Despite the lack of on-line functionality in games for the Nintendo Wii so far, the company reports that over 5 Million players have registered with its Nintendo DS Gaming Service since the November 2005 launch of the system. According to Nintendo there have been over 200 Million games played worldwide by those gamers as well - both of which are really impressive numbers.
"Nintendo DS gamers globally use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection as an easy, fun place to find fellow players, all without paying anything extra for the service," explains Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "The milestones represent millions of hours of fun and camaraderie despite miles between players."
Lets hope that when the Wii version of the service launches that Nintendo enjoys similar numbers, despite being the last one to the dance. The Nintendo DS remains the top selling console worldwide and in America according to the NPD Group, the organization that compiles retail sales figures, with over 470,000 sold just in America. Anyone up for a quick game of Mario Kart DS or Metroid Prime Hunters??

DS Lite is getting shinier from June 23 when two glossy new colours of the portable will hit shops in Japan.
Metallic Rose (a shinier, darker pink) and Gloss Silver colours have been revealed (pictured), and will help you further forget those days of having to hide at the end of a train carriage as you embarrassingly played the bulky, grey 'I'm homeless' DS.
These join the three existing colours, white, pink and black (if they have more technical colour names, don't bother correcting us - we don't care that much), and will go on sale for 16,800 Yen, which is, as usual, a disgustingly cheap £70.
Expect DS-crazed Japanese people to form 20-mile-long queues outside shops on June 23.

With RE4 Wii Edition, Capcom is offering new and more immersive sense of control to players, while keeping all of the game's incredible game systems intact. As Leon Kennedy, players will explore a town overrun by cultists, mutants and mind-controlled villagers, using the Wii Remote to aim, fire, slash and avoid oncoming adversaries with intuitive motions and movements. The Wii version of RE4 Wii Edition will also contain the additional content included in the PS2 version of the game.
Resident Evil 4 now comes to the Wii with added Wii Remote support, allowing players to aim, fire, slash, reload, crank and avoid oncoming adversaries with intuitive motions and movements. With new intuitive controls, RE4 Wii Edition is reborn as a whole new experience!
Leon S. Kennedy, formerly Raccoon City Police Department's idealistic rookie cop, is now a U.S. agent with a top-secret mission to rescue the President's daughter, who has been kidnapped by a mysterious organization. Leon must begin his investigation with a trip to an undisclosed Spanish-speaking village in Europe, where he encounters a horde of unruly villagers who pledge their lives to Los Illuminados, the cult that perpetrated Ashley's kidnapping. As Leon encounters unimaginable horrors, he must find out who -- or what -- is behind everything.
Features:

Konami shun the idea of Silent Hill on Wii, as 'grandma wouldn't like it.'
Clearly they've never met my Grandma - I bet she'd love caving in the heads of zombies or whatever it is you do in Silent Hill.
In an interview with Konami's Masashi Tsuboyama, he had the following to say about the prospect of Silent Hill coming to Wii:
'While Nintendo Wii sales are very high, and I applaude Nintendo for their sucess, I dont think Silent Hill is a game that would be sold on Nintendo Wii as much as a game like Zelda would worldwide. This by no means says we will not consider the idea but the general opinion is that Wii is for family games and im sure the fans don't play Silent Hill with their grandma!'
Please, please, if we have any grandmas / grandads reading this please get in touch so we can ram Konami's rather silly attitude right up their backside.
I find it surprising that Konami are naive enough to actually think that most Wii owners only play the console with octogenarian relatives, and never alone. I have one thing to say to that: bollocks.
There's already been a couple of 'mature' titles out on Wii, with more to come, so with any luck they'll be enough to change Konami's mind - for now, it doesn't look too promising. Thanks to C3 for the tip.

Is Capcom and Grasshopper Manufacture's psychological horror adventure game Killer 7 getting the Wii port treatment? Capcom of Europe implies such with its Killer 7 listing, hinting that the game originally designed for the GameCube may follow in the path of Resident Evil 4 and shoehorn in waggle control.
While such a listing may simply be an error, it would make a great deal of sense. Killer 7's on-rails gameplay and point-and-shoot action are a good fit for the Wii-remote. Plus, the game would take advantage of the Wii's expanded audience, filling in holes in the console's "mature" category. Still, checking with the usual online retail suspects turns up nothing and recent interviews with Grasshoper honcho Goichi Suda reveal no hints about such a project.
I've got an e-mail in with Capcom to see what they have to say. While this is simply a rumor, something about it smells of truthiness.

People have complained since the Wii’s inception into the next-gen race, that the graphics/visuals for the games aren’t all that great – with the exception of Twilight Princess, of course. But once you see the new Final Fantasy for the Wii, you might think twice about the Wii’s graphical power.
Before you get your knickers in a bunch and you let the drool hit the floor, you might want to calm down a bit and take a breather; this game is not coming to North American shores just yet. The trailer is for the Japanese Final Fantasy, which is set to be an exclusive for the Wii. Like many of the other Nintendo-exclusive Crystal Chronicle games, this one will have gamers embarking on a quest unlike its PS3 (and soon Xbox 360) counterparts.
Visually the game is rather stunning. It’s not far off from some games like Armored Core 4, and it looks much better than the new Beautiful Katamari for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Okay, I know, I know...those are bad comparisons. Fanboys will be quick to toss in Gears of War and Lair...but we all know Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is not a $20 million dollar project. And even though the Japanese will be enjoying this game much sooner than North American and European territories, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the trailer below.

A few weeks ago images of an ice blue Nintendo DS surfaced on Nintendo Australia's image library. Nintendo Australia has finally confirmed today the Nintendo DS Ice Blue Lite will be available on July the 19th for a recommended retail price of $199.95.
The Nintendo DS is Australia's highest selling console for 2006 and 2007, so it's obvious the system is still in high demand. Now, is it wrong to pick up a second because you love the colour?

Bronto has updated his rather excellent NDS Mail application for the DS:
Heres the release info
- support for ISO-8859 mails
- keyboard fixed
- use latest libnds/dswifi/libfat
- bonus eyecandy
- other misc. fixes
The R4DS Team was kind enough to donate one of their excellent cards for testing and development. This is why I also provide a pre-patched version for R4DS owners. Have fun!
It seems the .ds.gba versions are not needed anymore, so I did not include them.
My SSL library unfortunately still behaves strangely in "pure DS mode". It works perfectly on Win32, Linux and even DSLinux! I'm preparing for another hardcore debugging session..

I've been working some on the old keepy uppy and it's now Penguin Football DS. Playing as a penguin, you can practise your football skills, play a match against the CPU, play a match against another player on one DS, or play keepy uppy.
It doesn't use the file system, so it should work on any card. Tested on Games n Music, DS-X and R4.
Let me know of any bugs/thoughts and I hope you enjoy it!
This is my first game, made to learn PAlib. PAlib rules!

With Nintendo's Wii still dominating the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 in terms of sales, many wonder whether the Wii's performance can be sustainable. The question will be whether players will continue to be captivated by the Wii as game developers start taking advantage of the superior processing power of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The Nintendo Wii video game console continued its remarkable performance in April, with U.S. sales that far outpaced its next-gen rivals, Microsoft Relevant Products/Services's Xbox 360 and Sony Relevant Products/Services's PlayStation 3. According to figures compiled by NPD Group, the Wii sold 360,000 units in April compared to 174,000 Xbox 360s and just 82,000 PlayStation 3s.
According to David Riley, a Senior Manager at NPD Group, that puts the Wii's total sales since its release at 2.5 million units, a little less than half of the Xbox 360's 5.4 million total units sold, and roughly twice the PlayStation 3's 1.3 million. All sales figures are for the U.S. alone.
Riley said that it's not easy to summarize why the Wii is performing so well. "There are a lot of reasons," he said. "Nintendo has done great marketing for the [console], and after a slow start, has gotten great PR from the media. The [Wii] is remarkably easy to use, and of course, the price point helps as well."
Mass-Market Appeal
"The price points for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 are a killer when it comes to attracting the masses," Riley suggested. "They're not unattractive to the hard-core gamers, but they're simply not mass-market prices."
With a bewildering array of technological choices out there, Riley said, a lot of consumers find the complexity of the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 to be intimidating.
"The very fact that the Wii doesn't use a lot of cutting-edge technology -- apart from the controller, of course -- gives it an edge," he said. "You can really start using the [Wii] without looking at the manual, and when you do need to read the manual, it's actually quite understandable."
Sustainable Lead?
Of particular interest to analysts (and the console manufacturers, of course) is whether the Wii's impressive performance is sustainable. The chief question will be whether players will continue to be captivated by the Wii's motion-based controls as game manufacturers start taking advantage of the other units' greater processing power.
Riley cautioned that the remarkable sales figures for the Wii only represent the first six months of sales, so it is not clear how it will perform in the long run. However, he said he thinks that the system will continue to be a hit with consumers.
"The Wii's started to take some hits in the media lately," Riley said, "but I think it will continue to do well. Nintendo's got a great line of titles coming out for the system, and excellent hardware Relevant Products/Services. But the company's biggest advantage is that it is attracting an audience that neither Microsoft nor Sony can attract. Nintendo just needs to keep coming out with titles that appeal to these nontraditional gamers."

If you've already played Mortal Kombat Armageddon, you might be wondering why you should try the Wii version, which ships today. For one thing, it has a brand new character, Female Khameleon. Not enough? Ok, how about a deeply enhanced Endurance Mode? Yeah, that wouldn't do it for me, either. Well, there's Motor Kombat mode, where you...drive...around...actually, let's just forget that exists and move on.
The real draw of the Wii version is the motion-sensitive combat controls. The control scheme has been completely overhauled to take advantage of the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo, which could make the fatalities extra specially fun. Hmm...one wonders what the proper motion for ripping out a spine is...
Armageddon features more than 60 fighters from the entire Kombat line, in addition to the Kreate-a-Fighter and Kreate-a-Fatality modes. First one to make a character based on Kohler (come on, his name even starts with K) wins. Ready....go!

According to Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony simply don't understand what they're trying to do.
In what will surely prompt some kind of caustic exchange between the companies via the media, Nintendo of America's George Harrison described to Wired his views on his two competitors:
"We can already see some of the things [ Microsoft and Sony ] tried. For last year's E3, at the last minute, Sony rushed out their Sixaxis controller as an effort to respond to the Wii remote. We saw Microsoft roll out Viva Piñata as their killer app for the Pokemon set. And neither of those worked really well.
Part of this is, I think it's not in their DNA. They're really good at reaching a certain customer, and have a real difficulty understanding how we succeed with the customers that we have," said the senior vice president of marketing and communications."
Claws are well and truly out.
I particularly love the line "They're really good at reaching a certain customer." What Harrison actually means is, "They're really good at making moronic games for morons. Explosions, hookers, and baseball bats." Wonderful.
Nintendo do seem to have been rather arrogant and bullish of late - it must be the summer heat. Or the fact that, at long last, they've launched a games console that's actually exceeded their sales expectations.
DS not included, of course.

A massive slew of rumours is currently circulating pertaining to Nintendo's mysterious press summit held in an abandoned castle on the top of a cliff in Transylvania. Lightning and everything.
Those rumour-mongering scamps at NeoGAF have posted up a message purportedly from a 'press insider', presumably given to them in a dark alley in some kind of swanky looking briefcase.
There's rather a lot of information, so I'll give you a condensed version - remember, these 'facts' are completely unsubstantiated for the most part so they might not be true:
Metroid Prime 3 will have downloadable extra missions, suits, weapons, and so on.
Smash Bros uses either classic controller / GC controller or a Wii remote / nunchuck combination.
Super Mario Galaxy allows you to explore the interior of giant planets - the game will also use WiiConnect24. Somehow.
A trailer reel was shown featuring ( amongst others ) Mario Kart Wii, Vision Red ( a new RPG from Nintendo ), Animal Crossing, Wii Music, Wii Health.
Finally, an epic-sounding video was shown that finishes with Link and a massive triforce 'smashing into pieces.' ( I love that bit ).
How plausible is all that then? It could be educated guesswork, as nothing sounds particularly unexpected. It's unlikely Nintendo will comment on any of it as the information they released at the press summit is currently under embargo.
It's interesting, but I'm going to wait for the official word before I get too excited.
You can never trust anyone these days.
Stay tuned for more news.

Shortages of the Wii are set to continue throughout 2007 according to analysts at Lazard Capital Markets, with Nintendo potentially missing key sales during the Christmas season for a second year running.
And while the company increases production of the console to 1.5 million units a month, some analysts have begun to question the long-term appeal of the Wii amongst the casual gaming audience.
"Demand still appears to exceed supply, and we believe that shortages could persist through the remainder of the year, including the key holiday period," commented Lazard's Colin Sebastian.
For some analysts, the Wii may begin to lose favour with the casual consumer, and in the face of next-generation gaming it could also look out of date as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 continue to push the envelope with graphical and technological advances.
"Its appeal is primarily to casual gamers, and there's a serious question about how long casual gamers will stay engaged with the platform," commented Van Baker, technology analyst at Gartner Inc, reports the LA Times.
"It wouldn't be surprising to see them lose interest after a relatively short amount of time," he said.
"The Wii in a couple of years is going to look like old technology with low resolution [and] slow performance. People may not be accepting of that," he added.
However, the Wii is still receiving praise from consumers themselves, with a recent poll by Frank N. Magid Associates revealing that 31 per cent of Wii owners expect to still be playing the console a year from now, compared to 21 per cent of Xbox 360 owners.
And the most recent US sales figures from NPD revealed that the console is trouncing its competitors at retail, with 360,000 units sold in April, compared to 82,000 PlayStation 3's and 174,000 Xbox 360's.
