DJ Max Technika. The arcade take on DJ Max has a touch screen which makes it ripe for a DS port and when I asked Yum about one he confirmed DJ Max Technika is in development for the Nintendo DS.
But, wait a second aren’t the DS and DSi the same thing? Yum explains, “For the DS, we’re trying to do something with the DSi, but it’s a big secret. I can’t tell you what we’re doing with it, but the DS and DSi version will be different. It’ll play on both, but the DSi will have more features.” What is the “big secret(s)”? It might have something to do with camera and storage features which PM Studios plans to use for the DSi version of DJ Max Technika.
Keep your eyes peeled for the full DJ Max Technika interview coming later this week!

In battle, Tales of Hearts feels like any other Tales game. Shing and company run on a straight line and input special moves with button commands. This system has some differences like an emotional gauge that replaces technique points and a combination gauge that lets you call out cameo characters like Lloyd Irving, but Tales of Hearts hardly takes advantage of the DS’ touch screen by using it for a menu.
At one time the Tales team was tossing around different ways to use the touch screen. The official Tales of Hearts blog has a concept design which gave players the option of using scribble commands for techniques. While this system was original it was scrapped early on in favor of something more traditional.
What do you think? Are the DS Tales games better off using a tested Tales system with a few tweaks or should Namco Bandai try something new?

While we’re waiting for more epic RPGs to come to the Wii Kemco plans to fill the void with Sorcery Blade. Kemco is hardly synonymous with “RPG” here. Some older gamers may remember Kemco working on Shadowgate and Deja Vu for the NES, but they have a Sorcery series of RPGs for mobile phones.
Sorcery Blade is part of that series. In this game you play as someone in the distant future that does something in the distant future. Yeah, Kemco hasn’t revealed anything the story, but that doesn’t seem to matter since Sorcery Blade’s main draw appears to be blending motion control with turn based combat. One concept Kemco implemented is motion controlled glyph tracing. The game has two player support too.
Sorcery Blade also draws on your Mii data and makes your Miis NPC. I can’t wait to see a town filled with Doremon, Link, and Rastafarian Panda heads. Fortunately, the wait isn’t much longer if you have a Japanese Wii since Sorcery Blade comes out on in two weeks on December 16 for 1,000 Wii Points ($10). No US release has been announced and despite Sorcery Blade being filled with Japanese text I wouldn’t rule one out.

Here’s one game we won’t be seeing on WiiWare this week, Shootanto: Kakohen (loosely: Shootanto: Chapters of History). Japan is getting Shootanto tomorrow and it looks interesting, in a campy D3 Simple series kind of way. At its core Shootanto is basically a WiiWare light gun game where you throw rocks at dinosaurs, lizardmen, and other cliches of the prehistoric era. The twist is within the game’s six stages your character evolves from a monkey to a caveman with fur undergarments.
Grand Prix, the developer, hints that your character can evolve to some kind of super archer and modern day soldier too. In the past games like Shootanto could be shuttled into stores as budget 2,000 yen games, but thanks to digital distribution Shootanto is only 600 Wii Points ($6). At that price Shootanto might be worth checking out just for the laughs and a reason to dust off the Wii Zapper.

Rhythm Cooking is exactly what it sounds like - a cooking rhythm game. They essentially are that to begin with, so it only stands to reason that someone would do it in time to music. Unfortunately the rhythm and cooking parts seem totally separate - or more to the point, you're just playing a rhythm game while the character cooks, and then you get to arrange things afterward. While it does seem like a missed opportunity in some ways, the company did license some decent songs, such as the meme-tastic Ievan Polkka (original). Curious game nonetheless - click the link on the top left to see some movies of the game in action, and just below that to see the song list. The game came out on the DS on November 13, for 5,040 yen with tax.

We'd like to begin this new feature, this amalgam of new offerings on the Virtual Console and WiiWare by asking for your help: We really need a catchier title than "Wii Post." Sure, it's practical, but it's not exactly "sticky," to drop some marketing lingo on you. Leave a great new one as a comment on this post and you'll win momentary fame and the satisfaction of a job well done.
WiiWare:- Bruiser and Scratch (Steel Penny Games, Inc., 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points): Bruiser and Scratch is a game about a dog and a cat who solve mysteries together. In addition to its irrefutably ridiculous premise (a dog and a cat working together?), B&S also features the above image, which is literally a screenshot from the game.
- Hockey Allstar Shootout (Big Blue Bubble Inc., 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): You can't trust two-thirds of this game's title: This isn't actually a hockey game -- just a collection of player vs. goalie encounters -- and there are no allstars. So, with the WiiWare press release apparently penned by an unreliable narrarator, we're left with more questions than answers. Are there actual shootouts? Is it really 500 points? There's really no way to tell at this point.
Virtual Console:- Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (Sega Master System, 1 player, 500 Wii Points): Yeah, we know, we could have sworn this was already on Virtual Console too. [Update: Oh, that's right: It totally was. Update 2: Yes, we know they're different games. We just wanted everyone to know they're not hallucinating.]

Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has said around 800,000 Wii consoles were sold over the Thanksgiving weekend in the US.
That's an absolutely outrageous number, and more than double the 350,000 figure from last year.
"When the economy is strong, people tend to buy three things from the top of their wish list. But when things are bad, people often buy only the first thing on their list - fortunately for us a lot of shoppers put our products at the top of their list," Iwata told Reuters.
He went on to say DS sales were up by around 20 per cent - both of which should cement Nintendo at the top of the NPD pile for November. Those figures should be released very soon.
The upshot is many shops reporting to be out of Wii stock, a situation Nintendo had predicted but apparently not remedied.
These impressive figures follow word that the Nintendo Wii was the most searched for product on the whole of eBay on Black Friday, the nationwide shopping day that follows Thanksgiving.

News from Noobey:
I told some of you that there would be a beta-release last week.
Sorry, but after working one week for the MP3-Code, the MP3 code now works but the application freezes somewhere during getting/filtering the quotes but I have no idea where….
Now I dont want to make a new time-span I cant make it, so I think latestly on christmas a MP3-featuring version should be out.
What to expect for the next version ?
The MP3 system scans a whole folder, inclusive the folders in it (=recursive), for .mp3’s. These will be played during reading quotes ;0 And of course there is a pause/next function which you also can map to a button

"We're extremely proud of the quality, innovation and overall gameplay experience that we delivered in Panzer Tactics DS and the recognition we've received from the German Game Developer Awards is a testament to the overall experience," said Harald Riegler, CEO of Sproing. "We took a lot of risks to create an immersive game for a mass-market audience and the Console Game of The Year Award makes it all worth while. We look forward to the next project which gives us the opportunity to build upon this success."
Panzer Tactics incorporates leading edge technology on the Nintendo DS including 4-player local network play, Wi-Fi connection for online multiplayer, rankings, matchmaking, and more than 100 hours of immersive gameplay.
