DS Daily: Peripheral party

The DS might not be a system that can immediately benefit from peripherals, what with it being a portable games machine and all, but that hasn't stopped some from coming up with cool stuff to attach to your beloved. Whether it's something as simple as a stand or a wicked awesome controller, there's been some advancements in the field.

So, we figured we'd ask you what you were all rocking. Whether it's just a simple case that protects your DS, or something home-made, let us know what kind of fun stuff you have for your DS. If we covered it on the site, link it in the comments!

First screens for Theme Park DS

EA has issued out the first screenshots for the upcoming Theme Park DS. A port of the PC game, there are few details still on the features this port will have. So, we're still in the dark on the game's features, but at least we now have some screens of the game to gawk at. We've included a hand full of them into the post, after the break.

EA: DS great, PSP not so much

You know what they say, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. We kid, we kid, we love those guys over at PSP Fanboy and thank them for this latest nugget of news.

Recently, EA executive VP and COO of worldwide studios David Gardner slammed the PSP, citing that Sony has some serious issues they need to address in regards to the platform. Admitting that his company has backed the PSP more in the past, he now claims that they will invest more effort into putting games out for the DS.

"There's no doubt that EA has historically bet more on PSP. I think we were excited by the technology, but the consumers have proven that actually what they want is fun. We must never forget that what we need to focus on is fun and so EA is putting more effort behind DS games – and creative ones that really take advantage of the hardware."

Ouch. It's no wonder that the company is going this route, being one of the handheld's biggest porters supporters. With all of its major sports and non-sports franchises gracing the system, the company has undoubtedly taken huge losses due to lackluster sales. Hopefully the company will keep Gardener's word and not look to just port everything over to the DS as it did with the PSP, stripped of all features.

Nintendo takes 2nd in list of top American publishers

Next Generation commented on what they believe to be the top 20 publishing giants in America recently, placing Nintendo in 2nd, behind Electronic Arts. Citing the exceptional quality of both their hardware and software, Next Gen was also quick to state the challenges ahead for Nintendo and their Wii (stop laughing) in the year ahead, despite a very strong showing at E3 a little under a month ago. With a solid software lineup in the coming year, along with continued growth of the DS and its library, its an easy assumption to see Nintendo enjoying immense amounts of success in the near future.
