Today, Hamburg/Germany-based publisher dtp entertainment announces Virtual Villagers: A New Home for Nintendo DS. This colourful, real-time life simulation will be published in Q3 2009. Virtual Villagers: A New Home takes players to a beautiful tropical island where they are tasked with helping a tribe of stranded villagers to survive and discover the island's many secrets. Surprising events, challenging puzzles, and fun-to-play mini games all await players eager to take up the task.
When a volcano destroys their former home, a band of survivors find themselves washed up on the shores of the beautiful Isola Island. Luckily, their new homeland appears peaceful and fertile. The stranded villagers are able to find berries, fish are plentiful in the nearby ocean, and building materials are available for the villagers to construct their first huts. Until the player assigns tasks, the villagers wander around the island, just playing tag or chatting, and just like real people, the Virtual Villagers will become sad or sick if not given enough attention. However, the player can help by putting the villagers in touch with their friends. They are able to heal and cheer each other up. Good tempered villagers can even fall in love and have babies, helping the tribe to prosper.
Players can customize their Virtual Villagers in many different ways. New names can be assigned and colourful clothes and accessories including exotic flowers and other collectible items, can be changed to suit the player's current mood. Players also will help guide their villagers in their occupations, determining what role they will play on the island.
Life on the island never stands still. Due to a persistent game world, time continues to move forward even if the Nintendo DS is closed or turned off. When returning to the game, players can always look forward to a surprise such as the villagers celebrating the anniversary of their arrival, finding various messages in the bottles that wash ashore, or discovering a new mini game has been unlocked. Dozens of unexpected events will occur.
Virtual Villagers provides easy-to-play fun through discovering the island and taking care for its inhabitants – complicated micro-management isn't needed. Virtual Villagers: A New Home is dedicated to younger simulation fans and casual gamers alike. This Nintendo DS title is also for gamers on the go who only have short periods of time to play.
"keen games and dtp entertainment have done an exceptional job bringing this Virtual Villagers title to Nintendo DS", says Arthur Humphrey, Founder of Last Day of Work, the team that created the successful Virtual Villagers series for PC. "This game is a natural fit for the system and we are confident and excited to debut our Virtual Villagers franchise on this platform." Virtual Villagers – A New Home is developed by keen games in Frankfurt/Germany, based on a license from Big Fish Games. ...by Published on May 12th, 2009 19:58
Apparently we're not the only ones that realize just how difficult – and addicting - Knights in the Nightmare is, as those DS/Wii owners quick enough on the draw have the opportunity to play the ambitious pocket RPG long before release. Atlus USA and Nintendo of America have teamed up to add Knights in the Nightmare to the Nintendo Channel today, so if you own a Wii and a DS, you should dive on in immediately.
Knights in the Nightmare is a unique action-RPG that makes use of some elements from arcade shooters, classic strategy RPG attack systems, thousands of weapon upgrades and combinations, and a beautiful style, mixing some epic music with developer Sting's impressive hand-drawn slant on pocket gaming.
It's a tough game to get into, which is exactly why it's now available for a free taste. The download consists of the game's tutorial, which will last you a good deal of time. Learn the game now, and get ready for its release in just a few short weeks. This ambitious title already ranks among some of the best titles of the year, so get a taste now while you can.
Oh, and download it quick. Knowing Nintendo's random update habits, this thing could be gone at any time.

Today Parisian developer Yullaby released the first details on its upcoming puzzle game for WiiWare, Magnetis. Here is the 'statement of intent,' straight from Yullaby's Hiromi Matsugi:
"We wanted to come up with an intuitive, arcade oriented puzzler concept. The object is simply to survive, and further, to beat the high score.
"Individual sessions of gameplay are short and tense, so the game can be played in multiple rapid sessions, or simply enjoyed as an informal, bite-sized manner.
"Magnetis' main attraction lies in its multiplayer gameplay, but mastery of the game's mechanics will come primarily from the solo modes. Their slower pace allows experimentation and training of skills, which can then be applied in multiplayer matches."

Magic Destiny and Stealth Translations have done it again! This time they bring you a complete version of FEDA: The Emblem of Justice. The script has been totally reworked, and numerous bugs have been stomped out!
Months and months were spent editing the script to get the proper tone and feel down right. WildBill, having spent time in service, delved back into his past to bring a very realistic dialog to the game. Bongo’ continued to deliver killer tools to complete this project and worked long hard hours to get the coding put in place.
If you enjoyed (or even hated) playing the original Stealth Translations release, then you will be totally blown away by how much better the dialog and story are. The original release contained many inconsistencies and vague scenarios that have tweaked for better comprehension.
We hope you enjoy the game! Be sure to give a big hand to the man himself, Bongo’, for pushing us hard to get this gem of a game out to the public.
