Plants vs. Zombies for Nintendo DS Trailer

The gruesome but adorable cast of Plants vs. Zombies is headed to the Nintendo DS this coming January. Aside from plants and zombies, the game will feature new mini-games such as Heat Wave, Homerun Derby, and Air Raid. There will be new achievements to unlock as well so say goodbye to your day as you try to get through those flags!

Here's the trailer for Plants vs. Zombies for the Nintendo DS.

Okamiden Commercial too cute for TV

What do you need to advertise a cute game such as Okamiden for the DS? A cute girl, a cute dog, and BAM! You got yourself a purrfect ad for a game featuring a young sun god.

Plants Vs. Zombies Invading Nintendo DS Soon

The immensely popular tower/yard/house/pool/roof game Plants Vs. Zombies by PopCap Games will soon be available on the Nintendo DS. It was recently revealed that PVZ will be released on January next year for $19.95.

All original content will be included for the DS version of Plants Vs. Zombies, plus expect some new levels and features. PopCap did the same whing when they released the port of Peggle on the DS so who knows what madness the DS PVZ will include.

To get you all riled up, here's the theme song for Plants Vs. Zombies.

Intellivision coming soon on Nintendo DS

Retro gamers around the world rejoice! Well, only those with a Nintendo DS should... for Intellivision games will soon invade the DS this coming September!

Classic games such as Astro Smash, Armor Battle, Night Stalker and Shark! Shark! plus a whole lot more will be part of Virtual Play's Intellivision Lives! The DS touchscreen will act as control with custom game overlay.

For those too young to know what Intellivision is, video below shows what we grown ups used to play back in the day.

Okamiden Invades Comic-Con 2010, Attacks with New Footage

There's now ending the cuteness of Okamiden. We've featured this Nintendo DS game before and we still can't get enough of it. Maybe it's the weird way the characters talk? Or maybe it's just the art of the game. One thing we know is we can't wait until 2011 when the game is released.

Here's the new gameplay footage of Okamiden that recently surfaced on Comic-Con 2010.

Final Fantasy 4: The 4 Heroes of Light New Trailer

In Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, players are charged with saving a princess while of course battling hordes of baddies. This latest Final Fantasy spin-off was already released in Japan last year but now North American Nintendo DS owners can have a go at it on October 5th.

In this newest Final Fantasy 4: The 4 Heroes of Light trailer, the world map is shown and some shots of villages. Don't be fooled by the characters' cuteness though, the game is wicked fun and was sold out in Japan the 2nd week of its release.

Chibiterasu Plush Doll Coming Out Soon

If you're an avid reader of Handheld Gaming then you probably know how excited we are of Okamiden. Don't hold it against us, though. Blame the awesomely cute protagonist of this upcoming Nintendo DS game, Chibiterasu. If only we can hug, cuddle, and shower it with kissess... OMG soon we can!!!

The Chibiterasu plush doll will soon be available via Capcom's Japanese online store. It's expected to ship on Oct. 31 for approximately $58US.

Nintendo 3DS Finally Revealed

Nintendo recently revealed the latest DS system, the 3DS. Every gamer I've talked to is excited about this latest handheld one way or another. Yours truly can't wait either. Mario Kart on 3D? Sign me up! I could talk on and on about it here, but it would be best if I point you to Nintendo 3DS Games, a blog dedicated to the Nintendo 3DS system.

Okami & Okamiden Cups Brim-full of Cute

As if Okamiden for the Nintendo DS is not adorable enough, Capacom decided to offer this pair of Okami mugs designed with Chibiterasu and Amaterasu, the original protagonist in Okami.

As you can see from the image above, the mug changes color when you pour hot liquid in, preferably oolong tea. The page on Capcom also offers different Okami/Okamiden collectibles such as shirts, DVD, books, and soundtrack.

Music Video Created Using Flipnote Studio

If you think that Flipnote Studio, a free app for the Nintendo DSi, is good for just quick goofy animations, this video will change your mind. Billy Polard created this video for his own song, Losing Light. Now before you hit that play button, be warned: the video and song is particularly sad ;(

Two More Games for Cooking Mama This Year

 If you think that after a bunch of successful games Mama would throw in her apron, well think again. Majesco recently announced that they will be releasing two more Cooking Mama games this year. The last two for the DS, Gardening Mama and Cooking Mama 3, were a hit especially to young audiences. This might be the reason Majesco is looking to expand Mama's talent. I for one am looking forward to what Mama will fix for us next.

Easy Piano to Teach DS Owners... Piano

This Nintendo DS game wins the most awesome peripheral in my book. The Easy Piano for the DS includes, well, a piano that you can slide into your DS' GBA slot.

The 13-key keyboard attachement aims to teach gamers how to play the piano lady- and gentleman-like. You can record performances and there's a rhythm game to boot. Obviously, this game won't be coming to the DSi. Here's to hoping for a sequel with DSi compatibilty :)

Zelda Spirit Tracks Collector's Tin

Nintendo is at it again with their memorabilia antics. Fans of our silent hero Zelda would rejoice to hear that The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks for the DS can be purchased in a sturdy (don't take our word for it) and quite awesome tin game box.

Spirit Tracks: Limited Tin Edition is actually a pre-order bonus and is available from Gamestation's parent company GAME. Price tag is set to be £39.99 while the regular Spirit Tracks is £29.99.

22,802: Total Number of Words in Scribblenauts

My bad. I should have said "alleged" total number of words you can conjure in 5th Cell's latest Nintendo DS game, Scribblenauts. That is if you would be believe the word of a hacker who claims to have hacked the game's ROM and extracted the full list.

Scribblenauts is a sort of puzzle game where you try to obtain "starrites" by typing in words to help you out. The fun in this game is you are only limited to your imagination. Want the help of a rhino? Type it in! Need a pterodactyl's assistance? You got it!

It is in our opinion that obtaining this list would do you no good. Where's the fun in looking through a long list of words trying to figure out what works? It wouldn't hurt to peek though ;)

Dementium II Box Art: Scary

If Dementium for the Nintendo DS didn't give you the creeps, then congratulations to you mt dear friend. It made me almost throw my DS Lite in sheer terror to say the least. And now Dementium II is about to come out, and it's sure to give guys like me new nightmares to look forward to. Just look at its awesomely designed box art.

DodoGo: Roll Dodo Eggs to Safety

Envy of PSP owners playing LocoRoco? Then envy no more, fellow DS owner -- DodoGo is here! This little game might not be a LocoRoco, but it sure has similar gameplay, mechanics, and charm!

In DodoGo you are tasked to guide Dodo eggs to safety. By using your stylus, you can perform awesome stuff such as connecting pulleys, placing springs and changing the land. Predators are out to eat your babies so be sure to be wary of those.

Here's the official DodoGo trailer for your perusal.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box Trailer

OMG! It's really coming! I've been waiting for the second Professor Layton game since... well since I finished Professor Layton and the Curious Village! Here's the trailer for Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box!



The Professor Layton series for the DS is a puzzle video game where players have to solve puzzles to move the story along. It sounds boring when I write it but those who've played it knows what a gem this game is. There are currently three games in the series and there's three more to come in 2010.

Take Your Pokemon for a Walk Pokemans!

What if I told you that a new Pokemon game, Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, will soon be out? What if I told you a Pokemon on that game can be build experience if you take a walk it? Meet the Poke Walker.

The Poke Walker uses the same technology as Personal Trainer: Walking. The more you walk with this device in your person, the more experience and presonal affinity your Pokemon will get. Also, this cute little device generates "watts" which you could use to catch creatures and such.

Blood of Bahamut Release Date

Japanese gamers are most delighted to hear that they'll be getting Blood of Bahamut earlier (as usual). The action/RPG title for the DS is set to be released in Japan on August 6. 2009.

Blood of Bahamut is a DS game like no other, often referred to as Final Fantasy meets Shadow of the Colossus because of the fact that you fight from the back of a gigantic giant aptly name Gigant. Oh and you fight other giants too. I hope they are named better.

Here's the latest Blood of Bahamut trailer:
