Wow Populus! where did that spring from? I had no idea.

Also what happened to Cave Story DS?

Hadrian, it says on the Flower, Sun, and Rain Wiki: here

that ''An enhanced Nintendo DS remake (entitled Flower, Sun and Rain: Neverending Paradise in Japan) was released in Japan on March 6, 2008, and a European release is scheduled for October 2008.''
... is that true?
Europe: November 14th
North America: TBA 2009

not one good game?

is it HADRIAN disAPPROVED week?
I've not really bothered this week with approving things but just because it doesn't have a stamp it doesn't mean that I think it'll be bad.

It was just a homebrew project and I think the original developer had nothing to do with the DS port. Like with most homebrew projects, it'll probably never be finished.

wow its gonna be a bad week but im looking forward to naruto path of the ninja 2

 

[Ruri]

Culdcept DS deserves more than a one-line mention!

 

[HBK]

Any more info on Cesar Millan's Dog Whisperer, Hadrian?
The missus loves his TV show, so that's about the only game on this week's list that's relevant to my interests...

The only party friendly thing about Wii music is the handbells rhythm aspect.

Everything else, especially the main 'Jam' mode is kinda ridiculous.
Picking an instrument and waving your wiimotes around just seems so 2 years ago.

This should have been a launch title.

I like to not rely on them at all for dates, they make a lot up to drum up pre-orders (same with IGN, damn you cnet Peter). All I know is that the publishers website says its out on that day. It could be wrong now but when I wrote it, it was right.


And for whoever wanted to know about Cesar Millan's Dog Whisperer. Its a game by Ubisoft so don't expect it to be any good, especially seeing that they've not talked it up or released any media for it but I did find this info:

"Cesar Millan's Dog Whisperer uses interactive games to teach Cesar Millan's world-renowned methodology and help owners understand how their dogs' minds work. The player is confronted with 40 different common dog issues and, using Cesar Millan's guidance, learns how to deal with each of them."

So expect to tap the screen quite a bit and make "Sshh" noises into the mic through a bunch of mini games.

Only one Hadrain Approved?

So you're saying gameplay will be similar to the Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass?
Just kidding - and thanks for the follow-up.

someone needs to hack army men to use a green army guy skin/model instead of a damn tiny kid

it might make the game a bit enjoyable, if not a bit nostalgic

Battle of the Giants: Dinosaurs

Region North America Genre: Dino Battling
Developer: Ubisoft Publisher: Ubisoft

Being Ubisoft, you'd think it would be called Dinzsuarz.

Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs brings all the mysteries, wilderness and variety of the world of dinosaurs to Nintendo DS. In the game each player will have the opportunity to incarnate the dinosaur he prefers. Pick a favourite out of 26 different species, from the ravenous predator to the witty scavenger, and defend your territory in nine different maps, each with unique features and all-new threats. Customize your dinosaur using special eggs earned through victories in combat, earning new thorns, feathers and bones that will make yours the strongest dinosaur.
