During a financial results briefing Q&A, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata was once again asked to touch upon the subject of the company’s devices being region locked. Below are the question and response Iwata provided. When you were asked if you would lift the region locks at the Financial Results Briefing six months ago, you answered that you would take it into consideration. Please explain the current situation.
Iwata: My understanding is that it is not realistic on the existing video game systems because unlocking them after they are already on the market poses a number of hurdles. On the other hand, regarding NX, we understand that many consumers hold such opinions and such suggestions exist in the market, and although we have nothing concrete at the moment, we are internally analyzing what hurdles exist to lifting region locks. That is the situation right now. We acknowledge your request, and I personally want to give it positive consideration.
So, while Nintendo aren’t 100% confirming that their upcoming NX console will be region-free, they’re open to the idea and are giving it serious consideration. Unfortunately, it appears the region locks on 3DS and Wii U will remain.

Nintendo has already released a gold version of its Mario Amiibo, so guess what's coming next? A silver version, of course. We suspected as much after both figurinesleaked back in February, but today the console maker has made it official. The special statue -- which is identical to the Amiibo figure from Mario Party 10, albeit painted silver -- will arrive in stores on May 29th for $12.99. When the gold version debuted, it was available exclusively in Walmart stores across the US. That made it something of a collector's item, riling fans that were desperately trying to maintain a complete set. This time around, it seems Nintendo has opted for a more conventional release. The company is still struggling to keep up with the demand for Amiibos however, so if you're interested, act fast on May 29th.

The handheld gaming world has been on the retreat since smartphones replaced the Gameboys in our pockets. But, when you mix nostalgia, an Arduino and a low price point, you get the credit-card sized Arduboy. The 8-bit gaming rig fits in your pocket, sports a black-and-white 1.3-inch OLED screen, two piezo speakers, and an eight-hour battery life. Created by Kevin Bates, his first version that he posted on YouTubegarnered enough interest that Bates quit his job and started working on Arduboy full time and now you can preorder one of these full little devices.

Nintendo’s original Wii is as peculiar a video game console as it is a successful one. Its story has some understandably wacky bits as well. Such as: have you ever wondered where Miis came from?
The trivia pros at Did You Know Gaming? turned their gaze on the last-generation Nintendo console in their latest video, and, as usual, the results are very interesting. Here’s a quick summary of the seven main fun facts I gleaned from the above video:
- The motion-control technology that was used in the Wii was first pitched unsuccessfully to both Microsoft and Sony before it was accepted by Nintendo. The hardware developer and inventor Tom Quinn had received a patent for his company Gyration’s motion-control tech in 1999. While it didn’t take off in aeronautics, Quinn began shopping the devices around to game companies in 2001. Apparently Microsoft’s then-CEO Steve Ballmer was into the idea when Quinn pitched it to him, but the Xbox team was not. Sony CEO Ken Kutaragi, meanwhile, turned it down because he felt that the controllers would be too expensive to produce. Nintendo finally accepted Quinn’s pitch in September 2001—the same month the GameCube launched
- The Wii’s controller was originally known as a “Gyropod,” and was designed to look and function much more like the original GameCube controller thanks to the presence of an analogue stick and numerous additional buttons. Eventually, the Wii’s primary controller was relentless simplified into the famously pared-down remote, with the analogue stick relegated to the Nunchuck add-on device.
- Nintendo ended up being sued by three different tech companies—Philips, Triton, and IA Labs—following the release of the Wii due to claims that the console and related motion-control peripherals infringed on their respective patents. Philips was the only one that ended up being successful.
- During the development of the Wii, current Nintendo president Satoru Iwata told the console’s developers to make Wii no thicker than two DVD cases. I know what you’re thinking: “that’s not very thick!” It really isn’t. The small size restriction was partly due to the fact that the console needed to be both discrete and relatively mobile, so that gamers could place it close enough to the television in order to actually pick up on the movements they were making while playing games on it.
- The Wii was built with a blue light on the front side of the console, which flashed every time the console owner received a new message. The specific timing of the light’s flashes were made to mimic the rhythm of a specific bird call—the one made by the Japanese bush warbler. Why? The video doesn’t explain. I guess there are some things man was just never meant to know.
- Due to all of the design constraints Nintendo executives places on the Wii, the console only ended up being twice as powerful as the GameCube, its immediate predecessor.
- Though the specific big-headed eccentrics known as “Miis” first showed up on the Wii, thematic inspiration for the characters traces all the way back to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or SNES. Shigeru Miyamoto had an idea for a SNES game centered around drawing and assembling faces by tinkering with a number of pre-rendered facial features. N64 brought it back as “Talent Studio.”

Wii U and 3DS platform holder Nintendo will not follow Sony and Microsoft into the Chinese market, it has been claimed.
Tokyo based games consultant Serkan Toto has said Nikkei has reported that “Nintendo will not execute prior plan to manufacture consoles for the Chinese market”.
A year ago Nintendo said that rather than releasing its existing hardware in emerging markets, it would insteadmanufacture brand new machines for such regions.
“We want to make new things, with new thinking rather than a cheaper version of what we currently have,” boss Satoru Iwata said. “The product and price balance must be made from scratch.”
The news of China lifting its sales embargo on foreign games consoles was even enough to boost the share price of platform holders, including Nintendo.
Both Sony and Microsoft have subsequently released their existing next-gen hardware in China, although both PS4 and Xbox One faced last minute delays before finally making their bow in the region.

Nintendo remains adamant that it will not be announcing any news about the in-development NX console at E3 next month.
The message is no different to that given by boss Satoru Iwata when the machine was first announced, when he said that we shouldn’t expect any more information until 2016.
“We do not plan on talking specifics about the NX until 2016,” Iwata again told investors in a Q&A translated by Kotaku. “Presently, we cannot talk about the time period when it [the NX] will go on sale or what it’s like. Because we are calling it a ‘new concept’ we are not thinking of this as a ‘simple replacement’ for the 3DS or the Wii U.
“Incidentally, we’re getting various questions for this year’s E3, like ‘Won’t there be a NX announcement?’, ‘Will there be a presentation on smart devices?’, or ‘Will there be more on the quality of life platform?’.
“However, since we understand that E3 is an event for dedicated video game machines, we do not intend to discuss the smart devices as well as quality of life.”
Iwata in the same presentation gave consumers hope that the NX may become the first home console from Nintendo to bypass region locking, meaning games from anywhere in the world could be played on any machine.
The lack of any firm information about the NX hasn’t stopped some retailers from taking pre-ordersfor the machine, however.

Fceux SVN r3112 is compiled. FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator. Over time FCE Ultra had separated into many separate branches. The concept behind FCEUX is to merge elements from FCE Ultra, FCEU rerecording, FCEUXD, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm into a single branch of FCEU. As the X implies, it is an all-encompassing FCEU emulator that gives the best of all worlds for the general player, the ROM-hacking community, and the Tool-Assisted Speedrun Community.
Fceux SVN changelog:
r3112
Video: implemented PAL subcarrier emulation as a filter, with options in Palette dialog.

Citra Git (2015/05/10) is compiled. This is the trunk of Citra Project. Citra is an experimental open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator/debugger written in C++. At this time, it only emulates a very small subset of 3DS hardware, and therefore is only useful for booting/debugging very simple homebrew demos. Citra is licensed under the GPLv2. Refer to the license.txt file included.
Citra Git Changelog:
* Merge pull request #736 from yuriks/remove-BIT
Common: Remove the BIT macro
* Common: Remove the BIT macro
When the macro was introduced in 326ec51261299e48de97592631c02523da9c8118
it wasn't noticed that it conflicted in name with a heavily used macro
inside of dyncom. This causes some compiler warnings. Since it's only
lightly used, it was opted to simply remove the new macro.
* Merge pull request #734 from yuriks/memmap
Small memory map definitions cleanup
