How would you pronounce ‘Ys’?
Both PSP-2000 and DSLite sales are up: the former has reached 1 million in just 2months since coming out, and the latter has reached to over 2million (within Japan). Wonder if Microsoft is thinking of a hand-held to join their ranks yet. As for DSLite, the software that sold most is as follows (as of 25th Nov. ‘07): 1) Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, 2) New Super Mario Bros., 3) Brain Training DS – sequel – , 4) Animal Crossing, and 5) Brain Training DS.
New Wii software on free download called Everyone’s Nintendo Channel started from yesterday. The games you downloaded and played for an hour plus, will enable you to vote (on how much you liked it, what kind of mind frame you were in at the time, etc.) and will help you select future game downloads according to your tastes.
Delayed for reasons unfathomable, is the Super Smash Bros. X – now coming out 24th January in Japan. Expect the UK release date to be moved back too.
DQ IV has downloadables available now – click the button second from right on bottom row to get it.
Apparently, a puzzle game called ょすみん。DS is simple and very addictive, according to this article. Read as ‘Yosumin DS’, ‘yosumi’ means ‘four corners’. Get the idea? Match the four corners of a square in the same colours/icons to go on. It came out earlier this month in Japan, so if intrigued, get yourself down to Play Asia.
Lastly, both Ys DS and Ys II DS will be coming out 28th Feb., for approx. £22 each in Japan. Originally a popular series of RPG on the PC, it has been ported and improved upon for the DS. Their official site is up, but no downloads are available as of yet.
