KuruKuru Chameleon DS

Four sisters of the forest challenge players in games of puzzle action where colored contiguous hexagrams are spun to match the color of the player's crest. The aim is to dominate the playfield with over 50% color hexagrams in your favor to win the bout. As playfields and opponents are conquered, more convoluted playfields appear which affect the way that color swaps may be made. KuruKuru Chameleon was originally released in the arcades and made its way to the PSP before heading for the NDS this week. Strategic considerations and tactics are required in order to conquer more territory than the opponent. Three game modes are featured along with a wireless versus mode where two players link up with 1 game card.

Mascot Touch Pen DS Lite

Pikachu teams up with the creatures from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl in a set of touch pens from Japanese manufacturer Jupiter. From the left and going to the right, the touch pen sets are as follows:

» Pikachu and Naetoru on yellow and green touch pens respectively
» Pikachu and Hikozaru on blue and orange touch pens respectively
» Pikachu and Pochama on red and blue touch pens respectively


The Pokemon are mounted atop a coiled spring and wobble to and fro when the touch pen is used to scribble and scratch the Nintendo DS screen. Each pen measures 12cm or roughly 4.75" in length from the tip to the top of the Pokemon.

The Toubou Prisoner

A seeming crime of passion and a false accusation earns the protagonist a trip to the big house. While en route to prison, the paddy wagon flips and careens into a fence. With a new lease on life, the hero runs from the burning vehicle and into the neon-lit avenues of a gritty metropolitan city. Since it's towards the evening hours, the streets are peppered with ladies of the night in suggestive clothing and a number of regular Joe Sixpacks. The hero has 10 hours to make his way out of the city and escape the criminal element (Mafia, if you will) on his heels as well as the police who are after him.

As the back story goes, the player's character was a reporter who investigated the Mafia which led to his false accusation and subsequent frame and conviction. Can he clear his name in 10 hours and evade the hooligans on his tail? By using fists and the ability to abscond a victim's clothing, the hero can disguise himself to look like an average Joe or even one of the prostitutes. For example, hero may walk up to a streetwalker and beat her down. Once unconscious, hover over her while pressing the "O-Button" furiously to make the clothing swap. By using disguise, thug tactics, and theft, the hero makes his way out of Los City. «more»
