The ongoing excitement over Nintendo’s groundbreaking Wii system gets a suprise springtime boost with the announcement of a new game. Kicking off its semiannual media summit in San Francisco near the company’s new sales and marketing offices in Redwood City, California, Nintendo of America today revealed plans for Mario Super Sluggers for Wii, giving baseball fans even more reason to root this season.
“Mario is truly a one-of-a-king character; clearly fans can’t get enough of him and his friends,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “We’re giving Wii users brilliant new ways to enjoy him while expanding our series of active-play games.”
In the same spirit as other sports-themed Mario games on Wii like Mario Strikers Charged and Mario Kart Wii, Mario Super Sluggers blends richly interactive baseball action with eccentric characters and elements from across the popular Mario universe. Players can swing the wireless Wiimote just like a bat or wave it toward the plate to deliver a masterful pitch, enjoying the same intuitive, easy-to-learn controls that helped make Wii Sports a living room hit. With Mario and his unpredictable pals filling out the roster, imagination and active-play innovation are sure to dominate the diamond in this lively title, scheduled for release later this year.

Massive pirate operation smashed in Sunday market raid.
Thursday 10th April/... Illegally copied Nintendo DS games stored on discs marked ‘Volume 9 DS Games’ (the disc) were recovered as part of an 85,000 disc haul at an East Yorkshire Sunday market raid turned out to be the first of their kind seized in the UK for the Nintendo DS, ELSPA forensic experts today revealed.
Recovered at the Walton Street market, based in Hull, it transpires that the discs contained approximately 200 current games for the Nintendo DS.
According to ELSPA’s forensic experts, the disc is the first of its kind discovered in the UK. It has been appearing for approximately four-to-six weeks, but no Nintendo DS discs such as those seized at Hull’s Walton market have previously been found.
The raid, part of a collaborative effort to clampdown on the increased presence of counterfeited goods at the market, was carried out by officers from Hull CID, Hull Trading Standards, the Riverside NPT (Neighbourhood Patrol Team), ELSPA (the Entertainment Leisure And Software Publishers’ Association) IP Crime Unit, MCPS (Mechanical Copyright Protection Society), and representatives from Adidas and Nike worked together to identify illegally copied games, music and counterfeit clothes.
The approximate value of the software on the disc, should a member of the public purchase it in a High Street shop, is £6,000.
A number of people were interviewed by local Trading Standards officers after being found selling counterfeit clothing and footwear and will be prosecuted. Part of the operation involved the confiscation of counterfeited goods from traders who fled from the market, leaving their stalls and stock behind as officers entered the market.
John Hillier, who heads up ELSPA’s crime unit, said: “Piracy costs the games industry dear – just like that of any other entertainment industry. Making good and inventive games is an expensive and creative process, with some titles today costing £20m or more to develop. To make a quality title involves teams of highly skilled professionals, from programmers and graphic artists to voice actors and musicians. When a pirate sells illegally copied games they undermine the viability of our industry. The worst-case scenario is that pirate activity could cost the jobs of some of the creative talent and that would be a catastrophe.
“There are other things which the public should be made aware of about counterfeit games. Some of them will damage hardware, such as PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii consoles. Others will not play in PCs and consoles at all or, if they do, the quality of the graphics or gameplay mechanics may be impaired. Finally, pirated software comes with no quality assurance – so if the games do not play properly then retailers and publishers will not replace them.”
Michael Rawlinson, managing director of ELSPA, said: “Walton Street has recently been plagued by criminals selling illegally copied games, music and clothing. ELSPA would like to thank local Trading Standards and all other attending authorities for their efforts in stamping out illegal products from the marketplace and helping protect legitimate traders.”
Det. Sgt Reed of Hull CID, said: “We have made big inroads into the market now and it is our intention to keep raiding it. We’re going to meet with Trading Standards and see whether we can make this a regular thing.”
Mike Pindar, Trading Standards officer for Hull City County Council, said: “Local traders have gone out of business as a result of these counterfeiters and people who buy from them. The people who lose out are the retailers and the public. We’re going to be very active on counterfeiting and it is only a matter of time before these people receive a visit from the police and ourselves.”
A spokesman for entertainment chain HMV said piracy was costing the industry “hundreds of millions of pounds”. He added: “If people visit record stores they will find the price of DVDs and CDs has come down so significantly there is no reason for people to pay a couple of pounds less for pirate copies, which are low quality and support criminals

The Dragon and Tandy CoCo emulator for the Nintendo DS has seen a new release.
Information:
The DS port is advancing nicely. This version features interface for input configuration (though this doesn't get recorded anywhere yet, so you have to set it each time) and snapshot saving. Sound is now pretty much spot on, and video is synced to 50Hz where appropriate (DS allows its current idea of which scanline it's on to be modified). ROMs should sit in fat:/dragon/roms/ (or just fat:/dragon/). Swapping screens ('START' by default) now maps the touch screen to analogue joystick input (good for games like Katerpillar Attack).
It is built against a recent CVS checkout of libfat, so supports DLDI patching (shouldn't be required for most recent flash carts).
xroar.nds - v0.20f4 slot 1 binary.
xroar.ds.gba file - v0.20f4 slot 2 binary - untested.

It's an unofficial release of the Nintendo DS emulator for PC.
Information:
DeSmuME is a well known Nintendo DS emulator. It is multi-platform and open source, written in C. The only problem is they haven’t released a new version in almost 6 months. And it is not like they haven’t been working on the program. So, I took it upon myself to compile the latest CVS build freely available from their SourceForge site. This program was compiled using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
I realize that this version is called v0.7.2 in some places but in reality it has no version since it is a CVS compile. It should fall somewhere after the v0.7.2 Windows release, but where exactly that is is up to the developers.

The BBC iPlayer is only available on Nintendo Wii because Microsoft and Sony wanted to control the iPlayer, a BBC official has stated.
According to a blog post by technology editor Darren Waters, BBC future technology controller Erik Huggers said: "If you want to get on the PlayStation or Xbox, they want control of the look, the feel and the experience; they want it done within their shop, and their shop only."
Nintendo, in contrast, has apparently been more than happy to upgrade its internet browser to work with the existing BBC site.
Also in the post, Waters clarified the confusion over whether or not yesterday's announcement included a separate Wii channel: "[Nintendo is offering a dedicated channel, which acts as a one click button to the iPlayer service."
So whilst you can currently access the iPlayer using your internet browser, soon there'll be a dedicated channel making access direct.
Which should please those who didn't download the browser for free and were complaining yesterday they'd have to shell out Wii Points to watch Doctor Who on their Wii.

A new F-Zero game for Wii will be unveiled by Nintendo at E3, currently named as F-Zero Z.
According to German website Nintendo-Planet.de, the new title will feature all the tracks of F-Zero GX and include an online mode.
More cryptically, the site also states that "a weapon system has also been confirmed". We imagine that has more to do with the Babel Fish translation missing something subtle in the language, though.
We're waiting back from Nintendo to deny its very existence, but the rumours would coincide with Reggie's hint that we should expect something big at this year's E3.

Midlands Wii Chippers, The Welsh Game Barron - the ELSPA Anti-Piracy Unit has defeated them all. But this week the heroes in black send word of a new type of criminal... one who puts DS games onto discs.
During an 85,000 disc haul at an East Yorkshire Sunday market (the APU don't HAVE weekends), the crack criminal-busting unit found discs containing illegally copied DS games, "the first of their kind", apparently marked 'Volume 9 DS Games'. Where are volumes one to eight, then?
According to ELSPA's "forensic experts", the disc is the first of its kind discovered in the UK.
The approximate value of the games on the disc, says ELSPA, should a member of the public purchase it in a High Street shop, is £6,000.
The group hasn't said anything about convicting the bloke who owned (or now not) the discs, but if it's anything near as harsh as it was on the last poor sod, he's going to get 10 years and at least 50 lashes from the ELSPA whip.
"Piracy costs the games industry dear - just like that of any other entertainment industry," said ELSPA's crime unit chief, John Hillier.
"There are other things which the public should be made aware of about counterfeit games. Some of them will damage hardware, such as PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii consoles. Others will not play in PCs and consoles at all or, if they do, the quality of the graphics or gameplay mechanics may be impaired."

A sequel to the Wii's most electrically-charged Japan launch title is in the works. The latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine (via CVG) reportedly says that Elebits 2 is due out on the Wii later this year. We haven't been able to yet get a copy of the magazine ourselves, nor has there been any confirmation from Konami or Nintendo, so we're going to file this under rumor for now.
The initial Elebits, also known as Eledees, launched with mixed reviews. We liked the concept, though, so it'll be interesting to see what comes of the developers having more time to polish.

In addition to bringing its Sam & Max episodic adventure series to Wii, Telltale's working a WiiWare game.
It's called Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, and will be release as a series of episodic instalments, with the first part to hit in June. It'll consist of five instalments in total, and be released on a monthly schedule.
Apparently, it's based on Matt and Mike Chapman's online animated series (Who? What?) and Strong Bad is "the self-proclaimed coolest person ever".
"The episodes play like extended cartoons, during which the player assumes the role of Strong Bad - controlling his actions, hearing his innermost thoughts, and becoming part of his awesome world," Telltale explains.
It continues, "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is a story-driven series with a comic spin that's undeniably Strong Bad. The player uncovers each episode's comedic plot through character interaction, dialogue-based puzzles, and the use (and abuse) of inventory items."
Telltale adds that each episode is crammed with "time-wasters" to "keep players poking around in the world, including Strong Bad emails to check, prank phone calls to place, and mini-games..." and that WiiConnect 24 features are included.
"The Chapmans have been treating the internet to episodic content for years. We're thrilled to have teamed up with them to take episodic gaming to the next level via Nintendo's innovative WiiWare delivery system", beamed Telltale CEO Dan Connors.
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People will be released on PC, too.

Misdirection isn't just for magicians anymore ... apparently Nintendo Power practices it too. While everyone was focused on the hints of a U.S. localized Final Fantasy IV DS in the magazine's ten-page cover feature on the game, no one seemed to notice that the game was listed with a "July" release date in that same issue's "Game Watch Forecast."
Well, no one except RPGFan.com, which then in turn got noticed by our own DSFanboy, which in turn got noticed by us so you fine readers can notice it for yourselves. This could just be a typo on Nintendo's part, but more likely it's a slip-up that reveals a release window a little earlier than Square-Enix would have liked. Either way, just another pebble on the growing mound of evidence that a localized version is coming.

Did you know that Oblivion and Fallout 3 dev Bethesda had a sibling named Vir2L Studios? Known primarily for releasing games for cellular phones, the ZeniMax-owned outfit has announced plans to bring a pair of titles to the Nintendo DS this summer. However, while this would have been great news had the company decided to bring its Elder Scrolls Travels mobile titles to the handheld, life has taught us that life is seldom that generous.
Vir2L will instead release touchable versions of its AMF Bowling and Ducati motorcycle racing series on the DS. Both AMF Bowling Pinbusters! and Ducati Moto promise multiple characters and Wi-Fi connectivity, and will each carry a budget price of $19.99. Still, our hope is that Vir2L is simply testing the waters with these titles, and we may someday be able to save Oblivion's Tamriel, stylus in hand.

Dying for a Wii-white GameCube controller to use with Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart? You, or more precisely the bizarro-universe Japanese version of you, will get your wish later this month.
Nintendo is putting the GameCube controller back on Japanese shelves in the latter half of April. Coming in at 2,000 yen or about $20, the controller will be white to match your Wii and feature a luxurious three-meter-long cable, which NeoGAF math experts say is 50% longer than the original.
GameCube controllers can be plugged into the Wii and used to play several of its games.
No word on whether we will get this in America, but if history is any precedent, I would have to say that hahahahah no.
