DS News | Digimon World Dawn / Dusk
Later this year, Namco Bandai will release three new Digimon titles: Digimon World Dawn and Dusk for the Nintendo DS and Digimon World Data Squad for the not-dead-yet PS2. The DS games look to follow the same format as the dual Pokemon releases we have all come to be familiar with, but with a certain twist: The pair of titles boast "parallel and interweaving storylines" told from two different sides, in this case a conflict spurred by a massive earthquake. There will be over 400 new monsters ...

DS News from N4G | Digimon World Dawn / Dusk
DS - Digimon World Dawn / Dusk - Digimon World: Dawn & Dusk On GameSpot GameSpot (and GameFaqs) have just added two new pages under their DS section. Those games are Digimon World: Dawn and Digimon World: Dusk. These games are the English versions of Digimon Story Sunburst & Moonlight (as you can tell by the URLs).

This is most likely their names, just keep in mind that this is no official announcement, it is just a new page on GameSpot. Maybe if Agumon waves his tail enough, we will get the game soon.

DS News from N4G | Diner Dash: Sizzle and Serve
DS - Diner Dash: Sizzle and Serve - Move over Halo 3: Online games offer free play CNN Money reports:

For all the hype about Microsoft's Halo 3 video game, ten times as many people have played the hit online game Diner Dash. Diner Dash, developed by PlayFirst, is a so-called casual game - an inexpensive, easy-to-learn online game that appeals to a wider, younger audience.

Casual games are played on a Web site or downloaded and, due to the cheaper format, they don't bring in the kind of money that traditional video games generate The casual game industry struggles to get players, particularly young ones, to pony up to play.

Now casual gaming startups in the U.S. like PlayFirst are experimenting with the "microtransaction" concept that's been a hit with kids. The microtransaction model is hugely successful in South Korean and China, which use it to combat piracy.

Diner Dash, played by more than 200 million people, has made $40 million in revenue from the $20 model since it launched in 2004. PlayFirst CEO CEO John Welch says their paying customers are now skewing much younger, and he believes they have hit the formula...

[The news story also mentions other casual gaming companies, titles, and models including Club Penguin, Nexon (Kart Rider and MapleStory), Tencent (Chinese), Boonty (Cafe.com), Pogo.com, and Kongregate.]

DS News from N4G | Dinosaur King
DS - Dinosaur King - E3 08: Sega Blowout: Dinosaur King Destructoid writes: "Now we have a trailer (after the jump) and screens from Climax Entertainment's Dinosaur King, a game our own Tiff Chow described as "Rock, Paper, Scissors with dinosaurs shooting lightning and using wrestling moves."

At a glance, this game looks like another Pokemon knockoff -- albeit with dinosaurs -- and after reading the fact sheet I'm not so sure that would be an inaccurate observation. Instead of capturing the 100 available dinosaurs inside tiny red and white balls, however, you'll need travel to archeological sites across five continents and dig up fossils with your stylus. After you revive the unearthed dinosaurs you will, of course, make them fight other dinosaurs with the 240 plus moves available.

Dinosaur King will be releasing sometime this September. Does it look like something you might be interested in?"

DS News from N4G | Disgaea DS
DS - Disgaea DS - Atlus and NIS America tag team for Disgaea DS and Rhapsody: A Musicial Adventure Destructoid writes: "I love Atlus and I love Nippon Ichi Software, and those sons of bitches know that they have people like me in their pockets. I can't break away. They could sell me almost anything!
Thankfully, they're selling the good stuff. They send word that this obscure game dream team continues to bring in the niche hits with Disgaea DS and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. Oh, and Disgaea 3 for the PS3, of course."

DS - Disgaea DS - Disgaea 3, Witch's Tale and Rhapsody updates

Last night publisher NIS America revealed their fall lineup, and for the first time in memory there was a lack of PlayStation support. Instead the company, known for its charming RPGs and affection for hand-drawn anime art over 3D cutscenes, revealed a major push into the Nintendo DS market. Makes sense, seeing as neither PS3 nor PSP have the same kind of pull as DS at this point. So, what do level-grinding RPG fanatics have to look forward ...

DS News | DK Jungle Climber
Donkey Kong Jungle Climber is a neat climbing/platformer/puzzler for DS, but we can't help but think that Nintendo must have given up even trying to create a compelling storyline for the jungle swinging action. You can check out the first shots by hitting our Images tab, but for a chuckle, check below for a quick synopsis of Jungle Climber's befuddling ...

DS News from N4G | Don King Presents: Prizefighter
DS - Don King Presents: Prizefighter - Letter from Don King Declared Ripten writes: Among the deluge of press releases we receive daily, it's nice to see a little bit of effort exerted for once. This "letter" from Don King, declaring that "language can't describe the sheer magnitude of magnificence" of his new game, seems to be representative of the hype we can expect to see more of for Prizefighter, which King considers "the best anything ever".
