Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories

If you have ever played Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, you are going to love this game. So, why do they call it Re: Chain of Memories? Well, one of the main reasons is that the Game Boy Advance game is evolving into the Playstation 2. It has new features taken from Kingdom Hearts II, such as the ability to use reaction commands, and some exclusive Re: Chain of Memories features, such as the added boss: Zexion, and the voice-acted scenes.

Like its GBA version, it involves the use cards to battle. Again, like Chain of Memories, three cards = a sleight (a special move or ability). It has all of the features of its previous version, so no surprise there. Few of sleights have changed, some of them involving reaction commands. The HP Bar of the enemy has changed to the look of that of Kingdom Hearts II with no other color coding, and it is has a number of bubbles to indicate how much has gone down. It is a little bit easier to notice how much has actually gone down, unlike the original. As for Sora's bar, it is basically a flipped upside-down and opposite version of KH1 and KH2. They also are deciding whether to add Kingdom Hearts 2 Keyblade cards because of the version included with Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix that released in Japan.

So, what is the score?

7.5/10

+ New features
+ New cards
- Old features
+ New sleights

Release date: December 2, 2008

Nintendo DSi

Who thinks that the DS Lite still rocks? Well, whoever says so is wrong. You see, Nintendo is going to release the 3rd Edition to the DS series, the Nintendo DSi. Here are some pros to the DSi.

-SD Camera with 2GB, no need for R4. Pictures can be edited with the patented touch screen

-VGA Resolution, and 300000 pixels large, which works out to 640x480.

-Superard EZFlash, & M3 Cyclo DS

-DSi comes with DSi Points for you to buy games released when the DSi comes out. (This is only a Special Offer to people who buy the Nintendo DSi from it's release till 2010, after 2010 they will not give out free Points, so buy it fast.)

-Internet Connection!!! (I mean the internet connection that lets you actually be on the internet like YouTube, Google, Yahoo, ETC.)

-Possible to Download Games and Store Them in DSi using DSi Shop

-17% Bigger Screens(3.24 Inches)

The only real con is that there is no backward compatibility, but still, you can get the games from DSiWare.

Now for the score:



9.95/10 / 99.5%

This is one thing that is flawless even though the score is 99.5%

Note: Japan released this console on the day after Halloween. Europe plans to release it on Spring '09. As for the Americas, we can't be sure what month it will be released on, but it will be released in 2009.

Star Wars Lightsaber Styli

In tribute to Star Wars the Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance, LucasArts and Nintendo wanted to form a styli, one with a pack of 3, and one with a pack of 2. What's so special about a pack of two lightsaber styli? They LIGHT UP!!!!!! Isn't that cool? You get to play in the dark all night! I'd recommend buying this stylus. You would be doing yourself a favor.  Anyways, the pack of 3 is still pretty awesome. I mean they're mini sized. The pack of three includes the colors, Jedi Blue, Sith Red, Yoda Green. The pack of two contains the colors Sith Red and Yoda Green. One drawback to this is that they don't fit in your DS, but honestly, who cares?! By the way, I am going to start giving numbers and percentages.

The number is...... 10/10.

This is an excellent product to buy. I am going to buy it on the release date, November 30, 2008. Buy it athttp://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DS-Star-Light-Lightsaber-Stylus/dp/B00196XE34 and at http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DS-Star-Wars-Lightsaber-Stylus/dp/B00196VCLU/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_img_b

Pokemon Platinum

The sequel to Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl is rumored to be released in Early 2009. Pokemon Platinum is, in fact very similar to that of Diamond. Still, there are extremely notable differences. There is the new Regi Factor, which is the exact opposite Diamond & Pearl's Factor. Instead of needing to get Regirock, Registeel, and Regice to capture Regigigas, you need to get Regigigas to catch the other three Regis. There is also the new Rotom Factor, in which if you get a Wonder Card, you are allowed to go to a room with 5 red household appliances. If you choose one of the them, Rotom will change to said form, (such as Water Rotom, in the form of a washing machine.) They have also fixed some bugs. In Pokemon Diamond, in the Poketch, you could only scroll through the apps one way, forward. Now you scroll backwards. They have revamped Gyms, and have changed the way you have to get to the Gym Leader, as well as they revamped the Elite Four Rooms. The storyline is similar to Diamond, but yet, it feels so different. There is another place added to the quest. It is called the Torn World.

Honestly, this game is a complete paradise for the Pokemon D/P/P series. Mainly because they fixed the bugs in the game.

Lime Green DS Unannounced

Word on the internet is that a Lime Green Nintendo DS Lite is in the making, but Nintendo didn't announce it yet, unlike Ice Blue. I believe that it should be released, no questions asked. Green being my favorite color, it is without a doubt, my favorite, but I also think that other colors for the DS Lite should be released along with the Lime Green, like the Nintendo 64. Even though they have already released seven colors, they should make even more. It would be nice to have over 100 colors for the DS Lite.
