Not long until Christmas with only just under 3 months to go so lets have a look at what games are still to come for the Nintendo DS.

A new additional for The Legend of Zelda – Spirit Tracks. (DS)

I’m really looking forward to the Mario release and with the multi player option I cant wait. I predict alot of buying this Christmas and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Wii is the number one seller with the Wit Fit Plus arriving.

Nintendo DS common problems

Nintendo DSi — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:06:47 +0000

Nintendo DS game consoles not only help us to take pleasure in a intense gaming session but in the interim also unwind our psyche and break us free from our every day hectic programs. These handheld devices are reasonably priced and accordingly are tremendously well-liked among all ages and income groups. Some of the Nintendo DS screen problems which we frequently come across include:

The Screen May Appear Cracked

The major snag the majority of users experience is that their screen appears cracked. The DS features two LCD screens, which occasionally build up dead pixels. If runny colours or blotchy colours lastingly remain on the screen, even when the Nintendo DS game console is switched off, then the liquid crystal display (LCD) is cracked. In this situation, your system will need to be repaired.

Lines on the Screen

Lines on the Screen can develop if the console is dropped, knocked about or badly treated. If you see lines on either screen of your Nintendo DS during game play, then it is possible that one or more of the components that create the image on the screen are damaged. This usually occurs if there has been an impact, such as being dropped or hit, to the screens.

Scratches on the Screen

Scratches can also be seen on the Nintendo DS upper screen, lower (touch) screen or both the screens. If the upper screen plastic cover appears scratched, customers can replace the screen by themselves with a new screen after going through proper replacement instructions. If you do not want to replace the screen cover yourself, you may want to have your system repaired or replaced by a local repair center.

It is not promising to replace the screen cover on the lower (touch) screen of the game console without particular tools. If you would like to have the lower screen replaced, the system will need to be sent in to Nintendo DS repair centre where they can professionally handle your requirements. If the touch screen is not responding when touched, or the accuracy of the screen is off, you may need to recalibrate the touch screen.
