Ben Herman, president of SNK's American division, has spoken to UK rumormongering site Spong about Virtual Console. In so doing he has spilled many interesting tidbits about how Nintendo is running things these days. The info:
Nintendo has all the data. "I know that Nintendo has all the code for NES and SNES titles, all of the manuals and so on. They have a pretty good filing cabinet and all they have to do is seek permission from the IP holder to put the game out over Virtual Console, then share the income."
No online party? "Nintendo is still not letting Wii third-party publishers include online capabilities in their games and it doesn't look like they will during 2007."
Arcade sticks? "Nintendo has told the games community to go out and developer peripherals that will work with whatever games are coming out for the Wii."
SNK's high-def ambitions. "There will be new arcade development, and the arcade development that was announced last year at the Tokyo Game Show, will include high-def content because unless you have a high-def product, you're not going to put out a PS3 of an Xbox 360 game."

Tom has updated his Game Collection for the DS:
Changes:
New DevkitPro, PALib and libfat
If it says "Could not initialize FAT driver", then try to patch it with a .dldi file from here
Background music from modarchive.org
All games can be controlled with the stylus, except Tetris. If anyone has a suggestion how to solve this, post it!
Default icon was replaced and description slightly changed. But I don't know how they look because my Supercard SD doesn't show them.
I didn't change anything in the save/load code, so you can use your old highscore file if you have one.

News from the makers of the Free Web Browser for the Nintendo DS:
Heres the newspost:
Yeah, I figured it would be time to give you an update...
Just to make (almost everybody happy): It will work on any card that uses DLDI.
I will also post a picture of the browser fully working soon. (Probably Monday).
Oh, and the last thing: There will be 4 different versions. They are somehow the same, but they differ in size. We don't know the exact sizes yet, but the difference is the amount of space that can be stored in the file. That is "to be honest" the only thing that's left to do here (and some parts of the interface, but that's not that important). The biggest file will probably have around 100 mb of space to store images, favorites, pages and maybe Flash in the future. If you don't have enough space on your Flash Card, you can always use a smaller one.
PS: I can't wait untill it gets released! I would love to hear your reactions, so we can expand it even more!

Details on Blazing Angels have been thin, and the game's release date was shaky for a long time as well. Given those factors, it's understandable that rumors can sprout from the tiniest things -- like a WiFi logo on a placeholder box at IGN. We've seen placeholder boxes start a ruckus before, but this time there may be more too it than a simple mistake.
Blazing Angels was, as far as we know, slated to be online all along. It's not unpossible that we'll see online dogfights, but it may be very, very unlikely. However, this game was originally slated for an earlier release, so maybe we can cross off at least one "very" from that statement. We know online devkits went out, and that with the game's delay ... well, we can definitely understand the speculation.
Reggie Fils-Aime said the Wii should be online by Q2. But here's the thing -- that article didn't specify whether we're talking about the second quarter of the fiscal year or the year by the calendar -- and either way, late March is on the cusp. So it's actually more feasible than, say, hell freezing over this afternoon, but maybe only just.
However, you'd think if Blazing Angels were slated to feature online competitive play, Ubisoft would be promoting this game in spectacular, heretofore unseen ways. But let's not forget that lately, when it comes to the Wii, sometimes things get sprung on us out of nowhere.
Go Nintendo has a collection of information from different sources that refer to online play, and it's difficult to determine if this is generic info (since this is a cross-platform title) or specific to the Wii. We've e-mailed our Ubisoft rep and hope for a response, or something that clarifies the situation, but it's late on a Friday afternoon, so hopes are not high when it comes to getting a straight answer today.

As you may be aware, Nintendo made a somewhat muted announcement that was to see SNK titles hitting the Wii Virtual Console. No games, franchises or a release date was known. We spoke to SNK US boss Ben Herman to find out more.
"Nintendo is going to be adding Neo Geo games to Virtual Console," Explained Herman. "The games will be available at some point this year. I can't say exactly when. I expect that we'll be putting out a certain limited number of titles per month.
"I can't say which games or franchises will come available right now, though that is being worked out in Japan as we speak. Of all the MVS and AES games in the Neo Geo Library, I'd say that any of them would be available.
"I know that Nintendo has all the code for NES and SNES titles, all of the manuals and so on. They have a pretty good filing cabinet and all they have to do is seek permission from the IP holder to put the game out over Virtual Console, then share the income. When this was announced, I said to you, wouldn't it be great if they could put the Neo Geo system on there. I didn't mean the arcade system, rather the AES home system. Right now I don't know if the focus will be on AES or MVS, even though they are largely the same, but the fact that the Neo Geo is being added is a very exciting thing."
So how will this news impact on SNK's traditional business areas of delivering home versions of its coin-op offerings? We're aware that SNK has encountered some trouble in the US domestic market with platform holders over content issues with modern released of older titles... "It's difficult to say," continued Herman. "If you're dealing with a customer, who wants to download games through Virtual Console, that's great. I think that if anything, it's going to make our consumers who know us, as well as a lot of new players who do not know us, become much more familiar with the SNK franchises."
So no conflict between the boxed SNK releases? "No. I think that if we were to release games that have not been available on modern systems... There are a lot of games that people want from us that we have been unable to release for whatever reason, and it would be a nice opportunity to deliver these games. There'd be a lot of money involved in releasing a version of a game that has limited or niche appeal. This way, if people want to buy something, they can just buy it. \
"I think that when we're added to Virtual Console, if people don't know Neo Geo, they're going to see it on Virtual Console, look at it, taste it and in that sense, it's going to be a very good thing for SNK's visibility and the world rediscovering who we are."
How does this impact on the deal with Sony, being penned out right now, for Neo Geo content on the PlayStation 3? Will certain titles be exclusive to one system's online offering?
"What I would say is, right now, I personally have not seen anything to suggest that there will be any exclusivity of titles for either machine. Microsoft has been very selective and is not looking for everything... Sony is just getting started. Nintendo is being careful, with NES and SNES titles, not to over-saturate the market. Microsoft has shown us that online games can be a strong part of a machine's offering. Nintendo is still not letting Wii third-party publishers include online capabilities in their games and it doesn't look like they will during 2007. So the best chance they have at building an online presence appears to be what they're doing with Virtual Console.
"You have two platforms out now that run high-def games and a lot of our catalogue merchandise is not in high-def, obviously. There will be new arcade development, and the arcade development that was announced last year at the Tokyo Game Show, will include high-def content because unless you have a high-def product, you're not going to put out a PS3 of an Xbox 360 game. Right now we have PlayStation 2, PSP, Nintendo Wii and DS, for which I would like to get more product, though we have the first DS product coming out this spring... These are great platforms and we're participating in many of them."
So, any exciting peripherals for the VC? There's speculation that we might see a huge dirty wireless arcade stick...
"Two things: One, Nintendo has told the games community to go out and developer peripherals that will work with whatever games are coming out for the Wii. Two, there's a number of peripheral companies. It's their job to do this and those are the companies that will work on that. Of course, one nice thing Nintendo did was to release the Classic Controller..."

David Hawley has posted a ton of info of how to edit your Mii, heres an excerpt:
Overview
Nintendo This should try to explain how Mii's with different coloured pants can be created through an explanation of the Mii ID.
Mii ID's
Before we start you need to understand how to change the Mii ID. The basic format of the Mii ID is a hexadecimal in the form xx-xx-xx-xx. This is easily edited with any Hex editor, I used HxD.
If you don't know how the binaries are formatted the Mii Data Specification is very helpful.
Quick Mii ID guide
0x00000000 - 0x1FFFFFFF Creates Special Mii - Gold Pants
0x20000000 - 0x3FFFFFFF Creates Normal Mii - Black Pants
0x40000000 - 0x5FFFFFFF Creates Special Mii - Gold Pants
0x60000000 - 0xBFFFFFFF Creates Normal Mii - Black Pants
0xC0000000 - 0xDFFFFFFF Creates Foreign Mii - Blue Pants (uneditable)
0xE0000000 - 0xFFFFFFFF Creates Normal Mii - Black Pants

IEEE Spectrum is running an article on the inventor of the motion sensor that the Wii uses. The microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gives Wii its core ability to sense motion in the controller. What's really interesting is where Benedetto Vigna wants to take this technology. He has plans to make the sensor smaller and tougher, and hope to place it inside of things like shoes, textiles, and medical devices to aid in data collection. He continues, 'Then I want to make a three-dimensional gyroscope, to measure rotation around three different axes. Today, such products are quite big, a cube 10 centimeters on a side. We want to do this in less than a 30-millimeter cube, to serve as an image stabilizer in cameras and to track a person's position in the intervals when he can't get a GPS signal

Me and LiraNuna had a little contest today if you want to call it that. We made DLDI conversions of Tales of Dagur. Of course LiraNuna has been coding a lot longer than me so LiraNuna "won". (By 5 freaking min.) News via LiraNuna's Blog: http:liranuna.drunkencoders.com
"Due to some request made, I have decided to throw a quick DLDI support to Tales of Dagur.
There’s a known bug that prevents game reset after the "Game over" screen. If anyone finds a fix for that, Please do not hassist to notify me.
Thanks goes to DragonMinded for libfatdragon."

Disney's next big animated feature's been a long time coming, but we're finally going to see Meet the Robinson hit the theaters later this spring. With big kid's movies come videogames attached to the brand, and Meet the Robinson is no different -- Disney Interactive will be releasing a bunch of games based on the film. We recently had the opportunity to romp around within the Nintendo DS version, which is a completely separate game from the Wii and PS2 versions in development at Avalanche.
The Nintendo DS game's being worked on by Altron, a Japanese studio that's very familiar with the Nintendo handheld platform. The game the team's created for Disney Interactive is a touch-screen focused over-the-shoulder action adventure that puts heavy emphasis on the Will Robinson's arsenal of gadgetry...something that fans of the movie will be quite familiar with.
The game's story is similar to what's been created for the console -- instead of a game that's a by-the-numbers retelling of the film, this game's more of a spin-off that revolves around the movie's characters but tells a new tale. Meet the Robinson starts in the past (as the Robinsons are huge on time travel) where Wilbur screws up the time line somewhere down the line and must fix a future gone completely screwy.
Players control Will using a combination of the D-pad and touch screen. Will's maneuvered via the directional pad, and enemies are targetted with a tap on the touch screen. The camera will lock onto the targetted enemy or object until the target's unlocked or simply destroyed by Will's firepower. Players can fire weapons and activate gadgets either by the system buttons or, better yet, via on-screen buttons so that players don't have to leave the touch screen. Shoulder buttons are used for rotating the camera for when you're not locked onto an object. Obviously with your hand off the system it'll make it difficult to hit the other shoulder button to rotate the camera the other way, which is why the developers added a virtual shoulder button on-screen to do the job. If that's not enough, simply tapping the L button will snap the camera in the direction Wilbur's facing.
The Nintendo DS version actually looks really impressive, offering an incredibly detailed 3D engine running at a fast and smooth 60 frames per second rate on the lower screen. The game is more about action than platforming -- in fact, like in Zelda, players don't have to worry about jumping. Wilbur jumps automatically in context to where he is...whether it's just across a gap in the floor or when he's trying to climb up a ledge.
Outside of the main adventure, players can take part in Charge Ball, a version of a futuristic sport that's a lot like a cross between Breakout and Discs of Tron. This sport can be played against the computer or against another player on a second system. It's not a bad diversion, offering a quick pick-up-and-play competition that's not easy to dominate.
