Nintendo has confirmed that a new backlit version of the Game Boy Advance SP handheld is coming to Europe.
New Graphite and Pearl Blue versions of the handheld, complete with backlit screens, were released in the US on September 19, and a Nintendo spokesperson informed this site that: "All GBA SPs manufactured in the future will feature backlights, which makes for a brighter, clearer image.
"The SP's screen is now comparable to that of the GB Micro in terms of clarity and sharpness," he explained.
Earlier SPs are lit from the front and sides, but "Now the technology has come down in price enough for backlights to be affordable," according to Nintendo. The new handhelds will retail at GBP 69, the same price for current models.
Nintendo is planning to roll out the new SPs all over the world, but as yet there has been no official announcement as to when the first machines will arrive in Europe.

Nintendo has announced plans to celebrate the launch of pet sim Nintendogs by reducing the price of the Nintendo DS handheld from GBP 99 to GBP 89.
New bundles will also be offered for GBP 99 - consumers will be able to choose from a pink DS with Nintendogs Dachsund or a blue DS with Nintendogs Labrador.
Nintendo will no doubt be hoping that the game's European release will give the DS a boost in the war against Sony's PSP, as it's already done in Japan and the US. More than 250,000 copies of Nintendogs were sold in the States in the first week after launch.

While the UK game charts are almost entirely ruled by Electronic Arts, it's a very different story over in Japan.
The top 10 all formats chart consists almost entirely of Nintendo hardware, with only the first and fifth positions taken by Sony's PS2 and PSP respectively. The remainder of the chart is for software sales on Nintendo's DS and GBA handhelds. Microsoft's Xbox system, which has struggled to find a customer base in Japan, doesn't feature at all in this week's top 10.
Of the game releases, five out of ten are Nintendo first party games, giving the manufacturer and publisher an overwhelming grip on the software sales in Japan. Bandai, who recently merged with Namco, holds third position in the charts with its Tamagotchi Connection on DS, while Banpresto is in fifth with GBA title Super Robot Wars 3. Capcom is the only other third party publisher, entering at number six with DS game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
Dynasty Warriors developer Koei holds first place in the charts this week with the fifth iteration of its popular feudal war series on PS2. Soccer fans have placed Konami's World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 in fourth place on PSP, and the remainder is split between Nintendo's own GBA and DS titles: Famicom Mini Super Mario Brothers, Dr. Mario and the Puzzle League, DS Training For Adults: Work Your Brain, Mario Tennis Advance and Gentle Brain Exercises.
Nintendo's popularity has increased dramatically following the recent Tokyo Games Show, where the surprise innovation of the company's new Revolution console controller was revealed. The controller, and Nintendo's attempts to continually re-invent and innovate within the industry has led to widespread praise from industry leaders including Sony and Microsoft.

Think of it as Game Boy Nano. The newest handheld from Nintendo, the Game Boy Micro, has shipped to North American stores, according to the company. At an E3 filled with next-gen news, the Micro took center stage at Nintendo's press conference this year.
The 4-inch wide, 2-inch long portable plays standard Game Boy Advance cartridges and has interchangeable faceplates. The Micro comes in two colors, silver and black. Each version comes packaged with three faceplates that vary from solid colors to vibrant patterns.
Though a press release has announced that the Micro has shipped, retailers have said otherwise. A clerk at a Bay Area EB Games store said the handheld would arrive next week. "We get the silver on the 26th and the black on the 27th," he told GameSpot.
Apparently, it may not be an isolated case. With regard to when gamers can expect to get their paws on the tiny machine, "every store sets its own in-store date," said one Nintendo rep.
While it's difficult to tell if the Micro is selling well in America, it's clear as day in Japan. According to the latest figures by Dengeki Online, the handheld sold 148,000 units in the week of September 12, accounting for approximately 55 percent of hardware shipments. Its launch numbers have surpassed those of the Game Boy Advance SP's, which sold 110,000 units on its first week when it was released in February of 2003.
The system's success may be more because of its attraction as a collectible rather than its function. The unit was released in five models in Japan, with the retro Famicom-themed Micro accounting for almost 40 percent of overall sales, according to Dengeki. Other reports attribute as much as 60 percent of Micros sold in the country were the Famicom version.
According to retailers, the release of the Game Boy Micro is also recovering sales of Game Boy Advance games, especially those targeted toward older audiences, such as Earthbound 1 + 2 and Game Boy Wars Advance 1 + 2. While industry watchers are questioning whether the Game Boy Micro will continue to sell steadily, since now it seems like it's riding nostalgia, there's no question the new portable machine has gotten off to a good start.

Kyouryuu Taisen Dino Champ: Saikyou DNA Hakkutsu Daisakusen translates loosely to Dinosaur Battle Dino Champ: Unearth the Ultimate DNA. You move a jeep about on an overhead map, attempting to capture giant beasts (the game also seems to include lesser known crab-like dinosaurs). Once you've captured a beast, you can link up with a friend and pit your creatures in battle.

Some WIP news about the Atari2600 emu for the DS:
Finally, got my wireless card. Now I can continue working, provided school does not get in my way.
I plan on rewriting the entire CPU core emulator to use ARM assembly. Then, I am going to add sound and a ROM menu so you do not have to painfully recompile the emulator every time you want to play something else.
Finally, when sgstair is done hacking wireless, expect to be able to play multiplayer Atari 2600 games with the person beside you or on the other side of the world.
Thanks buZz` from #dsdev for the new shot of H.E.R.O. on the About page.

Given the success of Nintendo's new puppy simulator Nintendogs and the company's focus on its DS handheld system this holiday season, it was only a matter of time before prospective DS owners were offered a bundle deal. However, Nintendo's doing the conventional wisdom one better by creating a limited edition bundle with DS colors and a variant version of Nintendogs, neither of which will be available separately.
The bundle hits stores October 24 with a $149.99 price tag, and includes either a pearl pink or teal-colored system, and a "Best Friends" version of Nintendogs that lets gamers start the title with the six most popular breeds from the three existing Nintendogs games: Labrador retriever, golden retriever, German shepherd, beagle, Yorkshire terrier, and miniature dachshund. As with the other versions of the game, all 18 breeds are unlockable in the "Best Friends" edition. Other bonuses in the package include a Nintendogs-branded, bone-shaped screen cleaner and a paw-print-riddled Nintendogs skin for the system.

If nothing else, Nintendo turned a lot of heads (including ours) when they announced their Revolution controller at the Tokyo Game Show last week, including that of Microsoft Xbox VP Peter Moore, who told GamesIndustry.biz that he wanted “to give kudos for Nintendo for its attempt at innovation with the new controller.” Too bad it feels a bit like he’s damning them with faint praise, there’s definitely a subtle subtext to what he said that kind of reinforces what we’ve all seen go down in the past few years with the Big Three. Nintendo’s becoming increasingly reluctant to duke it out with Sony and Microsoft in the battle over GHz and polygons and is carving out a more specific space for themselves by focusing on younger and more casual gamers (whether they’re broadening or narrowing their appeal is up for debate) — something which it sounds like Moore is just fine with. Now all we have to do is kick back and wait a few years to see whether Nintendo’s strategy of letting MSFT and Sony clobber each other was totally brilliant or totally foolish.

Divineo China posted this news:
The M3 adapter is now in stock in CF version only.
The SD version should follow soon.
<a href="http://www.divineo.cn/php/affstart.php?affcode=arboretum&prod=ds-m3cf"><img src="http://www.divineo.cn/divineo/images/products/ds-m3cf-s.jpg" border="0" alt="Buy the M3 Adapter here"></a>
M3 Adapter is made for those who want to download freeware games, movies and music from a PC to a GBA(SP) and/or Nintendo DS. You can use your PC and normal Compact Flash Card Reader to transfer and convert you movie & music files to the Compact Flash Cards. Then, insert M3 Adapter with CF/SD Card into GBA(SP) or Nintendo DS, and the files will be available after boot up of the console.
Its features are just the same as any other MP3 Player on the market but also playing games and movies instead of playing music only.
One of the coolest features of an M3 Adapter is that you can directly run third party software on it – that includes emulators of the video game system.
