The Nintendo Wii version of Wario Ware won't be released in the West until after Christmas by the looks of things.
Nintendo has confirmed the game is due out in the US on 15th January, despite showing up as a launch title in Japan, and there's been no official word on a European date.
That's a bit of a shame, as Wario Ware has been widely acclaimed as one of the most exciting of the Wii's early games. Certainly from our experience with it, it rekindles a sense of innovation and hilarity that was sorely lacking from the DS version.
Still, hopefully it won't be long before European Wii consumers will be chopping, balancing, pumping and steering their way through Wario's latest. We'll let you know.
Nintendo Wii itself, of course, is due to launch in Europe on 8th December, following a 19th November US launch.

News from Lik Sang
This week's big new release is the US edition of a unique NDS role playing game, Contact. Before we get to it though, on the topic of different DS titles, recently SNK revealed Dokidoki Majosaiban (translated; Exciting Witch Trials), and as bizarre as Japanese games have always gotten, we're still surprised by them. Utilizing your stylus on girls with, as they say, "throbbing witch judgment", you search suspected witches. The first screenshot is shown below on the left, but we also have some concept fan art inspired with the idea of a sequel on the Wii; a job for another Mini Skirt Police title perhaps?
Contact - NDS (US)
The DS's original abilities have touched various genres to date, and now it's time to do the same for an RPG. Titled Contact, you yourself are the central character in the adventure designed by Gouichi Suda of Killer 7 fame, with characters born out of Atsuko Fukushima who's worked on everything from PoPoLoCrois on PSP, to movies like Akira and Kiki's Delivery Service. Events kick off when a professor takes a boy named Terry around the galaxy in his space ship, but trying to escape a terrorist, they crash land on an unknown planet. Separated, the only link between them is you and your DS. The professor talks to you from the top screen, giving you directions to help Terry on the lower screen. Using your stylus you interact with the characters and try to help them locate the pieces of the ship’s power source.
There's plenty of real time battles to fight along the way, and various stickers are used to power up and unleash special attacks. Then there's animal-training, item-collecting, monster-hunting, and retro style mini-games to enjoy. By switching Terry's costumes it gives him new abilities too, for example opening up the skills to be a chef, a fisherman, a firefighter, a pilot or others. Over the Wi-Fi, if your friends have a copy they'll be transformed into NPC's on your own game. They'll then have the power to level up specific skills, give you rare items, or just make fun of you when you mess up. A fresh and lighthearted RPG, the US edition of Contact is in stock this week and like every DS title, it's region free and will work on every handheld the whole world over.

News/release from Enira of a Notepad App for the DS:
Note:
Be aware that this is a beta. This code has never seen any hardware so I do not know how it will react.
But it worked whilst emulated.
In this beta, the text file gets written into the SRAM. (So no fancy screens etc...) (Thanks Mollusk for the idea.)
About the project:
Know Issues:
-The scrollbar should be optimized.
When the text autoscrolls because you are moving beyond your screen limits, the scrollbar doesn't updates.
-The cursor resets to 0 when scrolling (Will be optimized next time for sure)
-Quite some glitches/bugs I suppose.
Further implementations: ( When Santa delivers me a piece of hardware to develop )
-FAT implementation so SRAM will be chucked out.
-Config file to save where you left
-Config file to store costum grafitti's
-Basic improvements in grafitti: 'wizard' modus that makes the grafitti adept to your writing style.
(The more you practice the 'wizard' the accurate your writing becomes)
About the DSe Notepad.
Keys:
Start: Only when asked to reset SRAM.
X: Switch screen
Y: Add Breakpoint
Left: Move cursor left
Right: Move cursor right
Not used:
L (Suggested: Scroll Up)
R (Suggested: Scroll Down)
Select
A
B
Up
Down
Switch Screen:
The X button allows you to switch the text to the lower screen so you can set your cursor somewhere in the text.
Press X to switch your screen again.
Breakpoints:
Breakpoints (that's what I call it) are markings in the text ,like a cursor (but red), that select an amount of text.
Press once to add the first breakpoint, press Y again to add the last breakpoint and press again to unselect.
Once an area of text is marked with these breakpoints you can copy/cut it.
About the Input:
Input can be done both ways.
a) The keyboard
b) The stylus

Today Atlus announced its DS adventure game Contact has shipped to retailers and will be in stores tomorrow, October 19. Contact is that new game where you play as yourself, and everyone seems to have a hard time describing its unique gameplay.
It seems The Professor needs your help to fix his spaceship, and you'll have to contact him through your DS to offer your assistance. During the game, you'll monitor The Professor on the top screen, and control his assistant Terry on the bottom. There's also an Animal Crossingish multiplayer mode that lets you make contact with your friends.

You know that feeling when you're trying to buy something at a store, but the clerk follows your every move making you feel like you're about to gank something? Sucks, doesn't it? Well that might be the case this fall when play testing the Wii at some retail stores. Says Nintendo VP George Harrison in speaking with IGN:
"We have spent considerable time designing in-store displays that will best showcase the Wii console's unique games and provide an entertaining experience for players while still fitting well into a retail environment. Wireless controllers will be used and we are asking retailers to have staff available to help consumers have a successful first experience with Wii."
Asking retailers is one thing. Doing is another, especially on a retailer's dime. (Who's gonna staff someone full-time to safeguard Wiimotes or help swing a virtual tennis racket?) Even if demo units feature wireless controllers, expect tethers for convenience and to discourage cleptos, at least as a store policy.

News via Eurogamer
Nintendo has announced some DS game release targets for early 2007, and slipped a few of its planned Q4 2006 releases into the near year as well.
Mario Slam Basketball (the game known as Mario Hoops 3-on-3 in the US) had been down for a 10th November release, but is now listed as Q1 2007, while both Star Fox Command (previously 24th Nov) and Actionloop (previously 27th Oct) are now due out on 26th January 2007.
It's hardly a barren landscape between now and the end of the year though, with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Yoshi's Island 2 still down for 10th November and 1st December respectively, and Tenchu Dark Secret added for 24th November.
Moving into Q1, Nintendo has a wider range of software, including key third-party titles like Children of Mana (Square-Enix) and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All (Capcom). Diddy Kong Racing DS, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, Pokémon Ranger, Harvest Moon DS and Magical Starsign are all also listed for Q1 2007.
Nintendo also plans to release the pink edition of the DS Lite console itself on 27th October, as previously announced.

Wario Ware Smooth Moves misses Christmas. Nintendo confirms January 15 in the US with a European details to follow
Being a confirmed launch-day release in Japan, we were hoping to see Wario Ware Smooth Moves in Europe in time for Christmas.
This now seems highly unlikely after Nintendo confirms it won't hit US stores until January 15 2007. Nintendo would not disclose the European release date to CVG, but it's pretty safe to assume we won't be seeing Wario Ware over here before the US release.
If you're desperate for crazy, 10-second micro-game action you could import the Japanese version, which will launch with the Wii on December 2. Needless to say, you'll need a Japanese Wii to play it on.

When the Eragon videogame releases next month it will feature the voices and likenesses of the stars from the upcoming movie on which it is based. Edward Speleers (who plays the title character Eragon), Sienna Guillory (Arya in Eragon, Jill Valentine in Resident Evil: Apocalypse), Garrett Hedlund (Murtagh in Eragon, Don Billingsley in Friday Night Lights), and Robert Carlyle (Durza in Eragon, Gaz in The Full Monty) will all be making the transition from film to binary code.
In the game, players will control Eragon and, atop his trusty dragon Saphira, ride into epic battles against an evil king's sinister forces. Eragon can overpower foes with some slick combos, utilize magic attacks, and can call in Brom or Murtagh at any point to give him a hand.
The Eragon videogame will ship November 14 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Game Boy Advance, PSP, Nintendo DS, mobile, and PC, followed by the feature film on December 15.

When Nintendo unveiled the Wii controller at the 2005 Tokyo Game Show, it hinted that the nunchaku-like analog stick attachment was just one of many possible add-ons for the remote. At the Electronic Entertainment Expo this year, Nintendo showed off one such attachment in its booth. Dubbed the Zapper, it appeared to be nothing more than a shell that would hold allow a user to hold the Wii controller and its analog stick attachment comfortably in a one-handed, gunlike configuration.
Nintendo isn't the only company playing the shell game. Ubisoft will include a steering wheel attachment for the Wii controller with two of its eight Wii launch titles: GT Pro Series and Monster 4x4 World Circuit. The wheel will be compatible with a number of Wii racing titles.
However, the publisher confirmed for GameSpot today that it will also sell the wheel separately, so gamers eager to hit the streets with expected launch titles Need for Speed Carbon or ExciteTruck might be able to make use of the add-on without picking up Ubi's racers. Both GT Pro Series and Monster 4x4 World Circuit will retail for $49.99, while the steering wheel attachments will also be sold separately for $19.99.

Featuring fishing, air hockey, shooting and Pose Mii mini-games
Looks like good, simple fun, doesn't it? The fishing, air hockey and shooting gaems are pretty self-explanatory. Pose Mii is an interesting game that has you twisting and pointing the Wii Remote to manipulate a Mii, positioning it to fit into the poses shown in the bubbles.
Wii Play, which is one of three first-party launch games, aims to get families playing the Wii with a selection of simple games like pool, pinball and the games pictured below.
For £39.99, Wii Play will come bundled with a Wii Remote, which costs £30 on its own anyway. So anyone planning on grabbing another Wii Remote for their new console can't go far wrong splashing out an extra tenner to get Wii Play too. It all makes sense.
