Splattering ketchup over the DS
Seems an age since I found any news of interest, and even today, I can only find little tidbits (like possible rumours). For example, that the Wii launch is November (see article, 9th paragraph), with two dozen or so launch titles.
Managed to find a few screenshots of Starfox Command (DS), which will incorporate a multi-story (read as multiple ending) format. The game will also be using the vibration cartridge for extra effect. Out for approx. £24 from 3rd August.
Something to help you cook Japanese style, perhaps… Talk! DS Cooking Navigation (that’s the approximate translation of the title) Its aims being you speak into the mic for the ‘next step’, so it basically can slowly guide you through the ‘complicated’ steps involved in making over 200 dishes. Sounds fairly good? Drawback is that it’s only released in Japanese, so without some fluency in the language, you’re probably going to be left salivating, or attempting some hazardous guess work. Still, great way to get your kids involved in cooking. Approx. £19, out from 20th July.
Coming out sometime this year is Tingle’s RupeeLand, again on the DS. Tingle, of you know… that funny little man that appears in those Zelda games, the one that somehow believes he’s a fairy (depending on how you take that word…). The jist of the game seems to be gathering Rupees – sadly, if you hit rock bottom, you will be letting Tingle die. More on this as details become available, anyhoo. What gets me though… those Japanese people call him Tinkle.
Last but not least, The Settlers will finally be making its way over to the DS. Scheduled for a release later this year in Europe and Asia, no other details can be as of yet, found.
