Don't Feed The Animals is a strategic defense game about children who have been hoarding their treats all summer in their backyard fort. They've attracted the attention of the local wildlife (the backyard is on the edge of a forest). To defend their treasure, the kids use all the materials at their disposal to create three types of robots: melee, sound and water bots. These bots act like a tower does in a tower defense game, keeping the enemy from the base. Each bot has certain strengths and weaknesses against different enemies. The enemies include bears, raccoons, rabbits, turtles and cats. Play through 50 levels consisting of waves of animals - increasing in difficulty - who attempt to steal the candy. Should a creature reach the base, it will take a treat; this treat must be recovered or it will be lost. Should a boss reach the base, the game is lost. Successfully fend off the animals so the children can enjoy their end-of-summer feast.

DSiWare Game Tracks Your Face For 3D

, , , ...

The culprit is Rittai Kakushi E Atta Koreda (3D Hidden Images: Found It!). This nifty little DSiWare game, just released in Japan and that goes for only 500 DSiPoints (around US$5), uses the DSi's camera to track the user's face and eye position to generate the illusion of 3D without the need for any special glasses. As the video shows, the effect is quite impressive.

N+ Member Recomendation: Bomberman Blitz

, ,

Bomberman Blitz, from Hudson, is a new download for the DSiWare service. The Wii's Nintendo Channel has a very good preview video of the game, which got my attention because it looks like a full offering of Bomberman's classic gameplay style, but with 8-player multiplayer modes in local or Wi-Fi play. The game also includes maps that cover both screens, and training modes to help you hone your skills.

This member recomendation comes from Chas4, who wrote his own mini-hands-on! We whole-heartedly approve. If you have some extra DSi Points floating around and don't have a clue what to do with them, download this title. It's fun in one-player mode, but its AMAZING when you have some friends around!

WiiWare Demos Coming To Japan

, , , ...


According to reports by IGN UK, Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's CEO, has admitted to investors that the current WiiWare and DSiWare market is small. But he offers a solution: WiiWare demos.

He states that as a part of a test program, a few WiiWare titles are going to be offered with a demo, with which he hopes to increase the market by luring more users into the service this way. This is because they are aware of the fact that most users only browse the WiiShop channel (or the DSi one) when they already know which title they are going to buy, which limits the market possibility a good deal. He does go on, however, to admit this is not THE solution to this particular problem. So, let's see how well this one plays out.

So far, there are not reports as to whether or not the service is going to make it outside of Japan.

Square Enix Titile to Hit DSiWare This Week (Japan)

, , ,


Square Enix will be releasing this week it's mobile title, Kuni Yaburete Sanga Ari (Hills and Rivers remain) onto DSiWare. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, such title is only slated for a Japanese release, with no word on whether or not this title will ever make it outside Japan (let's hope it does, as long as it is a good one).

The game features 4-player wireless gameplay, updated stylus control, and according to reports, some exclusive maps when in multiplayer mode. The game will be sold at 800 DSi Points (around US$8) and will be available from October 28th.
