Nov 27th 2008 12:32AM (Joystiq Nintendo)DS Daily: Three hundred dollars
Oct 25th 2008 11:26AM (Joystiq Nintendo)300$ is one heck of a big mark up.
I'll wait till it comes to the US and maybe with a few more Special DSi Games.
With luck by the time it gets to our shore it will also be homebrewable too...
I use my Current DS for Movies and Music, as well as PDFs and Comicbooks/Manga, and when it I get my headset for it, a VoIP Phone. Its more of portable Media Center then just a game console for me now. I hope I'll be able to do the same or better things with the DSi

Another Week in Europe
Jun 29th 2008 10:36AM (Joystiq Nintendo)Its the largest DS game yet, weighing in at 256 megs.
The Voice used for the guide is great, speaking clearly every time, with an adjustable speed, in case you prefer it slower.
The Search feature is a breeze, you can sort it by ingredients to include or exclude, nationality, and even key words like Spicy or Creamy.
It has by far the BEST Handwriting software I have ever seen on a DS Game, or any commercial electronic Device.
So much so that I would like to see it in other DS Games and such that will require writing. Writing was so quick and simple.
The Voice Recognition was pretty good, not spot on every time, but in the peace and quiet of my kitchen it worked out great. I was able to sit the DS on the counter on a paper towel and prompt it to move forward with a simple "Continue".
The game even has a nice built in calculator and Cooking timer.
The only real disappointment was the game itself was overly multicultural in its recipe selections.
I would like to see a more regional cookbook. Cooking Guide France, Cooking Guide USA, Cooking Guide UK.
If each regional game has the same number of Recipes in it, but of only one region this would be the perfect Non-Game DS TOOL.
I give Cooking Guide 9 out of 10.
Its an Excellent non-game using the DS Software and Hardware perfectly even if the Recipe selection is a bit lacking.

May 4th 2008 5:11AM (Joystiq Nintendo)I however am not a fan of spongebob.
I would love a 2nd Drawn to life game set in the same
world as the first, or a similar world.
