Nintendoji (任天童子) – An Amazing DSiWare Game You Missed https://onecontrollerport.com/nintendoji-%e4%bb%bb%e5%a4%a9%e7%ab%a5%e5%ad%90-an-amazing-dsiware-game-you-missed/ Wed, 06 Apr 2022 16:00:00 +0000 https://onecontrollerport.com/?p=11337 Nintendoji OCP Header Image

Nintendoji (任天童子) is a great game and an impressive feat by Nintendo for the DSiWare platform. Unfortunately, it’s incredibly inaccessible. You can find my item guide on google sheets, as well as a stream of me using it to play Nintendoji. Check out the full nJoy walkthrough for more guidance. Here’s the official Nintendoji manual. […]

Nintendoji is a maze dungeon crawler released in Japan as a downloadable Club Nintendo reward. You play a priest who descends into the city to purify it. Along the way, you will collect treasures, including items based on Nintendo mascots. You can learn more about the game in my video. The game is entirely in […]

We do a dungeon run in Nintendoji, which lasts far longer than expected. I also test out my English item guide.

Castlevania of Old and New in Soul of Darkness https://onecontrollerport.com/soul-of-darkness/ https://onecontrollerport.com/soul-of-darkness/#respond Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:01:37 +0000 https://onecontrollerport.com/soul-of-darkness/ Soul of Darkness Promo Art

Gameloft is known for its rip-offs of popular franchises. Modern Combat is obviously inspired by Call of Duty,  Eternal Legacy is based off Final Fantasy,  Dragon Hunter looks pretty close to Diablo. Especially in the early smartphone marketplace, they offered surprisingly decent clones that were more than just match three puzzle games. In 2010, their […]

One Isn’t Enough for The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition https://onecontrollerport.com/the-legend-of-zelda-four-swords-anniversary/ https://onecontrollerport.com/the-legend-of-zelda-four-swords-anniversary/#respond Tue, 15 Sep 2015 14:01:43 +0000 https://onecontrollerport.com/the-legend-of-zelda-four-swords-anniversary/ Links Pushing a Boulder

Just because you want something doesn’t mean you’ll like it. As someone who largely games alone, for years I wanted a way to play The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords on my own. It worked well in Four Swords Adventures on the GameCube, so why not allow me to experience the original Four Swords in […]

There was a significant period of time where I completely ignored indie games.  I did not care from pretty much their inception till about 2014. Arguably, I still don’t care. But I gave it a shot and spent a summer vacation playing a handful of them. It seemed fitting to start with a game that […]

I don’t think many people remember DSiWare fondly. It has some fun little games, but it wasn’t a service most people were actively using. I’ve barely scratched the surface of the library myself, but I do enjoy seeing all these weird $1 to $2 downloadable titles Nintendo published. It feels like they were trying to […]

TSG Game Review – Spotto! https://onecontrollerport.com/tsg-game-review-spotto/ https://onecontrollerport.com/tsg-game-review-spotto/#respond Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:00:42 +0000 http://oculin.wordpress.com/?p=1941

I love just stumbling across games. DSiWare holds plenty of Nintendo published titles that Nintendo lets slip by unadvertised. It’s unfortunate, but c’est la vie. So instead, I present to you Spotto!, a DSiWare game developed by Intelligent Systems.  While it doesn’t compare to the pricing and quality of similar app store titles, Spotto! does […]
