Pippi Longstocking is making her shocking return to relevance with a new Nintendo DS game. She appears to be more terrifying than when she was last seen in the nineties, though. She now seems to look like the last thing very ...

When Tecmo Koei first revealed that it was working on a crossover between Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition, heads were understandably turned. While I'd have much preferred Dynasty Warriors, the concept was nonetheless intrigui...

From the makers of 99Bullets, the DSiWare shoot-em-up which limits the amount of ammunition the player has, comes 99Seconds. As you can see in the trailer above, 99Seconds is a game of object avoidance and survival in which the player's movement accelerates until colliding with an object and the goal is to last as long a possible. Looks like another fun, simple game for DSiWare. Neato.

Has anyone ever played Flipper on DSiWare? It passed me by, but I should give it a look. It's a puzzler about a boy and his goldfish. So very touching. Flipper 2: Flush the Goldfish is pretty much a sequel in name only. This...
