Play games and watch TV

TV is available for the owner of Nitendo's DS hand-held gaming dual-screens !

The device will be release on November 20 in Japan. The dual-antenna will cost about $60.

The peripheral is build on the the Japan's 1seg broadcasting network. That is the reason why we could not afford it at this time in Europe and North America.

The images will appear in the top screen. The bottom will be used to configure and control the new device options and play brain games for example.

The cartridge space will support the dual-antenna.

Remember the Gamegear ?

Apple vs Nintendo

According to Damon Brown from the New York Post, Apple and Nintendo will be ready to challenge each other on the area of the Mobile Casual Game Market.

Nintendo seems to be interested in building a new portable system inspired by the success of the DS and the Mobile Wii. Two major retail success of the Publisher.

Apple is also concerned in creating a new portable video game. In the same time, also interested in bringing new games to the IPhone. So may be that the IPhone will be this new plattform for Apple.

I think that the year 2008 should be interesting in terms of game development and partnerships, don't you ?

Run baby run

What about a good idea from a french video game publisher ?

Imagine created by Ubisoft should be a new series from Ubisoft for the DS of Nintendo.

Objective : reach the new eldorado in video game : women !

Your mission if you accept it will be :

- take care of 6 babies with different personalities (feeding,sleeping,cleaning etc..)

- play with them

- share clothes with the Wifi

- keep the house clean

- decorate your home

The marketers from Ubisoft are so creative. What about the idea to reach young girls to pu them in the perspective to act like their mothers. Do you really think that their mothers are only acting like this today ? Is Madona acting like this ?

For a new generation portable console, does it sound new to you ?
