IGN DS has an article on Japanese games that they would love to see translated and made available in the States. Should they need to convince Nintendo to do so, they should point out to Nintendo that there’s an active community out there striving to translate these Japanese works and these guys look to be [...]

With all the talk about Nintendo’s anti-piracy efforts, including its anti-piracy website and filling lawsuits (in Japan) against the importers of a pioneer Slot-1 flashcart (which enables running of pirated ROMS on the DS), the big N is still not doing enough. A quick check on ebay.co.uk yielded posts such as: new pink nintendo lite [...]

Paid a visit to the brand new Tesco hypermarket nearby my house earlier today. It’s one of those new concept Tesco stores that are more like shopping centers; there’s not only the hypermarket but also lots of other, smaller shops and restaurants located under one roof. And like many shopping centers, there’s a store, or [...]

I finally managed to find the box art for the official Nintendo DS Flash Cart, the DS Vision by am3. Here’s a shot of the front cover, taken from Play-Asia’s catalogue (click here for more details)

The game was a 2D platformer and even though I’ve played it as a kid, I remembered distinctively that the hero was a ninja that could jump really high, and one of the enemy [...]

A big shout out to Pizza Pasta (The New New Era) for a very helpful tip on getting Earthbound Zero to run on the nesDS. I’m quoting his comment verbatim: You might know this by now but Earthbound Zero is totally playable in NESDS, you just have to mess with it a little on your [...]

Welcome to the Ninth Edition of The ROM Report, and a Happy New Year! Today’s post is partially inspired by Retrojunk.com, because I really like the site’s articles on NES and SNES games. Without further ado, here are the SNES games that I tested with SNEmulDS running on my R4DS/Nintendo DS: Robocop 3 – Runs [...]

Welcome back to The Rom Report, currently in Issue Eight. Here’s where you’ll find what retro games from the NES, SNES, Genesis, and Gameboy eras will work on a modern day device such as the Nintendo DS with the help of homebrew emulator software! I came across this back-issue of Retro Gamer at a local [...]
