Developer and publisher 2K Games has signed up physics program Havok for use in a number of games for Wii.
The physics system, which has been used in Halo 3, Assassin's Creed, BioShock and Oblivion, will first be used in, uh, Carnival Games: Mini-Golf.
Okay, so it's not an obvious choice but does make sense. Golf balls have to know when gravity dictates they should fall, after all.
Other titles are yet to be confirmed, leading us to believe there's a few projects 2K hasn't told us about yet.
We just hope they use the highly complex physics system for a highly complex game, instead of just applying it to party games.

It may never garner quite the same broad appeal among DIYers as the incredibly versatile Wiimote, but it looks like the Wii Balance Board is nonetheless spurring on some hackery of its own, including being used as a navigation device for Google Earth and World of Warcraft. While those hacks are certainly impressive enough, the board has only just recently fully earned its DIY cred by being used to control a robot, which you can see in action after the break.
What's more, the man responsible for that hack, Juan González, isn't about to rest on his laurels, with him now promising to create a Segway-like device that's controlled simply using the Wii Balance Board. Needless to say, we'll be keeping an eye out for any progress on that one.

The Wii Castlevania game currently in development is not a platform game as we expected, but instead a 3D fighter featuring characters from the series.
American games mag Nintendo Power spilled the surprise in its latest issue, confirming a few details about the title too.
According to the magazine, the Nunchuk controls character movement and the Wii Remote is used for motion attacks. We presume that means you shake to swing your weapon of choice.
Characters so far confirmed are Dracula, Simon, Alucard, Shanoa and Maria Renard. Classic weapons like holy water, magic spells, the dagger and the boomerang will be returning and a bunch of old Castlevania tunes will be remixed for the game.
Jeux France has got a number of scans from the magazine, so we suggest going to have a look-see for yourself.

Square Enix's onslaught of Final Fantasy games continues as it confirms Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon on Wii for an autumn release in UK.
Taking a break from the mental men with guns for arms and swords the size surf boards, Chocobo's Dungeon instead stars a "loveable cast of Chocobo and his friends", it's an FF game for players of all ages (so, your little sister, basically).
"Throughout the game Chocobo will take on famous job classes from the Final Fantasy franchise such as black mage, knight, and scholar. Players can unlock more jobs as they progress through the game," says Square, promising "ever-changing dungeons and unexpected twists".
Check out a batch of new screens, right here.

A wave of generosity from Nintendo this week, who having deigned to finally grant us sensitive European types with Super Smash Bros Brawl – which, as our UK review attests, is rather great – present us with a cavalcade of classics on the Virtual Console this week.
Top of the list is the sublime Super Fantasy Zone, a surreal Mega Drive shooter that plays like a freeform Parodius. Which is a little inadequate as a description, so you're maybe better off reading our comprehensive retro review, and the game is yours for 800 Wii Points.
One of Pacman's forays outside of his maze is also available, in the form of the 1993 Super Nintendo puzzler Pac-Attack which is available for 800 Wii Points.
What's the best thing ever? Why, wrestling monsters of course, all brought to you in the Neo Geo gem Kings of the Monsters. The first in an ongoing series, you can take charge of the likes of Godzilla for the total sum of 900 Wii points.
Finally, two C64 tidbits, in the form of shooter Cybernoind and sprinter Summer Games 2 - which is probably a good bet at kindling an Olympian spirit before events kick off in Beijing next month. Both games are yours for the very reasonable 500 Wii points each.
Virtual Console European Releases, June 28
Sega Megadrive – 800 Wii Points- Super Fantasy Zone (1992)
Super Nintendo – 800 Wii PointsNeo Geo – 900 Wii Points- King of the Monsters (1991)
Commodore 64 – 500 Wii Points- Cybernoid (1988)
- Summer Games 2 (1985)

Namco Bandai has at last lifted its silence on Fragile, a Wii RPG that seemingly disappeared following its announcement a few months back. Today, the company shared new screens, character bios and gameplay details.
The new screens offer a new look at the previously unveiled underground shopping areas. Like the whole game world, this area is in ruins. According to Namco, the walls in this area have graffiti and other markings which reveal the happenings of the past and can provide hints to aid you on your adventure.
Shown for the first time in this screenshot update are the ruins of a hotel. This area provides contrast to the dark environments of the mall, as you'll be able to do your exploration in the light of day.
We've also learned first details on the game's combat system. The game transitions seamlessly into battle as you face off against all varieties of creatures, including some who move in groups. When in battle, you keep using the nunchuck to move your character around, and use buttons on the Wiimote to perform attacks. You have to select your weapons based off the current enemy.
It's not just you by your lonely self as you search the ruins, though. Joining main character Seto are at least three additional characters: Ren, Sai and Kuro. Ren is the white-haired girl who, as previously revealed, is the subject of Seto's search. Sai is another female character who meets up with Seto midway through his travels. Kuro is a boy who, like Seto, is searching through this world of ruins. His search is centered in the Tokyo Tower area as he attempts to find the location depicted in a picture. He feels finding this location will help reveal the past that he has forgotten.
Fragile is set for Japanese release in 2008.

"Needless to say, and in all seriousness, we are very excited to announce our partnership with SNK Playmore USA to give both core and casual gamers a whole new insight into the unique, all-action, eye-popping world that is Metal Slug."

Ubisoft has unveiled a brand new Prince of Persia game for DS that's scheduled to hit the handheld console by Christmas this year.
Subtitled The Fallen King, the new game uses the stylus controls to "deliver the extraordinary acrobatic and combat action" of the franchise, according to the developer.
While the story and scenario will be different to the upcoming Xbox 360 / PS3 game, some of the gameplay mechanics sound similar.
In The Fallen King, the Prince will meet new character Magnus, who players must take control of at times to fight, solve puzzles and explore.
It all sounds good, but we're not sold yet on the screenshots and concept art. We feel a little like we did when we first saw The Wind Waker's cell shading. It's not bad looking by any stretch of the imagination, just different, a bit like the new game coming for consoles.
Early days yet though, so we'll hold off until we see more shots from the game until we pass judgement.

505 Games is set to release a Nintendo DS version of Subbuteo in September.
Developed by Italian outfit Artematica, it lets you flick players around the pitch with the stylus as you'd expect and also has online multiplayer.
According to 505's description, you'll use the stylus on the touch-screen to position players, attack, defend, pass and shoot, then click a finger-flick icon to choose angle and power "just like the real thing".
Meanwhile, the top screen provides "real-time feedback on all the match action with fouls, goals and even those all-important aerobatic shots".
In addition to a tutorial, there are tournaments and leagues, multiplayer via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and a game editor for changing player names and colours and creating new teams.
505 MD Ian Howe reckons "only the Nintendo DS could bring to life the touch and feel of the beautiful game in such an entertaining and engaging way", perhaps having observed how Spain and Italy certainly couldn't the other day.
"The huge DS market will also allow us to take Subbuteo to the entire family, in much the same way we all first played the game when we were young," he finished.
Check out our Subbuteo DS screenshot gallery for more clues on how this will work.

Hi, along the release of the new 2.0 version of my EFS lib, I've decided to create a whole new post as the 10 pages old one has became quite hard to find information inside and because it now mostly contains outdated info.
What is the EFS Lib?
EFS (Embedded File System) is a new set of library / tools to manage files embedded within a NDS binary, like graphic / music / sound / config data, for example.
Basically, it’s an appended file system like the old GBFS, but it has many more features and less limitations. It's also more standard, as it makes use of the NitroFS, using ndstool.
What are the most important features of EFS Lib?
- It works on all slot-1 & 2 cards via DLDI patching, but also on GBA carts
- It also works on emulators without any changes in the code
- The NDS file path in the card is autodetected and stored within NDS, using unique ID generated by the EFS patcher. The file path is searched only on the first launch, and if the file has moved.
- Support reading & writing file support [writing only works using DLDI]. For writing, space must be already allocated.
- It has a complete devoptab integration, so it works the same way as libfat using standard C I/O functions.
- It's very fast, and opening a file is way faster than with libfat
How can the EFS Lib be useful for me?
- You can store all the data (gfx, sfx, music, texts, scripts..) used by your project inside one tidy .nds
- You can use way more than 4Mo of data in your program because the data stored inside the EFS is not loaded in RAM when your homebrew is loaded.
- You can use it to retrieve the current path of you NDS to avoid the root bloating problem, and write external data in a relative path.
- You can use it to test on emulators your existing programs that use libfat without changing anything and using complicated FCSR method, just init EFS as the default device, put your data in the efsroot folder and you're done
etc etc 
Can you tell me more about the retrieval of current path?
On compile time, space is allocated in your homebrew to store its current path, its unique ID and file size. File size and unique ID is filled by the EFS patcher, usually just after compilation in the makefile.
On the first launch, the file is quickly searched on whole card, for a match of the stored file size and ID. Once the file is found, its current path is written inside the file itself. The next time the homebrew is launched, this path is checked to verify if the file match ID & file size: if it's the case, to need to search for the file again, we're good, otherwise it means that the file has moved then we go through the search again.
Q: But as argv is already supported by DKA to provide the current path, isn't your search method obsolote?
A: Yes, but for now, no existing homebrew loader makes use of that feature. But fortunately, when this will be supported, you'll just have to provide this path as an argument on EFS init, and instead of searching the card, EFS will check the path provided. So you don't have to worry of future problems with using EFS lib, it's already future-proof
