Legend of Zelda returns to the DS.
Link is making a comeback in the Nintendo DS with The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, which looks a lot like Phantom Hourglass. This new Zelda’s gimmick: Link travels the game world using a steam-powered train. From the looks of things, this train is going to function like the S. S. Linebeck in Phantom Hourglass. In other words, Nintendo merely replaced the ship with a train. Check out the trailer after the jump:

The DSi also prints money.
Remember the weird fluke that happened earlier this month? See, the PlayStation 3 outsold all other game consoles/handhelds in Japan. It outsold the Nintendo DSi, DS Lite, PSP, and PS2 because of the PS3’s Yakuza 3. Well, this week, everything is back to normal. The DSi is back on top.

Review - Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume (DS)
March 25, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
Overkill is how one gains "Sin."
When one speaks of mature games, the first thing that usually comes to mind is violence. Such is the case in Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume. The new strategy RPG for the Nintendo DS is certainly violent because its gameplay consists mainly of battle after isometric battle. However, Covenant of the Plume also depicts life and death like no other game has, and that makes it mature.
