That's right. Super Paper Mario, a positively charming title once scheduled for the Gamecube, has been confirmed by the latest issue of Nintendo Power for an April release. The game, which will use the controller retro-style (read: on its side) to emulate that classic Mario feel, will use the A button to flip-flop between the 2-D and 3-D perspectives. Truly, we haven't seen a game of this particular dimensional scope since Yoshi's Story! For a bit more information on the title, check here.
Also, Mario Party 8, the first Wii entry in the seminal series, will be dropping on March 5th, according to Nintendo's official site. Along with Sonic and the Secret Rings, March and April are actually turning out to be some decent months for the little white box. With Wario Ware: Smooth Moves this past month and Wii Play on February 12th, we're set for awhile. You?

What do you do when you need that true-to-life steering wheel experience, however you don't have the money to buy Ubisoft's attachment (or think that it's ridiculously priced)? Make your own, of course! While we would've initially pictured more candidates sporting the ultimate do-it-yourself repair aid (hint: duct tape) then the other, more ridiculous solutions that the forum-goers came up with, we laugh all the same.
Anyone up for making a Homemade Star Wars Light Sabre accessorie ?

"Maybe we should have researched this."
Get used to hearing that line, because it's probably going to be one of the most-quoted statements from the radio contest in Sacramento that seems to have resulted in the death of at least one woman. Footage from the show has turned up on YouTube and seems noteworthy as this story develops further. It is, however, striking in that it is likely to be the center of a lot of arguments regarding who here, if anyone, is at fault.

Heres the info:
The Nintendo Wii can play movies taken with most digital cameras without additional software. But if you have existing movies that were compressed in a format that the Wii does not understand, you can use Wii Transfer to convert those movies to play in the Wii's Photo Channel.
• Show album cover artwork in the music sharing interface — new in version 2.1.
• Share MP3 music and pictures to your Wii over local network.
• Convert movies for playing in Wii's Photo Channel.
• Copy movies to SD card automatically if connected.
• Browse and convert iTunes video podcasts from within Wii Transfer.

One of the joys of looking after the DS section of a European-centric website is you spend a lot of time studying the Japanese and US release dates of games you know won't surface over here for months.
Hence the need to trawl the various game import sites, to ensure we keep up-to-date with the latest reviews. But what with the downfall of Hong Kong-based games importer, Lik Sang, we've increasingly had to rely on the Wild West environment that is eBay.
And we were unpleasantly surprised when one of our most recent purchases, Mario Hoops 3-on-3 (due to be released in Europe as Mario Slam Basketball on 16 February), turned out to be a fake.
Perhaps the best clue was the price – the 'Buy-it now' price was £4.99, with P&P at £12 – which was significantly lower you'd expect for an import DS game. However, the seller, heyh_sz, seemed like a good bet. A member since 7th December 2004, his feedback score was 990, of which only 16 were negative.
The game arrived promptly, too. And when trying it out, it worked fine. Only some close attention to the goods revealed its counterfeit nature.
From the front, the pirated game cart itself (right) looks quite similar to a real import game (in this case Pokémon Ranger, left). One subtle difference is the cutoff on the bottom left hand corner of the sticker on the fake is slightly more rounded then it should be.
The differences become more obvious when you turn the cart over.
The first thing to notice is that while the fake says 'NTR-005 PAT(ent) PEND(ing),' it doesn't have an individually printed number beneath. The back of the cart is smooth, not indented like the real game, too. And finally, although impossible to see on this resolution of image, the bottom of the PCB board on the fake says 'Nintendo 001-01' instead of a more complex manufacturer code (in the case of Pokémon Ranger, it's I N-5 003-10).
The game box of the fake was also made of lower quality plastic – it felt cheap – and didn't have an official Nintendo logo embedded next to the game cart holder.
Finally, the quality of the printing of the cover and instruction manual was much lower than an official game. In fact, in the case of this fake, the instruction manual was actually just a game review from a US website. Being real gamers of course, we only bothered looked at the manual last, even though this was the biggest give-away.
Heading back to eBay to make our case for getting heyh_sz kicked off, we found he'd already been removed. Indeed, checking through his feedback listings, it was clear he had already been pointed out as an alleged seller of fake/pirated games by a couple of other buyers.
So the moral of this story is if it's too good to be true, it probably is. Of course, sometimes you do get bargains on eBay and other import game sites, but it's always worth doing a bit of digging around, especially on eBay feedback, if you're suspicious.

Another newsbit from our pal JoeyBuckets, this time he happens to be directly involved. After downloading what he swears was an old Zelda cartoon from BitTorrent, his ISP was contacted by the ESA with the following letter. In short, be careful what you download and stop downloading illegal games unless you want to lose your internet service and possibly deal with other legal issues. Now that the Virtual Console is out, Nintendo can and will take a hard stance against even older ROM’s if they wish. We highly suggest just getting the Wii system and playing your favorite games legitimately and supporting those that put in the work to bring them to us. We at The Wii Experience do not condone downloading illegal software and the following letter is an example of what your ISP may receive if you do such activities.

Our buddy Joey Buckets promises he wasn’t downloading the game, but seeing none of this was worth the movie he did download, he fully deleted the file and uninstalled all of his file sharing software. It’s truly just not worth it.

Sculptor/illustrator Paul Thiel made the super-cute 6"-tall Mii sculpture seen above as a Christmas present for friend Allison McCarthy. It started as just a fun idea, but, as Thiel explained in an e-mail to Joystiq, "after showing it around we got to thinking about the possibility getting it out there and try to take small orders."
Thiel is hard at work on a web site to take orders for smaller, 3.5" versions of the personalized Sculpey and acrylic creations. Until then, people interested in having a Mii sculpture of their own can e-mail miisculpture@allisonqmccarthy.com to express their interest. Exact pricing is not set yet, but Thiel says he'd like to "make them as affordable as possible to everyone with a Mii."

Much like the Game Boy Advance, the DS has few games rated M for Mature. The most prominent of these is Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, the 2006 reworking of the original game in Capcom's groundbreaking horror-survival series.
The ESRB reveals a new DS game.
Now, though, it appears Deadly Silence will have some company. According to the latest listings on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board Web site, Ubisoft has recently received an M rating for its latest DS game. The title in question earned the imprint for "blood, mild language, [and] violence," which are in rare supply on Nintendo's kid-friendly handheld.
The Ubisoft game is also noteworthy since it has not yet been announced--and might mark the debut of the World War II shooter on the DS. Titled Brothers in Arms War Stories, the game appears to be the second handheld spin-off of Gearbox-developed Brothers in Arms series. Last December, Brothers in Arms D-Day arrived on the PSP to lackluster reviews.
But while the ESRB listing appears to indicate the imminent announcement of Brothers in Arms War Stories, nothing is official yet. Ubisoft declined to comment on the ESRB listing, and did not offer any details on the game.

With WarioWare: Smooth Moves standing as the sole retail Wii release since the middle of December, owners of the new system may foster worries of a post-launch drought of new games. However, those same owners may find comfort today, as Nintendo has released a slate of a dozen Wii games scheduled for release by the end of March.
While the Nintendo faithful will have to endure a few dry weeks (Wii Play with Wii Remote is the only release before March), a number of high-profile franchises are set to hit the system by the end of the quarter. Ubisoft is down for bringing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Prince of Persia series to the Wii, while Sega is ready to offer gamers Sonic and the Secret Rings. Electronic Arts is also bringing some famous faces to the system in the form of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, SSX Blur, The Godather: Blackhand Edition, and Medal of Honor: Vanguard.
However, this list may not be comprehensive. Earlier today, Ubisoft released a list of its own expected first quarter releases as part of its financial earnings statement, and that list indicated Driver: Parallel Lines for the Wii would also make it to store shelves in the first quarter. A Nintendo representative had not returned request for comment as of press time, but an Ubisoft spokesperson reiterated that the game will be released before the end of March.
There's also the matter of Virtual Console games. Sega has already committed to bringing five more titles to the downloadable service in the first quarter, and Nintendo said it will bring Mario Kart 64 to the Virtual Console "next week." Nintendo has said that Monday would be the launch day for downloadable games on its digital distribution service, but in the past exceptions have been made.
Nintendo's full list of expected first quarter retail releases follows below:
February 14--Wii Play with Wii Remote--Nintendo
March 27--Disney's Meet the Robinsons--Buena Vista
March--Bust-A-Move Bash--Majesco
March--Prince of Persia Rival Swords--Ubisoft
March--TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)--Ubisoft
March--Bionicle Heroes--Eidos
March--Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII--Ubisoft
Q1--Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07--EA
Q1--SSX Blur--EA
Q1--The Godfather Blackhand Edition--EA
Q1--Medal of Honor Vanguard--EA
Q1--Sonic and the Secret Rings--Sega

Nintendo has honored 100 grandparents, from 54-year-old Rubin, a professional racquetball player from Staten Island, to 104-year-old Waldo, a beekeeper and author living in Kansas. Recipients of the prestigious honor, which included a DS Lite and copy of Brain Age, were selected by the Grandparent Marketing Group on the basis of "agelessness"; that is, each honoree represents someone who defies stereotypes associated with the elderly. "They refuse to act their age. They think young, and therefore they act young. Brain Age is one more tool in their anti-aging arsenal," explained Nintendo's George Harrison.
The 'Ageless American' honor is just Nintendo's latest promotional tactic, part of the Touch Generations campaign, which seeks to tap into the 55-and-up gamer demographic (reportedly accounting for 25% of the total gaming population). This past August, Nintendo hosted a Grandparent's Day competition in New York City -- sadly, despite weeks of practice, President Bush was not eligible to compete.

Theme park chain Six Flags announced today that the Nintendo Wii is now the "Official Gaming Console of Six Flags," meaning that the Wii will be available for free play at "Wii Gaming Stations" at "select Six Flags-branded theme parks" (which of Six Flags' 26 parks will get the Wii is unclear). In exchange, Nintendo will promote Six Flags through an upcoming contest on nintendo.com.
The marketing deal seems to be, in part, an effort to lure in kids who would rather stay home and play video game than go to a theme park. "When this audience is not in our parks, more often than not they are at home playing video games -- and now they can do both in one place," Six Flags CEO Mark Shapiro said in the release. With the announcement, Nintendo joins companies like Cold Stone Creamery, Kodak and Home Depot in throwing thinly-veiled marketing messages at customers that paid good money just to ride some freaking roller coasters without being bombarded with ads and will you look at these lines I mean where do all these people come from seven dollars for a hamburger what am I made of money next year let's go to the beach. Sheesh!

Ed Boon, creator of the venerable Mortal Kombat series, talks with Gamespot about the upcoming Wii release of MK: Armageddon while pitching a promotional video of the same. Boon talks motion-controls, a new endurance mode where you see how many fighters you can take down without replenishing your health bar, and what it's like to develop games on Wii. Basically, he says for gamers (himself included) the Wii is a great console, and for developers, it's "very similar to doing games for the GameCube, with the addition of the Wii's controllers." He also notes that the Wii version won't support online play because online components "were not ready" when Midway would have needed them in the development cycle. Bummer. Armageddon hits Wii May 1.

Reggie Fils-Aime is quite a guy. Ever since his "kickin' ass and takin' names" opening gambit at E3 2004 we've had a special place in our hearts for the cheeky-faced Nintendo of America pres. But is the Regginator going soft?
In a Q&A on GamePro, Fils-Aime was asked the following not-so-subtly loaded question: "Sony appears to be having difficulties moving a large number of PS3s. What, if anything, do you think is to blame for this? A high price? A lack of must have games?"
Despite setting him up so sweetly for a massive damage dealing, ass kicking response opportunity, the big man from the big N simply replied: "Happily, that's a question you'll have to put to Sony."
So, no kickin' ass from the Fils with the skills for Sony this time - just some good ol' fashioned smugness. Go Reggie.

Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime has said in an interview that the company is interested in HD Wii content but it's too early to call at the moment.
Speaking to GamePro, Fils-Aime said that the demand doesn't seem to be there at the moment to offer a HD Wii. But it's something that could happen in the future.
"I just saw a survey from the Centre for Media Research that showed only 17 percent of U.S. households have a TV set capable of high definition," he said. "Flip that number around, and that means that a full 83 percent of households do not have the means to produce the kinds of visuals that high definition devices require. Of course, we're intensely interested in better technology, but sometimes our definition of the right technology is different from other peoples'."

Keiji Inafune, one of Capcom's most highly regarded developers and creator of Mega Man (Rockman) and the more recent Dead Rising, has revealed that Capcom is working on an as yet unannounced Wii game.
Speaking with Japanese magazine, Gemaga, (via IGN) Inefune did not reveal what role he is playing in the project, if any at all, but with Dead Rising and Lost Planet being his latest work - and two of the biggest games on 360 - we're hoping he'll have some involvement.
Capcom was not available for comment at the time of writing.
