Wal-Mart is now selling an electronic LCD game in the kid's section that resembles a Wiimote so closely that even Wal-Mart employees can't tell them apart in a picture. But the games — made by ToyQuest out of L.A. — are complete and utter crap, to the point of being unplayable. Their only redeeming feature is that they look like the Nintendo Wii, which means Wal-Mart is relying on brand confusion to sell any of these things to unsuspecting customers. There is a gallery of photos online, so you can take a look at side-by-side pictures with a true Wiimote, down to the fake speaker on the front.

News from Drunkencoders
To ensure things work a bit smoother this year the judging for the competition has been standardized. I hope this does not throw too many people off but it should give people a much better idea of what we are looking for.
Judging Matrix
For the moment, no category is weighted more than another but it is possible the "Fun" category will end up worth twice that of any other.
Also the game submission and judging process is now fully web driven. This means the authors will control what info appears about their entries in the results list (and can update their info at any time). I had a bit of trouble keeping it all strait via email (i think last years results don't even list the game authors). It also means the results will be available as soon as all judges have submitted.
The final feature is after the results are published the general public will be able to rate and comment on the games. In the future, public opinion might factor into the final results but for this compo only the Judges scores will count.
Good luck in coding

Alex has again updated his puzzle games collection for the DS:
would like to say again that this is a beta version.
It can have bugs, as this is also amateur development… Never forget it, please.
In this beta 4, I fixed a bug concerning the ‘Undo’ button, which is not accessible anymore when a game is over (thanks to gh0st for finding this bug).
As a new feature, for this beta 4, you can play (and play) (and play again) (and play again again) the past daily challenge puzzles. For that, go to “hi scores” and then to “daily challenge ranking”. On the score pages, a “PLAY” button is available, you can try it
Even with this feature, I can’t beat the 2 unbelievable scores of Kimi & Johnathan easily.
So, that’s now sure, they are coming from another planet!!!
(Read this post to get the full story).

The Moon Books Project is featuring martial arts films this week. The first group of films released is the infamous Street Fighter series of films, which includes The Street Fighter, Return of The Street Fighter and Sister Street Fighter. Every day we will be releasing and spotlighting more martial arts films.
Street Fighter is not for the faint of heart however. The Street Fighter series is nothing like Capcom's popular martial arts games. In fact it has more in common with such films as Ichi The Killer or A Clockwork Orange.

The British Gaming Blog has links to articles on the official UK Wii site exploring the title Mario Galaxy . The first explores the game's origins and gives us a peek behind the scenes of the game's voice acting. The second looks at Mario's essence, and the benefits of the 'planetary gameplay'. The last is all about the sound of Mario:
"This time, we recorded with an orchestra of about 50 or so members. Of course, they were not very good at first because they were playing music they'd never heard before, and they are also seeing the score for the first time. But as the day went on, their performance improved dramatically, and the process of recording each track in its final form was actually a very fast one. This surprised Miyamoto-san, who was glued to the glass wall looking at them from the other side. He was saying 'So, sound is something that really changes too!'"

Midway has has said that manufacturing delays of Nintendo's Wii has had a direct effect on the company's roll-out of software to support the machine.
In a conference call following the release of the company's Q3 financial results, vice president of publishing Miguel Iribarren said that products for the busy Christmas period have had longer lead times than necessary
"The demand for Wii product has put a pretty big strain on Nintendo's production capacity, and that has in turn, for us, turned into longer lead times for some of our Wii products," commented Iribarren.
"And that, during the holidays – given product coming out in a short timeframe – has resulted, for us, in reduced ability to get product to shelves."
In the same call the publisher admitted that it had faced some technical issues with its first products for PlayStation 3 – including the best-selling Stranglehold – but that it was now over any architecture problems.
"We ran into some technical issues developing for the PlayStation 3 that have taken more time to finalise than we expected," admitted David Zucker, CEO of Midway.
"We do believe these technical issues are now complete at a core level in our engine," added Zucker, and that he expects all SKUs of multiformat titles to ship "day and date."

It's out; Japanese punters can finally sprint to the shops and pick up a copy of the awesome Super Mario Galaxy... though it looks like a lot of them might be holding off until the weekend.
According to Japanese site Ameblo, Mario's big Wii outing has shifted 130,000 copies in its first day of release in Japan, which is a bit unimpressive for the console's biggest "hardcore" release to date.
Sure, we never expected it to reach the sales heights of nan and girl-favourites Wii Sports and Wii Play, but going by the same sales data it's not even doing much better than Zelda: Twilight Princess.
But, we digress; it's only the first day of release and the weekend's yet to arrive. So we're sure there are still plenty of Japanese gamers yet to run off to the shops for their copies - and it's sure to shift much faster in the West.
And for those who don't give a monkey about the sales numbers it's still a bloody fantastic game. We've finished it already and you can expect our full verdict early next week...

Nintendo Europe has told us it has no plans to release new Zelda and Nintendogs-themed DS bundles here.
However, it suggests the leaked retail scans from the US (spotted by Kotaku) were telling the truth, which depict a golden DS with a Tri-Force logo side-by-side with a pink DS stamped with the Nintendogs paw.
US retailer Sears lists the colourful units bundled with appropriate game as USD 149.99 each, while For Your Entertainment has them down as USD 129.99.
You could always import, of course, so keep your eyes peeled as Thanksgiving descends.

Nintendo has spent USD 40 million (EUR 27.7m) on print, TV and outdoor media advertising between January and June 2007, according to data from Nielsen Monitor-Plus.
The massive budget for 2007 continues the publisher's commitment to marketing – it has already spent USD 86 million (EUR 59.6m) for the whole of 2006 and USD 84 million (EUR 58.2m) in 2005.
The figures are revealed by MediaPost in an interview with Nintendo's newly appointed VP of sales and marketing Cammie Dunaway.
Dunaway said that she was attracted to the position, which she starts next week, by seeing here son and mother playing with Nintendo products.
"I've seen the excitement on my nine-year-old son's face when he's playing a Pokemon game on his DS. Then I see my mom, who's in her 70's, having fun playing Wii bowling," she said.

Have you filled up your Wii's internal memory yet? We have and it's bloody annoying. But while we're all waiting for Nintendo to release a Wii hard drive, the reluctant games giant says there's no need to store all your games on your Wii. Again.
"The way that we look at it is, we really don't want people storing every single game they buy on their drive," said NOA PR manager, Eric Walter.
"When you buy a game, it's yours forever, so you can delete it, and go back and get it at any time you want. In a way, we liken it to putting music on your iPod; you listen to it for a while, and then you get tired of it, and you pull it off, and you put some new stuff on."
Yes Walter. But transferring songs between your PC and iPod takes seconds, not minutes, as Wii does per game. And copying VC games to an SD Card takes even longer than deleting and re-downloading them, would you believe it?
We're worried about how big the original games coming to the new WiiWare Channel (Wii Software) next year will be, but Walter says it won't be a problem.
"A lot of the games for WiiWare that have been submitted so far are smaller in size, so they're not gonna take up a ton of your drive," he told Gamasutra.
