Earlier this week Tecmo -- and the head of Team Ninja, Itagaki -- swung by the IGN offices so they could get hands-on with the studio's Nintendo DS game, Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword. Follow the link for IGN's hands-on impressions.
New Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.
The Nintendo DS has some amazing titles available. Here are some of the best nostalgic games that every child of the DS era grew up playing.
I enjoyed both Rush games, I did think the action was sometimes too fast to see what was coming up in terms of hazards though, which meant replaying the same stage a bunch of times, other than that they were enjoyable, good special stages, 3D sections and bosses for the most part.
DS is one of the best consoles of all time. Such a rich library of software
Zelda were all glorious on it.

IGN: The game is wicked fast -- and you said in an interview that Dragon Sword has the fastest Ryu Hayabusa yet. What did you mean by that?
Itagaki: You just played the game, right? That should be the answer. If you were to use traditional controls, no one could keep up and control him that fast. My goal was to maximize the ability of the touch panel and make it a challenge to the player.
No one could control him that fast... good to have a different way to play games then the standard controller sometimes eh?
