DSDatabase Blog and Forum have MOVED!

December 31, 2009

Hiya everyone,

I assume you are hear because you’ve bookmarked this page or was directed here by a link. The wordpress blog and phpBB3 forum has moved permanently to the root of our domain, that is to say, at http://dsdatabase.org. All of the posts and work has been forwarded there, so you should be able to find what you are looking for there.

This blog and forum will remain available for now until redirect links are done, and of course when we deem our new board completely stable.

I apologize for any inconvenience, but we’re sure you’ll like the new board better than the old one.

December 13, 2009

the_legend_of_zelda_-_spirit_tracks_north_america

Choo choo! All aboard the spirit train! The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is finally out and I’ve had the chance to play most of it for the past week. Most of you probably said “Uhhh…what?” when you heard the next Zelda would have a train in it. Others may have just done one huge facepalm. I’m here to show you what this game is all about and how it fairs to it’s not as identical twin, Phantom Hourglass. Continue reading to see the full impression/mini review. (this blog post does contain some minor spoilers from the first about 15 minutes of the game)

DSDatabase Christmas Raffle! Spread the Joy!

December 8, 2009

Happy early Christmas DSDatabase readers!

0ShippingZone.com

In accordance to our tradition of hosting raffles every holiday, our sponsor 0ShippingZone.com has stepped up and gave us three carts to raffle away for Christmas. So first I’d like to thank them, they’ve helped our site grow a lot, so be sure to check out their site for rock bottom prices and great service. They also have a new blog providing exclusive information, reviews and of course new product announcements.

Christmas Raffle!

The Christmas Raffle is our basic raffle with one extra rule added this time around to embrace the holiday spirit. As usual, no registration is required.

The rules:
- The raffle entries are accepted before midnight December 25th PST (entries are still accepted on Christmas Day).
- To enter simply write one phrase or sentence in reply to this blog post describing some Christmas element, perhaps a trip to see Santa Claus, a party, or the gifts you want, etc. You may only get one raffle ticket through this method, however, feel free to post more than once or even in reply to comments of others. In your comment, please include a valid email in the form, for that is the method by which I will contact the winner.
- To earn an extra 1-3 raffle tickets, go out and do something nice for someone and prove it. Make a donation to a charity, volunteer or even something like giving a Christmas present to someone. Proof can quite literally be anything, a picture, video, a webpage, etc, and should be posted in this thread on the forum. Rules regarding multiple entries and receiving more than one ticket are detailed in the thread.

We have three separate carts to raffle off:
1x AceKard 2i
1x AceKard 2.1
1x R4DS

Needless to say they will go to three separate winners. The first person who wins the raffle gets to pick first, the second person gets to pick second and the third gets the remaining prize.

So…. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! And be sure to spread the Christmas joy by doing something good! :)

New Sponsor: GameKool.com

December 1, 2009

GameKool.com

Today I’d like to introduce to you the very last of our recent new sponsors, GameKool.com. They are another China based website trying to offer rock bottom prices with a high level of service. With a wide variety of gaming devices and accessories, GameKool is worth checking out. When they contacted me, they seemed like approachable people, and are definitely paying attention to what is happening in the scene.

I decided to scope out the site just to see who’s advertisements would be on my site. I was pleasantly surprised to see a live chat support that was actually available, contact forms, etc. They contacted me through MSN, so it seems that is an available option as well. The prices look pretty good on almost the entire selection of products. So I’m sure that a shopping experience with GameKool would be a great one, in fact I’m looking to buy a few things from them soon.

What should you buy from them?
To be honest, I looked at the site and was a little disappointed to start with. Shipping wasn’t free. Then I realized they have a free shipping zone, with a LOT of products in it. Their AceKard 2i carts are $15 a piece, which is nice considering they have them in stock rather than other web shops. The real deal comes in with the combo with 2GB or 4GB MicroSD cards. The same could be said with all their flash carts, they are pretty close to the cheapest price around, and I’m hearing good things about shipping time.

I’m not sure if you guys know what Dreamboxes are, but I was surprised to find them with such a low price tag here. Essentially they are for you to get cable or satellite TV in a manner that costs you nothing and probably won’t hold up in court (cough cough, get the point?).

Get going to GameKool.com already! Asides from flash carts, they have some interesting stuff over there!
