Ctr-Gcs : DacoTaco Edition 0.2b released by DacoTaco
Ctr-Gcs : DacoTaco Edition is a tool built to create or restore full, raw memory card backups and GCI save files just like the GC application Ctr-gcs did. These dumps can be saved to restore later or be used in emulators like Dolphin-emu. Unlike ctr-gcs however, this utility can read or write to unofficial memory cards; no matter what its size is.
The program will read & write the dump to the SD card (in the ctr-gcs folder) as MemoryCardA.raw or MemoryCardB.raw
Also please note that if you restore a corrupt dump to a memory card, or if the program shows an error while creating or restoring a dump, you may end up with a corrupted memory card.
0.2b (match 25th 2012) - fixed a few looping errors
- fixed DSI crash before restoring a raw image
[h=3]0.2 (march 23th 2012)[/h]- made program loop instead of 1 operation per time
- fixed minor bugs
- renamed raw dump file. its changed to MemoryCardA.raw or MemoryCardB.raw
- made the save file (on memcard and CGI list) scrollable incase you have more then 29 entries

Darksiders 2 is set to launch on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 on June 26. The Wii U is slated to launch sometime around the "year-end season." When Nintendo unleashes its newest system on the world, Darksiders 2 will be there.
Word comes from Hayden Dalton, lead designer at Vigil Games, who revealed the info in an interview with Digital Spy. "That's been very interesting to see what those guys are doing, and they're making efforts to make sure we do use it in more than a slapdash way," Dalton said in regards to how Darksiders 2 will use the Wii U's unique controller. "It's basically the core game, but then with added abilities to do certain things that you can't do on the other consoles."
"We're not basically heavily changing the core game to support the control system, but the control system will be an enhancement of the core game," Dalton said. One example he provided was possibly being able to switch equipment on the fly -- as the player is running, they can tap on the controller and instantly change equipment, rather than having to pause and navigate through a menu. "That's huge, it's not breaking up the game in a way, I'm not going into a menu and assigning it, I'm literally just tapping as I'm playing."

During all the Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two pre-announcement kerfuffle this week, we caught wind of a supposed 3DS versionthat, until now, has gone unmentioned by Disney Interactive. While we've still yet to receive an official announcement, Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion has appeared on the cover of the April issue of Nintendo Power, which is close enough for us.
Dreamrift, the studio formed by Henry Hatsworth alumni that brought us Monster Tale, is listed as Power of Illusion's developerin an online preview of the cover story. The article also lists the game's release window as Fall 2012, indicating a concurrent launch with The Power of Two. Nothing else is currently known, but we're hoping Power of Illusion gets some adorable accessories like its console cousin.

 This is going to sound pretty weird, because it involves clues to something you likely don't remember or know. The short version: Nintendo Power's table of contents reveals a game called "Unchained Blades" for 3DS, as a download.
The long version: this is the reveal of something publisher XSEED was cryptically teasing yesterday, with a series of images on Twitter including aTyrannosaurus Rex, a blade of grass, and a still from Ghost's famous pottery wheel scene. And now you're confused.
It's now clear that the clues refer to the dungeon crawler released in Japan asUnchainBlades Rexx. (get it: "Unchained" Melody plus "blade" of grass plus T. "Rex.") It was a retail game over there, but being in Nintendo Power's "Download" section suggests that XSEED is improving the distribution method along with the name.

Following the phenomenal success of Nintendo DS was always going to be a tall order.
The handheld has sold 13m units in the UK alone since its 2004 debut, making it the largest-selling games machine to hit the market.
One year ago this coming Sunday (March 25th), Nintendo’s answer to the insurmountable pressure of succeeding this powerhouse arrived on shelves: the Nintendo 3DS.
Undeniably, 3DS got off to a shakier start than expected. But 12 months on, Nintendo is keen to remind people that its newest handheld has come a long way.
“Industry expectations around the launch of the 3DS were high,” says Nintendo marketing manager James Honeywell. “3DS was the fastest-selling Nintendo handheld device ever and the sales are comparable to DS sales within a similar timeframe.”
Matthew Castle, associate editor at Future Publishing magazine Nintendo Gamer, suggests the hype for 3DS escalated out of control: “After dominating E3 2010, we expected something bigger from 3DS. What looked like one of the strongest launch line-ups of all time became one of the most disappointing.
“Even the most die-hard Nintendo fan can’t survive on N64 ports for six months. Thankfully, Nintendo got its act together in time for Christmas: finally charging the right price and releasing the games that caused such a stir the year before.”
The software line-up was one disappointment shared by Nintendo fans and the press, but the 3DS’ shortcomings were arguably blown out of proportion.
MEDIA WOES
Within days of its launch, The Sun and other outlets plastered their pages with talk of headaches induced by the 3D effect. Some games publications were also critical, comparing slow Japanese 3DS sales to the market-leading PSP.
“I think some went out of their way to find fault – although that didn’t stop them from taking a big chunk of Nintendo’s advertising budget,” observes Jason Brooks, HMV’s senior games buyer.
Castle adds: “Labelling 3DS a ‘headache machine’ was textbook scaremongering. The real problems Nintendo needs to learn from were the ludicrous pricing and the confusion between DS and 3DS. 3DS followed four iterations of DS – it was all too easy to mistake it for a fifth. No wonder we hear rumblings about regional Nintendo offices wanting to change Wii U’s name.”
Brand confusion was one lesson the platform holder learned and acted upon. By the end of 2011, PR campaigns had been drawn up around the message of ‘This is not DS. This is Nintendo 3DS’.
Nintendo continues to increase its efforts marketing the broader functions of 3DS: downloadable eShop titles, new SpotPass content and videos from Aardman Animation to name a few.
However, critics are quick to remind Nintendo not make the same mistake and lose focus on software.
“Does anyone need low resolution videos of Eurosport? Nope,” says Castle. “Nintendo wants what it had with DS: a mammoth games library.”
THE PRICE IS RIGHT
A major shot in the arm for the 3DS was Nintendo’s decision to cut the trade price by a third last August. This saw retailers bringing the handheld down from the £230 mark to the much more appealing sub-£150 region. And that turned more than a few heads.
“The price cut was intended to help expand the gaming population and maintain the momentum achieved at launch,” says Honeywell.
Within months, 3DS received another boost in the form of its Christmas line-up, headlined by smash hits Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.
From its slow launch, the 3DS stormed into 2012 with millions of unit sales under its belt.
More big games arrived this year. Resident Evil: Revelations and Metal Gear Solid 3D are already with us, while Nintendo’s next flagship title – Kid Icarus: Uprising – is out today (Friday, March 23rd). Still to come are Luigi’s Mansion 2, Mario Tennis Open, Animal Crossing and a new Layton – not to mention guaranteed system sellers.
Castle adds: “Dr Kawashima turned DS fortunes around and New Super Mario Bros is a proven money-spinner. Both are heading to 3DS in the next financial year.”
Brooks adds: “It would be great to see Nintendo build on the base it has created by getting its value price message more strongly out there and supporting it with some more top titles.”

This week's new Nintendo downloads list doesn't have any games you'll go mental for.
 It does, however, have a game staring a "samurai guitarist" who apparently lives in a future filled with zombies, which all sounds a bit mad.It also has a bunch of filler just to make sure the list isn't one game long.
Here it is:
Nintendo eShop
Zombie Slayer Diox - Zombie Slayer Diox is a rhythm-action game with a side-scrolling twist. Don the jeans and leather boots of a samurai guitarist living in a future time when zombies have taken over most of the world. (For Nintendo 3DS)
Nintendo Video

Nintendo eShop and Nintendo DSiWare
1st Class Poker & BlackJack - This collection offers many varieties of poker, blackjack and video poker, including Texas Hold'em, Double Flop Hold'em, Omaha and Pineapple. Play solo or try the local multiplayer mode. (For Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo DSi)
Nintendo eShop
Meet Nintendo Spokesdog Uggie - For a limited time, Nintendo 3DS owners who have installed the free Swapnote application can receive a special Swapnote inspired by Uggie, the acclaimed canine actor who recently signed on to become Nintendo's spokesdog. And if you haven't already, visit the Nintendo eShop to watch a video of Uggie's first day of training to spread the word about the nintendogs + cats game. You'll also find a demo version of nintendogs + cats available to download at no cost. (For Nintendo 3DS)

It looks like Ubisoft's Your Shape franchise will be jogging its way over to Wii U, according to a song licensing arrangement spotted by GoNintendo. Independent music publisher and licensor Royalty Network states that the song "Evacuate the Dance Floor" was requested for use in a game titled Your Shape Wii U.
Given that Your Shape is already available on the Wii, it's not too surprising to see it heading to Wii U. Our only concern is how the Wiipad will be able to support our body weight. And you can forget about multiplayer.

Also predicts lower price point for next Xbox console
[h=3]Nintendo[/h]www.nintendo-europe.com
Analyst Cowen and Company has shed doubt on the ability of Nintendo's next console, the Wii U, to significantly impact publisher shares.
"We note that while the WiiU will launch later this year, we do not view it as a likely driver of third party publisher shares given their historically low exposure to Nintendo platforms," said the report authored by Doug Creutz.
This is in contrast to the effect of new consoles from other hardware manufacturers like Microsoft.
"Although not yet confirmed by Microsoft, we believe the next generation Xbox console could launch in the fall of 2013. In past console cycles, the video game publisher stocks outperformed the S&P 500 for the 12 months leading up to the key console launch of that generation by an average of plus 57 per cent."

 Nintendo Video, the bizarrely unpredictable passive-delivery video service for 3DS, is getting an infusion of new music. If you've left SpotPass on, your system is likely already downloading music videos including the 3D video for The Shins' "The Rifle's Spiral," as well as Wale's "Sabotage" and B.o.B.'s "So Good."
Future releases include OKGo's "Skyscrapers," Skrillex's "Breakn' a Sweat," Death Cab for Cutie's "Underneath the Sycamore" and "Save World Get Girl" by chiptune/rock band I Fight Dragons.
We were just wondering what bands did with the expensive music videos they were still producing in 2012 for some reason. The answer, it turns out is YouTube and Nintendo Video.

 Yes, there's a sequel to Disney Epic Mickey. A tweet from Geoff Keighley first confirmed the title (of a game his show will reveal on TV as a "world premiere") as Disney Epic Mickey (2): The Power of Two. Then a piece from the AP went ahead and confirmed everything else.
It's coming out for Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360, and features drop-in, drop-out co-op play with Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald is AI-controlled when another person is not around, and can be controlled at any time by a second player, who then wields Oswald's "remote" ability to control electricity.
Other new developments for this now-official game include full voice acting, including the first voice work for Oswald in Disney history. That voice acting will be used to make the game a for-real musical. "I'm such a geek about musicals," Junction Point studio head Warren Spector told the AP. "I love the co-op and next-gen stuff, but for me, when a character breaks into song, which they do on a regular basis in this game, it's magic."
