Product Description
You are a ninja. Like all ninjas, you have an unquenchable thirst for gold, a natural propensity for exploring rooms infested by lethal ninja-killing robots, and a devout belief in N. N, The Way of the Ninja, is a highly, advanced system of spiritual, cognitive, and physical training. It emphasizes pacifism, humility, and the need to traverse a series of 5 rooms before the end of your lifetime; a feat known only as "beating an episode". In accordance with the teachings, it is your profound hope, nameless ninja, to achieve ultimate mastery of N. In a futuristic world of inadvertently homicidal robots, you must use deft acrobatic skill and guts of steel to survive. N+ is a peerless action-puzzle platformer with more than 300 levels in which to hone your ninja reflexes, plus a built-in level editor for when you're hungry for more. N+ also features unique, physics-based controls, stylish graphics, unlimited lives, competitive and cooperative multiplayer, plenty of gold, and several flavors of sweet, sweet action. Running, jumping, and dying in an unpleasant-yet-comical manner has never been more fun.

 A pure blast October 7, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Originally a downloadable PC game entitled N, N+ is a pure blast. Making its way to the DS, N+ puts you in the shoes of a ninja, and you try to avoid all sorts of deadly traps and hazards. This may sound like it will get old quickly, but it doesn't, and N+ ends up proving to be incredibly fun. There are hundreds of challenges to endure, and the platforming-based puzzles are insanely fun and addictive. The game is easy to pick up and play as well, and it can get very, very challenging as you progress through the game. The controls are tight as well, and being able to download new content via the Wi-Fi connection is a nice plus as well. The game looks good and plays great, with the only real flaw of N+ being that there is no touch-screen support. This is only a minor gripe as using the DS' face buttons works perfectly fine, but it would have been a nice plus if some sort of touch-screen capability was included. That aside, N+ is a pure blast, and if you've played the original game and own a DS, this is definitely more than worth picking up.
Addictive !! September 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First of all, i never heard about this game before( not flash-based fan) but after the positive reviews for this game in most of the games sites (just google it, I decided to give it a try. The rule is very simple, get the key, avoid the obstacle then unlock the door, that's all ! but you will face very difficult stages (more than 20 attempts). Very nice if you like to play for 5-10 minutes per time ( waiting in the airport or in bus). Be aware, it's very addictive.
Better Than Expected! October 10, 2008
Laughing while playing a game is usually a good sign for me. I have found myself laughing at the challenge of this game, which seems so simple at first but is surprisingly deep. When I am told, "Nice One!" after running into a mine or being struck by a missile, it lets me know that failure is intended.
I have played approximately 14 of the episodes - each episode has four stages. A stage takes between 10-60 seconds to pass. There are gold pieces to collect through every stage, but they are not necessary in order to "pass" the stage. I like this approach because I can go back and replay earlier stages once I get through the game. The most trials I have needed to pass a stage has been twenty or so, and it feels satisfying to finally get through one of the tougher ones.
There is also a stage development tool included in the game, which I have yet to tinker with. Even without this tool I believe that I have gotten my money's worth out of the game so far. If you're in doubt, give the game a shot!
Simple addictive, worth every penny October 15, 2008
This game was extremelly addictive to play. In fact my girlfriend, who detests video games and my "wasting time" on them got into this. The graphics are very simple, basically you're a stick figure running through a basic level. But the controls and movement of your figure is a lot of fun due to the ability to jump off walls and such. I probably put in about 10 hours with this, which isn't too bad considering you can beat a set of levels in 10 minutes.
The one downside is I never cared about collecting more gold to get all little extras but just tried to get through each level. And now that it's completed I don't play it anymore.
A great time waster and a throw back to simpler times November 30, 2008
Don't get me wrong I love next-gen gaming as much as the next guy. Every now and then I like to play a game loaded with nostalgia that harkens to the simple heart rate increasing game play of the arcades I grew up in. N+ reminds me of the best parts of those days minus the nostalgia.I love it because it's simple, addictive and can be a mind bender at times. If you like side scrolling action games and enjoy physical puzzles this one's for you. I predict a cult classic so grab yours today before they're gone.

The Nintendo Wii goes on sale on Sunday, November 19. Thanks to the inclusion of the simple--but infectiously fun--Wii Sports game, the Wii is the first console in recent memory that lets you have fun straight out of the box. Still, there are a few key Wii accessories you'll want to pick up to maximize your Wii experience--especially if you're buying it as a gift.
Extra controllers: Like all recent consoles, the Wii ships with just a single controller (well, one two-part controller: one Wiimote, plus one nunchuk). But the real fun of the system is playing the head-to-head Wii Sports games such as tennis and boxing. To do so, you'll need at least one extra set of controllers--and again, that's one Wiimote ($28.99) plus one nunchuk ($12.99). The Wii supports as many as four, but just the one extra controller set should suffice--at least for Christmas morning.
Rechargeable batteries: The Wiimote takes two standard AA batteries. They're included--with the Wii, and with the sold-separately version of the controller mentioned above--but avid players may find the juice draining pretty quickly, especially if they keep the nunchuk attached (it draws its power from the Wiimote). Instead of buying an endless stream of costly AAs, consider investing in a set of rechargeables. You can score a charger and four rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries for less than $25.
GameCube controllers: The Wii is fully backwards compatible with the Nintendo GameCube, but there's a catch: to play the GameCube games, you'll need a GameCube controller ($15.99). You can even go wireless with the Nintendo WaveBird ($59.99). If you already have a GameCube, your existing controllers will work just fine--just plug them in to one of the four ports underneath the flip-up panel on the Wii's topside. GameCube controllers should also work with the Wii's "Virtual Console" games--which saves you the trouble of having to buy a Classic Controller.
GameCube memory cards: One other annoyance when playing GameCube games: your progress can only be saved to GameCube memory cards, not to the Wii's internal memory or to an SD card (we're hoping Nintendo fixes this with a future firmware update). Like the controllers, your old GC cards will work just fine--there are two slots right next to the GameCube controller ports. If you don't have any onhand (and you want to save your games on GC titles), you'll need to spring for a $26.90 (2GB) memory card.
Wii Points: One of the big attactions of the Wii is its Virtual Console, which lets you purchase classic games that originally came from the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the Super NES, the Nintendo 64, the Sega Genesis, and the TurboGrafx16. By the end of 2006, at least 30 titles should be available, including Donkey Kong (NES), Super Mario 64 (N64), and Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis). To purchase the downloadable titles, you'll need to use a Nintendo currency known as Wii Points (similar to the Microsoft Points on Xbox Live), which currently have an exchange rate of 100 points per U.S. dollar. You can buy Wii Points directly through the console's online store, or use prepaid cards (2000 Wii Points) available in various denominations.
SD card: If you're close to filling the Wii's built-in 512MB of storage with your Virtual Console games, you can always expand your available space with an SD card. Nintendo sells its own, but any run-of-the-mill card will do. Fairly spacious 1GB cards are available for less than $20--even less with mail-in rebates--and they'll work in plenty of other gadgets as well.
Wireless access point: In addition to the downloadable Virtual Console games, the Wii offers online "channels," including news, weather, and even an Opera Web browser (head-to-head online gaming is said to be coming sometime in 2007). You can get online for free via the Wii's built-in Wi-Fi. To do so, of course, you'll need a nearby wireless access point or router. Alternately, you can plug the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector into any nearby PC on a wired network, and the Wii--plus your Nintendo DS--will be able to use it to get online instead.
Component video adapter: The Wii doesn't have the graphical horsepower to handle high-def graphics, but it can do DVD-level 480p video, which will look considerably better on large HDTVs. To see the Wii's games in 480p, you'll need Nintendo's proprietary component video adapter, which should run about $20. |
