Even before we took a turn in the exclusive Nintendo Airstream (read about our experience), it was tempting to view Donkey Kong Country Returns (preview) as the only Donkey Kong title releasing this fall. But while that Nintendo Wii title is sure to overheat sales registers this holiday season, Nintendo's DSi and DSi XL have their own Donkey Kong game: Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem.
True, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem features the big ape primarily in name, but it's an entertaining title even without the swinging simian …

The Simpsons Nintendo DS Preview
September 9, 2007 By Leave a Comment
Say what you will about licensed games, but Electronic Arts is giving The Simpsons a franchise-worthy outing this fall with its entire slate of The Simpsons videogames (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PS2, PSP and DS). But while the console versions are shaping up to be fun, the Nintendo DS version is flat-out astounding. In fact, pound for pound and pixel for pixel, there might not be a better gaming value this year.
The Simpsons for Nintendo DS largely follows the core plot of the console versions, but in a 2D world and with gameplay twists …

Magnetica
March 28, 2006 By
The Game Developers Conference isn't exactly known for having games on display. Rather than the show-and-tell session of E3, the annual GDC is all about business, about developers meeting with vendors and publishers and helping their projects come to fruition. But this year Nintendo had a plethora of Nintendo DS games on display, and the game that grabbed most of my attention was probably one of the most unassuming titles at the show.
Magnetica is a game much like Tetris, in which players line up like-colored objects to eliminate them and clear …

Lego Star Wars 2
February 15, 2006 By
Not such a long time ago, in a console not so far, far away, a game called Lego Star Wars (review) shuffled onto the scene and, in spite of its tie-in to the prequel films, did surprisingly well. Whether it was the kitschy take on the newest Star Wars characters or the simple pleasure of gathering yellow-Lego "coins," Lego Star Wars won over many a heart here at DailyGame, not to mention the hearts of our kids and spouses. We didn't care that it was based on three arguably bad films; it was a fun game, and that's all that mattered.
So imagine …
