DS Daily: Next for Nintendo
Nintendo has a lot of franchises to draw from. They're continuing to pump out those Pokemans, gave us a new Zelda game last year and a new Super Mario Bros. game before that. So what's next for them? We think it's high time we got an Elite Beat Agents 2 already, but what about you all? What's the ne...
DS Daily: Crafting a songlist
Last night's Elite Beat Agents 2 rumor has us dreaming of a songlist for the possibly-upcoming title. If such a sequel existed, or might exist (please?), we couldn't possibly guess all of the tracks ... but from some of the classics in the first -- memorable songs with a strong beat -- we may be ab...
DS Daily: On display
DS game packaging is some of the best yet in Nintendo's history, largely because it abandons the flimsy, easily torn cardboard boxes of the past, but also because the games look very pretty lined up together. With this in mind, how do you display your games? Do you have them proudly sitting on a sh...
DS Daily: Game squared
First, watch this awesome video. It's an awesome video, right? A YouTube user 007craft remade The Legend of Zelda, from the first screen through the first dungeon, in the Xbox Live Arcade version of N+. It's wonderfully bizarre to see the screens so faithfully rendered in a completely different ga...
DS Daily: Drawn to License
Having had a day or so to absorb the news (oh man, that was totally unintentional, but we're leaving it) of a SpongeBob SquarePants-themed version of Drawn to Life, we're somewhat less negative about it and more ... conflicted. Basically, we don't know if we should feel bad for the original game ...
DS Daily: Phoenix Wright or Ouendan?
The time has come, faithful readers, for us to settle something once and for all. It's bound to be a heated issue, but it's a question worth answering. If you had to choose (and we grow faint just trying to imagine the horror of such a situation) between the Ace Attorney series and the Ouendan/El...
DS Daily: Blank canvas
Animal Crossing engages players by giving them tools to do whatever they feel like, a large part of which is designing clothing, wallpaper, flags, and even dialogue to personalize their towns. Mario Kart DS has customizable emblems. And then there's Drawn to Life, which looks like the ultimate examp...
DS Daily: Was EBA good enough to make you import Ouendan?
We've been playing a lot of Elite Beat Agents lately and the comparisons between it and its Japanese counterpart Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! are unavoidable. We can't really say which we think is superior, as they both have their own distinct charm, but our mind floats back to when we first tried Osu! Ta...
DS Daily: Bridging the gap
As we were discussing the best traditional games on the DS, some other issues were raised, and we thought they might merit further discussion. When it comes to discussing the effects of the DS on the gaming industry, the Touch Generations brand is a good place to start. Nintendo's set of titles aime...
DS Daily: Localization
Yesterday we linked the Capcom USA interviews with Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All localization team members, and they mentioned what every game translator mentions: changing cultural references to fit better with the target audience. The translations considered "best" are the ones that...
