More recently there is a new release under the name Giana Sisters, and I'm guessing it's done by a different company too, but I'm not sure. It's for the Nintendo DS (what IRONY). My first thought is that it was a homebrew game, that was to be released on flash-cart, in phony game boxes (as I thought the pics of game boxes on the website for the game were likely unofficial and so would be the cartridges). But when I downloaded a rom of it and played it on my emulator, one of the first things on the screen is the classic required phrase for all Nintendo licensed games. It said "Licensed by Nintendo". While nothing in terms of actual software programming is stopping homebrew makers from putting that phrase in their game, it could EASILY result in a massive suit if Nintendo ever found out about it. And to this day, I've NEVER seen any homebrew games that boot to a screen that says "Licensed by Nintendo" (not on the DS, not the NES, not the Wii; NO HOMEBREW AT ALL). So it seems likely the game is legit. And somehow they managed to get Nintendo to license it.
For more info, may I suggest you check out the (very cool) website for the game: [link]
