DSTalker is a freeware application, running on NintendoDS, designed as a speaking aid for nonspeaking people.
It is intended to introduce nonspeaking people to electronical speaking aids. I wrote this program for my son Anselm. The aim is to give him the ability to express some of his wishes more clearly, encourage him to repeat the spoken words and, through visualising the written word on the upper screen, I hope to initialize some letter recognition.

The Nintendo Wii sure doesn’t look like a computer. The tiny console, which launched with much fanfare alongside the massive and massively unsuccessful PlayStation 3, features motion-sensitive gameplay – and little else. Despite the console’s missing media features – what do you expect for $250 – it does include a web browser, and may soon supplement the experience with a Wii Keyboard, or what we’re affectionately calling, “Wiiboard”.
Although cutting through the air with the Wiimote is met by on-screen Wii Sports tennis backhands and home run slices, the device is incapable of many other, comparably standard functions, like high resolution visuals or even DVD playback. Although these shortcomings have led some consumers to opt for Sony or Microsoft next-gen consoles, the Wii’s Opera browser has been an attractive, PC-like draw to some gamers.
Opera was recently upgraded on the Wii, boasting a more capable search engine and click-‘n-drag functions. However, complaints persist, with many owners frustrated at the controls. One key suggestion? A USB keyboard.
Word that this might just be on the way comes from Joystiq via Wii Fanboy via Game Informer (phew!). The latter’s May 2007 issue states:
“Nintendo’s development team says that it is considering adding a keyboard peripheral to the system in order to make online surfing easier.”
Most Nintendo users agree that using the Opera browser is anything but handy, and yet Nintendo appears devoted to making that experience a positive one. It’s strange sentiment from a company that appeared determined to make the Wii the anti-Xbox 360, anti-PS3, anti-PC.

They may have been going nuts for the game in Japan when it released, but how is it being received in the United States? Well, the critics had some wonderful things to say about the game. We would provide our two cents, but we have yet to receive ours from Nintendo, so until then we'll just sit in our desk chair, spinning wildly and screaming obscenities until our overlords come into our cubicle and give us a shot of sleep juice.
Without further ado, let's check what the critics said:
Nintendo World Report (90/100) is of the mind that even though it resembles previous games, it's still quite good: "An extremely well conceived game. While some may complain that it is too much like past titles, it's hard not to get drawn into the charm and depth of the universe."
IGN (85/100) says the game has plenty of depth: "Tons of strategic depth and gameplay that's incredibly rewarding; it's one of those games that offers an enormous sense of accomplishment for even the littlest things performed. And the touch screen functions of the Nintendo DS help move things faster and easier with simple navigation menus."
1UP (85/100) thinks the most important thing is refinement: "The differences between Diamond and Pearl and their predecessors are small, but they add up. Refinement is paramount here -- refined balance of battle skills, refined relationships between monster types -- as is expansion."
GameDaily (80/100) finds the game's worth is in the online battling: "Although the single-player quests might invoke a sense of deja vu, Pokemon enthusiasts will love the brand new story and other small tweaks added to the game. The new online battles, however, make this a Pokemon essential for anyone's -- fanboy or not -- DS collection."

New from Play Asia
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings for Nintendo DS&trade is a sequel to the popular PlayStation2™ RPG Final Fantasy XII. One year after the events of Final Fantasy XII, Vaan is now a sky pirate with his own airship, and Penelo, Vaan's navigator and friend. Their treasure-hunting adventures take them to the Floating Continent, or Purvama, of Lemurés and the ground below, where their story begins. Other returning characters from Final Fantasy XII, such as Balthier and Fran, who played major parts in the first game, are also playable, as well as some characters that played minor roles, such as Vaan's orphan friends. There are also new faces, such as Llyud, a member of the Aegyl race, who have wings protruding from their back.
The game features a modified version of Final Fantasy XII's Active Dimension Battle system, which can be played entirely with the stylus. When seen, the battle system looks strikingly like an RTS but with more depth in terms of character attacks and functionality. Like in Final Fantasy XII, battles initiate once the party comes in contact with the enemy, and the characters will attack automatically. The player will be given the option to use the stylus to give commands to the characters by tapping on them with the stylus. It is possible to change their target, set gambits, use various abilities, and more. Area spells can be cast by drawing a rectangle around the enemy with the stylus.

Nanostray 2 ... on Wii? Orb, Thorn and Midnight all coming this year? When they leak retail information sheets in the UK, they do it right. Wii UK got their hands on a retail list (origin and destination unknown) with few concrete dates and a lot of unexpected, and even unknown games, as well as a few old favorites we're always happy to hear about. Hit the jump for the full list, but keep in mind that these are UK titles and games ... and since there's not much source information, you might want to keep a few grains of salt handy.

This limited-edition Zelda Game Boy Advance signed by Shigeru Miyamoto is really damned cool. There's no controversy about that point. But is it $2,157.86 worth of cool? That position might be too shaky for us.
It was apparently okay with one eBay shopper, because that was the final selling price for the system. At a price like that, we bet the guy won't even play games on it. And a Game Boy Advance that doesn't play Super Dodge Ball Advance is worth far less than two thousand dollars to us.

Apparently the purple dragon is going to be making an appearance on the Wii in Spyro: The Eternal Night. Currently slated for a release on the console this October, it was initially believed to be a port of another Spyro game, but is being confirmed as a new title by Codename Revolution. Personally, we haven't played many of the Spyro games, but even considering that, we don't want a port, even if it is of one of the franchise's best games. No, we're sick of ports, give us something fresh.

While two versions of Puyo Puyo (aka Puyo Pop Fever, aka Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine) are either on the way or available for the Wii Virtual Console, Sega's betting there's enough interest in the classic falling blocks puzzler to warrant a full Wii release. The company announced just that in Japan today. Owners of the Japanese Wii can look forward to Puyo Puyo! on 7/26 at a price of 4,800 yen.
It may have as basic a name as you can get with a Puyo Puyo game, but there seems to be quite a bit of original content included here. Sega will introduce the new "Puyo Puyo Together" mode, where two players play on the same field, working together to guide falling pieces into place. Two pieces fall simultaneously in this mode, meaning you and your Puyo Puyo friend will have to strategize together.
The second new mode of play is called "Remote Controller Puyo Puyo." This mode is played using the motion-sensing capabilities of not one, but two Wiimotes. One controller is used for rotating the pieces while the other is used for moving them. While you can play individually, Sega seems to want multiple players to cooperate.
Outside of these original multiplayer modes, Sega is bringing back the classic battle modes, with support for up to four simultaneous players. Sega's also adding a few original gameplay systems for multiplayer battles. In one mode, the field of play rotates 180 degrees periodically. In another, giant Puyo Puyos drop in periodically.
As this is a full Wii release, Puyo Puyo! has modern visuals, well beyond what you can now see in the Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on the Virtual Console. Add in all the new modes of play, and there could be reason to consider paying the price for a full retail version.
As of this writing, only a Japanese version of Puyo Puyo! has been announced, but we'll let you know if Sega's international offices issue any statements.

Most of you won't be familiar with this Famicom-styled voice recorder since the US got a differently styled NES controller, but for people who grew up in Asia in the '80s this will feel right at home. The voice recorder features a volume slider, a place to shove two AAA batteries, and a couple of buttons that aren't labeled well.
If you're into getting all retro when you conduct your interview with the Prime Minister of Japan, this is the way to go.

Look out Microsoft, your text input device isn't the only console keyboard peripheral in the planning stages. Our friends at Wii Fanboy got a pic from page 18 of Game Informer's May 2007 issue (that's the one with the GTA IV exclusive) that mentions, "Nintendo's development team says that it is considering adding a keyboard peripheral to the system in order to make online surfing easier." We agree, browsing the web on the Wii can be a chore, but we're not really looking forward to a clumsy keyboard hanging around our svelte Wii. All right, all right, they haven't "officially announced anything at this time," so we'll wait to see what the boys in Kyoto cook up. How about some DS touchscreen keyboard action?

The rapid progression in the dark world of Wii modding has prompted Nintendo to post a rather unorthodox warning on its official UK site.
"Modification microchips (mod chips) circumvent the security embedded into Nintendo's products. To install a mod chip into a Nintendo hardware system, it is necessary to dismantle the product and, in some instances, remove components," the warning reads.
"The use of mod chips voids the manufacturer's warranty. In addition, the installation of a mod chip can damage the functionality of a Nintendo console, sometimes rendering it incapable of repair."
"Mod chips have been adjudicated to be illegal in various countries around the world, including the Unites States, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong. Most European countries have also already adopted laws prohibiting the circumvention of technological measures for copyright protection. People caught installing or selling mod chips may be subject to criminal charges."
We at DCEmu have always frowned at Piracy and are only interested in Homebrew and for that Modchips at the moment are most peoples best chance at future homebrew support on the Wii.

We've got a shed-load of new screens from EA's DS outing in its classic sim series Sim City.
It may be miniaturised, but Sim City DS retains the depth of 'bigger' versions, giving you the power to build an entire city - with the stylus of course - and maintain it as the population grows and it gets pummelled by natural disasters.
You can get a sneaky peak at how the touch-screen city editor will make building your city a cinch on DS, and the sort of disasters you will face.
Sim City DS is set for a June 22 release here in UK.

If you've never wished you could web-sling through city streets like Spider-Man, there's something wrong with you.
That's why the Wii version of Spider-Man 3 hopes to be special because it uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to simulate letting you web-sling like Spider-Man, firing the sticky string with each hand as you swing through NYC.
The trailer's a bit on the cheesy side, but at least you'll get to see how it works, as well as some of Spidey's fighting skills in action on Wii, and the dark suit transformation.
If you're looking forward to the game, you've not long to wait - it's due out on all formats in May.
