Time for another update... this is a beta since there have been some pretty big changes, and there's still some work to do. The main feature for this release? GameShark cheat codes!
  
download: http://www.neoflash.com/forum/index....ic,7430.0.html
While browsing the SD card, if there is a file of cheat codes with the same name (minus the extension, which is .gsc) in the /menu/n64/cheats directory of the SD card, the rom options (right next to the box art - if you don't see box art, press Z to switch to the options mode) now includes a new option: Cheats. If you don't see "Cheats: Off" you don't have a matching cheat file. Make sure the names match except for the extension. Press C-Up or C-Down to move to the Cheat option, then press C-Right or C-Left to change the setting. The settings are Off, Select, and All. When you run with the Off setting, the game loads and runs like normal.
When set to Select, the game loads, then you go to a cheat selection screen. All the cheats in the file are shown; you navigate the cheats using the D-Pad, then use the C-Pad to change the cheat setting. For most cheats, the settings are Off and On. For some, the settings are Off and an integer. The help messages at the bottom tell you what buttons do what in case you forget. B always disables the current cheat.
When set to All, the game loads, then you got to the same cheat selection screen, but all the cheats are preset to On instead of Off.
Once you have selected the cheats you want, press A to run the game.
The second feature for this update is support for the UltraSMS emulator. Copy the emulator to /menu/n64/UltraSMS/ and when navigating Game Gear roms, you can press A to load the emulator, load the rom, and run the game in the emulator (just like NES roms). Another minor update is both NES and Game Gear roms now identify as such in the browser while navigating. Note - UltraSMS only handles GameGear roms, not Master System (despite the name). The UltraSMS.zip archive should be unzipped into the /menu/n64 directory of the SD card. The full path for the emulator is "/menu/n64/UltraSMS/UltraSMS.z64".

The 3DS XL has arrived! It's in the Eurogamer office, anyway, and so am I. Would you like me to steal anything for you while I'm here? I can easily source you a half-empty bottle of Brecon Carreg mineral water or - bit trickier, this - a four-foot tall steel broadsword belonging to the editor, currently buried in a plinth of plastic ice. Nobody's going to missthat.Or I could just tell you about the 3DS XL, I guess, which touches down in Europe on the 28th. Eurogamer's been sent the silver one, although there will also be red and blue models available, and while this particular unit is earmarked for the DF Hardware team, who will be giving it the whole A-Team dismantling treatment I suspect, probably during a fast-paced montage featuring welding masks and soldering irons, I still had the best part of an afternoon to mess around with it and gather some thoughts together.Battery life? Performance? Internal hardware changes? No idea whatsoever. DF will fill you in on that stuff, although the official line on the first point, at least, is that it's roughly twice as good as the original 3DS. Nope, I'm covering the softer aspects here: what I think of the buttons, whether it fits snugly in my delicate, doll-like hands, and whether an afternoon of XL Mario has sold me on an upgrade.Before we get to the machine itself, a word on the box. Ooh! Small! I like it, and so will all the whales that Nintendo will be saving, presumably. How on earth did the big N manage to fit a charger in there along with a larger 3DS unit and that typically gigantic instruction tome?Oh, they didn't. Thanks, Mario: you've just baffled certain sections of that famous expanded audience - the one that might only just be making the transition from DS to 3DS and may now spend a few quizzical moments pondering whether you charge this new device by - what? - sticking it in a microwave perhaps? Oh, alright, it's not that bad really. The omission feels a little stingy, but the 3DS XL's still compatible with the charger for the 3DS, DSi and DSi XL models. Also, those whales will be happy. They'd better be.

WayForward Technologies' brilliant 3DS download title Mighty Switch Force will be released on the Wii U eShop at launch.
 According to GoNinteno, Nintendo Power has confirmed as much in its latest issue, revealing that sprites will all be redrawn for a 'HD' facelift.Mighty Switch Force is a 2D platform/puzzle hybrid that has players searching through obstacle and puzzle-filled levels to track down Hooligans within a time limit.
The report says that the Wii U version will include the 'bonus incident' DLC from the eShop update, and will use the GamePad screen for the 'Hooligan Tracker' done with the lower screen on 3DS. Other new features are also a possibility, according to the report.
On a side note, the report says WayForward is also working on an entirely separate game for 3DS and Wii U, and is said to be in the 'planning stages'.

Kitsune Sniper retires from romhacking today (or so he claims, but we all know how that goes) and in so doing, releases patches for two games that he’s been working on for quite some time.
The first of these is the NES Samurai Pizza Cats game. It should be noted that this was produced in isolation from the other Samurai Pizza Cats translation, and includes a lower case font, text compression for an expanded script, and two distinct patches - one with a more literal translation, and one with a more true-to-the-spirit-of-the-TV-show localization. He’s been working on this for many years, and it deserves a look!
The second of these is for a beatemup called Sengoku, which Kitsune freely admits is terrible. But to each his own!

Ten months of NDA-induced Wii U silence was rudely interrupted by a leaked trailer, just prior to E3. Not only did the naughty video reveal a sequel to the rather stonking Rayman Origins, it confirmed a Wii U release and exclusive functionality. Nintendo made it this close to E3 without anyone spilling the Wii U beans... but not close enough. So what did the leaked footage tell us? And did it reveal anything it wasn't supposed to?
 1. Wii U pumps out pretty gamesA 2D platformer may not push Wii U's innards like one of Bruce Wayne's photorealistic Bat-pecs, but it's certainly no slouch. Already, Legends is sharper than Origins, boasting pin-sharp toons bathed in incredi-lighting. Check out the winged beasties lit up by purple fireworks and try to stop the drool pooling around your knees.

Satoru Iwata said Nintendo evaluated Xbox Live-like subscription but decided against it
Nintendo held its annual shareholder's meeting this week, and one of the topics raised in the discussion was how Nintendo would approach its online network for Wii U and 3DS. Nintendo is aware that it needs to do more to bolster its online offerings, which is why Nintendo of America just hired a senior vp of network business, but the company feels that charging online users is the wrong approach.
According to a translation (by Andriasang) of comments made at the meeting, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata noted that Nintendo did think about the idea of a paid online service similar to Microsoft's popular Xbox Live but ultimately the company decided it would limit the number of online users Nintendo would attract.
Keeping the online service open and free, and "by having everyone use the Miiverse together, word of mouth will more easily spread. This will lead to greater hardware and software sales," reads the translation.
Wii U launches this holiday season, and Nintendo has high hopes for much better third-party support than the company saw with Wii. In fact, Iwata mentioned that "Nintendo started sharing information with third parties at about the same time as its internal teams" and "Nintendo also holds seminars and dispatches employees to other companies."

Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has said a third Nintendo 3DS revision could confuse consumers, and suggested that further design revisions - such as the much-requested dual Circle Pad version - won't be released any time soon.
 Speaking at a shareholder meeting this week, Iwata said consumers would become "perplexed" if given too many 3DS variations to pick from. As a result there are no plans to revise the hardware "in the near future," he said."A user will get lost with too many choices," he told attendees (via Genji2Game translation).
Yesterday Nintendo confirmed it will be releasing a redesigned Circle Pad Pro to support the larger form factor of the Nintendo 3DS XL.

This is not just a great week for the 3DS eShop, but it's an important one. Last weekend, Nintendo discounted Super Mario Land temporarily; this weekend's sale on VVVVVV proves that these limited-time discounts are an actual thing. For a digital Nintendo platform, two sales is a giant leap forward.That discount is joined by a demo for Rhythm Thief, which appears to actually be coming out, and interesting new eShop games Bomb Monkey and Marvel Pinball 3D. It's not so great for the Wii this week, with absolutely no releases of any kind on the Wii Shop, but it can't all be good news.http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/28/ni...l-vvvvvv-sale/

Dean Takahashi discusses issues with the Wii U's tablet controller
[h=3]Nintendo[/h]www.nintendo-europe.com
Nintendo's E3 2012 press conference left many unsatisfied with its content, with many people citing the software as a disappointment. However, to GamesBeat's Dean Takahashi, he thinks that limitations with the tablet controller are the most disappointing aspect to him.
"They have a major issue with the capability of the Wii U console where it has a single processor but it has to drive multiple displays," said Takahashi. "A single graphics chip inside the console has to drive the big screen, the main game screen, but it also has to provide the imagery for the tablet controller, the game pad. And yet the system itself isn't that powerful."
"Nintendo only showed games with one game pad controller and the TV," he noted. "Most games out there, if you're in a social setting, you want two controllers. Nintendo didn't show any games that do that. They admitted in a Q&A that the games are going to run slower if you have two game pads and playing on a main display. That's a fairly big issue for them."
Currently, Nintendo is trying to push the capabilities of the system in an "asymmetric" sense, but Takahashi isn't completely bullish on that. "They made a good case that you can play with one controller and multiple Wii controllers, what they call asymmetric gaming where one person is looking at the small tablet screen and trying to deploy zombies while the people playing with the controllers were all on the main screen," said Takahashi. "You come up with very creative, different kinds of games where it's one against four, or one person going online. They tried to justify and turn into an advantage this major weakness of the Wii U, but I think a lot of people saw this as a weakness."

It was a surprise when the 3DS XL was revealed without a second circle pad – that it’s getting a Circle Pad Pro expansion is perhaps less of a surprise.
Andraisang reports the company has confirmed such a peripheral, and that it will be released in 2012.
However, considering the luke-warm response to the original Circle Pad Pro – mainly due to its aesthetic-destroying properties – many will remain surprised that Nintendo didn’t take the option of including a second stick on its new machine.
A couple of other details have also been confirmed.
Firstly, those upgrading from a 3DS to a XL will be able to transfer their data and purchases. Secondly, the new machine remains compatible with the Kid Icarus stand.
