NDS Video Game

My daughter is turning 5 this Thursday, and we decided to get her a Nintendo DS as a gift. She played with one that belongs to her cousin and loved it. She is just learning to read, so some of the games that are rated E are still over her head. Any suggestions about games that would be age appropriate for her?

Something that can help is you can look on the ESRB's site for games on the DS rated EC (Early Childhood). They have minimal reading and often times are puzzle type games. ESRB.org the ESRB site has a discription of each game so that you know exactly what it is and you'd be able to tell which one she'd like the best. 

E (Everyone) Are suggested for children 6 and older, usually because of the reading requirement, still that doesn't mean that there are several E games that she could understand, you just have to look a little closer when you get an E game right now.

Titles that she could use would be the puzzle games, or mini games, Mario's popular for being easy to understand too. Pet games, racing, guitar hero, pretty sure there's both barney and barbie on the DS too. (If she likes those kind of things.)

Another title on the DS is Dora the Explorer (I don't know if she's a Dora fan or not but the option's there.) 

If they don't have tetris on the DS, I would be very shocked. (In particular since I remember reading about an incarnation of it on the DS already.)

Another place you can go for assistance is GameStop. You can find titles that you can't find at walmart and at the same time, there's usually at least one person there who knows about video games…So narrow it down and they'll be able to make suggestions. 

I'd suggest staying away from the RPG's and similar titles til' she's got a solid handle on reading. Right now titles such as FINAL FANTASY, or CRONO TRIGGER, are not viable just because she's learning to read still. Admittedly those RPG's wouldn't likely interest her since they were more focused towards boys. But they are a case and point for the genre…

Between November 28th and December 25th, Nintendo's latest handheld sold an impressive 1,492,931 units in Japan, earning it the record for highest recorded monthly console sales. The figure was determined by Tokyo-based Enterbrain, which has been tracking hardware sales since 1997.

The 3DS has held strong at the top of Enderbrain's reports for the past seven months (boosting significantly since it's massive early-life price-chop), but it wasn't until the month leading into Christmas that sales rose high enough to earn top-honors. Sony's PlayStation Vita took second place during the same time period, moving 402,794 units after it's December 17th release.

Though the news may come as a small surprise to some, games generally sell the console, not the other way around. After the release of Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land, 3DS sales have been more than healthy. Perhaps it's finally time to call Nintendo's "experiment" (the price-cut, the addition of the second thumbstick, etc.) a success.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D will launch for Nintendo's 3DS on 8 March, Konami has announced.

The remade version of thhe PlayStation 2 classic will support the Nintendo 3DS Circle Pad Pro and players will also be able to use their real-life photos to create Snake's camouflage – but it'll only be effective if it matches the in-game scenery.

Few months before, R4 3DS team claimed they already dumped 3 3DS games successfully, and real R4 3DS card will be released to the market very soon. But there is no any news update later. More and more players pay attention to the Nintendo 3DS game jailbreak, since the ROM dump. Well, there may be several methods to hack 3DS games. Firstly, we have to introduce the Nintendo game cassette, which is the key of jailbreak. There are 4 kinds of cassettes in summary. 

1. "BIOS bonding model": After power on, BIOS will load the data of cassette automatically, and directly start the game. GB/GBC/GBA use this kind of model. If this model is hacked, the result is seriously. For pirate flashcard, there won't be any remedy measure. For R4 card, a mending patch can be added to the game to lock the r4. But the console who use "BIOS" model is main in the end of last centry. In that time, the flashcard was very expensive as the high cost of MicroSDHC memory, which limited the development of R4 card. You can hardly find any anti-hacking measures for these consoles. 

2. "in-upgrade system + game induct": After power on, enter the main system, the main system is invariable, it need the hardware of console to induct and load games. While starting game, it enter the cassette model, and has no connection with main system. Both NDS and NDSL console use this model. The model has same weakness in anti-jailbreak as BIOS model. And as the development of MicroSDHC card, the r4 card is cheap and popular. So most NDS games has anti-hacking measures. 

3. "Upgradable system + game induct": After power on, firstly enter the main system, and the main system is variable(upgradable). It also need hardware to induct and load games. While induct game successfully, the game has no connection with main system. Nintendo study from Sony, and use this model on DSi, DsiLL and DsiXL. It is easily to lock the r4 card or r4i card on main system. But it is impossible to change the configuration of NDS game. Many flashcards can pass the console detection by simulating the NDS Rom. What is more, since induct game successfully, the game has no connection with main system, it means, the console can't detect the flashcard any more. 

4. "Game bonding with system": After power on, enter the main system, the main system is veriable(upgradable). Games will be inducted and run on the main system. The main system can detect and control the game running at anytime. Nintendo 3DS console just use this model, that is why users can pause the game and back to main system by pressing the"Home" key. Obviously, this is the biggest obstacle for 3DS jailbreak. It is difficult to hack 3DS games, as the game process is under control of the main system..(that is why "Ridge Racers" can't run on Nintendo 3DS V2.0.0 system). As we know, R4 card can run on Nintendo DS and DSi seriesconsole, as they stimulate NDS ROM to pass the system detection. But the 3DS system can detect and control the flashcard in total game process. It can lock the card at any time. 

Also, the StreetPass and SpotPass will be locked, as 3DS system will easily detect the coherence. The Startup ROM is not same as Register ROM, then be locked.
