Mushi King Greatest Champion (New)

Nintendo DS
Action
An off-beat beetle battling title from Sega in which players look after a fairly sizeable insect such as a helmet beetle. Other beetles can then be challenge to bouts with entertaining techniques and secret specials used to take down the rival bug. Although insect collecting is more acceptable in Japan, this sort of game could see the phenomena spread. Known in Japan by its full title of Kouchuu Ouja Mushi King Greatest Champion e no Michi DS.

Naruto 4

Nintendo DS

Naruto’s ninja skills are well tested in over sixty varied missions involving taking enemies down, collecting items, even acting as bodyguard. Utilises the stylus and microphone well to initialise special attacks during the heat of battles. Also allows for selectable extra moves to be added to your characters repertoire pre mission adding a tactical element. Plenty of unlockable characters hidden in there too.

Naruto Ninja Council 4 (New)

Nintendo DS
RPG
Famed anime utilises the DS stylus in fine fashion as players must pull off special moves. The platform fight action is pretty relentless and the ninja theming makes for beautiful bamboo backgrounds and some catchy chip tunes in a Japanese style. Full title Naruto Shippuden Ninja Council 4. Known in Japan as Naruto Shippuuden Saikyou Ninja Daikesshuu 5.

Naruto Shippuuden Dairansen Kagebunshin Emaki (New)

Nintendo DS
Action
Naruto charges around in his much loved way, never being far away from ninjas jumping out of the bamboo forest (at least the wolves had an excuse to be sniffing around the trees.) The combat is fast, suiting the pacing of the anime in this superb, delightfully drawn action RPG.

New Super Mario Bros

Nintendo DS
Platform
The best-selling DS game and its easy to see why with Mario in his element in the platform levels and it perfectly suited to the DS handheld. Hats off to you Mario.

Ninokuni Limited Edition (New)

Nintendo DS
RPG
Anything that the hand of Studio Ghibli touches screams animated gold and this emotive RPG is no exception. Right from the start Oliver sheds a tear wishing his mother would return and its the emotional investment in this exquisitely animated adventure that makes it so worthwhile. The accompanying Magic Book contains simple drawings that can be copied onscreen to unleash powerful attacks in the Final Fantasy style battle sequences. Miyazaki’s characters seem to almost transcend language and speak from the heart. Unless of course we are just trying to gloss over this being Japanese language… Yet should this fail to make a translation, to miss out on it would surely be the more heinous crime…

Nodame Cantabile (New)

Nintendo DS
Rhythm
Based on the hit manga series that was made into a popular live action drama starring the young conductor and the affections of Megumi Noda or the Nodame of the title. The bulk of the game involves conducting the orchestra and the stylus is utilised to near perfection for controlling the innovative rhythm action. The quirkiness of the manga shines through in the madcap mini games – such as running across the moon avoiding falling comets or the funky Taiko no Tastujin tribute taking advantage of the Bandai Namco connection.

Ookamiden (Best)

Nintendo DS
RPG
A real triple A title that brings to mind the delights of Goemons romps with a feudal Japan setting. The graphical look is innovative and feels like an animated New Years greetings card with such delightful execution. Played as the young wolf setting out on an epic adventure which we would hate to ruin. A real treat for lone wolfs from start to finish and worthy of higher accolades.

Oshiri Kajiri Mushi Rhythm Lesson DS (New)

Nintendo DS
Rhythm
Bottom Biting Insect might be a good translation of the title, but we are not too sure what the spam detectors will make of it. The NHK phenomena was so big that the song guested on the New Years celebration programme in Japan. Not a good tune to get stuck in your head, but theres great musical variance here as players tap away in very colourful environs to witness the successful bottom bite at the end providing the stages are cleared. Very enjoyable and great for a quick tap rather than an epic adventure.

Osu Tatakae Ouendan

Nintendo DS
Rhythm
From the creators of Gitaroo Man comes another fresh and funky heady mix of rhythm action and wackiness starring a group of male cheerleaders out to brighten up every day chores, although not as camp as that sounds. Such chores include helping a ghost tell his girlfriend he’s ok, assisting the over worked office lady to get a dream date with the boss and assisting a loose bowel-ed musician through an underground journey. Control is via deft flicks and circles of the stylus pen and soon becomes intuitive. Unique graphical style, toe tapping J Pop covers and perfectly suited to the DS. Bravo. Known in the West as Elite Beat Agents.
£34.99

Otogi Jyuushi Akazukin

Nintendo DS
Puzzle
Also known as Fairy Musketeers, players get to tackle the puzzles with a definite slant on action rather than anything heavier. The frillier side of the game is also explored in the costume section where new outfits are adorned. Konamis style is certainly present in abundance as the presentation and pointy ear, maid and fantasy protagonists have had every effort made on them.

Pac Pix

Nintendo DS
A Bit Special
Namco does a heroic job of reinventing its yellow pill muncher making use of the DS to innovate and originate. Play begins by drafting a quick sketch of our little yellow friend who then trots off to the bottom screen. Pacman is then controlled by the stylus on the upper screen with appropriate flicks taking him where required. Skills honed in early stages are soon called on in full as the action heats up, such as being able to draw arrows or bombs. Boss encounters provide an opportunity to demonstrate a bit of lateral thinking adding much to the overall experience. As an extra there is a sketch book to enjoy seeing what happens when a few creative doodles are produced. Pure gameplay, highly original and exactly the kind of title Nintendo preached the DS stylus would deliver.

Update of the GBA original which became a big hit. The use of the stylus adds an extra dimension to the refreshing concept. Combines the refreshing delights of the Made in Wario series with funky, fly beats therefore taking the gameplay on to a higher plane by combining demands on visual and aural reflexes. With such delightful gameplay its hard to put down but unless you got rhythm you wont see the credits roll.

Super Black Bass

Nintendo DS
Sports
Cast off a lakeside line and aim for a good spot on the map. The lure needs dragging along the water to tempt a passing bass into snaffling it up. Its there that the battle commences with the powerful bass to use technique and patience to land a battler. All without the whiff of groundbait and rollies.

Super Robo Gakuen (New)

Nintendo DS
Simulation
Taking characters and inspiration from many anime series including Gundam Seed, Super Robo sees plenty of battle against rival mechs with even more pre bout bravado. Combat is intuitive and the battles whiz along as the robot school proves a little too cramped for so many famous machines.

Tadashii Nihon Go DS (New)

Nintendo DS
A Bit Special
A great learning tool for intermediate aficionados of the Japanese language which has simple problems and multi choice answers to make the most of the stylus. Nicely illustrated too and the interactive nature of the DS with effects and instant feedback make studying fun rather than a chore.

Touch Kirby (No Stylus)

Nintendo DS
Action
Hal Laboratory pulls out all the stops once again as Kirby bounds around the screen to be controlled by the players deft use of the stylus in drawing a small line to shift their direction. The end game is to get to the magic mirror or door and their players enjoy a wee bonus stage. Similar to Famicom Mario having to jump as high as possible on the flagpole, the player gets Kirby to launch along the ramp to launch them as far as possible. Beautiful backgrounds and full of Kirbys stylish colouring.

Wario the Seven

Nintendo DS
Platform
Wario enjoys his spell in the spotlight as he steams around the platforms head butting blocks and finding out about Marios beloved pipes. Complete with those touches that make a game a Nintendo title such as snow falling on Marios head and turning him into a snowball to roll down the slope. Or getting caught in a bubble until Wario gets pulled up to the surface. Brings back the fun to gaming and a spring in your fingertips.

World Soccer Winning Eleven DS Goal x Goal (New)

Nintendo DS
Sports
The DS sequel plays a fine game of footy with the bottom screen being used as a radar map for the top screen. Passes veritably ping along and the lack of buttons doesnt prevent the manoeuvres from the big console brothers being executed with some panache. The shop can be used to upgrade players skills and even a fruit machine pops up every now and then to reward managers with a new player. Still putting in the hard work on the training pitches gets the real results.

Yoshis Island DS

Nintendo DS
Platform
Sequel to the seminal Super Famicom platformer with child like cartoony crayon squiggles and cheery colours making for a bright and breezy platformer. The key as before is to not lose Yoshis passenger for too long so the punishment of instant death is lessened encouraging exploration for the hidden coins and areas. The attributes of Yoshis passenger also come into play with Peach able to slow down falls Mary Poppins style with her brolly and Mario can rebound eggs off walls for tactical shots at seemingly unreachable targets. The double screen DS is put to good use – sometimes only the bottom screen can be used to see the enemy masked up top as in the clever clash with the ghost in the mirror.

Zekkyo Senshi Sakebrain

Nintendo DS
Action
Club Nintendo exclusive but the ghost memberships were well worth the effort when playing this wee belter. Strangely expansive for a give away title (well for those with the required points) with atmospheric rain lashing down on the Goemon style towns through which our samurai be suited players stroll. Plenty of opportunities to test martial arts ability soon prevail with the mic being used to issue commands to your player such as kick or punch. Players can also transform into a lycra suited sentai with the feel of plenty of cheese and ham as in Ouendan as the over the top transformations take place. Multiplayer only for two or three players and players must work in true Wa harmony to beat the bad boss.
