you heard? tastes like chicken.Square Enix keeps the Final Fantasy franchise spinning along, announcing Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales for North America, the ninth game dedicated to the "chocolate ball" birds. Part adventure, part RPG, part card battle, part minigame, and part 'microgame,' Chocobo Tales packs a lotta genre into a tiny DS cart -- and keeps it just as cuddly as last year's Final Fantasy III makeover. Awww...

Chocobo Tales is scheduled for release on April 3; retailing for $29.99.

ContraKonami is doing a good thing. Sure, we could write off this "new" DS-bound collection, Konami Classics Series: Arcade Hits, as a cheap way to make an easy buck -- these nostalgia-driven releases scream impulse buy. But, this one's packing Contra, and Konami's promising Nintendo WiFi Connection support. Say, word?

Twelve titles in all will be along for the ride, including Circus Charlie, Gradius, Roc'N Rope, Rush'N Attack, Time Pilot, Track and Field, and Yie-Ar Kung Fu. Aside from a traditional port, each game will be playable in a dual screen-tailored "remix" mode. In addition to wireless multiplayer, Arcade Hits will support online high scores and a replay feature allowing players to send highlight clips to friends.

Arcade Hits is scheduled for release in March 2007.

Yoshi's Island 2The updated box art says it all. Yoshi's Island 2 will feature (unspecified) Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection support. Let's just hope it's not another evolutionary step for rehash of those tired Mario 64 DS mini-games. Suspicion has already been raised with Artoon, an unproven developer, at the helm of this project, but Nintendo wouldn't put the sequel to one of its most coveted titles in incompetent hands, right? Right?

Final Fantasy III (DS)ClubSkill.com reports that a leaked screenshot from Jump, a Japanese publication, reveals that Final Fantasy III will make use of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, at least in part, by allowing friends to send 'letters' to each other. Exchanging these emails is said to trigger special events in the game.

Fair enough, but we're still holding out for some true co-op functionality, or even just a simple battle mode. C'mon Square Enix, we play games to take a break from emailing!

Star Fox CommandNintendo looks like it's finally ready to shed the obligatory 'DS' titling format used for its first-party franchise line* by renaming Star Fox DS to Star Fox Command. While the official website reflects the new naming, the game's logo has not yet been updated. Star Fox Command is scheduled for release on August 28.

*Includes: Mario Kart DS, Super Mario 64 DS, and Tetris DS.
