We're big fans of Star Wars here on CVG, despite the rather lame latter day Johnny-come-lately Episodes I-III. Anyway you may remember from way back when (okay E3, although it seems an eternity ago now) that we broke a rather tasty exclusive on the new Darth Vader/Star Wars next-gen game currently underway at LucasArts.
If you don't, you can check out the goods - including some rather gorgeous concept art and sinister Vader pics - elsewhere on the site. However, those lovely concept paintings aside, info on Vader's been locked down tighter than a drum, with little emerging on the title other than the info we gleaned at E3.
Until today that is, when that doyen of modern video watching (which we boldly predict will eventually make conventional telly obsolete) YouTube.com has come up with some spectacular pre-vis concept footage for the next-gen title. Our Rebellion spies tell us that this is the actual footage which was presented to George Lucas himself when LucasArts was pitching the game. So now you can see what George did, before presumably giving it a big thumbs up.
with Jedi scattering Stormtroopers to the winds, duffing up TIE fighters and generally giving a thorough exhibition of their force-ful powers. Okay it's probably a fair ol' way from the finished article, but certainly gives a reasonable indication of what next-gen Star Wars may look like.
More Star Wars next-gen goodies coming soon we hope. Our advice? Probably best to view it now before LucasArts has it hauled down.

Via Eurogamer
The creator of the DS music composer Electroplankton has come up with a new harebrained scheme that could be the best thing to happen to music since the stylophone.
Together with Yamaha, Toshio Iwai is developing the Tenori-On - which translates as "palmtop sound". It's a big square thingy, basically, containing a 16 by 16 grid of LED buttons. Each time you press a button, it'll light up and play a sound - and if you keep pressing it, the sound will repeat.
"I want to handle both light and sound simultaneously and pleasantly," Iwai states on the Tenori-On website. Don't we all.
"I have, in collaboration with Yamaha, been developing Tenori-On with particular attention being given to the beauty of the light and sounds, the ease of performance, and as a musical instrument for the future, the design and quality of the product as a whole."
Apparently Tenori-On is still in development, but it's in good enough shape for Iwai to use in his musical performances.

According to Nintendo, since its launch on November 24 2004, the DS has sold more than 21 million units. Apparently, that equates to 23 units per minute, or one-ish every two seconds.
Needless to say, Nintendo's pretty chuffed with itself, with NoA senior vice president George Harrison gushing, "We're thrilled to be announcing this milestone today, especially since Nintendo DS was North America's top-selling video game system of any type in June. We attribute this success to Nintendo's overall strategy of offering something for everyone - from five-year-olds caring for their Nintendogs to 65-year-olds tuning their mental agility with Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day."
With DS sales ballooning further, thanks to the recently released - and rather luscious - DS Lite, Nintendo has seen a revenue increase of 85 percent for the period of April to June this year, compared to the same timeframe in 2005. That, number crunchers, means a rise to 130.9 billion yen (1.1 billion USD), from 70.7 billion yen (605.9 million USD). Profits-wise, Nintendo has seen a Q1 increase of 10.2 percent from last year, with the figure rising from 14.1 billion yen (120.8 million USD) to 15.6 billion yen (133.6 million USD).
With Nintendo predicting its forthcoming Wii console will flog six million units between release and next March - alongside 17 million Wii games - things are looking rosy for the company right now. Reports that Satoru Iwata is going out for a curry with his mates to celebrate are currently unfounded.

Hi all,
As I promised, I would give a special treat to my WMB/WifiMe howto at the end of this month.
I wonder if anyone (that I didn't tell in advance) can guess what it is.
I've made 5 video's showing how to set up your system (starting from part4B, Booting VMplayer/Knoppix) for the Windows/Knoppix/No-Os installed/Everything that runs VMplayer part of my howto.
I hope you will all like this addition, and that it will help clear things for you.
Thus making it easier for you all to WMB/WifiMe with your Nintendo USB stick (or any other compatible rt2500usb/rt2570 device)!
Link: here.
Yours,
Scor
Special thanks go to ratx, who is mirroring the video's for me at this time!

Jimmy L Posted this news on his site:
Wow, It's been a while since I've done an update. As you may know, we won the ndshb WiFi Game Competition with our entry 'Explosive Gas' earlier this month. If you haven't seen it already, you can check it out here, and if you have, I've posted an update that fixes a couple of network issues and a client side crash bug.
I also fixed a bug in my ima2raw tool that melw, over on the gbadev forums, noticed. Files that were converted were coming out up to 1k larger than the originals. So if you're using this tool(which I doubt you are  ), go grab the update, your games will be slightly smaller.
Heres some info about the Explosive Gas Game
The game is fairly straightforward, be the last man standing(and not on fire) to get a point. The controls are simple as well, use the d-pad to move around, and hit any button to drop a bottle of hooch. When you start the game you can only drop one bottle and the flames from the explosion will only travel one square. Two powerups can be found in the old boxes and crates that are lying around, a can of gas, which will increase the range of your flames, and a two-four, which will allow you to drop more bottles at once.
In order to host a game, you'll need to have your router forward port 9999 to your ds. You can find the ip address of your ds on the wifi menu screen in the game. If you don't have port 9999 being forwarded to your ds, you can still host a LAN game, just be sure that the other ds's that try to join use the 'Join LAN game' option rather than the 'Join Game' option in the menus.

Starting Now at Game Stores in the UK, heres the details:
Q. What's this Nintendo 24 Hour Spectacular! business all about then?
A. Simple, it's a great deal, every hour, for 24 hours, where all deals will relate to Nintendo. The golden rule to bear in mind is when its gone, its gone.
Q. These offers end a bit quickly don't they? How do I take advantage?
A. If you're one of the of customers who completes checkout before either the stock or the time runs out then you'll have grabbed a great bargain! Remember that thousands of people are watching the event ready to jump on these offers - and not everyone is going to be able to do so.
Q. How do I buy a product from the promotion?
A. Hit the "Buy" button and follow the checkout process through as you normally would - if you haven't used it before, don't worry, it's easy to follow.
Q. One minute it said there were 50 units left, but the next thing I know they've all gone!?
A. The stock ticker updates as people buy items from the sale, but you need to hit "Refresh" on your browser in order to see the latest information.
Q. Can I buy more than one unit of an offer?
A. No, not of the same offer - it's limited to one per customer. The system just won't allow you to buy two or more of one product. However, you can, of course, take advantage of as many different offers as you want to. .

Heres what he said
Two out of three of the players have bet you don't need it. Nintendo has bet you don't even need HD for the next five years.
Nintendo's perspective has always been different. The platforms that are being built now are not just game consoles. You use it for all kinds of other kinds of applications. In the case of Nintendo, they wanted to build a game console. They built a wonderful game device. Their focus is games and enjoyment. They will be myopically focused on that. I think that is terrific. Their perspective is different from the other two. If I'm going to buy a next-generation game console, I'm going to want next-generation media.

news from gamesindustry
Nintendo has released its Q1 financial statement, showing continued strong sales for the DS handheld and its associated software - which have helped drive the company's profits up by ten per cent.
For the period ended June 30th, the company posted a net income of 15.6 billion Yen (105.9 million Euro), compared to 14.1 billion Yen (95.7 million Euro) for the previous year.
Net sales for the quarter reached 130.9 billion Yen (888.9 million Euro), up a massive 85 per cent on the 70.7 billion Yen for the same quarter a year earlier.
It's been suggested that the ongoing success of the DS and the recently introduced DS Lite have been responsible for growing the Japanese gaming market by 30 per cent - and the handheld has also performed well in the West.
After a positive US launch for the DS Lite, the company brought the redesigned handheld to Europe, shifting in excess of 200,000 units in the first ten days after launch.
As a result, Nintendo has significantly raised its full fiscal year forecast for the period ending March 31st, 2007. The company is projecting annual profits of 83 billion Yen (563.3 million Euro), compared to its earlier forecast of 65 billion Yen (441 million Euro).
Net sales are predicted to reach 640 billion Yen (4.4 billion Euro), up 40 billion Yen on earlier estimates from the firm.
Nintendo is committed to expanding the reach of the gaming market with the introduction of its novel gameplay ideas and controller innovations such as the touch-screen device, and looks set to further expand its reach with the forthcoming release of its low-cost, high innovation games console, the Nintendo Wii.

Nintendo announced today that sales of its hand-held, dual-screened video game player, the Nintendo DS, have topped 20 million worldwide (guesstimates say 21,270,000). Nintendo expects DS (Lite) sales to be 17 million between April 2006 and March 2007. From today's financial report: "The company raised its full-year sales forecast of the DS handheld game players to 17 million units for the year ending March 2007, up from 16 million unit sales projection made in May. Sales of DS game titles are projected to rise to 75 million units, from 70 million." The report references PSP owners as just combat-game fans, while the DS is said to target a wider audience with more diverse games such as the 6 million seller Nintendogs

Star Wars. Or how to kill nostalgia dead in three easy steps. Still, without dwelling on that particular bitter pill too much, fans of George Lucas' opus (hello? are you still there?) should be thrilled to hear that LucasArts has dropped a few more hints suggesting that a (much-rumoured) lightsaber game might well be on its way to Nintendo's Wii after all.
Speaking at Comic-Con in San Diego and reported on IGN, LucasArts' rep Steve Sansweet confirmed that the company has plans to bring games to all-three next-gen platforms, including the Wii, in response to a question posed by a member of the audience.
More intriguingly though, Sansweet referenced the fact that (as has already been noted the internet over) Nintendo's motion-sensoring Wiimote bears an uncanny resemblance to Star Wars' iconic lightsaber. Whether this means every budding Jedi will finally get the game of their dreams is anyone's guess - but with such comparisons coming straight out the gob of an official LucasArts rep, it's looking increasingly likely.
