Sorry guys I am currently having some site issues. There are new Revolution pics that have been posted on the web recently and for some reason, my site is not letting me post pictures. Be sure to check them out here. Which ever you prefer they’re both quality sites. Thanks guys!
The hits just keep on coming with the DS; Leading video games developer and publisher NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that its classic arcade series Point BlankDS, will make its debut on the Nintendo DS in Summer 2006. With stages from all three games in the series being included in the new game, fans of the series will have their hand-eye coordination tested, by using the DS stylus as their weapon of choice to shoot down everything from clay pigeons to aliens in the mini games of Point Blank DS. Another welcome into our continuing growing DS library, Point Blank DS will have players tapping their way to victory as they take on four different difficulty levels in over 40 different stages including Namco’s popular coin-op arcade series digitized for the first time.
The portable return of the series will also have five modes including:
1). Arcade: Play through four different levels of difficulty in a variety of mini shooting games.
2). VS: Challenge your friends using the wireless feature to find out who’s the quickest draw (requires only one game card)
3). Brain Massage: Play through various stages while the game analyzes your abilities and gives you feedback.
4). Freeplay: Select any stage at any time to challenge your best score.
5). Games Museum: New stages adapted from Namco’s classic coin-op arcade series.
I have never played the first games but was always intrigued by them. I am looking forward to this one as I missed the first games. What do you guys think?
The following is a RUMOR about the price of Nintendo Revolution. This news hit kotaku and is considered a rumor. Here is what the site had to say. “Good news, North American brethren. Well, maybe. Toys R Us is apparently pricing the Revolution at $399.99 Canadian dollars ($344 US). One reader was told by a friend working at the store that the console was already in their systems and listed at the previously mentioned price. “Although they aren’t advertising this as the price, she was pretty certain that this would be the final cost. Sounds good to me take that for what you will,” writes our tipster. Considering that Nintendo has hinted at a low-priced console, the $344 price-tag might be a placeholder.”
I personally think that the Revolution will be cheaper in price than this statement. I think Nintendo’s 5th console should be in the ball park of $200.00. Only time will tell. Maybe that’s the big news at GDC. We will be sure to keep you posted on this rumor.
