Ninjatown on Nontendo DS - Anti Ninja

Introducing Anti-Ninja.....

"Blend in by standing out..."

This ninja isn't so much against ninjas as he is the anti-thesis of being a ninja. After all, day or night, it's hard to blend into the background when you're wearing bright orange robes. Still, even though his ninja master often shakes his head in disgust, Anti-Ninja knows he looks fab since orange is this year's black.



Motto:

"Blend in by standing out..."

Mr. Bean game on Nintendo DS

Mr. Bean on Nintendo DS.

The DS version follows the release of Blast Entertainment’s Mr Bean Sony PS2 game that hit retail in November last year, which still sells consistently well and continues to earn a place in the Chart track top 40 PS2 budget chart each week.

Mr. Bean’s Holiday was released in more than 66 countries around the world in March 2007, grossing more than US$230 million at the Box Office and reaching no.1 in 28 countries around the world.

The game includes 12 fun-packed levels full of cunning puzzles to encounter and crazy traps to avoid. Dress up as a pirate on your mission to save teddy and battle baddies with fyring pans while negotiating your way through exciting 3D locations. The Nintendo touch screen techonolgy is utilised in the exclusive Whack a mole event! 92% of children under 11 are great Mr.Bean fans and 67% of children under 11 watch the TV series regularly, according to Film Audience Research and so the game has been developed to specifically target this younger audience.

Blast’s Head of Marketing, Kirsty Payne commented: “We are delighted to be bringing Mr. Bean to Nintendo DS. Both brands are currently enjoying huge sales at retail and combining them is great news for consumers. Such is the popularity of this title, that we are planning to release a Wii version later this year”

Game Seed studio announces the Twisted Iron track's release for Nitro Stunt Racing.

Like a torture instrument, the Twisted Iron's elaboration can be compared to the most extreme roller coasters: danger is around every corner, the slightest swerving can be fatal.

With such a vertiginous layout, this track doesn't leave anything to chance. Its fastness requires a total control of the vehicle to avoid collision. But unlike its predecessors, where racing lane optimization and aerial control were a must, Twisted Iron challenges the tenacity and dexterity of the players. To face these mind blowing tubes, the self-control is the only way to the finish line.

Twisted Iron is proposed for free to the NSR Stage 1 license owners through the update 0.2.3.8 which also includes bug fixes, list of which can be found on the game forum.
