In the world of underdogs, few are getting as little as respect as Nintendo's upcoming console, code-named Revolution. An overwhelming majority of industry analysts have stated that the favorite to win the next-gen console battle will be the PlayStation 3, with the remaining experts saying that Microsoft's Xbox 360 will take advantage of its head start to market, making it tough to beat.
However, Thomas Runte, a self-proclaimed analyst who frequents message boards under the handle "Miyamoto_Mojo", thinks differently.
"We expect Nintendo's Revolution, based on its price and immense catalog of downloadable games, to be the market leader by 2010," Runte told GameSpot News. "Nintendo is going to be one heck of a competitor for the gaming pie, and from the looks of it, I think they are going to get a rather huge slice."
Runte sees the ongoing concern over prices of consoles and games as the major factor in his analysis. The Revolution is almost guaranteed to be the cheapest console when its hits the market, with some projections going as low as $199 for the system.
"Sony and Microsoft will have game development costs much higher than that of the Revolution. The higher costs to develop for [the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360] will be passed on to consumers. This isn't the case with Nintendo's Revolution," said Runte. "I wouldn't be surprised if its games, first- and third-party, were $39, or even cheaper. If you had the choice to pay $40 or $60 for a game, which would you choose? Nintendo is rocking the game industry. They've got the right idea. Soon their superior strategy will pull them ahead."
Innovation is also a key selling point for the console says Runte. The console's controller, which is shaped like a TV remote, uses motion-sensors to effectively simulate swinging a sword, casting a fishing line, or shooting a gun.
"I've heard about the controller and some of the projects that Nintendo is working on. It's really very impressive and should tap heavily into the non-gaming market. The possibilities [with the controller] are almost limitless, and I heard from a source that there are already early builds of the Revolution's handwriting-recognition technology. Gamers will eventually use the controller to 'write' answers, allowing Nintendo to bring its popular Brain Training games to the Rev. That'll definitely move systems in Japan. [Nintendo president Satoru] Iwata is a genius--pure and simple."
Runte also thinks that timing favors Nintendo. The Revolution will be able to play games from Nintendo's older consoles, the Sega Genesis, and Hudson's Turbo Grafx 16.
"Remember, today's gamers grew up playing Mario Bros. and Zelda, some of the best games of all time. They're out there now as the industry's main consumers. The ability to play thousands of games, all priced in the five-dollar range, without leaving the house is very attractive. Gamers don't want to buy a PS3. They prefer a good system with nostalgia over a system with prettier graphics. Games are meant to be one thing--fun."
Runte says it's not only that Nintendo has "superior strategy" and is "totally awesome," it's Nintendo's rivals' weaknesses that give the Revolution the advantage. He dismisses the competition as a non-factor, and had particularly harsh words for Sony.
"Sony has yet to come out of the pit stop after the first lap. Folks, when this race started naysayers said Nintendo would not have enough under the engine to compete with Microsoft and Sony. Trying to one up Nintendo like they did with them wanting to make a Revolution-style controller after it was revealed and 'oooohed' and 'aaaahed' over... Sony won't let anyone else have time in the light. Down with Sony. I am going to take a bat to my PS2. Nintendo is back in a big way, I think Nintendo will own them all. I believe they are on the path to domination once again. I think they finally are giving people what they want, and continuing to give them things they never thought of."
Runte wasn't done touting Nintendo's future after the phone conversation with GameSpot News. In a follow-up e-mail, he wrote "OMG!!! Zelda on teh DS roolz!!!11!1!!1!1 Chrono Trigger downloadable?  Nintendo >>>>> M$ and Sony. They don't stand a chance! W00t!"
One pro-Sony analyst, who wished only to be known as "Devil_Dante420," responded to Runte's comments. He told GameSpot News, "Whatever. Runte is such a noob. The PS3's graphics are far superior to the Revolution games. Gamers are getting older, they want a machine that caters to an older, mature audience. Zelda is like totally ghey. Final Fantasy, now that's a series that can carry a console."
Steve "4Runner" Downes, another self-proclaimed "analyst," is still sticking with his original projection that the Xbox 360 will dominate the next generation. "The Xbox 360 is just better than the lame PS3 and Revolution. I don't care that they're not even out yet, the 360 is just better. Just watch noobz, the world will stop when Halo 3 is released. [Sony and Nintendo] should just give up now."

It's late on Friday afternoon. Is it time to stop work? Heck no, it's breaking news time!
Hidden away at the bottom of Eidos' financial results was the revelation that Tomb Raider: Legend is going to be released on DS and GBA.
It's pretty surprising, because Eidos doesn't have much of a reputation for releasing games on Nintendo's handhelds (LEGO Star Wars is the only one we can think of). But that demonstrates how determined Eidos is to make the game a big success; Tomb Raider: Legend is also being released on PSP (see our preview) as well as five other console platforms.
No other information was announced, such as how the game design – which in the previously announced versions sees Lara going back to basics, leaping around large cavernous environments and finding strange artifacts – will be modified to deal with the specific features of DS and GBA. Nor did Eidos say who was developing the game. Considering its lack of handheld experience, we hope it has called upon one of the many specialist studios to get the job done right.
The only other news was the release date. While the PSP version will be out in May, DS and GBA owners will have to wait until the summer to get their hands on Lara's new adventure.

A quick glance at the New Super Mario Bros. mini-site will show the game has been pushed back yet again. Considering the recent delay the game has received, can we be expected to trust this date? Should we assume there to be another delay on the horizon? We'll just have to salivate over all these screenshots and fantasize of traversing the game's 80 levels just all that much longer.

1up editor Luke Smith recently posted about some tastey morsels that'll be running in the May issue of Electronics Gaming Monthly. Of these morsels, the tastiest to DS Fanboy readers (and Bloggers) is a rumor that the DS could be seeing an adaptation of the beloved SNES title Mario Paint.
Considering how accessible the DS is to people who aren't hardcore gamers and the recent success Brain Training has enjoyed on the handheld, the idea of a Mario Paint game hitting the DS is a great idea. Using the stylus to swat flies would be too much fun!

Source Joystiq:
Though the DS leads the PSP by more than 3.2 million units in Japanese market share, the stateside race is a bit closer. By the end of 2005, Nintendo announced it had sold 3.97 million units compared to Sony's "more than 4 million" sold (not shipped) by mid February. I suck with numbers, but me thinks the DS sold well the first month and a half of 2006 and has only continued to do well up to this date with the release of several anticipated games. Keep in mind that UMD's have been selling poorly, so Sony might have a hard time continuing to play the "multi-device" card.
IGN writes: "Whether or not the imminent U.S. release of the 'brain-training' games will capture the dads-and-grandmas market that Nintendo so deftly wooed in Japan is anyone's guess. For now, the Stateside PSP vs. DS fight is shaping up like the Super Nintendo versus Genesis battles of yore -- a tough fight to the finish. And just as long as Sony doesn't debut a 32X add-on, it's likely to stay that way."
Would you liken the DS and PSP US market share to the SNES and Genesis of the early 90's?

The Revolution will have a global worldwide launch or not, maybe it will, on the other hand perhaps it won't. Hmm, well it seems like everyone's been barking up the wrong tree about what Nintendo president Saturo Iwata may or indeed may not have recently said about Nintendo's global launch plan for the big N's next-gen console.
Anyway, a Nintendo spokesperson has attempted to shine light into the darkness by talking to trade mag MCV in an effort to clarify Iwata's recent comments about the possibility of a global launch. While many took Iwata's recent word to mean a mult-territory global launch wasn't on the cards, now apparently it could be.
"The comments have been taken out of context," the unnamed Nintendo spokesperson told MCV. "What he's actually saying is that we're not holding a worldwide launch just because everyone else is doing one too. It's just another re-iteration of the fact that we're not looking at what Sony or Microsoft are doing."
"Unfortunately, it seems everyone's jumped on it and got the wrong idea."
So Nintendo could go for a global launch after all, although the spokesperson didn't attempt to shed any further light, ruling nothing out, but of course also ruling nothing in. It seems we'll have to wait for Nintendo's E3 presentation to provide final answers, but the big N has consistently gone for the third way and there's no reason why its launch plans should be any different.

New and in stock at Mr Modchips (UK)
Heres the info:
The MagicKey 3 (MK3) by NeoFlash Team s a development tool for Nintendo DS (and GBA/SP). Instead of relying on cartridges like the Neo Flash 512, it uses the memory from an SD or MMC card that you plug in through the MK3 adapter. Because of the cheap price of SD and MMC memory, and the large capacity available (up 32GB!) the possibilities are endless!
The MK3 is like a passme device. It also has the sd/mmc slot on it. It also has an internal flash for running roms directly from the unit. It's also possible to run roms (homebrew and commercial) from from sd or mmc memory or from a separate flashcart.
With Mk3 2005 kit there's no more need of a additinal GBA flashcart to play games and run software (unlike the MK1/2/3 from 2005).
The NEO-KEY is not for storing roms, only for storing menu software. The menu software is for browsing and running roms from the sd,mmc,mk3,or flashcart. Using Neo-Key you don't have to use another flash cart as you had to do with older MK1/2/3 (2005).
Note: The Neo-Key can also be used with those older MK 1/2/3!
MK3 2006 has built-in 16M menu flash + 2M buffer (not for saves) and can upgrade the booting code through the MK2/3 menu software (On-The-Fly upgrade function avalible soon in menu software v0.7). The new USB Slim Loader IV suports updateing the Neo-Key menu.
Features
* First built-in inner High-Speed 8K cache system
* First built-in changable battery system for NEO cart
* First built-in battery voltage indicate system
* First built-in SD/MMC A.I. power protection system
* Built-in mobile Li-Ion cell battery, no need to maintain, auto rechargable
* Built-in PDA style GBA/NDS menu, can use NDS touch screen for total control
* Built-in 2M REAL hardware save system, simulates 100% of the EEPROM/Flash chip
* Built-in SMS2 system, can edit and backup/restore the game save file to SD/MMC
* Built-in 16M Menu Flash, can use GBA cart or SD/MMC to upgrade the new MK core
* Built-in 64M super buffer area, can run very complex APP software
* Built-in NeoFAT system, support multi-files, can load file from SD/MMC directly
* Built-in power save function, the idle module will auto enter sleep mode
Whats In The Box
MK3 2006 Kit (512M) x 1
NEO-KEY Booting Cart x 1
SD Card 1Gb (128mb) x 1
SD/MMC USB 2.0 Pen x 1
Driver CD x 1
All that for 65 Pounds from Mr Modchips

The DS has been in the Commercial arena the better out of the two main consoles, but with the recent Neo Flash Comp and the many releases from that and happening all the time plus the fact it can play GBA Homebrew, has it now took over from the PSP and the GP2X as the king of Homebrew, sure its a little harder to understand which flasht cart to buy but in the long run with the Touch screen is it the winner, answer via the comments
