While finishing up our quarterly TPS reports this month, rumor spread around Infendo headquarters that the DS just wasn’t being played that much anymore. Jack and Derek said they rarely touch theirs—even though touching is good. And I must admit I haven’t played DS as often as I used to. Is this because:
- Normalcy. The DS is almost six years old. Like all aging consoles, it’s natural to pick them up less in their golden years.
- Lack of games. The DS just doesn’t get as much high-profile game love as it used to.
- Lack of excitement. The portable has been there, done that written all over it.
Which is it, readers? Has the DS lost its mojo?

The long wait is finally over as Cave Story will appear on the Wii Shop Channel under the WiiWare tag next week. Cave Story is one of those games that is old school yet it feels refreshingly new. If you haven’t played it or heard anything about the game… I suggest you check out this video.
Any Cave Story fans excited about the games release next week?

Wii owners are long since familiar with the “Plastic Plague” of crappy gaming peripherals that have come our way. Even Nintendo themselves are guilty, creating a plastic wheel, and the infamous “zapper,” both little more than plastic molds to cram your remote into. For me, the former always left something to be desired – the official plastic shell places the trigger at the front of the weapon, and moves most of the remote’s buttons out of the player’s reach. Why didn’t they do a better job? Why doesn’t somebody else do a better job?
Well, somebody did. Sort of.

I’m somewhat of an artist in my spare time, and I thought I can’t be the only one. Over in the forums, we’re starting something for the artist in each of you. We’ll introduce a theme, and give you a month to work on your creation. When you’re done (whether its a pencil sketch, ink doodle, full color photoshop creation, or cosplay), post a picture in the forums. At the end of the month, we’ll hold a vote and let you, the Infendo readers, declare a winner!
So grab that sketch pad, boot up Illustrator, and show us what you’ve got! I know I’ll be posting some of my own work in the contest as well.

If you would like your chance at winning a Jirachi, one of the rare legendary Pokemon, be sure to listen and participate in the Live Podcast this Wednesday. We usually begin a show around 9pm or 10pm EST, and the selection will begin after the show is done recording.
This is a legit Pokemon acquired from one of the giveaways held by Nintendo, and will be traded to the winner after the show. So be ready to trade. Rumor also has it that this Pokemon will do something cool if you use it in Heart Gold/ Soul Silver and the PokéWalker.
You can head over to the live chat: Here, Here , or Here

After nearly 1000 votes, 59 percent of Infendo readers say they own more than one current generation console, which include Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3. Given that the majority of Infendo readers are gaming enthusiasts, that’s less than one might expect.
It’s also soft proof that the majority of gamers only own a single console, because let’s face it: video games can be expensive, both in terms of dollars and time required to play. Thanks for voting.

An interesting release this week is Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon, but reviews haven’t been all that awesome. Meanwhile, more Pokemons. Oh, there’s an awesome Castlevania game for Virtual Console, too.

It seems that Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva could be heading over seas sometime in the future. This all comes with speculation due to the recent Professor Layton web page on Encore Films. The website contains information about the film and the game series, as well as information about the movie being shown in Japanese theaters with Chinese and English Subtitles.
While there is no confirmation about Eternal Diva heading to the US or Europe. Yet, the real question here is… If the Professor Layton movie does make it overseas would you go see it in a theater?
