Guitar Hero for DS buttons are Add-ons?

Here's a news that I got from getting information for the upcoming game Guitar Hero: On Tour. Vicarious Visions, the developer for the said game for the DS has mentioned they tackled lots of challenges before coming up with the game.

Obvious reasons is the DS itself. Too keep to the DS being compact, they rejected the fact of making the peripheral look like a guitar fretboard. That means, no guitar sized thingy.

The most interesting thing I found was about Vicarious Visions asking for permission to add buttons instead of mapping together with the buttons available on the DS. That means the buttons that is shipped with Guitar Hero are additional buttons for the DS.

Very interesting sales strategy.

DS going Retro. Gameboy and NES Controller is BACK!

I told everyone already that retro gaming is here to stay. I always like stuff that comes out from the retro days of Nintendo. This is no exception! I like this thing alot! Some cool people made something very cool for the Nintendo DS. Retro Nintendo Pouch!



It's somewhat pricey from where I came from though but it's worth the purchase. USD$13 for either one of 'em or USD$21 for both. Interested? You can get these through this person.

Care to buy me one?

LOL. Seriously it's LOL.

Now this is a game that you might just say "You're paying for Pictochat?!" or some case just "LOL".

Why do I say this? Well, first of all this game is a MULTIPLAYER GAME only game. Which means you need to bring your DS buddies to have some fun with this thing. Heh, I can see instant fail unless they do last minute changes.

Can't Get Korg DS-10? There's GROOVESTEP!

I mentioned about the upcoming coolness of the KORG DS-10 few post back. You know, the new portable synthesizer where you can make music where ever you go? Some of us might think that this thing will be one hell of a purchase. Look no further as homebrewers will save the day! (and your money. Actually I know you all like free stuff.)

April 7, 2008 - GrooveStep Digital Music Studio is a revolutionary ultra portable music making application for the Nintendo DS. GrooveStep features an easy to use step sequencer for pattern based music making. You can make beats, melodies and full songs with GrooveStep.

That's right. A rival that gives you free. Not as fancy looking but from the looks of it, it nearly resembles the KORG DS-10 functionality. Whatever it is, I'm surely want to try this when it's out.

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword Review by The DS Lite

I finally finished the game a few days ago. All was worth it. The trouble, the arm cramping. EVERYTHING. Team Ninja delivered a great game for the Nintendo DS and set a standard for other games.

For a game that fully rely on stylus, it was fun. The game was action packed. Being Ryu Hayabusa is not easy. The last boss was annoying. All in all, you feel great once you finished the game. Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is a must get for the DS.
