Homebrew developers with a scary name, such as “The Dark Master” possibly reflect the scariness to their homebrews too. As the titel “Last Survivor” tells, you are possibly the last survivor of a tragedy. Build yourself a home, avoid monsters and discover the secret.

Nintendo do have their “Seal of Quality”, but what does the homebrew scene got? Up till today possibly nothing.

From now on Jayenkai scans through the new NDS homebrew, picks out the best stuff and awards an NNI badge to anything that would live up to the scrutiny of Apple’s Appstore.
