The Entertainment Software Rating Board has rated both Shinobi and Sonic Triple Trouble for the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Both games, which were developed by Sega, were previously available on the Game Gear.

Nintendo has also announced that Kid Icarus Of Myths and Monsters will be available on the Japanese Nintendo 3DS eShop on February 8th. The Game Boy title was previously only available to purchase in Europe and North America but never made it to Japan.

Download Diddy Kong Racing Nintendo DS

Everyone was taken aback when Microsoft took possession of the Rare Company. Everyone believed that it was impossible for the Rare games to get back into the Nintendo system ever again. Even though Rare didn’t produce any games for the Nintendo game consoles, they did make some plentiful games for the Game Boy consoles and it is now they have chosen the Nintendo DS. Diddy Kong was launched to the mixed reviews of 1997 regarding the Nintendo 64.

Back in the game – Diddy Kong Racing Nintendo DS

Now years later the game is back again to hook the players with the infinite number of engaging tasks which are given in the game. The comeback game is much the same and not many changes are visible. However, you will find some new characters, new race modes and some better touch screen controls. Having said that, there is something more- Online multiplayer mode! Yes this feature is exciting as now you can challenge all your friends for some adventurous races. -> Download Diddy Kong Racing For DS

Characters involved in Diddy Kong Racing DS

In total there are 8 characters that make the basic foundation of the game. These characters are Dixie Kong, Bumper, Pipsy , Diddy Kong , Conker, Banjo and Krunch. Unlike most of the racing games, the Diddy Kong Racing actually has a story which lets you know why you are racing. You will realize that a giant evil pig called Wizpig has taken over the island which is home for many cute little animals that have this amazing talent of talking like humans. Because of the hell created by the Wizpig and his minions, the inhabitants of the island send a letter to Diddy Kong asking for help. Diddy Kong then rounds up all his chums and then they first race against each other and then finally race against the evil pig and then defeat him and save the people from their monarchy.

When Diddy Kong reaches the island, he is ushered to the racing quest and is taught about the basic of the racing by a purple genie elephant called Taj. You see, this is why most of the racing games don’t have the stories behind the racing. What the players want is mind blowing racing tracks and even mind blowing racing vehicles. Nobody would love to hear what a talking elephant says or why the hell the island inhabitants are tortured by evil pigs. It all seems absurd but the good thing is that there is not much time wasted in the exposition of the story.

Diddy Kong Racing Nintendo For DS – A Gun Game!

All in all, the game is good though not splendid. The touch screen elements have certainly added a wow factor to the game and it is very entertaining to play the game. However, players would have really appreciated if more focus was given on the racing part instead of the lame story behind it. If you can stand long cut scenes of the storyline and really love the racing portion of the game, this game is for you then. However, if you have low patience, you better avoid it.

One of the members of BitBlock has posted some high quality footage of the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D demo that’s available on the Japanese Nintendo 3DS eShop. Josh from BitBlock says that despite the demo being rather promising, the framerate on the game leaves a lot to be desired.

Shigeru Miyamoto has told Mercury News that he’s not entirely sure whether Nintendo are behind or faster than the competition with regards to online features on Wii and Nintendo 3DS. Miyamoto has acknowledged that Nintendo has been slower in the past compared to other companies regarding online functionality but believes that what they’ve done so far has made sense from a business standpoint.

It’s true that for many years, Nintendo has been said to have been slow in online applications. And I think that’s been said for 10 years or more — even before Microsoft entered into the video game industry.

But the fact of the matter is that Nintendo has always been involved in the network business in one way or another. At least we have been continuing to experiment. The difference between Nintendo and other companies might be that Nintendo has always been trying to do something which makes sense from our business perspective, rather than trying to do something similar to other companies.

So I cannot tell if we are behind or faster. But when I am looking at how we are deploying our online business, I think what we are doing today is appropriate.

News publication The Daily is reporting that Nintendo is currently hard at work creating a full-blown app store for the Wii U. Whilst there are already small applications available for the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DSi the app store for the Wii U will go far beyond this offering a much wider variety of apps.

Wii U owners will be able to use apps that operate on the Wii U itself, such as MLB.TV, and others that run independently on the Wii U’s controller. Given its tablet-like design and 6.2-inch screen, it’s not hard to imagine being able to check email, browse the Web, post to social networks and even get some gaming in

Famed Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter has explained to Industry Gamers how he believes Nintendo will sustain consumers interest for the Nintendo 3DS throughout 2012. Pachter believes that Nintendo first party line-up for the console during 2012 is superb but the company desperately needs to announce a major first party retail release for February or March.

“All Nintendo has to do is provide software support. It’s already announced lineup is stellar, but we don’t have dates.  It would help immensely if they would get a few out in February or March.”
