I've just released my review of the Express Card; A new flashcart device for the Nintendo DS. This review is however also applicable on a number of other devices (I have yet to receive samples of them so I can't be a 100% sure), namely the DS Fire Link, the NeoFlash MK5 and possibly others.
All games I tested worked with no (heavy noticable) problems/lag, even ones that are known to give problems such as Castlevania. The menu system could however still use some work (it's quite unclear, though after a while you partially get used to it) but that can of course come over time as it is just firm/software

via shiftedlibrarian
a couple of libraries have already been experimenting with Wiis for gaming in the library, albeit more as a novelty since they're so new and you can't connect them for multiplayer gaming (at least not yet).
The Lafayette Public Library System in Louisiana held a tournament using their Gamecube, but Systems Administrator Adam Melancon also brought in his own Wii to let folks play with. He's already started thinking about best practices (for example, put an "x" on the floor using tape so that people know where to stand or else they tend to move about and run into things!). Flickr pictures here, with a newspaper article about their gaming program here. Adam even has Friends of the Library money to buy two Wiis, four Wiimotes (controllers), and two copies of "Excite Truck" for the Library if he can just get his hands on them.
It's not just libraries in the U.S., though. Earlier this month Edwin posted about Wiiplay in his library in the Netherlands and how popular gaming is in general there. The post is in Dutch, but Babelfish gives you the general idea in English (or other languages). He's also got some other fun Wii links in the post, too.

Order! Capcom's domestic version of the lawyer 'em up series we know as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is being prepared for a fourth major stint in court. Two versions of Gyakuten Saiban 4 will be released simultaneously in Japan on April 12 -- one edition is not limited and costs ¥5,040 (US$42), while the other is limited and more pricey (¥9,240/US$76). Permit us to solve the mystery of their differences: the limited edition includes Gyakuten Saiban-branded headphones, a DS card entitled Gyakuten Saiban Dictionary, and a DVD that contains footage of animated highlights from all games in the series.
The Saiban Dictionary seems like it could be a useful tool, as it explains Japanese legalese (truly a complicated language) in some detail. The limited edition DVD even contains footage of last September's Gyakuten Saiban stage performance at the Tokyo Game Show. Now let's have an English version of this package, please, Capcom. The law is an ass -- we think Phoenix Wright kicks it.

The Supercard teams release of their Slot 1 Flash cart and also their Rumble flash cart for the DS Lite Slot 2 has most likely given them the ultimate combo for the DS Lite, you have the Slot 1 with clean rom support and using the Slot 2 cart you have the rumble function and also full GBA compatability.
Anyone else share or disagree with this opinion?

As we have already posted 2 or more firms are making Modchips for the Wii and theres a rumour that one is already at production stage.
Now for me installing a modchip in my Wii to play homebrew etc is a bridge too far for me, one because i cant solder and 2 because im too scared to stuff it up.
But if its the only way will you be tempted to install a modchip in your Wii.
ill be interested to see what the verdict is on this via comments.

News/release from Kiswa
Gameplay:
There is a game grid of 5x6 coins that each contain a letter. You will have 2 minutes (may change once I play test) to create a certain number of words from adjacent tiles. Each level will increase the number of words that must be created to get to the next level.
There will be 5 coin types. Bronze coins are standard scoring (Scrabble points*100), Silver coins will double the word score, Gold coins will triple word score. There are also penalty coins, Orange coins will halve word score, Red coins will quarter word score.
There will also be two bomb types. The 'standard bomb' will clear coins above, below, and on either side of the bomb. The 'mystery bomb' will clear the same, and change a random selection of coins to bonus/penalty coins.
Download:
This game doesn't work right in Dualis. I have tested on hardware, and it's fine (no$gba works okay too, but no sound).
While at the game grid screen, hit Start to return to the menu!
Word Bank 0.1a - Alpha: Instructions, Credits, Music, game grid setup - NO Gameplay yet ("Scramble" button works though)
More Info:
Seeing Word Up! by superpanic motivated me to get my game going, thanks superpanic!
Currently, Word Bank is in a pre-release Alpha stage. I have done most of the art design and the basic coding (no gameplay yet). I will post a screenshot or two when I get home from work.
If I can at least finish the tutorial tonight, I will post the Alpha for your opinions!
I am hoping to get some serious work done on it this weekend and may have a playable Beta available in the next few days. I will be very happy to get any constructive criticism to help me improve my game.
This is the first game I have ever programmed! Most of my programming has been limited to web apps, so keep that in mind when play testing (once I release a Beta).

Today I got bored and figured why not bug nintendo for a few minuets to relieve that boredom. So I sent them this email.
Dear Nintendo, I've written you before about the virtual console.
But that's not the point I wish to make this time.
I find myself at this moment with a stock pile of wii points and nothing to spend them on.
That's not to say there isn't a number of great games on the wii shop channel.
That's only to say I've bought all the games that I know I would love to play, and I look forward to future virtual console releases, in fact every monday I check the shop channel hourly to see if that weeks virtual console content has been released, What can I say. Im a huge retro fan.
However on to the criticism part. there are some games in the wii shop channel that interest me.
But for lack of better description and illustration, I find myself passing up those titles. Dungeon Explorer, Gunstar heroes, and Ristar come to mind.
Now I realize this is where this email is forwarded to someone in the virtual console department to give me a nice generic response with a personal touch to make me feel all warm and bubbly inside, followed by the pitch to join the Nsider forums and such.
But before you do that, Please consider that on standard definition televisions, while the (More Details) descriptions are pretty vague, the illustrations while adding some flavor are hard to view.
a magnification feature would be really nice in these areas along with more detailed descriptions.
And even though this isn't likely to happen, short videos of in game footage would be a welcome addition as well.
Now before this is disregarded as just a constructive view from a wii fan. Which it is.
Please consider that these features would be useful to help appeal to a wider rage of people with various eye sight conditions and even those who would like to know more information about the Game's they're about to take a chance on.
Regards, Shadowprophet.
Anyway. I should have a reply in about four or five days, and when it comes ill post it here as well.
As always feel free to

Bandai Namco Games is working on a Detective Conan game for the Nintendo DS called Detective Conan: Tantei Ka-Trainer (Detective Conan: Power Detective Trainer). Unlike the other Detective Conan games you’re not cracking cases. Instead Detective Conan: Tantei Ka-Trainer is a collection of brain teasing mini games. In one game you pick out the correct key to fit in a hole, another has Conan play rock-paper-scissors with a fellow junior detective and in another you pick out subjects from a line up. It’s probably not as exciting as solving cases, but there is a chance you might replay Detective Conan: Tantei Ka-Trainer again instead of leaving it on the shelf after you figure out the truth in the other Detective Conan games.
