Any folks with a DS? Or DSi? Do you buy original games or do you use R4 for your gaming purposes? :D We all know that piracy is bad, and hence, Nintendo is taking further measures to combat the pirates.
Earlier this year, Nintendo announced that it and 54 software game companies were filing a lawsuit with the Tokyo District Court against companies that import “R4 Revolution”-type devices, using the Unfair Competition Prevention Law as the legal grounding.
According to Nintendo, such devices hurts the growth of the entire game industry and …

I probably read up somewhere about this game called Love Plus, a DS game, but never really bothered about it until my friend mentioned to me about this game, today. Lol. Love Plus is a virtual schoolgirl relationship simulation that was released on the 3 September, 2009.

Looks like it’s a highly popular game, having sold over 100,000 copies. Retail price is at 5,800 yen. I’m sure you can get the game cheaper at Amazon JP. Play-Asia has the game up too, but the price is scary, and it’ll take 1 …

Scribblenauts is easily one of the most fun games that you can play on your Nintendo DS in the year 2009. It is a puzzle-action game that requires creativity and some common sense =D. The game is out today, but there were some hackers who were able to get their hands on the game before the release date and they manged to rip a full list of words(22,802 words?!) that you can write in the game. You can view the list here.
However, creative director of 5th Cell (developer of Scribblenauts) …

I know one of the many reasons why people considering going to purchase R4 for their own Nintendo DS sets – the hassle of bringing the game out and changing it. Now it is possible to bring a maximum of three games around, with the Blaze 3-in-1 Game Selector.

Working like a switchbox, the device replicates the cartridge slot of your DS and clips to the back of your handheld, allowing you to insert three DS carts at once. A small lead then runs from the device to your DS’s actual …
