NDS Freakz

Well after a short month, I finally got around to polishing this app off and releasing it .

Mario Paint Composer DS is an indirect remake of the music composer tool found in the Super Nintendo game “Mario Paint” with a few new adaptations which I added in from the PC version created by unFun Games (http://www.unfungames.com/). Please note, I am not responsible for the pc version, these two programs merely share the same name and that is all. This is not a direct port of any version, it is completely coded by myself.

Features:

-Saving and Loading of songs
-Sharp and Flat notes
-more lower ranged notes
-4 new note types
-4 notes per can be played at once rather then the 3 limit
-Longer songs

Feel free to check out the forums for songs to download, to share your own creations, report bugs or even to drop a suggestion you would like to see in the next version.

The forum can be found here: http://nds-help.com/mpcforum/
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE README.TXT FOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTROLS.

News last night that Nintendo plans to release a new model of it's unbelievably popular DS wasn't that surprising. But what was surprising is that a company whose beliefs seems so firmly rooted in attracting the broader, less tech-savvy general audience would decide to add music playback and picture taking to one of its core machines.

What we still don't know is if this is a Japan-only device or one headed for world release, something I suspect we'll find out with the upcoming Nintendo press conferences. Either way it seems that Nintendo is dipping it's toe into the waters currently inhabited by the Playstation Portable and iPhone. For years Sony and Nintendo have both argued, on some level, that the PSP and DS don't really compete because the machines approach gaming in such different ways. Now it seems that if this new media DS gets off the ground, that won't be as true.

But with the PSP gaining ground in Japan (Reuters reports that PSP's unit sales exceeded the DS's in five consecutive months through July) can the DS directly compete with it when it comes to those expanded features? And what about the iPhone and Touch and its growing gaming support? Does Nintendo stand a chance in the realm of gaming and media devices?

Spuzkaizer performs an update of its Shoot Them Up "Touhou DS" ready for a maniac shooter?

I've added a lot more stuff since the last release. The game part is now 90% working; you can script characters, enemies and bosses. Refer to the manual for a short tutorial and more info about the available commands. Most of the things left are non-critical or don't even influence the gameplay at all: score, homing shots, continues, boss explosion is a bit, erm, underwhelming. The one thing that really is pretty important is levels. There's only one level and it never ends -- I'll add multiple level support in the next version.

Last week, Sega opened up a teaser site for a mysterious new RPG that was being produced by Rieko Kodama of Phantasy Star fame, directed by Kazuya Niinou of Ertain Odyssey fame, and would feature music from Yuzo Koshiro of Streets of Rage fame. Famitsu managed to unearth proper details on the game, including a name and first gameplay information.

Titled 7th Dragon, this new fantasy RPG is set in the world of Eden, a world that is ruled in large part by seven dragons and their massive armies of dragon minions. The lands that are ruled by the dragons grow a special flower which sucks the life out of the land. When the whole of the planet is covered in these flowers, mankind will become extinct. The only hope for survival for mankind is to hunt down and defeat the dragons.

7th Dragon combines overhead exploration with party-based battles. During the overhead sequences, you travel through the land, visiting different continents, islands and republics. You move about on an overhead 2D map that's shown on the top screen. Meanwhile, the bottom screens houses a world map that's updated in real time to show how much of the world is controlled by dragons and how much by humans.

Battles take place from a side perspective, and feature big-headed version's of the game's characters engaging in party-based fights against large dragon foes. Your party consists of four members, but aside from that details on the battle system are a bit lacking at the moment.

Players will be able to freely create their own characters. You can select from a variety of character types, including fighter, mage, rogue, knight, samurai, healer, and princess (princess?). It also appears that you can freely select skills when creating your party members.

7th Dragon will see its full unveil at the official 7th Dragon website on the 26th. Sega will be hosting a teaser movie on that day, so those who are interested in this latest in fantasy RPG gaming should be sure and check back.

Ignition Entertainment has scooped up the rights to bring Blue Dragon Plus to DS in both North America and Europe in March 2009.

Ignition says Blue Dragon is a top-rated show on Cartoon Network in the US. We wouldn't know as we've never seen it but we've put plenty of blood, sweat and beers into the 360 RPG. We got to disc two and everything!

The DS version is looking like a 30 hour monster by the way. It was also directed by ex-Final Fantasy man Hironobu Sakaguchi, who fathered the 360 version.

Official story stuff says: "The story of Blue Dragon centres on a young boy named Shu and several of his friends who possess the ability to control phantom shadows that mirror the actions of their masters. In Blue Dragon Plus, one year has passed since Shu and his companions defeated the tyrannical remnant of the Ancients, Nene.

"In the midst of the battle, the world split in two and now consists of a myriad of cubes that exploded from its depths. King Jibral notices a mysterious cube in the distance suddenly start to move violently, and from it he sees the Shadow of a Balaur, a three-headed dragon, emerge. The enormous and sinister Shadow is just the beginning of the new turmoil and devastation to come."

In what should surprise absolutely no one, DS title Pokémon Platinum is selling lots and lots. According to data from Famitsu publisher, the game has sold 967,675 copies in the first two days it's been on sale in Japan, which is of course almost a million copies in two days. Gotta sell 'em all, you know.

Small update for 1.0.2.6 and final version for Linux.

Emu changes:

• Fixed a bug in savestate routines.
• Fixed a bug in BGxCNT registers.

• Fixed a bug in timers.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the IRC channels.... another web browser with a silly title is announced! Except this time it is by someone who has a history of actually releasing things. What's more, here is the first release.

I started this a couple of days before DragonMinded announced his 2.7 alpha series with web browser included. I thought it would be impossibly difficult and so far I've been right. There is a lot of tag soup out there.

It is currently buggy and incomplete. It really does the minimum to allow you to search stuff on Google and that's about it. However, it is proper Free Software (GPL), compiles using all the latest stuff (devkitArm r20, dswifi 0.3d, etc) and there is an issue tracker for you to add your feature wishes/bug reports to.

Please keep in mind:

• It uses wi-fi auto connect. So routers only and configured from an official game, I'm afraid.
  
• It has the font compiled in - originally it read them from the card but...
  
• ... my EZF 5 has stopped working, so DLDI is now more or less un-testable by me.
  
• The keyboard is crap
  
• It has no history feature (yet)
  
• There is no cache (this is good since it means no corruption and bad since it goes slower)
  
• No, it doesn't support Flash, javascript, images, style sheets (or most HTML in fact).
  
• There is a lot of room for optimisation - "make it right, then make it fast"
  
• I can only test on the phat DS, so it might not work at all on the lite.

Crackdown clone, well, supposed to be.

This build is a very early test bed and is only playable on No$gba.
You need to emulate 2 DS in order to use the mandatory wifi feature.

Basically, you see others players listed, you choose one to challenge. The other accepts and then you access the game.

3D on both screen + wifi + bugs :)

You move on the same playfield and you can see your opponent moving on your screen. You can run, jump and rotate.

You can also admire the pink textures supposed to be transparent (I'm currentlly strugling on the development forum)

This Project (though is not the same as before, i'm keeping the name) aims to create a Card Battle engine for RPG games on Nintendo DS, mimicking the Baten Kaitos series's card system. If you haven't played such games (shame on you!), there are some pretty good YouTube videos like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXtd26BWJwM to show how the system works. Basically, you have cards that control your characters movements and actions, and played in certain order will resultin flashing and devastating attack combos.

Instructions:
* L/R changes the music
* Touch a card to display its name
* Touch a card while holding Down (or B for left-handed players) to discard it
* Touch a pair of cards while holding Up (or X for left-handed players) to swap them
* Touch a character miniPotrait to set him/her as the "selected character"
* Touch a card while holding Left (or Y for left-handed players) to play it
* Once you play a card, a combo will start, and the timer will activate. Try to finish your combo before the time runs out.
* To play cards in a combo, make sure their numbers go in ascending order like 0->1->2->3->4. You can start the combo with any card, but numberless ones won't result in a combo.
* Once the combo starts, the helping system will find the next playable cards and point them.

Important Notice: I realized that other nds homebrew sites are mentioning my project linking directly to this post, so for people who come here looking for the latest release I'll attach the most recent build (version 0.011) right here in first post (look below). Look the rest of the topic for updated controls and info.

Went from b to c because of a 2 small bugs. One where you could select a blank space when loading a file when there were less than
10 files in a directory. The other had to do with sprites being loaded incorrectly when both /r and /n were at the end of each line.

Added one option to top screen, press gear icon to turn top options on when screen is switched.

Press little icon near corner of palette to enable palette size changing. 8x8 blocks max, 2x2 min. Press same icon to stop.
(small note... believe it or not, both the palette and any loaded bmp are on the same 16 bit layer...)

More Options button on Options screen is in progress, right now does the same thing as Done...

You can now see as many files as you want in the sprites, palettes, and bmps directories. Can't go into other folders though...

Fixed a couple of minor bugs, and one that kept multi-frame sprites from updating correctly...

Hold fill icon for about 1 1/2 seconds to go into persistant fill mode. Press again to stop.

Hope I didn't forget anything...

The Game
A simple puzzle platform game. Get to the exit to complete each level.
Be aware, though.. This game is more a Puzzle game than it is a Platformer. There are many weird grid-based things that are leftovers from that style. Most noticable is Platdude's very specific Jump. One up, Three across.
The Blue Circles (Super Precious Gems!!) are collectable. You don't need them, but there's a total on the main menu. Get 'em all, and you get to say "I got 'em all!"

The Controls
There's two jump buttons, and a hold button.
The hold button, B, can be used to dangle from hooks, vines and red floors. It can also be used to drag red boxes.
The two jump buttons, Y and A, jump left and right respectively. It's easy once you try. If you really dislike it, you can switch to single button jump on the main menu, but I wouldn't recommend it! Some things happen too quickly to stop and turn around!

The Level Packs
Level packs can contain many many levels, but each level must be played in the order layed out in the pack.
No saves! If you die 3 times, you're right back at the start.

The Editor
Tap the middle icon on the titlescreen to enter the editor.
Draw a level.
Hold a trigger, and a Wipe/Quit and Test button appear at the bottom. If you test a level, and subsequently complete it, and you can then also Save it from this same Trigger-based menu. Note : You can only save a level if you've managed to complete it! You don't need all the gems, but you do need to get to the exit.

The level will be added as a simple line of ascii text, to the bottom of the JNKPlat/MyLevs.lev file on your card (assuming you're using the DLDI version, and have added the JNKPlat folder to the root.)
Each line is it's own level. Feel free to copy+paste these lines to build up your own little level packs.

Sprite Designing/Testing/Creating/Animating On the GO!

Just so it's clear and the purpose of the app isn't in question (as I think it might be) this is intended to be a developers helper in designing/modifying sprites, particularly for use with PALib, but since there is a binary export now I'm gathering they could be used with any dev platform (not like there are many others...).

This is NOT meant to be a stand-alone a program where you make neat-o animations.

A big thank you to Mollusk and the community for me PPC reported duplicates on 40 levels (sometimes there was a simple rotation level, but it is still a duplicate).
I Updates: 04. FUND DS and 07. NEW FUND DS.

It should be noted that 07. NEW FUND DS has undergone other changes, namely:
Deletion of table movements to better see the image at the top.
Fixed a bug when displaying a level too big (it remained the Tiles of column 31, when leaving, gasp in horror).

How to install
This is very simple.Just copy the file named "DsOS_installer.nds" to your flashcard and then run it.At the end of the process the DS will turn off automaticlly after 5 second.Then you are ready to use DsOS.

How to use
After install run DSOS.nds from the root of your flashcard.You'll see the file browser with all file supported(now only folder, mp3 and zip files).To open the file just click on it and then click on the button "OPEN", you can also copy,cut,paste and delete files.For now you can only play mp3s redecoded in mono with lame from pc in this way:
lame -mm infile.mp3 outfile.mp3 and open outfile.mp3(or another name^^).You can pause an unpause the mp3s with L button.
When you open a zip file the DsOS will create a folder with the name of the zip file and it will extract all files and folder from the zip in that folder.
With Left and Right button of the pad you can change the app to a basic calculator or to a menu that allow you change settings of DsOS(now only the brightness if you have a lite).
That's all for now, enjoy.

Changelog:
+Added a sort of media player(now only for mp3) that is a playlist where you can add mp3s from the file browser, and then they will be played in succession.
+Added an auto update function
+Added lua support but i've to add many other function, now there are only some function to operate on files, the control for pad and a print function(so this is just a test)
*Fixed a bug that stop mp3s working during a copy of a file or an Unzip function
*Fixed a bug that makes the CUT button don't working
*Minor bug fixes

Bakaban published a demonstration version of the puzzle game Orscol. The goal is to operate as many cases as possible of the color shown on the right side of the screen above (in just five seconds).

Features :

1. In addition to the advantage of bonus
2. More than different levels
3. The roulette in the upper screen to denote the bonus
4. The stones for a moment ...
5. Fashion puzzle: a limited number of laps ... Fashion puzzle: a limited number of laps ...

1. Fashion Challenge: a number of points to reach ...
2. Multi-players

Obama Says: Yes We Can is a Simon Says game based on Barack Obama's New Hampshire Primary speech, as later turned into song by will.i.am. Watch the game create a pattern of button and direction presses, and repeat that pattern correctly to score! The more you get correct, the harder the patterns become - can you keep up?

Read the readme.txt for more information.

Requires a DS (obviously) and a flash cart, such as a R4 or Neo MK5. If using an emulator, I recommend No$GBA.

Last month's 360/PS3 FIFA 09 screens had the ripe whiff of Bullshot about them (hey - we could be wrong, let's see them in motion) but this crop of Nintendo DS shots seem much more likely.

We don't know much about what to expect from the pocket-sized version, but it looks pretty good - nice use of the touch screen for tactical overheads and a decent enough 3D match view up top.

FIFA 09 will be kicked into touch on all consoles, everywhere, on October 14th.

Hello!

I have released DSwiki v0.1beta1.
DSwiki it is an offline viewer for the wikipedia or all other wikis which are based on the mediawiki framework.

This version now supports (nearly) arbitrary large Wikis, e.g. the english Wikipedia can be completely read.

A sample wiki (German Wikiquotes) is available here: http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/DSwiki-sample-data.zip
The interface language is german, but there are only some status messages.

Pre-made wikipedia-dumps for DSwiki

• Deutsche Edition: http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/DSwiki-dewiki-20080712.torrent
  Wichtig: Nach dem Download ist der Index-Bugfix von http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/fix-dewiki-20080712.rar herunterzuladen, mit dem zwei Dateien überschrieben werden müssen.
• English edition: http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/DSwiki-enwiki-20080724.torrent
  Important: Download the index-bugfix http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/fix-enwiki-20080724.rar too and overwrite one files with it. In addition, the big file has to be split, follow the instructions in the included README.

An ergonomic extension that mimics a guitar fret board and fits seamlessly in people’s hands to deliver the same core gameplay that defines Guitar Hero, it gives players the ability to finger chords in similar fashion as the console version's guitar peripheral.

Gotta catch'em all!" is the infamous tagline of the pokemon franchise, and to aid, as well as add a bit more fun to your catching process Nintendo has released a new DS console for you to conduct your pokemon taming activities on.

Two new pokemon, Dialga & Palkia from the Diamond Pearl fame have made their mark on the new console.

The controllers of time and space are featured on both the DS system and the case that comes in the pack. Printed in gold and silver, the graceful beasts stands out most sharply against the black backdrop on the DS and its case.

Aside from a chic case, the package also comes with a DVD of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness and a collectible mini poster.

As we expected, Apple's "Let's Rock" event yesterday offered some new iPods and a new version of iTunes—even if the unveiling didn't quite meet our expectations. But Steve Jobs and Co. had something else to deliver as well: a clear message that his company now has its sights set directly on the portable gaming market, with very real and very high aspirations for App Store games for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Jobs even showed off a new ad touting the new iPod Touch as the "funnest" iPod ever.

Apple's mobile gaming goals go far beyond fancy new versions of Bejeweled and Tetris—Jobs yesterday called for "a whole new class of games." It's now clear that the company is gunning for the big boys: Nintendo and Sony, whose DS and PSP platforms, respectively, have dominated the portable video-game market for years. Here's why the old giants should be scared of the new kid on the block—and why they shouldn't.

3 Reasons Nintendo and Sony Are Running Scared:

1. Buying iPhone/iPod Games Is Quick and Simple
Because games can be purchased directly on your iPhone or iPod Touch via Wi-Fi or the phone's 3G network, it's easy to overdo it. Psychologically, pressing "Install" just isn't the same as plopping down a few bills at your local GameStop, so a spend-happy gamer may be likely to buy three or four games in a binge. And because iPhone and iPod users can buy games anytime, anywhere, they never have to worry about stock shortages—or ever getting up from their couch.

2. iPod Games Are Cheap, and Increasingly High-Profile
Very, very few iPhone/iPod games cost more than $10. Meanwhile, very few Nintendo DS or PSP games cost less than $25. And while the DS and PSP games are usually big-budget affairs that dwarf a simple iPhone Sudoku application, this gap is rapidly closing as high-profile developers increasingly port big games such as Spore and Need For Speed to the iPhone and iPod.

3. iPod Games Can Be Expanded and Updated
It's almost inevitable that a big game will have a few bugs or glitches that aren't discovered until after launch. There's usually little Nintendo DS and PSP players can do other than grin and deal with the glitchy gameplay. But iPod games can be tuned to check for updates and heal themselves whenever bugs are found. The iPhone 3G makes it especially easy for developers to deliver expansion packs, adding levels and characters to successful games.

3 Reasons the Gaming Companies Can Sleep Easy ... for Now:

1. iPods Are Touchscreen-Only
In some ways, the absence of a keypad is a boon to innovation when it comes to mobile gaming—it encourages developers to think up creative workarounds using simple tilts and touch gestures. But it's not perfect. This is true for both big, complex games (there's a reason the touchscreen DS also has a full keypad), and with the retro/classic gaming that mobile platforms traditionally excel at (we'll never get used to tilting our phone to manipulate Tetris blocks, and Space Invaders just isn't the same if you can't properly mash your fingers against buttons). Finally, buttons are still far more precise than Apple's accelerometer.

2. Parents Won't Buy iPhones For Their Kids
The Nintendo DS costs just $129. The PSP? $169. These relatively low prices make them very attractive to parents out shopping for an electronic babysitter. Not only do the iPhone and iPod Touch cost considerably more, but they simply aren't toys that can be thrown into the hands of young children. They have large, fragile glass touchscreens, no restrictions on Internet browsing and come linked to online stores. To the extent that gaming is for children, Apple hasn't figured out how to corner the market yet.

3. Games for Dedicated Systems are Much Bigger.
It's hard to ignore that even the high-profile iPhone/iPod games are pretty stripped down, usually playing like drawn-out mini-games that rely on one or two touchscreen-, or accelerometer-driven gimmicks. No matter how pretty a game is, if the gameplay just involves tilting the screen left and right, you won't play it for long. Dedicated gaming systems typically feature more complex games with stylistically different levels and elements. On the other hand, too many big applications will just slow the iPod Touch and iPhone down. Lets put it this way: The Grand Theft Auto series soared on the PSP, but will likely never come to the iPhone (and we're not so sure we'd want to play it if it did).

This is a program which is useful for fencers, referees, directors, and coaches.
FencingApp basically is an all in one timer-scorekeeper-cardcounter-coinflipper(for overtime priority).

Explanation:
First choose your mode,

Pools-5 points, one period.
DEs-15 points, three periods.
free-unlimited points and periods.

Press A to start the timer (it will beep so u know).
Press it again to pause it.
Record Fencers' scores with L and R (when the timer is paused)
If a fencer gets a card (for ex. Yellow) Then click on the yellow card in the touchscreen.
Pressing Select Resets the time (You must do this when a period is finished).
A triple beep will sound when a period is over.
The number above the timer is the period you are in.
When the bout is over a results screen will pop up and you may have each fencer sign

This Reason Behind it: Too many times I have directed a bout and had to use a
clipboard, timer, pencil, etc... All at the same time and usually something gets mixed up, usually the score & the number of cards.

This is an ASCII Art Maker for Nintendo DS that I made for fun. Some people on my regular IRC channel liked it, so I thought I'd release it here, to hear what other people have to say. Written with devkitARM and PAlib. You can draw with whatever character you want, both upper and lower case.

Quick start:

Select button: Bring up the keyboard to select a character.
L/R button: Choose the drawing color.
A+B at the same time: Clear the screen.
Touch-screen: Draw.

Select the Space character to delete tiles.

Each tile takes up 8x8 pixels, and the total tile-grid is 32x24 tiles. Saving is not yet implemented, but probably will be in a later version.

At E3 a Square Enix representative told us Chrono Trigger would include a single screen classic mode for purists and here it is. This is a screenshot from the DS arrange version or Chrono Trigger classic with the addition of enemy HP meters on the bottom screen. I guess Lucca’s default accessory, the Sightscope, is completely useless if you’re playing Chrono Trigger in arrange mode.

If you want to play Chrono Trigger with touch screen controls the battle menus appear on the bottom screen with huge buttons. The benefit of touch screen layout is less clutter and no more enemies hiding under the ATB meter.

The Game
A simple puzzle platform game. Get to the exit to complete each level.
Be aware, though.. This game is more a Puzzle game than it is a Platformer. There are many weird grid-based things that are leftovers from that style. Most noticable is Platdude's very specific Jump. One up, Three across.
The Blue Circles (Super Precious Gems!!) are collectable. You don't need them, but there's a total on the main menu. Get 'em all, and you get to say "I got 'em all!"

The Controls
There's two jump buttons, and a hold button.
The hold button, B, can be used to dangle from hooks, vines and red floors. It can also be used to drag red boxes.
The two jump buttons, Y and A, jump left and right respectively. It's easy once you try. If you really dislike it, you can switch to single button jump on the main menu, but I wouldn't recommend it! Some things happen too quickly to stop and turn around!

The Level Packs
Level packs can contain many many levels, but each level must be played in the order layed out in the pack.
No saves! If you die 3 times, you're right back at the start.

The Editor
Tap the middle icon on the titlescreen to enter the editor.
Draw a level.
Hold a trigger, and a Wipe/Quit and Test button appear at the bottom. If you test a level, and subsequently complete it, and you can then also Save it from this same Trigger-based menu. Note : You can only save a level if you've managed to complete it! You don't need all the gems, but you do need to get to the exit.

The level will be added as a simple line of ascii text, to the bottom of the JNKPlat/MyLevs.lev file on your card (assuming you're using the DLDI version, and have added the JNKPlat folder to the root.)
Each line is it's own level. Feel free to copy+paste these lines to build up your own little level packs.

Aerthel updated his Nintendo DS homebrew game "Project Sheratan".

This Project aims to create a Card Battle engine for RPG games on Nintendo DS, mimicking the Baten Kaitos series's card system.

Changes:

1. Created classes for management of characters. (Sprites from www.spriters-resource.com)
2. CardTray class created for checking player's card selections and transforming them into character actions.
3. Also a lot of less important changes (changed bottom-screen background and the helpBar texture, erased some debug info and a LOT of code cleaning)

Bilou has released a new version of his sprite editing software suite for the Nintendo DS. Using the DS's propreitary touch screen you can easily create sprites for your own projects quickly and with precision.

What's New?

Small step for me, milestone for humanity ... maybe. I'm trying to make SEDS more user-friendly, mostly by hiding all the debugging messages that noone cares about and replace them by some "tutorial" messages that teach you step by step how you can do pixel art with my little homebrew.

So if you're wondering "how am i going to do xyz", try pressing L and R simultaneously, and you should enter tutorial mode. By the way, it's also the first release featuring a decent palette editor.

It's been a while since Nintendo updated its Club Nintendo premium rewards list, but today an update came in a big way. Six new presents are available for members, as detailed at a notice posted at the Club Nintendo page.

The presents include the following:

Game & Watch Collection 2

This DS cart includes two Game & Watch titles, Parachute and Octopus, both from 1981. Nintendo is even including an original game. Titled "Parachute X Octopus," the new game promises to combine the two Game & Watch games in a sea-based setting. Pricing is set at 500 points.

This 25 track, 64 minute CD includes music from games like Wii Sports, Wii Fit and Animal Crossing. It even has music from the Wii channel interface, including the Avatar Channel. Pricing is set at 400 points

Mario Party Trumps

This card set makes use of artwork from Mario Party 8. The cards can be used not just for card games, but as a puzzle, with players lining the cards up to form a picture in 7-narabe. The 54 card set (including two jokers) features bridge sized (89x58mm) cards and includes an instruction manual for the 7-narabe game. Pricing is set at 300 points.

Mario & Luigi Mini Pouch

This set of two mini pouches are meant to be used for coins and other small items (presumably DS cartridges as well, judging by the size-comparison pictures Nintendo has posted at the above page). The pouches are made of nylon and EVA and measure 80x110x25mm. It should be noted that Nintendo also offers a similar shaped present which is used as a soft case for the DS Lite. These new pouches are smaller and will not hold your system. Pricing for the set is 250 points.

Nintendo DS Lite Pouchs

These nylon, EVA, and polyester pouches are available in red, yellow, green, and orange. They measure 90x160x35mm and can hold your DS. They also have an internal pocket for two games. Pricing for each pouch is set at 250 points.

Original Mario badge

These Mario badges are original Club Nintendo designs. You can select from four different types. Each runs 250 points.

A neat little word search game by Bandit. I love these things :)
