North America, get ready to be invaded by Konami's Xiaolin Showdown. The company has announced that the TV series-based DS game has finally been shipped to retailers.

With all the flare of classic martial arts action, join the adventure as the gang of four young warriors: Omi, Kimiko, Clay, and Raimundo, seek out the valuable Shen Gong Wu relics. But the journey won't be easy, especially with the villainous Jack Spicer and his army of evil robots around.

With each character having their own unique set of special abilities and moves, it is up to you as the player to switch between four characters, depending on what the fight calls for. And with 20 action-packed levels, there sure will be a lot of room for you to get to use all four.

But within the big adventure lies several special mini-games, so you can bet the fun will be non-stop. Xiaolin Showdown is available at a suggested retail price of US$ 29.99, and is rated "E" for Everyone by the ESRB. It is also available for the Xbox, PS2, and PSP.

Karate Kid? Nah. Too 80s. Enter the Dragon? Too serious. Xiaolin Showdown? Just the right mix. You can be one of Master Fung's dragon-in-training as you play Konami's game for the DS of the same title. Take on the characters of Omi, Raimundo Pedrosa, Kimiko Tohomiko or Clay Bailey as they fight against the evil that is Jack Spicer. Release date is sometime in November.

Craig Harris of IGN describes this game being developed by Razorback as a "Double Dragon style brawler done in an isometric ¾ view." The demo has demonstrated some good and bad points. Characters were a bit slow in movement and collision detection was off, but, smashing, lifting and throwing objects at enemies or at switches are fine and comes a lot into the game's early stages.

You can also treat yourselves to a variety of mini-games like "Wind Hockey" which is a touch screen version of air hockey, a "Breakout" challenge, a four player top-down challenge and bowling, that shows the most potential among the others mentioned. All these games will be unlockable in the main game as well as being fully playable outside of the battle. It supports the DS' download play feature for a high kicking multiplayer showdown.
