Skate It teaser trailer from IGN
“Skate It” is a spin off of the 360 game “Skate”, and has been announced for both Wii, and DS. The Wii version is set to support the Wii Balance Board, but also the Wii Remote if you don’t own a board. The DS version also promises to take full advantage of the stylus.
Expect the game to ship later this year.
I just finished playing the demo version of CrossworDS for the Nintendo DS. I downloaded it from the new Nintendo Channel, just released a couple days ago. I’ve got to say that it is very addictive. I’m not a crossword fan at all, but I totally got into this game. The easy and medium puzzles were not too bad, but the hard level kept me busy. Because I’m not a crossword person, I had to go online to get some help with the clues, but I finally finished it with only one letter wrong. If the full version of this game only expands on the addictive qualities of the demo, I am definitely recommending you pick this game up. Not to mention, it is only $20, which is a great deal for a game that will keep you busy for many hours. Bottom line — If you have a Wii, DS, and an online connection, I recommend you at least give the demo a try!

I saw this over on GoNintendo.com’s main page. I honestly wouldn’t give this thing the time of day. It had some serious potential but this amount of content couldn’t keep me satisfied for more than 10 minutes, and I LOVE Guitar Hero…

Lowering the price would have just made even MORE people want them. Like it says in the article, why make something cheaper if everyone wants it? Check it out at: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6189894.html?action=convert&om_clk=latestnews&tag=latestnews;title;1

IGN AU, 91/100
This is going to be the cult-hit DS game of 2008. Jupiter and Square Enix have developed a game that nails just about everything it tries ? and it triesquite a lot of new or carefully lifted ideas.
1UP, 91/100
This is a game that works precisely because it’s something new and different, and deserves to be celebrated for its originality…and for making its more banal moments as compelling as the inventive ones.
Games Radar, 90/100
The World Ends With You is an amazing marriage of style and gameplay. The dual screen combat further stretches what the DS can achieve in gaming that is far from a lame gimmick.
GameSpot, 90/100
The World Ends With You is a compelling and immaculately presented RPG from start to finish, and is a great way for Square Enix to kick off a new franchise.
GamePro, 90/100
The briskly moving plot and the unique battle system adds up yet another winner for Square Enix. [May 2008, p.82]
Thunderbolt, 90/100
As far as handheld RPGs go, it doesn?t get much more original than this.
Nintendo Power, 90/100
Thw World Ends with You may not have a big name like “Final Fantasy” or “Kingdom Hearts” attached to it, but it certainly deserves the same kind of success. [May 2008, p.87]
IGN, 90/100
Few games make it into the “amazing” category in our opinion, but with a game that sets as many standards, breaks down as many walls, stomps as many preconceptions, and offers as much depth and versatility as The World Ends With You, we simply can?t consider it anything but exactly that.
Well I just realized how many different hands-on previews GameSpot.com had. And instead of posting them all, I would just post a link to the site yay! Titles include: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King, Guitar Hero: On Tour, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and a bunch more.

Nintendo demoed two upcoming DS dungeon crawlers–Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness–at its recent press event in San Francisco. The two games, like the proper Pokemon games, feature the same content, but there’s a different mix of Pokemon in each. The games are the sequel to 2006’s Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue, which appeared on the Game Boy Advance and DS respectively. To keep things simple, the two sequels stick to the DS and build on the basic dungeon hack-and-slash of their predecessors. We had the chance to try out work-in-progress versions of the games to see how they’re shaping up.
You are once again cast as a human who has been turned into a Pokemon, and the specific details on the why and how are to be discovered as you go. When you first start the game, you’ll be given a short personality quiz whose answers will determine just which of the 16 starting Pokemon you’ll play as. Once that’s sorted out, you’ll kick off into the game and wake up on a beach. A few short cinematics later, you’ll be on your way and adventuring. Your hub in the game will be Treasure Town, a standard role-playing game town with an assortment of important locales, such as a bank and the Wigglytuff Guild, which is where you’ll pick up your quests. The guild will also contain an “outlaw” list of unsavory Pokemon you have to hunt down, bounty-hunter style. (more…)
