Nintendo's recent registering of trademark 'Nintendo V-Pocket' has sent internet speculation, um, ape-shit.[br]As you'll recall, we reported on the trademark last week when it was unveiled by the Japanese Patent Office and at the time entered into the spirit of things by making wild suggestions about the product 'Nintendo V-Pocket' could refer to.[br][br]Of course, unlike a sleeping dog, the 'Nintendo V-Pocket' trademark isn't something that the internet can let lie, and the most recent rumour dropping on the 'net's collective head from a great height is linking 'Nintendo V-Pocket' with Palm Pilot functionality for DS.[br][br]You see, according to reports, Nintendo has licensed Palm OS from PalmSource. This could turn DS into a PDA as well as a games machine and obviously the handheld's touchscreen would be well-suited to such PDA-style action.[br]Although certain quarters have questioned the appeal of - potential - PDA functionality on DS, all we can say is: if you could have access to the entire Batgadget belt, why just opt to plump solely for the Batarang? [br][br]A Nintendo UK rep said that "Nintendo does not comment on internet speculation" when queried earlier about the Palm OS reports, but obviously we'll let you know should we get anything concrete on Nintendo V-Pocket from the horse's mouth.

We hesitate to read too much into this, but there’s a rumor going round that Nintendo is going to license the Palm operating system for use in some sort of add-on for the Nintendo DS. The gist of it is that Nintendo filed a trademark in Japan for something called V-Pocket which may or may not be the name for a new package of productivity and organizer applications for the DS that would presumably take full advantage of the portable console’s touch screen. Not entirely unplausible, but it’s hard to imagine there being a massively large number of people who’d want to use the DS as an organizer.[br][br]

The GBA and future Nintendo DS emulator for windows has been updated with a new version and also this news.[br][br]"The ARM instruction validator that mic's working on grows all the time. It has 4 screens now! And after a bit of hacking (most notably, fixing rotated-operand LDR to actually rotate the carry in for RRX), I get green lights across the board. I've been assured that Gebea and sGBA do just as well, though, so I still have better competition.[br][br]I've packaged the all new ARM-wrestler ROM into the download Zip, so head over to Downloads and try it out."[br][br]Download from Here

Ubisoft has revealed that it plans to release Nintendo DS versions of its forthcoming King Kong and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory titles this year - in addition to previously announced DS titles Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Bomberman DS, Rayman DS, Sprung and Asphalt Urban GT.[br][br]The French publisher, which has been one of the most avid supporters of the new Nintendo system, also revealed that other DS games based on existing internal franchises are set to follow.[br][br]The DS version of King Kong will be released this Christmas to coincide with the cinematic release of Peter Jackson's film project of the same name on 14th December. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory will also appear later this year.[br][br]Fans won't have to wait that long for its DS take on Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, however, which is due this spring. Bomberman DS, recently signed from Japanese developer Hudson Soft in a deal that also included PS2 title Bomberman Hardball, will appear this summer.[br][br]Although Ubisoft's early DS titles Sprung and Asphalt Urban GT have met with poor reviews in the USA, Ubi's interest in the DS is sure to have been buoyed by more than 180,000 sales of the latter, and it has already announced plans to release Sprung, Asphalt and Rayman DS alongside the Nintendo hardware on 11th March.

I hope this is an ok topic here (since the gc section talks about/links to Modchips...)
Anyway, I'm thinking of getting that Viper chip, and I was wondering if anyone has a reliable site to get it from.
I see this page Here is linked from http://gcemu.dcemu.co.uk/. Has anyone made any purchases from there and how was the service?

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata is set to take the floor at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco next month, with a Thursday morning keynote presentation titled "Heart of a Gamer".[br][br]Iwata is the second key speaker from a major platform holder to be announced at the show, with Microsoft's J Allard already due to deliver an address on Wednesday morning - although neither speaker is expected to reveal much about their respective companies' next-generation plans.[br][br]The Nintendo boss' presentation promises to cover his perspective on the current state of the games industry and the changes set to take place within interactive entertainment, with a specific focus on how these things have driven the company's thinking on both the DS and Revolution consoles.[br][br]Almost uniquely for someone so highly placed within the industry, Iwata's background is actually in game design - having played a key role in the creation of the Kirby character, the Super Smash Bros series and the Earthbound RPG series before moving into his role at the top of the firm.[br][br]"Satoru Iwata is a global icon in the game industry and we are honoured to have him share his knowledge and experience with the entire game community," commented GDC director Jamil Moledina. "The GDC strives to deliver the best the industry has to offer and Mr. Iwata certainly brings us to that level."

Ubisoft has announced that Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Peter Jackson's King Kong and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory will all be making an appearance on the Nintendo DS.[br]Gameplay details are scarce on all three titles. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is the officially licensed game of some film that's coming out this summer. Apparently it's the story of some bloke called Anakin Skywalker who gets some lassie up the duff, goes all moody, falls in some lava and buys a black helmet. Thus, we expect a platform game. [br][br]Seriously though, the DS version will more than likely transpose the scenes of the film into clever touchscreen-fuelled gaming experiences. It'll be ready when the movie hits cinemas - May 19 in the States and shortly afterwards in Europe.[br][br]Even less info is available for the DS version of Splinter Cell, but it's due "later this year". Hopefully we can expect some nifty touchscreen stealth, and possibly the mic being used for distracting guards and the like.[br]Last up is Peter Jackson's King Kong. It's another flick license, this time based on the Lord of the Rings' director's remake of the monkey monster-mash movie. More touchscreen madness should be expected, hopefully including a 'Spank the Massive Monkey' minigame. The film's due out on December 14, 2005 in the States so the game should be arrive around the same time.[br][br]These titles join Ubisoft's three DS launch titles: Rayman DS, Sprung and Asphalt: Urban GT.[br][br]The DS launches across Europe on March 11. More info and some screens for these new Ubisoft titles soon.

Out of the minefield of reports and rumours threatening to destroy the unwary on the Internet - be careful where you tread - we rather like the recent wild and wonderful suggestion that EA is planning to develop a Nintendo DS version of its next Command & Conquer: Red Alert game.[br]News of the existence of a new Red Alert game smacked us between the eyes last December, when EA vice president and executive producer Mark Skaggs revealed that the project was already underway.[br][br]At the time Skaggs said that the team behind the new Red Alert title will "leverage and continue to evolve this powerful engine [the Sage graphics engine originally developed for Generals and an enhanced version of which is powering Battle for Middle-earth] as we start work on our new Command & Conquer game."[br][br]Hardly a statement that causes Nintendo DS to immediately spring to mind, is it?[br]Still, the rumours would have us believe that EA Pacific is watching over development of the DS version of the title and that naturally the handheld's stylus and touchscreen are being put to good use.[br][br]And what, pray, does EA UK have to say about all this? When we confronted a spokesperson with the rumour earlier, we were told: "EA have not made any announcement or confirmation on this title."

I got this flash card but I can't make it save two games at the same time. I always play Castlevania titles, and I'd like to have the 3 of them at the same time in my card. The only problem is that when I save one of them, it overwrites the others' saves.
Can anybody help me? Does anybody have any ideas???

The Nintendo DS is taking to the road from 04 February in a massive consumer and trade sampling campaign. It will give everyone across the UK the chance to discover what nearly three million gamers in the US and Japan have already discovered – the Nintendo DS is a great new way to play video games.[br][br]Kicking off with a national shopping mall tour throughout February, March and into April and taking in amongst the 40 day tour; Bluewater, Brent Cross, The Mall (Cribs Causeway) in the South and The Bullring, Trafford Centre and Meadow Hall in the North. Sampling will also take place at 24 'Lock In' invite only nights at Topman stores nationwide including London, Manchester and Birmingham flagship stores.[br][br]Gamers across the country will also be able to get their hands on the Nintendo DS at all 42 of the UK's VUE cinemas between 11 and 12 March, 19 and 20 March and 26 and 27 March in addition to further nationwide sampling activity at Mega Bowl Bowling Alleys, Laser Quest Arenas and All Sports retail stores up to and beyond the launch period. Gamers can find out where and when the tour will arrive at a location near them by logging onto www.touchmehere.co.uk [br][br]Games on show will include Nintendo first party titles 'Super Mario 64 DS', 'Wario Ware: Touched!' puzzle game 'Polarium' and 'Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt'. Third party titles include 'Project Rub' from Sega, 'Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf 2005' from EA, 'Asphalt Urban GT' from Ubisoft and 'Spiderman 2' from Activision.[br][br]Dawn Paine, Head of Marketing, Nintendo UK, said: "All our research has shown that sampling will be key in getting people to understand and really enjoy Nintendo DS – once people get their hands on it they can't put it down." [br][br]In addition to this fully comprehensive consumer sampling campaign, Nintendo will also ensure trade and retail get their DS fix courtesy of the 'DS – Dual Squads' with over 25,000 in-store sampling hits between now and the launch for store staff. Retailer GAME will be hosting 15 regional superstore evenings where top loyalty card holders will be invited in-store to try out the DS and its great games.[br][br]Andy Yates, Head of Retail Development, Nintendo UK, said: "Whenever you make a quantum leap in technology like Nintendo have done with the DS, people inevitably ask lots of questions, however, getting the console into people's hands immediately changes their perception and opens up their minds to a new way of playing games through touch. For this reason sampling will be pivotal to the success of our trade strategy." [br][br]Nintendo is also placing a record number of free standing interactive Nintendo DS pods into trade from 01 February. The new striking and eye-catching design will ensure good in-store standout. Nintendo estimate that over 500,000 people will have played the Nintendo DS by the time of launch.[br][br]The Nintendo DS will launch in the UK on 11 March 2005 at the estimated retail price of around £99. Nintendo DS software will launch in the UK on 11 March 2005 at the estimated retail price of around £29 and £19 depending on the title.[br][br]The Nintendo DS is the new touch screen, dual-screened handheld video game system that redefines how people play videogames. In addition to the touch screen, the system includes both voice input and multiplayer wireless communication. The sleek silver and black system will be a welcome addition to any game collection.[br][br]Click onto www.touchmehere.co.uk for all of the most up to date official information on Nintendo DS sampling.

Soul Calibur, the finest hack n' slasher to ever grace a Dreamcast and a pretty successful venture onto the current generation of consoles when it finally erupted across all formats the year before last.[br]Well, rumours have gathered apace that Namco's big swords battler may be about to debut on the DS and confirmation apparently comes today courtesy of the Official Latin American Nintendo magazine.[br][br]We first reported on this last September, but no further details have emerged other than Soul Calibur DS is an imminent arrival. Yet Namco would be fools to ignore the DS's touchscreen controls, wi-fi multiplayer and DS download play. Wouldn't they? Well wouldn't they?[br][br]We contacted Namco reps, who were unavailable for comment and "in a meeting" - either that or the sneaky beggars were engrossed in a touch of Soul Calibur DS themselves. No word from Nintendo on this one either yet, but we'll keep harassing them.

Nintendo has confirmed that it plans to unveil its next-generation console, codenamed Revolution, at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in May, but the company is still considering how best to announce it without giving too much away.[br][br]Speaking in a recent interview with Japanese magazine ITmedia Games, Nintendo of Japan PR Office Manager Toyoda Ken said, "we are still looking at E3 as a launching pad for the 'Revolution' platform, and are deliberating if we should feature the actual console, visuals, or simply illustrate the concept behind it".[br][br]However the Nintendo man said the company was cautious about saying too much. "While we are aiming to make some form of positive impression, we also want to avoid giving away too much, and are therefore currently in a dilemma about the situation," he added.[br][br]Still on Revolution, he said Nintendo had "absolutely no intention of approaching our new hardware with the intent of making it an extension of the line of hardware we've released up to this point," which almost certainly rules out "GameCube 2" as the official moniker-to-be.[br][br]"The fundamental approach to making things at Nintendo will not change," he said when asked about external pressures, before adding it was safe to say Nintendo was "embarking on a different direction than our competitors."[br][br]E3 is definitely the target though, as Nintendo is not considering any Nintendo-only events "at this stage".[br][br]As a final word on Revolution, Ken took a minor swipe at competitors Sony and Microsoft, both of whom have made stat or tech-heavy announcements in the past, by saying, "fun isn't something that can be expressed in figures, and we are ever mindful of how we can illustrate the difference offered by our particular brand of fun".[br][br]Toyoda Ken also said that the DS would feature prominently at E3 - particularly on account of the show's proximity to its 11th March European launch date. "Following the upcoming release of the DS in Europe, we are looking to use E3 as a means of generating additional momentum for the platform," he said.

Just how revolutionary is Nintendo's Revolution going to be? Already we've heard whispers of tilt-sensitive controllers, wireless connectivity with GBA 2, and a whole new way of playing games that relies on feel.[br]We're so eager to speculate because Nintendo has been keen to point out that it's working on something totally different to what we expect from a games console. Now recent comments by the Japanese giant's head of PR have put the rumour cat in amongst the speculative pigeons once again.[br][br]Speaking to Japanese website ITmedia, Nintendo's chief of public relations Ken Toyota revealed a few snippets of info about how he was planning to promote the enigmatic new console to the public. "We don't have the slightest intention of making a machine that follows the same path as conventional game hardware," said Toyota-san, whirring our speculation gears into action.[br][br]Luckily, we won't have to wait to long for the truth. "E3 will be the starting point for the Revolution," Toyota-san said, echoing earlier reports that the next-gen machine would turn up in LA in May. "It remains undecided whether we will show the real machine, videos, or unveil the concept. Right now, we are thinking of how we can accurately convey to people at E3 the different path that the Revolution will take and how it will change the way that games will be enjoyed." [br]Toyota-san also spoke of his worry that showing too much of the Revolution's new features could cause Sony or Microsoft to snatch ideas. "We want to receive some level of feedback from consumers," he said, "but releasing too much information is also another issue."[br][br]Nintendo seems determined to turn the way we play games upside down. It's widely expected that the Revolution will include innovative gameplay features similar to the DS's touchscreen and microphone, and a recent tip-off we received gave the following clue about the next-gen console's revolutionary feature: "Touching is good but feeling is better."[br][br]What remains to be seen is whether Nintendo's unique approach to gaming will win them mass-market support in the upcoming battle with Sony's PS3 and Microsoft's Xbox 2. All three consoles are expected to debut at E3, so we'll bring you all the statistics and impressions from there.[br][br]More Revolution news as it spins onto our desks.

The man who brought the glorious universe of Final Fantasy to adventure fans across the world is working on a new RPG for the Nintendo DS.[br]Japanese mag Famitsu, the holy grail of eastern videogame news, is reporting that Hironobu Sakaguchi has begun work on the project at his new Mistwalker studio.[br][br]Details are scarce on the game itself - not least the title - but Sakaguchi-san promised that the touchscreen would be used heavily and suggested that wireless multiplay would also be an important part of the experience.[br][br]The Final Fantasy pedigree on the project is impressive. Sakaguchi-san himself will act as producer, while Hideo Minaba, who has worked on numerous FF titles including Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, assumes the role of art director.[br][br]Storyline is clearly an important aspect of the project too, since Sakaguchi-san has split development between two teams: one to concentrate on the gameplay, and another to work exclusively on design and plot.[br]We'd love to have more details, but the prospect of such hallowed FF veterans working on a DS RPG already has us more than excited. It's about time somebody exploited the capabilities of the DS touchscreen for RPG combat and inventory management, and used wireless networking for some multiplayer adventuring. Hopefully Sakaguchi-san's project will be one of many.[br][br]More info as soon as we get it.
