We want to invite you to take a trip down memory lane as the Game & Watch™ series returns. These little LCD game gems were released thirty years ago and marked Nintendo’s first foray into portable games. They were the first ancestors of your Nintendo DSi and will now be available once more, exclusively on DSiWare. The first three titles are Chef, Judge and Mario's Cement Factory.
Also on DSiWare this week: You’ll need a steady hand as the pressure is on to rescue Leon's babies from the belly of Ms. Tum Tum in SUPER YUM YUM Puzzle Adventures. And you better watch your back as gangsters are prowling the neighbourhood in Gangstar 2: Kings of L.A.
Get ready for some frantic fun this week as Diner Dash® comes to WiiWare. Help Flo complete all her tasks in the allotted time and pair up with players online to compete for the best diner in town. Or go for the almost spiritual experience of Art of Balance, a physics-based puzzler with great production values. Critically acclaimed when released in North America, it hits Europe this week!
And that’s not all for Wii! The Hanabi Festival has been a great success so far and SQUARE ENIX gives us the honour of an encore with Ogre Battle®64: Person of Lordly Caliber, the first N64 title on Virtual Console since June! There’s more for Neo Geo as well, with the entry of FATAL FURY SPECIAL, which pits fighters of the first games in this classic series against all new characters in one of the best fighting games ever made.
WiiWare - Art of Balance
(Shin'en Multimedia, 800 Wii Points)
Grab your Wii Remote and balance as many bricks into stacks as possible in this physics-based puzzler. With over 100 levels to challenge not only your skills but also your imagination, the game is easy to pick up and hard to put away.
Make the most of the dedicated two player split-screen "versus" mode for extra fun or take on the challenge by yourself.
WiiWare - Diner Dash®
(HUDSON SOFT, 1000 Wii Points)
Diner Dash®, the number one PC Action Puzzle game has landed on WiiWare. Guide Flo, an office-worker turned restaurateur, as she builds up her empire over four unique diners. Go online to face players in head to head matches. If you feel up to the challenge, join up with a friend or another player online for a Team Dash game where your team will take on six other players to see whose diner is the best in town.
Players take direct control of Flo as she runs around to seat patrons, take orders, deliver food, take payment and bus tables as efficiently as possible within the time limit allowed. Players fond of the traditional control schemes may also use a point-and-click style with hotkeys to aid Flo in her quest for customer satisfaction, which is reflected in a heart meter that empties as customers lose patience. If the meter empties completely, then the customer will leave the restaurant.
Virtual Console - Ogre Battle®64: Person of Lordly Caliber
(SQUARE ENIX, Nintendo 64, 1200 Wii Points)
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber is a tactical RPG for the Nintendo 64. Featuring a gripping storyline with multiple possible endings, and a genre-defining character class system, this strategic game has rightly retained its place in the hearts of tactical RPG fans for over a decade.
The game tells the story of Magnus Gallant, a recently graduated officer of the Palatinean Army who is assigned to the troubled southern region of his native land. There he witnesses the plight of the lower classes – victims of a tyrannical ruling elite whose only thought is for the preservation of their own lofty status. With civil war brewing, Magnus is faced with a terrible choice: to betray his own noble origins in the name of liberty, or turn a blind eye to the evils of his rotten society.
Virtual Console - FATAL FURY SPECIAL
(D4 Enterprise, NEOGEO, 900 Wii Points)
This fighting game, originally released in 1993, pits a total of 15 different fighters against each other. The cast includes the original eight characters from Fatal Fury 2, along with previously unplayable characters Billy, Axel, Laurence and Wolfgang. Finally, three characters from the original Fatal Fury (Duck, Tung and Geese) have returned to the fight.
Building on the appeal from the previous game with its two-line battle system, its special moves and its powerful finishers, and further improving on the series' formula, this game is truly worthy of the title "special". Also, if certain conditions are met, special guest Ryo Sakazaki will make a shocking appearance.
NINTENDO DSiWare - Game & Watch™
Experience a piece of Nintendo history with the Game & Watch series on Nintendo DSiWare. Each title is a perfect recreation of a classic LCD game from the early 1980s, including normal Game A and alternate Game B modes.
And no Game & Watch title would be complete without the ‘Watch’ function - each title includes a fully functional clock and alarm.

The latest Pokémon™ adventure, Pokémon™ HeartGold Version and Pokémon™ SoulSilver Version, has now arrived in Europe for the Nintendo DS packed with new features. From the earliest days of Nintendo’s portable Game Boy system, Pokémon games have made their mark. Now Nintendo has released completely updated versions of two classic Pokémon games. The new Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version games inspired by the originals have evolved to include updated graphics and sound as well as intuitive new controls that use the Nintendo DS touch screen.
Key to the game is the new Pokéwalker accessory which will allow you, the player, to interact with your Pokémon beyond the realm of the main game itself! The brand new Pokéwalker accessory is a pedometer that is exclusively packaged with, and only for Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version. It allows players to bring their favourite Pokémon with them wherever they go. Players can transfer a Pokémon to the Pokéwalker and then simply walk around in real life. By walking, players earn Watts that can be used to encounter and catch wild Pokémon or search for hidden items. The Pokémon in the Pokéwalker will gain Experience Points as the player walks, and can even go up one level when they are transferred back into the game. Players who meet another person with a Pokéwalker can also connect them wirelessly, where each of the players will then receive a gift!
The games also features detailed graphics that show off the hundreds of Pokémon that players can catch and train, as well as all the different environments. For the first time, players can interact with all their favourite Pokémon outside of battle by selecting the leader from their party to follow behind them on their travels.
As always, trading and battling with friends is a big part of the Pokémon experience. Players with a wireless broadband Internet connection can interact with their friends who have Pokémon HeartGold, SoulSilver, Diamond, Pearl or Pokémon Platinum Version games to trade or battle Pokémon via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. Players also can battle and trade with others via a local wireless connection.
FEATURING NEW POKÉATHLON, POKÉ BALLS AND MUCH, MUCH MORE…..
The new Pokéathlon - A sports festival in which your Pokémon compete against others in Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump performance courses. Select three suitable Pokémon for each course to participate in these action-packed events and earn Athlete Points as you compete, which can then be exchanged for items. In the Hurdle Dash, for example, you will race against other teams on a track with Hurdles along the way. In the Ring Drop, your goal is to make other Pokémon drop off the Ring, or practice your snowball throwing in Snow Throw and see how many times you can hit other Pokémon. Just make sure to select Pokémon with the right attributes to help you to succeed…
The updated Pokégear feature- A tool that will be indispensible on your adventure. This device combines a phone, a map and even a radio, which add an important dimension to gameplay. You can exchange phone numbers and call Trainers you meet in the game. Sometimes, they’ll call to challenge you for a battle. Use the stylus to learn about various places around the region and upgrade your Pokégear with the Radio Card to enjoy different radio shows.
Create Poké Balls - By collecting Apricorns, found all around the Johto region, you can make seven types of special Poké Balls, including the Lure Ball, useful for catching landed Pokémon while fishing, the Level Ball, good at catching Pokémon that are at lower levels than yours and the Love Ball - good at catching Pokémon of the opposite gender!
Packed with richness, new features, and a new accessory, Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version is set to be one of the most incredible Pokémon experiences yet. Join the adventure from today as it launches across Europe for Nintendo DS family of consoles. ...by Published on March 26th, 2010 16:34

Atomic Games, a developer of simulations for US military and intelligence agencies and a pioneer in military action games, announced Breach™ today. Breach is a first-person multiplayer shooter that literally blows the floor out from under conventional military shooters. Breach introduces new kinds of destruction that haven't been seen in any other game, unveils an Active Cover System which allows players to take advantage of any cover as it is ripped apart, and adds in unique, true-to-life spy gadgets which all changes the very nature of multiplayer combat.
Breach uses Atomic's innovative Hydrogen™ Engine to give players inventive ways to use destruction so they can stun, manipulate, and eliminate their opponents with a new toolbox of tactics. For the first time, virtual warriors can punch holes through floors to get the drop on enemies below, breach both interior and exterior walls, crush enemy fighters by collapsing ceilings and balconies, and even shoot away individual bricks to create "shooter's holes." Breach is the first game to mix Atomic's ground-breaking Active Cover System, which lets players attach instantly to cover, quickly pop in and out of cover, and peak and blind-fire from behind cover, with an environment in which virtually anything that can be used for cover can also be destroyed. As walls get eaten away from bullets and explosions, characters will be able to use the new openings to return fire without leaving the protection of remaining cover.
Players will take on the roles of some of the most elite field operatives in the US. CIA Special Activities Division officers are the teams sent in on real-life black operations when no one can ever know the US was involved. Atomic is using expertise it developed creating training systems for the world's leading military and intelligence organizations to bring the secret world of black operations to life with accurate weapons, gear, and real-life spy gadgets which virtual operators can use with real world tactics to defeat the enemy.
Breach also aims to disrupt the way video games are priced and purchased. Breach can be downloaded through the Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. On this platform, Breach offers the kinds of innovation and features expected in a full packaged game.
Breach will be available this Summer and it does not yet have a rating by the ESRB. Initial intelligence and can be found at www.breachgame.com. ...by Published on March 26th, 2010 16:29

Could You Survive On A Desert Island Stranded Without A Phone?
Survival Game Released On Apple iPhoneTM And Apple iPod Touch®
Stranded Without A Phone from independent developer Gilligames is a desert island survival game set in the Space HoRSE universe. Four passengers on a space ship were on a mission to colonize a new planet when the ship crash landed on a planet that is almost completely covered by ocean. You, yes you, are the sole survivor, an upper-management executive from the Decoo Corporation, the company that sponsored the original mission. In this visually attractive game you must use your survival skills to stay alive long enough to get rescued. Build shelter, find food and drink, and collect salvageable parts from the wreckage that wash ashore. Use the parts to build a space radio and call for a rescue team to win the game.
Stranded Without A Phone features a familiar RPG-style inventory system, an incredible amount of items to utilize (more than 70!), randomly generated maps and realistic environments including day / night cycle and weather changes! To survive long enough while waiting to be rescued you must search for natural resources, and then use them to create other items using various combinations. For example, you need to search dirt areas for small boulders to build a fire pit, you can find coconuts as an immediate source of nutrition and hydration and if you’re good enough you can find fish in shallow waters.
Since the game’s original release in October 2009, Gilligames has carefully listened to consumer feedback and made available several updates to the game to include new enhancements, features and a web-based item guide on popular demand. The developer has also released a free “Lite” version allowing prospective players to get a taste of what it would feel like to be stranded, isolated and stuck without a phone on a desert island! ...by Published on March 26th, 2010 16:27
