As much as we love playing games, sometimes we can't help but wonder if there's something more constructive we could be doing with our time instead of staring wide-eyed into the phospherous glow of the nearest screen.
Thankfully, Nintendo's come up with a cunning solution to this age old dilemma by creating Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain?, a game that successfully manages to combine the fundamental elements of fun while being equally productive by exercising your brain for optimum efficiency.
You'll have no doubt heard of Nintendo's Brain Training series by now, thanks to its huge popularity in Japan - most intriguingly the game's been a massive hit with the elderly, presumably desperate to ward off impending senility. While the franchise has reached part two over there, Nintendo's poised to bring the original game to Europe on May 19 - with the more family-focused Brain Academy arriving a little later.
Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? is set to hit UK shelves at the bargain price of 20 GBP

It looks like the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is jumping on the 12-step plan. The ESA sent out a press release this morning officially launching the Video Game Voters Network, a website devoted to promoting the self-regulation of the games industry. The site serves to keep track of all the anti-game legislation currently under consideration, including the Family Entertainment Protection Act, sponsored by usual suspects Hillary Clinton and Joseph Lieberman.
Also found on the site are "Top Ten Facts About Gamers," which attempts to dispel common misconceptions about gamers, and independent research which shows that video games are not turning our youth into aggressive killing machines. You can also view a collection of choice quotes supporting the industry. The Video Game Voters Network provides contact information for US and State Senators, forms that you can use to "spread the word," and even a voter registration form.
The website is politics at its worst (top banner features US citizens of all ages, genders, and ethnic backgrounds smiling in front of an American flag), but it is about time the games industry started to the play the game and defend itself. With voter turnout as low (and apathy as high) as it is, even a few more registered voters could make a difference.

Nintendo's newly released DS Lite, or 'diet DS' as it's occasionally termed (Laugh? Our sides almost split), topped the console chart in Japan last week with 68,438 sales - according to figures appearing on Media-Create.
No doubt jumping up and down in excitement like a very happy pogo-stick which has just won the lottery, Nintendo saw its original fatter DS performing well, as it came in second with a total of 48,119 sales.
Nintendo's nearest competitor in the handheld market, the PSP, was left staring longingly at DS's backside in third position with 43,100 sales. Sony's PS2 secured fourth place on the console chart, according to Media Create, with sales of 25,778 units; and then there was a significant drop to 5,493 sales with fifth position - which went to GBA SP.
Looking further down the figures, more titter-worthy news came in the form that in the 'big' console world, while the PS2 won hands down, Nintendo's GameCube managed to outsell Microsoft's Xbox 360. 1,489 units of the former console were shifted in Japan last week compared to 1,240 of the latter say Media Create's figures. Only 101 original Xbox's flew off the shelves, while last place in the top 10 went to the original GBA, which managed a mere 98 sales.
Just in case you were wondering, Game Boy Micro squeezed into sixth place with 3,213 sales.

Moonshell Update
"There was an extremely serious fatal bug in MoonShell.
Accurate file size was not able to be acquired in the fopen/ftell.
This influences all plug-ins. Please update this.

Multitouch Demo Update
Dynastab has updated his multi touch demo once again. This demo is based off of Nintendo's recent patent (or so i hear). Should now track toggling order of presses and releases. Meaning you can alternate which finger touches and which one releases with no big problems. Still slightly glitchy, but whatever. If you want to see the source, ask me on IRC. Improved display code a little. Easier to see the irregularities now.

Multitouch
This little demo demonstrates detecting multiple touches on the touch pad...not exactly perfect yet but still kinda neet. Scrapped PA_Lib and moved to libnds, as I couldn't figure out how to draw to the frame buffer with it. Thanks to Dovoto for the excellent line drawing VRAM routine.

Wifi update
As you probably already know, UDP is working nicely at present, however now the DNS and TCP implementations are also complete (though there are a few bugs I’m trying to work out at this point) - I’m going to attempt to get a new test app out later tonight once those bugs are fixed, and then work on DHCP.

Following from the earlier news today regarding Metroid Prime Hunters and the DS’s new, free voice-chat feature, SPOnG is also glad to report that it looks very likely that European gamers will be able to get their hands on a white, ice blue or enamel navy DS Lite very soon.
Speaking to a Nintendo rep this morning about the expected European release date for the DS Lite PSP-spoiler, SPOnG was told, "We hope it will be here by the summer". Don’t just ‘hope’, Nintendo. Make it so!
This means that you will soon be playing Metroid Prime Hunters and New Super Mario Bros. (new screens of which are right here) on a brand spanking, sparkly and new DS Lite in almost no time at all.
This news follows shortly after reports of higher than expected turnouts at the weekend’s launch of the Ice Blue and Enamel Navy models in Japan. According to most reports, the DS Lite’s second launch drew even more crowds of eager gamers than the first, the week before.
It is highly likely that the turnout was partly due to the fact that the Crystal White DS Lite was released on a Thursday last week, whereas this launch was on a Saturday - so more people were off work and able to hang out in Akihabara to pick up their new handheld. Gamespot also reported that many of those in line from the very early hours “...came armed with portable chairs, instant noodles, and even sleeping bags to catch the occasional nap.”
Also, as we reported last week, Shigeru Miyamoto was given the French honour of a 'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres' along with two other leading games designers, Michel Ancel (Rayman) and Frédérick Raynal (Alone in the Dark). The award recognises the contributions to French arts and culture and is part of the French chivalry system.

Nintendo UK has just this morning announced some great news for all European DS gamers. Samus, gaming’s toughest heroine, is back in Metroid Prime Hunters which will launch across Europe on May 5, 2006, including free wireless voicechat technology to enable you to talk to friends anywhere in the world.
Yes, that’s right, you will be able to actually speak with up to three of your mates who you play online before and after battles, using your Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and microphone. This will effectively be like having a four-way mobile phone conversation with friends anywhere in the world for free. Awesome!.
Speaking to a Nintendo UK rep earlier today, we were told a few more details about this highly anticipated game and this groundbreaking new DS service.
Metroid Prime Hunters, if you don’t already know, was one of the most interesting and talked-about game demo that shipped with the original DS, and Nintendo fans have been waiting for the full, final game in all its glory since from the first day they realised the possibilities the game presented for touch-screen controls on a handheld fps.
Plus, as well as the much-vaunted touch-screen controls, Metroid Prime Hunters also features Wi-Fi game play (with up to seven others), a fully-fledged single player 3D first-person shooter mode as well as an extensive online multiplayer first person shooter mode (with up to three other mates), and the aforementioned VOIP features, of which we will come to shortly.
If you want more details on the game you can check out SPOnG’s recent coverage right here. Suffice to say it’s Metroid Prime and it’s the first online multiplayer first-person shooter to grace a handheld system. It is, in other words, an essential purchase. With this and New Super Mario Bros. both out in time for E3, it's already a good bet as to what handheld games are going to be the real talk of the show this year.
Players can compete locally with friends using the Nintendo DS wireless link, with the option of Single-Card Play – which means that you can enter battle in a selection of arenas with three friends, using only one cartridge. Or if all players have copies of the game, they can engage in one of the game’s seven multiplayer modes in Multi-Card Play with a selection of seven characters and 10 arenas to choose from.
Players can also battle friends, rivals and other people across the globe thanks to the unparalleled success which is the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, using their home broadband connection or one of Nintendo’s public Wi-Fi hotspots. Players can select Find Game to play against opponents from across the globe, chosen by their skill level or battle friends from the list saved on their Nintendo DS in Friends and Rivals mode.
And, as mentioned before, you can now for the first time ever talk to up to three of your friends who you are playing the game online with. For free. Wherever they are in the world.
Now, before we get too excited and carried away by this idea, lets just add in a few caveats, as the marketing people like to say. You can only talk to people whose friend codes you know, which means you cannot use the service to meet new friends and talk to them as if you were in a portable Internet chatroom. This is is a good and safe thing all around, so please, any tabloid news hacks looking to stir up a controversial story about kids being groomed by potential paedophiles or any other such nonsense, just understand that this is NOT a possibility!
You can also only talk to your friends online using the voice-chat feature in the set up area of Metroid Prime Hunters and in the final scores area of the game. There is also - crucially - a time limit set on the voice-chat feature, so you will not be able to use your DS as a free mobile phone to contact your mates all over the world. No! Denied!
Seriously, this makes sense, otherwise, as one commentator mentioned earlier, it would detract from the Nintendo DS being viewed as a game console, and instead people would start to use it as a voice communication device, which is not what Nintendo want. Nor, importantly, does SPOnG think it is what Nokia, T-Mobile, O2 or any of the other major mobile phone network operators and manufacturers want!
We will have a more detailed update on exactly how long the voice-chat time limit is from Nintendo very shortly. We will also have more technical details on how the feature works. What, for example, happens if more than one person speaks at once? This and other questions will be answered by our Nintendo guys ‘after the jump’ as they say. Whatever the hell that actually means.
For those who don’t want to use the voice-chat feature in the game, there is also a text-chat feature. So if, for example, you are sitting on a bus or are in a public space and you don’t like shouting loudly into your DS (i.e. if you have respect for your fellow human beings); if you are in bed with your girlfriend enjoying a post-coital game of Metroid Prime Hunters with your mates as she snores contentedly beside you (which, actually, would be a bit weird if you think about it); or if you are hiding at work playing Metroid Prime Hunters on the toilet and you don’t want your colleagues to hear you, then never fear, the text-chat feature means you can play in hushed silence with your headphones on should you so wish.
More Metroid Prime Hunters and DS as 'free global mobile phone news' as soon as we get it.

If we were feeling lazy, we could run these New Super Mario Bros. screens without any text at all; each nostalgia-laden screenshot is worth a thousand words to the seasoned Nintendo gamer.
Mario's platforming renaissance on the DS sees the return of many much-loved Mario locals, plus an assortment of crazy power-ups, such as a wearable Koopa shells or mushrooms that turn Mario into a hulking giant. The game also promises to feature branching levels which will ensure a truck-load of replay value, music to the ears of die-hard Nintendo stalwarts.
New Super Mario Bros. is penned in for a US release in May, but has yet to plumb in a European release date.
