For those who don’t know, Ragnarok Online DS has been released in Japan this week. The game is inspired by the MMORPG itself. The game features new skills as well as new jobs to boot.

To play this game, you can order from playasia.com for about $60. The game is still in Japanese though so if you like the original MMORPG, and can understand Japanese, then this game might be for you!

Lets hope that this game gets enough attention to warrant an NA and EU release.

A new secret option has been revealed for the Wii’s Mii channel: unlocking the DS connectivity option.

Here is how to do it:

1. Press and release A
2. Press and release B
3. Press and release 1
4. Hold 2 for a few seconds
5. DS Connectivity Option will show up

Right now, its currently useless as even DS download play won’t respond to the Mii Channel’s transmission. We might have to have until the DSi hits. Its almost basically confirmed that Miis will be used for the DS in the future.

In the latest issue of Famitsu, the first few screenshots of Ragnarok Online DS has been revealed. The game is mostly a single player adventure with the option for 3 players for local mutliplayer, and it also supports playing online through Wi-fi.

Here are some screenshots and concept arts from the magazine:

What is unique to the game is that two additional job classes have been revealed: The Dark Knight and the Shaman (see pics below).

With the release of information on Ragnarok Online DS and MapleStory DS, it seems that MMO’s coming to portables are becoming a trend. The big question is: will it ever get a US release?

It has been announced the next game of the Grand Theft Auto series will be on DS, known as Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.  Other than the fact that this game will have the Wifi function and will be release in this winter, there is absolutely no information released.

With my long waited Dragon Quest V DS coming out this week, the advertisement of it is already going on in Japan, and here is one of the commerical of it.
