On my usual scout of as many as 500 sites i noticed that FreeCell has been updated, heres the full release info from Whodares
It's similar to Patience/Solitaire, except that all cards are laid out at the start, and you have 4 empty "cells" to move cards to.
Release Notes
v0.2 - When a game completes, you get a congratulations screen, also, the final cell drag bug is half fixed (looks okay when dragging an Ace back off, but not any other card)

How do you think the market is now for DS titles?
OL: I think it's being killed by lack of originality. Most publishers are pushing crappy clones, quickly made for little money, and that's having a detrimental effect on the public, because the public doesn't know what to choose, doesn't find any good titles, so it tends to go to established, known titles and games -- Nintendo games, basically. The problem is, that's not just the publisher's fault. I think distribution is largely responsible for that, because they have, basically, selection companies to decide which game they're going to put in front of their--

Here's the debut trailer for "K.O.R.E.", which we're told is the resurrected The Kore Gangthat was planned for Xbox way, waaaay back earlier in the decade. Now the "outvasion from inner space" is coming to Wii. Looks like a madcap action/platform sort of in the style of Destroy All Humans. You get to run around as one of three mad scientist aliens in funky exoskeletons. The developer is Snap Dragon Games. So do you like teh "K.O.R.E."? Do you not like? There's an 11-minute gameplay video on the jump if you want a closer look. No word on release date.

Following rumors of a cancellation, it's nice to hear any kind of news about Monolith Soft's Disaster: Day of Crisis -- even if that news is somewhat inconclusive. It seems the title, which was announced alongside Nintendo's latest home console before being put on indefinite hold, recently received a Mature rating from Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification (for "violence, themes and infrequent coarse language", for those who were curious) on Wednesday. Could this signify an end to Disaster's time out? We'll let you know when we hear something more concrete.

It's not too difficult to criticize the quality of many third-party Wii games — whether they're unique titles, bad licenses or lazy ports to the new system. However, will this change as more quality third-party games appear on the Wii? Recently, Wiiware title 'Lost Winds' picked up some great reviews, as did the Blastworks game. The recent review of a new game called Order Up on IGN caught my attention because they praised it as the way all casual games should be made. Is this the beginning of a new era for Wii games where quality casual games from third parties manage to grab the attention of both mainstream and hardcore gamers alike, instead of being a console where only first-party titles sell?

Is this what I think it is? We just received this in the mail. Our affiliate says this is the real deal but I contacted my source at R4 to confirm whether or not it is.
 
We'll have a full review of it whether or not its real or fake. So be on the lookout.
In the mean time, feel free to discuss what you think. Is it time for R4 to release a SDHC compatible card?

Eponasoft posted this news on the development of the RPG Maker DS:
The overlay layer covers everything. The object layer overlays the base layer but not the sprites, since the sprites reside on the object layer. The interface *never touches this screen*. The UI exists only on the touchscreen, never on the top screen. When dialogue is displayed, it will temporarily overwrite tiles on the overlay layer, and then will be rebuilt when the dialogue is finished. However, I am considering doing away with the parallax layer and simply using the topmost layer exclusively for dialogue to avoid this.
The sprites will be 4 or 8 bit (user choice), and in the builder, you will be able to manually affect the color pools. Every sprite you add to the scene must work within the 16 palettes (15 actually, since the "hero" sprite gets its own dedicated palette). I considered dynamic allocation of palettes at runtime but this could easily turn into a mess so I decided against it (imagine 30 sprites vying for unique palettes).
As for tile size, 16x16 is for the map editor only. The builder will convert the 16x16 tile blocks to the 8x8 standard that the DS uses. It will also perform tile redundancy optimization on the resulting 8x8 tiles.
RPG Makers on the PC have very specialized rules for handling the various layers of tiles, as well as the tiles themselves. These rules will not be replicated here, not only for simplicity's sake but also for efficiency's sake.
As for the book example...that's no problem. The same book can be used for both locations, unless you plan on having your character jumping on the bed, standing on the table, etc. Just place it on the overlay layer. It simply requires smart tile placement. The apple on the tree example is a good one though...the only way around that would be to have TWO overlay layers, but I think that's a bit of overkill. However, 128 tiles is not a bad thing. There are plenty of games that don't use tons of tiles, and they look great. Of course, the actual limit will be lower because you also need to store the sprites in VRAM.
For sound...MP3 is the best option we have available right now. mikmod is pretty universally known as "crap", though right now it's the only module solution there is. It just generally consumes a hell of a lot more memory than the MP3 player does, since the MP3 player streams from the filesystem and doesn't load the whole thing into memory. MIDI though? MIDI is impractical for the DS, especially General MIDI. You have to have sound banks for it similar to how modules work, plus the additional overhead of managing multiple channels dynamically. It's a real nightmare sometimes, and I sure wouldn't want to write such a frankenstein of a player.
Again, I thank you for your insight, it's good to know there's some hardware-knowledgeable people on the forum. PAlib lets you ignore the limits sometimes so not everyone gets to learn the "on the metal" details of how the system works.

But wait, there's only 25 songs in Guitar Hero: On Tour!
Correction: There is 26 songs, you can get You Are Not My Gameboy by Freezepop for completing Guitar Duels on any diffuculty. And FretFury will fix something that should have been in before anything in Guitar Hero for the PS2.
