That’s all the news for today guys, so until next time, thanks for stopping by.

I've only just begun to use the NO$GBA system and I've never had an emulator before. I've already figured out how to play NDS games on it, but the problem is saving. When I save on the one NDS file I have (Pokemon Platinum) and turn the game off or reset it, it starts back all over again on new game. So I was wondering if anyone could help me figure this out. Is it the game or am I supposed to modify the emulator to make it save?

World Championship Poker for the Nintendo DS is one of the better casino style games available. It’s on my list of Nintendo DS top games because of its wide-variety of game selection.

Terrific Poker and Non-Poker Game Selection

The best thing about Nintendo DS World Championship Poker is its variety of games. Many poker players think Texas Hold Em is the only legitimate form of the game. Perhaps people who think that simply watch too much television.

It’s almost impossible to turn the channel without seeing a televised poker game. But if you think Texas Hold Em is the only game in town, then you’re missing all the fun.

The Games

My favorite poker games are Omaha Hi/Lo and 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo. So it was a surprise to learn that the Nintendo DS version of World Championship Poker includes these games. And even better, there are twelve games in all on this one cartridge. The games are:

* Texas Hold Em

* Double Flop

* Pineapple

* Omaha

* Omaha Hi/Lo

* 7 Card Stud

* 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo

* Baseball

* 5 Card Draw

* Deuces Wild

* Video Poker

* Blackjack

Playing the Game

The fun starts when you play career mode.

In career mode, you walk around the virtual casino in search of a game. The top screen offers a 3D first-person view of where you are in the casino. At the same time, the bottom screen displays an overhead view of your location.

The casino tables each have a different game. You find a table with the game you want, and then tap the table with your stylus to play.

Some tables have quick games that allow you to win a quick buck and move on, like the video poker game. For more involved play you’d pick a tournament table to compete against computer opponents.

Your Opponents

The computer opponents in this game are 3-D models. You see them while they play, and each has their own name, face, and body.

Your opponents are also animated and make certain movements and sounds each time they play a hand. This is fun at first, but gets annoying and repetitive the longer you play. It also makes each hand longer than necessary. Luckily, you can turn the animations off under the options setting.

Thanks to the wireless networking function, you can play the Nintendo DS version of World Championship Poker with friends. Of course, this only works if your friends are within range, and also have a Nintendo DS and the World Championship Poker game. Once connected, everyone can play most of the games together. The only downside is you’re unable to name your player in wireless mode. So you have to remember which character is yours.

Overall Rating: Five Poker Chips

I recommend this game for anyone who enjoys portable gaming and poker. You can practice your skills without sitting in front of your computer or waiting for a live game.

It’s also a great way to pass time while waiting in line or stuck in a waiting room. So if you’re interested in portable poker gaming, get a copy of World Championship Poker for the Nintendo DS.
