Nintendo DS News
Nintendo Adventure Books: Monster Mix-Up DS is a digital version of the gamebook of the same name written by Bill McCoy and published by Archway Paperbacks in 1991.
It is best described by the book’s introduction:
“Dear Game Player: You are about to guide me through a great adventure. As you read this book, you will help me decide where to go and what to do. Whether I succeed or fail is up to you. At the end of every chapter, you will make choices that determine what happens next. Special puzzles will help you decide what I should do—if you can solve them. The chapters in this book are in a special order. Sometimes you must go backward in order to go forward, if you know what I mean. […] Good Luck! Driplessly yours, Mario.”

Fight on both screens to kick the monsters out of the dojo before your master comes back. Use your shuriken and dashes to increase your chains and fill up your ‘badassery meter’. When your chains go high enough you can activate ‘rumble time’, which allows you to chain even more precise.
Release notes:
While busy doing all kinds of stuff I somehow quite spontaneously decided to go back and polish Dojo Rumble some more. Previously soundless, it now not only features sound, but also some kickin’ tunes, a few updated sprites and a new ‘endless’ mode. Also new is a small reward for finishing easy or badass mode: namely, a red outfit with matching rumbling-red shurikens.
If you are not familiar with any rumbling in the dojo:

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.
Changes:
– Fixed crash when returning to launcher from AGI games

5nake is based on the oldschool Snake games but with a few new features and modes.
The modes:
* Mission; where the snake must collect fruits, powerups and progress through a series of levels to unlock them.
* Practice; where you can play one of the levels from the main game with no limits.
* Survival; where you have a limited number of steps, collecting fruits gives you more steps.
There are a variety of powerups to help you on the way including: slow motion, don’t grow, shrink, score multipliers and extra lives (Easy and Normal difficulty only).
The game includes a save feature that can keep track of high scores, custom levels, unlocked levels and unlocked goodies. (It can be disabled if it causes problems with your card or if you don’t want to save your progress.)
There are a variety of graphical themes including unlockable ones and 3 difficulties to choose from, the game also feature a Level Editor so the player can create his own levels.
Programmed by “JustBurn” and “MattTS”. Music and sound effects by “Kepler”.
