A new version of the GBA/Nintendo DS (to be) emulator has been released, heres what the author posted:[br][br] New version! That's right, DSemu is now at v0.0.1b; it's more an arbitrary change than anything. I have added multiple backgrounds into the Mode0 renderer, commented out some GPU detritus, and added some more ROMs in the archive. Do note however, that multiple backgrounds is currently untested.

It will take place this year, as previously promised. The system will be released to Japan on December 12, 2004. The base system, model number PSP-1000, will retail for 19,800 yen (20,790 yen with tax) and will include the system, AC adapter and battery pack.

Game publisher Genki has opened a teaser site for its upcoming Nintendo DS detective adventure game. Titled Tantei Kibukawa Ryosuke Jiken Dan (The Incident Files of Detective Ryosuke Kibukawa): The Masquerade Lullaby, the game is based on a popular series that Genki produces for mobile phones in Japan. [br][br]In Masquerade Lullaby, you take the role of shrewd detective Ryokuse Kibukawa. Together with his female assistant Izuna Sagishima and a game scriptwriter friend, you'll be solving a mystery that takes place in a port town in Japan. Further details on the game, including how it'll take advantage of the DS' various features, have not been disclosed yet. [br][br]As with most dialogue-heavy adventure games, the chances that Masquerade Lullaby will be released outside of Japan are slim

The GameCube and Game Boy Advance will be supported by a UKP 5 million marketing budget in the run up to Christmas, Nintendo UK has revealed, with the firm hoping to continue the sales uplift which has marked much of 2004.[br][br]A hardware bundle for rhythm action title Donkey Konga is set to continue the promotion of the title, which launched on October 15th, and will enjoy a UKP 750,000 marketing spend - including TV advertising and sponsorship of popular TV show Takeshi's Castle.[br][br]The retail bundle will pack in a console, controller, a copy of the game and a set of the DK Bongo controllers for a suggested price of UKP 89, which is only ten pounds more expensive than the standalone price of the console.[br][br]The company has already announced plans for a Mario Kart: Double Dash bundle, which will pack a copy of the game in with the GameCube console at the UKP 79 price point, and a Pokemon Colosseum bundle which will include game and console for UKP 89.[br][br]The next major promotional drive for the Cube will come in late November, with Metroid Prime 2: Echoes set to launch on November 26th supported by a targeted TV campaign, a print advertising campaign and a number of PR initiatives.[br][br]In terms of the Game Boy Advance, the launch of the Limited Pink Edition of the GBA SP this week is being heavily promoted - with celebrity endorsements from major female celebs being used as a key part of the campaign.[br][br]Two hardware bundles are also planned for the GBA SP - a Mario Limited Edition Pak featuring new title Mario vs. Donkey Kong, and a Zelda Limited Edition Pak featuring the new Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap title.[br][br]The firm also plans to continue its UKP 1 million marketing campaign for Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green through to Christmas, with TV and cinema activity planned in the coming months to keep the games in the public eye.[br][br]Although exact details haven't been announced, Nintendo is also expected to put considerable marketing weight behind titles such as Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Tales of Symphonia on Cube, and Super Mario Ball and Final Fantasy I and II: Dawn Of Souls on GBA.

News from Lik Sang [br][br] Today we received the long-awaited successor to the smash Nintendo 64 hit, Mario Tennis for Gamecube, two days early compared to Japan official release date. All pre-orders are shipping as we speak and new orders are welcome for only US$59.90, eligible for free shipping worldwide. We tested this japanese version with Freeloader and it works a treat on both PAL and US Gamecubes without any flaw.[br][br]The Mushroom Kingdom has hosted tennis tournaments before, but this time even more powerful shots and new, character-specific, power-ups guarantee the craziest matches ever. The wild multiplayer action allows players of all ages to pick up the game and instantly start smashing tennis balls around and yet a deep level of challenge awaits those willing to master it. You will use ever stronger shots with a multitude of spins as you continue to boost your skill points. There are four difficulty levels, three ball speeds and three main modes: Exhibition, Tournament and Special Games. Exhibition mode lets you master the basics of tennis, including mini games like Gimmick Court where you'll struggle to keep your footing on tilting courts, slog through sludge and more. In Tournament, battle your way through eight-character playoffs. Special Games like Terror Tennis or Mecha-Bowser Mayhem offer outrageous fun with an unique twist. Whack balls at ghosts, oh the horror (Luigi must feel the deja vu)![br][br] [br][br]Whether you tend to crowd the net like Luigi or prefer to rely on a baseline game as Mario does, we have the official trailer for you to get into some felt-whacking mood:[br][br]Mario Tennis - Official Japanese Trailer[br][br]You can choose your favorite character from a total pool of 14, where each one sports a particular strength. Peach, Daisy and Shy Guy for example are master technicians, while Waluigi specializes in defense. Wario, Donkey Kong and Bowser rely on brute force (who would've guessed?). Others represent either speed demons or are able to put nasty english on their shots. Mario and Luigi themselves are well-balanced characters, relying on different strategies seems to be the key to success with those. Mario Tennis is most realistic on the Peach Dome's regular, clay and grass courts, then quickly gets very crazy with bizarre courts inspired by Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, Donkey Kong, Bowser's Castle and Wario.

Nintendo is preparing to take its Chinese iQue console online in November, allowing gamers to buy and download new software using their home PCs instead of using kiosks in supermarkets and other public areas, and opening the door to online gaming.[br][br]The iQue, which integrates the N64's major functions into a slightly bulkier control pad design and plays games downloaded onto Flash cards, launched exclusively in China last year, and its software line-up includes the likes of Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.[br][br]The new online upgrade - in the shape of a special USB cable - will allow Chinese gamers to connect iQue to their PCs and access the iQue@Home service over the Internet, which will allow them to download games and store old software on a remote server in order to free up space on the console's Flash card.[br][br]The USB Cable Upgrade will retail for $20 according to specialist Lik-Sang, and will eventually be used for multiplayer gaming as well as access to content - although Nintendo has yet to reveal details of how that might work. iQue users will also be able to communicate with one another using the iQue@Home service.[br][br]Nintendo has previously stated that the iQue console, a joint venture between Nintendo and former Silicon Graphics president Wai Yen, will not be released outside China

In exactly four weeks from today the US is going to go DS crazy. As you're probably all too aware, here in Europe we have to wait until sometime next March for DS to hit the shelves, but in the States they get to touch DS on November 22.[br]Just four weeks. Even the Japanese are getting it on December 3. Ah well, it's not all bad - we've got three new DS showreel movies that demonstrate loads of games and how they work with the touchscreen. Sure, that's an old-fashioned DS in the movie, but it's the games that count. Download them, get a biro, sit very close to your monitor and tap it with your pen. See? It's just like the real thing![br][br]If that doesn't keep you going until March you could always pop over to the official DS website and check out two new Japanese TV adverts for the system. You'll get a sneaky glimpse of a few more DS titles and they'll certainly fulfil your quota of Jap craziness for the day.[br][br]On a similar note details are emerging about Nintendo's marketing strategy for the DS in the USA, with the first TV adverts and print promotions about to appear. Apparently Nintendo is shooting for a more 'mature' audience. For 'mature' read 'male, hormonal, American Pie fans', which we can't really argue with. [br][br]Hence the TV ads, which begin airing today, feature a sultry female voice telling you to "touch it" and lads' mag spreads will feature large-chested women holding a DS with the taglines "How to score!" and "start listening to her needs, playa!", both of which make us want to give out high-fives and shout "Wooo-hooo!" Now that's marketing.[br][br]Naturally, Nintendo is playing possum about the sexed-up attitude of the ads. "When you're a kid you're always told you can't touch anything," reckons Perrin Kaplan, Nintendo of America's vice president of marketing. "Touching is good. You're grown-up now, so read it how you want."

The Nintendo DS is the third best-selling video game console for the week of October 11-17, Nikkei BP Consulting reports today. Of course, the machine isn't out until December 2 in Japan, but electronics retailers are including preorders for the system in their sales calculations. [br][br][br]First place in this week's chart went to Nintendo's other handheld, the Game Boy Advance SP. The standard PlayStation 2 hardware was ranked at second place, and fourth place was taken by preorders for the upcoming redesigned version of the PS2. The Nintendo GameCube came in at fifth place.

First up is Crush, which seems to be taking a leaf out of Sega's Feel The Magic book by bringing dating to the DS. You can choose to play as a boy or girl as you embark on the "ultimate dating quest" and "enjoy the freedom to say and try anything". From bitter personal experience probably best not to say, "you're sexier than my girlfriend," then try and grope a stranger's bottom. On a train. At rush hour.[br][br]Crush promises witty humour that really "captures the essence of teen entertainment." Does this apparent proliferation of dating games say something about DS's intended target audience? Do they expect loveless losers with no social skills to be their mass market?[br][br]Or is it racing game fans? Asphalt Urban GT is a rather tasty looking racer featuring over 20 licensed cars from Lamborghini, Jaguar, Hummer, VW and Audi and eight tracks through real world locations. Full tuning and bodywork modding options are promised and the second screen is used both for fancy camera angles and to keep an eye on your rear bumper.[br][br]And finally we've got Rayman DS. The floaty freak will bounce around 45 levels all rendered in lovely, gorgeous DS 3D. In this instance the bottom screen will be used for inventories, maps and health bars.[br][br]All three Ubisoft games are due between the DS's US launch and Christmas. One thing's for sure: when the DS launches in the US on November 22, Japan on December 3, and Europe around next March, there'll be no shortage of eclectic games.

Gaming fans and especially Nintendo 64 fans will love this news from Lik Sang [br][br] After month of silence around Nintendo’s iQue, here is the long awaited iQue Update with some exciting news about the console. This will make iQue owners but also N64 veterans very happy as it's finally getting interesting.[br][br]Nintendo recently didn't only announce Sin and Punishment for the iQue (which is available at iQue Depots since a couple of days), they will finally ship the iQue USB Cable. The magic accessory allows downloading new games, updating the iQue through the Internet, online play of iQue ported N64 titles and to communicate with other iQue owners. The cable is supposed to be available within two weeks.[br][br]Whether this development gives us an outlook how the NDS online functions are supposed to work or if this development is completely separate from other Nintendo (of Japan) developments, and if the online multiplayer modes are already built in into the previously published titles such as Mario Kart, remains unanswered at iQue Limited. [br][br][br]Online Enable your iQue[br][br]Before you will be able to use the relatively inexpensive iQue USB cable, you will have to enable your Flash Cartridge for the online mode (officially called "iQue@Home"). Lik Sang has been told by the iQue distributor that games can be purchased by buying the usual "game voucher" you would normally use in-store with the iQue Depot. By entering the code online, you can download instead. Over the internet you will also be able to maintain a list of the games that you currently own. If your flash card is full, just “store” some of them on iQue@Home to free up some flash memory (just as you could with iQue Depot in-store). Lik Sang will try the best to prepare proper English usage instructions once the service opens and the cable is available. [br]What is the iQue Player and how does it work?[br][br]The iQue Player is Nintendo's controller-style console that was released in China at November 21, 2003. The console connects directly to the TV and is based on N64 hardware in form of Nano-Technology in a single chip containing CPU, Graphic Engine, GPU and so on (this is called System on Chip, SoC).[br][br]Games for the iQue Player are not available the traditional way, they have to be downloaded to a 64 Mega Byte Flash Cartridge that is included with the system. In order to download games, you had to use one of Nintendo's iQue Depots (KIOSK) in one of China's supermarkets. For people not living in China, Lik Sang is offering pre-programmed Flash Cards with all games. [br][br]Those wanting more inforamtion should head over to Lik Sang to read more and see the screenshots too.
