Homie Rollerz Rides Onto the DS

What’s up dog? Destineer Studios is in the hood by announcing Homie Rollerz for the Nintendo DS. The game will use the already-established Homie figurines (some of which you’ll find in food markets or any other stores) in a insane kart racer. There will be 10 of those ghetto characters to choose from to burn rubber in customized rides on the road.

David Gonzales, the creator of Homies who has been closely involved in the development of Homie Rollerz: “I believe my fans will appreciate the storylines and most importantly, the fun of racing through the various tracks with some of the same popular characters they already have in their prized Homies collections.”

Adds Paul Rinde, CEO of Destineer, “Video games are moving more and more towards mass-market accessibility, so the need for a wide range of completely original content is greater than ever. Homies Rollerz is a perfect confluence of cutting-edge content meeting mass-market gameplay.”

There are many ways and opportunities to earn huge in Homie Rollerz. Players must do everything from winning competitions to creating rivalries with the other homies. Vehicles can be upgraded with better stats if players take part in the Wizard Circuit, where they’ll be granted one wish after winning.

Homie Rollerz will drive into U.S retail stores in November.

Cooking Mama ships half million units on DS

It’s the story of the little franchise that could as Majesco announced Cooking Mama on the DS has shipped a half million units. The DS game, and its Wii counterpart, have been responsible for significantly boosting Majesco’s bottom line. Despite control issues with the Wii version, which Majesco addressed soon after, the DS version is definitely a shining example of solid DS control design.

With a sequel in the works, it doesn’t look like Cooking Mama is slowing down anytime soon. Although there isn’t an official release yet, Todd Greenwald, an analyst with Nollenberger Capital, expects the sequel Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends to be out by this holiday season. He goes on to say that Majesco may have found a gold mine in the casual market and will probably be focusing more effort on taking its relationship with Japanese developers to bring more casual titles to the Wii and DS. He expects Cooking Mama 2 could generate $20 million or more for the company. As Mama would say in her butchered accent, “Wonderful!”
