Disney wants you to get social on the DS with their Dgamer service

Filed under: ,


Joystiq has all of the deets on a new social network launching for the DS from Disney Interactive called Dgamer. The service is to launch with the upcoming Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and will be included in all Disney titles from there on out. The service, which will allow users to create custom avatars, chat wirelessly and track their friends' progress in Dgamer titles, will also allow users to log in to their account at Disney.com, for further accessibility. The overall package resembles a fairly popular online networking service on another console, wouldn't you say?

The rub lies in the fact that before you can add friends to the network, you still have to exchange friend codes. As if we could get around that ...

WRUP: Post-E3 playing plans edition

Filed under:

With E3 coming to a close, you've no doubt many things to think about this weekend. Upcoming games and future enjoyment of them is probably on your mind right now, as it is ours. That doesn't mean your, or our, responsibility to enjoy some nice gaming over the weekend can be overlooked, though!

So, we ask: what are you playing? What will you be rocking in your DS this weekend? We've got some Puzzle Quest to play ourselves, having only given the game a few minutes of our time on its initial purchase.

DS Fanboy presents: Game Night 7/12/07 aftermath

Filed under:


Last night's Game Night session was less of a Game Night and more of a "sit in chat for awhile before playing a handful of matches" night. It was sad to see, as we were all excited and ready to play Planet Puzzle League. We guess you guys just don't enjoy the game, or a majority of you weren't able to secure it yet, full of intentions of doing so. Regardless of the why, we're going to make sure next week is a good night chock full of gaming by only including our top "classic" games into the poll.

Cast your vote below!

What should be our theme game for 7/19/07?
Mario Kart DS
Tetris DS
Clubhouse Games
Animal Crossing: Wild World

DS Fanboy presents: Game Night 7/12/07

Filed under:


With all of the craziness that comes with E3, we still need to remember the important things in life. Important things like our wonderful Game Night gaming sessions. Last week, we didn't put up a poll to select tonight's game, so we're just going to call it ourselves. Our theme game will be ...

... none other than Planet Puzzle League.

Of course, just because it was voted doesn't mean you have to play it. There'll be plenty of folk there without that game, looking to play other Wi-Fi compatible games. The only way to find out what people are playing is to show up.

Before getting in on the action, however, you're going to want to download an IRC client (we use mIRC). As usual, we'll be meeting up in a chat room set up by reader ConstyXIV. The server is irc.freenode.net and the room we'll be in is #dsfanboy. Remember to be in the chat at 7PM EST (to find out what time that is for you, check this out) to take part in the carnage! Come early to get friend codes if you haven't been with us in past weeks, and check this topic for those which get added in the comments.

DS Lite case has that 50’s feel with modern functionality

Filed under: ,


Doesn't this look like one of those big purses from back in the 50's? Maybe a purse someone might sell Avon out of? It reminds us of the crazy town in Edward Scissorhands for some reason. But, upon opening it up, we're shown that it isn't all looks with this case. There are compartments for cartridges, the unit itself, as well as any accessories on would need.

Sonic Rush Adventure trailer speeds on by

Filed under:


While all the news revolving around Sonic as of late has to do with the upcoming RPG game he is set to star in, another Sonic title has brought forth a trailer to rest your eyes upon. After looking it over, it would seem that Sonic Rush Adventure is very much going to keep the same flavor as Sonic Rush.

Which, you know, is a good thing.

Poll results: Do you play with friends in person?

Filed under:


While our original poll topic title might have placed a few dirty thoughts into your head, we assure you we never meant to do so. What surprises us, though, is the fact that many of you apparently seem to enjoy playing your DS in the actual physical company of your friends. Why does that surprise us? We don't have any friends.

We could probably make some if our cruel overlords let us out of our cages every now and then, though.
