You never know if hype will help or hurt a game. If you overdo it, you’ll be in trouble with the fans if you don’t deliver. If you don’t do enough, you risk being missed. Nintendogs has walked a fine line between the two. You’ve probably heard about it, you may even be intrigued by it, but you’re waiting to hear if the delivery is worth 40 bucks.
The buzz is good.
PlanetGameCube is reporting that Japan can’t get enough of Nintendogs. Reviews are glowing. Sales of the game have pushed DS sales up five fold, according to some reports. If true, that’s pretty impressive.
All in all, it looks like the rest of the world will have to look on in envy, or import the thing. This is getting to be a really bad pattern.

You can only upload/execute (commercial) code that has been signed by Nintendo using wireless multiboot because the firmware verifies the 1024-bit RSA signature. It is impossible to generate our own signatures because we do not know the private key. However, it *is* possible to remove the signature check by modifying the firmware. This means that you will be able to upload/execute homebrew code without the need for a GBA flash cart on a modified Nintendo DS. Only downside is that you will need to modify your firmware first using passme/wifime and GBA flash cart.

Since the Nintendo DS debut in December, Nintendo has, in various news articles, said it was searching for new ways to broaden the appeal of the handheld gaming platform to consumers outside the traditional gamer demographic.
In an interview published in the current issue of Japanese business magazine Zaikai, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said, "We would like to have as many people as possible to try out the DS. For that reason, we are searching for outlets to sell the DS aside from video game stores."
"Around the same time that I became president of Nintendo," Iwata continued, "the video game industry entered into a period where its traditional methods of market expansion were no longer working." Unfortunately, Iwata did not elaborate on what new retail methodologies the company is exploring.
Despite Nintendo's desire to expand the DS's appeal, the handheld is still selling well. Yesterday, the company announced that at the end of March, worldwide DS sales had passed the 5 million mark.

The Nintendo DS took a strong lead in the Japanese game hardware ranking last week, with the platform accounting for almost 53 per cent of all hardware sold thanks to the launch of new coloured versions and key new software titles.
Sales of the platform are believed to have hit around 96,000 units for the week, compared with just 33,000 for the PlayStation Portable, as software including Nintendo's own Nintendogs and Tomy's latest Naruto game arrived for the console.
The top-selling software title for the week was Square Enix' PS2 RPG Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song, which sold around 217,000 units but was completely sold out at many retailers, according to market watchers Media Create, and should sell strongly again once it is restocked.
Nintendo's GameCube strategy title Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki was at number two, with around 108,000 sales, but in real terms it was outsold by DS exclusive title Nintendogs, which racked up 181,000 sales in total - an amazing number for a title on such a recently launched platform.
However, since the game was launched in three different versions (Shiba, Dachs and Chihuahua), these three were tracked as separate products - meaning that the puppy simulation title took places four, five and six in the chart, rather than being listed as a single product at number two.
Tomy's latest game to be based on the hugely popular Naruto anime franchise, Naruto: Saikyou Ninja Daikesshuu 3, is another DS title which performed incredibly strongly this week, popping in at number three in the chart.
The performance of the Nintendo DS this week, combined with its strong performance in the past month following the arrival of the first batch of new colours, has narrowed the sales gap between the two new handheld consoles significantly.
Year to date sales for the DS stand at around 675,000 units, while the PSP has racked up around 758,000 units - and of course, the DS entered the year with a massive lead in Japan, most of which it still retains.
Aside from the DS' 53 per cent market share this week, the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable had 18 per cent share apiece, with the Game Boy Advance on six per cent and the GameCube just shy of five per cent.

Here is a demo showing off the functions:
1) gluSphere
2) gluCylinder
3) gluDisk
4) gluPartialDisk
5) good ole Dovoto's textured cube
All have the ability to be textured inside and outside.
I have a bit more optimizing to do on the texture side...but I think I have the functions working pretty well. These functions will only work with GL_NONE (not smooth or FLAT), and GL_FILL (no point or line mapping?)
Press A to change the figure (or z on the PC):

Speaking with US publication Electronic Gaming Monthly, in their most recent issue, Nintendo producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed more details about the current Legend of Zelda work in progress.
According to Aonuma, the team working on the new Zelda has tweaked the combat system used in Wind Waker and introduced some additional attacks. The critical counter move will make a welcome return - an inclusion that made Wind Waker's combat feel like well-rehearsed and choreographed routines.
Link will also have the ability to Doolittle, or talk to the animals, although Aonuma didn't disclose how he would communicate with his furry little friends. We'd imagine that this would be a core feature of the game that is performed using a specific item, much in the same way that the ocarina and wand were both central to Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker respectively.
Anyone who enjoyed a relaxing spot of fishing at Lake Hylia in Ocarina of Time will undoubtedly be pleased to hear that players will be able to indulge in some rod action.
In terms of the story, Aonuma confirmed that poor old Zelda needs rescuing (again), and - surprise, surprise - the evil Ganon returns (again).
The new Legend of Zelda title will be out for Gamecube later this year

Namco Hometek today announced that Pac-Pix has shipped to retail outlets for the Nintendo DS. The game stars Pac-Man, one of the legends of the gaming industry in unusual territory--a puzzle adventure.
The Ghosts have returned to haunt Pac-Man with more nuisances, and it's up to him to do what he does best--eat 'em. After a wizard creates "ghost ink," everything subsequently drawn with the fluid turns into ghosts. Pac-Man tries to trap the ghosts in a book using his own trusty pen, but gets stuck in the book along with his foes.
"Pac-Pix lets players express their creativity through the DS’s stylus and touch screen by drawing Pac-Man and a variety of items to track down pesky Ghosts," said Yoshi Niki, Business Unit Director at Namco Hometek Inc. "People have been drawing Pac-Man for 25 years, and we now have the capability to let players bring these drawings to life in an all-new adventure."
Gamers will wield the DS stylus as Pac-Man's pen, and control the hero by drawing walls that direct him one way or another. As the game progresses, both ghosts and Pac-Man will travel between the dual screens. In order to attack enemies on the top screen, gamers will doodle arrows and fire them upward, coaxing the specters to the lower screen and into Pac-Man's gut.

Sony finally unveiled the European release date and pricepoint for the PSP this morning, and Nintendo was quick to react with a stinging barrage of sales figures and new game release dates.
The PSP will go on sale across Europe on September 1 (full details here), a full six months after the DS's release on March 11. Nintendo has already shifted over 200,000 units in the UK alone, with the worldwide DS sales figure now nudging 3 million.
Nintendo seems unphased by the forthcoming arrival of the PSP: "Nintendo believes that competition is healthy and vital to industry growth," said David Yarnton, managing director of Nintendo UK. "The Nintendo DS is out now; retailing at £99 and with over 200,000 consoles sold in the UK in just over six weeks, the Nintendo DS has firmly cemented itself as firm favourite with UK gamers."
We're tempted to say "Oooh, hark at 'er," but then we love a bit of cross-company sniping. It's just a shame we have to wait until September for the handheld wars to kick off in earnest.
And to really rub salt in Sony's delay wounds Nintendo announced release dates for three new DS games that will hit shelves months before the PSP launches. Retro racing game Ridge Racers DS will be available from June 3, quick-on-the-draw stylus masher Pac-Pix will launch on May 20, and touchscreen and mic-bothering RPG Another Code: Two Memories will be out on June 24.
Other high-profile DS game launches include Yoshi Touch & Go on May 6 and Need for Speed Underground on May 27. Nintendogs, the puppy training game that has us wagging our tails every time we see it, doesn't have a release date yet but Japanese magazine Famitsu has just given it a coveted perfect score. Good boy!
We'll bring you the latest on the handheld showdown as it happens.

Wired reports about four skydivers who decided to give the Nintendo DS wireless capabilities a try while they were freefalling. 'The four sky divers proved that an ad hoc network set up using the wireless functions of a Nintendo DS works perfectly at distances of nearly 400 feet while falling 120 miles an hour,' states the article."

DS can do direct bitmap color sprites. I wrote a little demo to show how to do this. It makes a direct color sprite, a 256 color sprite and a 16 color sprite, all three rotating. I included a picture of it working on hardware since none of the emulators emulate it properly. (something to work on for them)

Here's your chance to pre-order a copy of the 2004 GBADEV.ORG development competition game. The game is expected to start shipping in late May or early June, but as only 500 copies are available we strongly recommend you to pre-order today.
First class postage is included in the price, but to keep costs down only orders of 5 or more are insured/trackable.
Since a BIG part of the cost is paypal and postage fee's, the price / game goes down quite a lot when ordering several games...
Pre-order Now!
