Trauma Center: Under The Knife, Nintendo's handheld surgeon simulator, will be released in the UK in March, it was announced today.
As this preview will tell you, Trauma Center is a brilliantly inventive game - and one that, until now, was given no confirmed UK release date.
To keep your operation-interest pulsing, check out our new screenshots on the right, taken from the US version of the game.

Yesterday, Nintendo DS fans jumped for joy as the company launched its new Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, allowing gamers to play Mario Kart DS and Tony Hawk's American SK8Land against others across the Internet. Unfortunately, the launch did not go without a hitch.
On the Nintendowifi.com Web site, the service's status is described as "Global Wi-Fi Service is experiencing intermittent problems." Digging further into the site, the problems apparently are related to Mario Kart DS as Nintendo has pegged the game as experiencing online difficulties and Tony Hawk as problem-free.
The reasoning and extent of the problems aren't detailed, but the Web site offers one solution:
"Our experience has shown that the majority of problems with wireless multiplayer gaming are caused by signal interference from other devices (wireless LAN, microwave ovens, cordless devices, computers). We recommend moving to another location or turn off the interfering devices."

Ever since Nintendo insisted that Acclaim "sanitize" Mortal Kombat for the Super Nintendo, the company has had an image as a family-friendly gaming company, despite occasional evidence to the contrary (Conker's Bad Fur Day, the temporary GameCube exclusive Resident Evil 4, the blood-rich Super Nintendo Mortal Kombat II).
While the company's upcoming Revolution console is certain to change a few things at The Big N, don't expect that family-friendly tag to be one of them. Nintendo today announced that the Revolution will institute a play-control system not unlike that of modern V-Chip-equipped TVs.
The password-protected system will let parents set which rating categories are acceptable for their children, and prevent the system from running any software outside the approved range. The system is based on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board's industry standard ratings, and each game's rating will be encoded on each Revolution disc. Nintendo says the system will be instituted on every Revolution console worldwide, presumably utilizing the local ratings system of each region.
"Even though many Nintendo games are rated E, E10+, or T, we believe this kind of feature should be included in the hardware. It's the right thing to do," said Nintendo of America executive vice president of sales and marketing Reggie Fils-Aime. "Game ratings are on the front and back of every game package, so families can easily make a decision about whether a game is right for them."
The Xbox and Xbox 360 already incorporate such controls for games and DVDs, and the PlayStation 2 lets parents control access to DVDs.

It's a two-pronged, hedgehog-helmed assault on stores today as Sega has announced the release of Sonic Rush on the Nintendo DS and Shadow the Hedgehog on the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox.
Sonic Rush, starring the original sneaker-sporting speedster, is sharply reminiscent of the side-scrolling action of Sonic games past, but it also makes use of the DS's unique hardware.
"Sonic Rush combines the gameplay finesse and level design of the classic 2D Sonic titles with fully 3D character models, bosses, and effects," said Sega of America vice president of marketing Scott A. Steinberg. "The dual screen playfield on the Nintendo DS makes it easier than ever to follow the action, and the stylus works perfectly with the traditional chaos emerald minigames."
When word spreads of a powerful collection of stones called sol emeralds, Sonic teams up with newcomer Blaze the Cat in order to secure the emeralds and prevent them from being used for evil. Sonic and Blaze take divergent paths through the game, which gives players different storylines to follow. Sega also included a two-player battle mode and unlockable secrets.
Over on the home consoles, Sonic's enigmatic counterpart Shadow the Hedgehog gets not only a game of his own, but gats as well. For the first time in a game set in the Sonic universe, players will be able to wield an array of weapons and choose whether to fight for good or evil.
An alien force is attacking the planet, and Shadow is on the hunt for the chaos emeralds that will bring the conflict to an end one way or another. It's up to players to decide which side Shadow will help as he bounces and blasts his way through a branching story mode with competitive two-player action and cameos from several Sonic mainstays.

Source: Reports on Spanish and German gaming sites claim to have received confirmation that Ubisoft is working on a first-person shooter for the Revolution.
The official story: "It's Ubisoft's policy to not comment on rumors." - Ubisoft spokesperson
What we heard: Upon hastily throwing these sites into the Google translation tool, we were beyond thrilled to read about Ubisoft's new project and "the juiceable scope it concerns." Ok, so the translation's not perfect, but the basics come through loud and clear: Ubi's working on a first-person shooter using the Nintendo Revolution controller, and the company has its talented Montreal studio (Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell series) working on the project.
Those with fingers crossed hoping that this one turns out to be not bogus have some reason to be hopeful. With its pointerlike functionality, the Revolution controller seems tailor-made for an FPS, and Ubisoft has shown Nintendo's current-gen GameCube console more FPS support than almost any other publisher with its Rainbow Six games.
On the other hand, the Spanish-language site (with the more-detailed of the two reports) says production on the game has been entrusted to "Ubisoft Canada." That would be problematic, as Ubisoft Canada doesn't actually make games. Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Quebec are the company's two development studios north of the border. Ubisoft Canada doesn't even oversee the two studios; it merely handles the local publishing, distribution, marketing, and other such concerns for the French publisher. Then again, such details could easily have been lost in translation.
As you might expect, Ubi's keeping mum on the subject. But given that the Rev's controller practically begs to be incorporated into an FPS, it seems entirely likely that Ubisoft (and numerous other companies) has Revolutionary designs for the genre in the works.
Bogus or not bogus?: The specifics of this particular rumor may be bogus (especially the bit about the juiceable scope), but there's no reason to be bummed, because a bevy of Revolution FPS games is almost certainly not bogus.

You knew this was going to be a big one, and it’s getting big scores to match the hype. Rehash? Maybe. Fun? See what the critics are saying:
IGN: 9.5/10 ”Mario Kart DS’s production value is almost staggering. The development team worked an unbelievable amount of focus in nearly every aspect of this racing design, pushing a huge amount of effort in both the single player experience as well as the multiplayer competition.”
GameSpot: 9.2/10 “The online play is undoubtedly the icing on an especially yummy cake.”
1UP: 9/10 ”Once you find a working connection, once you accept the fact that online matches are limited to four people.. once you get playing…all complaints drift away.”
Yahoo! Games: 4.5/5 ”Multiplayer Mario Kart is, in a nutshell, an absolute blast. If you want to see a room full of grown men and women revert into hyperactive, obscenity-laden teenagers, just put the game in their hands and let them go at it.”
Gamerz Edge: 9.6/10 “If I could award Mario Kart DS an eleven on Fun Factor, I absolutely would. This game is simply the most fun I have had in years as a gamer.”
GameRankings composite: 93%. Pretty freakin’ good.

Nintendo delivered a one-two combo to its handheld faithful today by launching one of the DS's most anticipated features with one of its most anticipated games. Now, DS owners can compete against others over the Internet in Mario Kart DS using the freshly enabled Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Previously, multiplayer competition was limited to the handheld's local Wi-Fi capabilities, meaning that gamers who wanted to duke it out against others needed to be within a specified physical proximity of one another. With the new free-of-charge Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, DS owners can challenge others across the globe using a wireless Internet connection that supports Nintendo's service.
"Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection removes the barriers that have prevented many mainstream players from going online," says Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales & marketing. "We have made the service incredibly simple to use and free at select hotspot locations--but this is just the beginning."
Those select locations Fils-Aime refers to include almost 6,000 McDonald's restaurants across the country. Gamers can also do some online racing from home with their wireless Internet connections, or they can use a hardwired high-speed connection, a PC, and the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector, which is available for purchase online at Nintendo.com for $34.99. More information on the service is available at Nintendowifi.com.
The release of Mario Kart DS marks the debut of the series on the DS. Racers can speed along more than 30 tracks, including several that will be recognizable from other Mario Kart games. Once again, Nintendo's portly plumber leads the roster of playable characters as they aim for the checkered flag, dropping banana peels and launching Koopa Troopa shells at the competition.
Online support for the game will let up to four players across the globe challenge one another. By exchanging friend codes, players can easily search for buddies online. In local area wireless action, up to eight players can join a multiplayer session using just one copy of the game.

The Nintendo DS edition of Viewtiful Joe features a brand new storyline introducing Joe's sister Jasmine and puts players to the task in saving Captain Blue's Hollywood show after a sinister group steals it away. The Nintendo DS' hardware will be put to use as the development team is bringing to life the familiar cel-shaded environment the series is known for. The two screens will keep track of the action in two viewpoints and the touch panel is used to solve puzzles and pull off special moves. A new "Power Split" move debuts here, which requires that you draw lines across the screen.

In Viewtiful Joe VFX Battle, production on the newest Captain Blue movie is just about to begin. Unfortunately he can't seem to decide on the lead character. Now it's up to gamers to be the star of the show and 'audition' to see who will take the leading role in this big action extravaganza. An all-star cast of new and familiar playable characters will be available in this intense versus-fighting game including Captain Blue Junior, Sprocket and other original characters from the popular Japanese TV animated cartoon series. With completely new movie set designs and two player cooperative gameplay, there is an exuberant amount of action that extends beyond the silver screen.

Hey all,
I am considering asking for a DS or a PSP for Christmas. Personally I know I'll end up with a DS at some point, once that new Super Mario side scroller comes out, I'll be all over it. But right now I'd really like a hand held that can play NES and/or SNES games.
I know the PSP can do it(it can also run Linux, which I wouldn't mind playing with) however I have heard much less about the DS. Does it have any old school console emulators? And I remember hearing about a DS Linux effort. How far along is that?
Also, how does one get the homebrew stuff onto the DS? Do you need to buy cartridges or is there abuilt in hard drive or is it memory cards?
Thanks,
Chryzmo

This is my first project for the Nintendo DS.
It is the famous Simon game and it makes use of the touch screen
The game logic is so simple. It generates a random sequence along the 4 lights, making a different sound on each one, and the player must repeat the same sequence.
Game features:
Save your records: play with friends and try to win them!
Great graphics based on the original Simon game.
Classic Simon sounds.
Uses the touch screen. It’s designed to play with your fingers, so you will not need the stylus to play.
Great effects like zoom and rotations.

I'm a little confused about the whole bricking thing. I just got an M3 Adapter, so I guess I need to learn what its all about. But for now, I have a question about Mario Kart DS.
I saw on here and other sites that it bricks DS systems with FlashMe. As I said, I picked up and M3 Adapter.. did that change my firmware? If I bought or downloaded Mario Kart 64 DS, can I safely play it, or will it brick my system?
