Welcome to the next generation of crosswords
And now look where that advertising has ended up, thanks to Majesco, who actually manufactured and sold Genesis and Game Gear systems before they got into game publishing. Put some fresh batteries in your Nomad and take the trip past the break for the original commercial from which the clue takes this slogan. SEGA!

Time Hollow's Japanese release date is irrelevant to time travelers
People who enjoy drawing circles around things should go circle March 18th on their calendars, because that's the day the temporal circle-drawing adventure Time Hollow will be released in Japan, according to the official website. Of course, if you have a magic time pen or something, you can just go into the future and pick it up. The updated site also features a swanky wallpaper in which Horo Tokio is in the process of changing your past from inside your computer.Famitsu has a few new screens of the game along with their announcement of the release date. In addition, Siliconera is reporting that the Japanese release of Dance Dance Revolution Supernova 2 will include the Time Hollow theme as a playable song. It's a big day for ... that one adventure game!
DS Daily: Not without my dual screens
Since the DS is portable (ain't life grand?), there's probably a game or two you just can't do without. You know, the ones that go with you everywhere. The games that are perfect for that few minutes when you can sneak away and relax into a favorite experience. What is it for you?

Namco Bandai fires Gundam OO onto the DS
Also, if you love a good dose of
Phantom Hourglass gashapon does not help our financial situation
You'll have to forgive
Which gashapon you receive is entirely random, though as they're all pretty fantastic (and did we mention cheap?), we can't see a lot of people complaining. Not when we'll happily take any like-for-likes you receive off your hands. We're kind like that, you see.

Detective Conan detects a sequel
Namco has dropped news that it will be bringing Detective Conan 2 to the DS come sometime next year and is based on the popular manga and anime in Japan. But, wait, what about Detective Conan? Why haven't we heard about the first game?Well, it was apparently a loose collection of minigames much like those found in the Brain Age games, which could possibly understand how it flew below our radar. The sequel, however, is going to be a more substantial game, with an honest-to-goodness story and will even have Wi-Fi Connect compatibility for up to four players. According to Siliconera, however, the gameplay is going to be very reminiscent of another Namco title in Quickspot, where the player will have to spot differences between pictures in the top screen and bottom screen of the DS.
The title is currently slated for a spring 2008 release in Japan and be sure to keep an eye on DS Fanboy for information as it develops.
Purple DS, Purple DS
Seeking to convert his girlfriend, Rachel, into a handheld gamer, DS Fanboy reader Shawn wrapped this custom-painted Nintendo DS and put it under their Christmas tree along with copies of Nintendogs, Cooking Mama, New York Times Crosswords, and My Word Coach.
In order to achieve that smooth shine, the system was disassembled, sanded, primed, spray painted, then finished with a high gloss clear coat. Shawn chose the metallic sparkling purple, the color of royalty, because it's his girlfriend's favorite color. You can follow the project's progress and see more photos of the painted DS on Shawn's Flickr set.
Show and Tell: A little post-Christmas spirit
Remember, if you have something to show off, we want to see it. From crafts to cakes to collections ... whatever you've got, if it has a little Nintendo flavor, we want to see it. Just take some pictures (or copy your web album links) and send them to showmeit [at] dsfanboy [dot] com. We'll take care of the rest.

2007's crop of crap games
Though we put together our own list of terrible DS games just two weeks ago, the more recommendations we have on games to avoid, the better off we'll all be.Aside from erroneously describing Lifesigns as a Trauma Center clone (Kenshuui Tendo Dokuta saw its Japanese release six months before Atlus' surgery sim), Pocket Gamer's ten worst DS games of 2007 excellently outlines which of this year's games you shouldn't spend your hard-earned money on. It has an even sampling of shovelware (e.g. MinDStorm: Train Your Brain and B-17 Fortress in the Sky) and titles with potential that fell flat on their faces (e.g. The Settlers and Lost in Blue 2) -- this way, you're not only warned of games that obviously suck, but of games that mask their severe failings until it's too late, as well.

Professor Layton and the Curious Release Date
We're just going to go into a store about once a month and be happy if we discover that Professor Layton actually got released. We'll be even happier if that discovery occurs this year.
