Leading videogame publisher, SouthPeak Games, announced today a new Nintendo DS title, Crime Scene, scheduled for release this holiday season. Crime Scene puts players in the role of a detective, giving them a full arsenal of police tools to solve crimes and ensure justice is served.
For so many years now Nintendo has always dominated the handheld market, ever since the Gameboy first launched in 1989 other companies have repeatedly tried to compete against the wildly popular device and all have failed to even put a dent in the big N's market share of handheld gaming. However some speculate that the iPhone will soon compete directly against the DS, and will prove to be a worthy opponent.
Acitivion recently announced that they will be bringing Band Hero to the DS and what would a new music game from Acitivision be without a new peripheral? Say hello to the Band Hero drum grip, the new piece of fake minature instrument for the DS. The "Drum Grip" will slide into the GBA slot of the DS similar to the Guitar Grip of Guitar Hero On Tour. The drum grip features four drum pads which will provide a "more realistic" feel to playing the drums on the DS, the peripheral is set to launch with Band Hero in November. The game is sure to make lots of sales however, this peripheral represents a major problem for the gaming industry.
