The DS Lite will have a suggested retail price of $99 at US retailers from 5 June, Nintendo of America has revealed, whilst several million-plus selling Mario titles for the system are being given distinctive new packaging to help them stand out to customers.
Six Mario titles for the system, all of which have sold over 1 million copies each according to NPD data for the region, will be repackaged in bright red cases.
Those titles are: New Super Mario Bros, more than 9.25 million units; Mario Kart DS, more than 7.40 million units; Super Mario 64 DS, more than 4.34 million units; Mario Party DS, more than 3.27 million units; Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, more than 1.98 million units; Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, more than 1.01 million units.
"From the moment it launched, Nintendo DS Lite hit a sweet spot for consumers in terms of value, experience and fun," said NoA president Reggie Fils-Aime.
"This new price point will introduce Nintendo DS Lite to even more consumers, and the new red packaging will make it easy for them to find their favourite Mario titles."
Currently the RRP of the DS Lite is $129.99, but Nintendo hope that the new price point will give the system a further boost before it is phased out in favour of the new 3DS. However, sales of that system have so far failed to match the popularity of the DS and DS Lite, contributing relatively few to the 48.9 million units which the family of consoles has sold overall in the United States.
No specific hardware figures have been revealed for the US but the 3DS has been outsold fairly consistently by the PSP and other platforms in Japan since launch.

A new survey by Goo Research has found that concerns over price is the primary reason for low sales of the 3DS in Japan, followed by current satisfaction with the DS/DSi.
Although the 3DS initially broke records in Japan, weekly sales quickly began to drop and the hardware currently sells approximately half that of the best-selling PSP format. Sales in the West appear to show a similar drop-off.
According to a translation by website Andriasang, the new survey polled 1,110 people - with a 60.5 per cent split towards females - and asked them why they had not yet bought a 3DS.
The number one reason given was that the price is too high or that they are waiting for a price drop. The second most common reason was "satisfied by DS/DSi", followed by "worried about eye strain", "worried about getting sick from the screen", and "few launch titles".
The sixth most common reason was "will buy once a game I want is released", followed by "satisfied by cell phone and smartphone games", "satisfied by PSP", "the battery is weak", and "it's heavy and I don't feel like carrying it with me".
All of the most popular reasons are commonplace complaints for the system, but Nintendo has given no indication of any possible price drop. A number of new titles are expected to be announced at E3 next week though, at which point the online features, including the eShop, will also be activated.
A previous survey by Goo Research in March, just after the 3DS's release, asked the question "What game system will you buy next?", with the 3DS beating the NGP by 14,668 votes to 5,200.

TheMackshun offers the beta 1 and 2 of " Traffic Jam ", where you're driving a car and need to avoid the accident as long as possible.
This is a game about a person who is very strict about work. One day he is late because, um... he woke up on the wrong side of the bed? So then, he is rushing to work and there is a lot of traffic.He must dodge the cars and when his car gets the red power-up, he will knock all the cars out of his way.
But there is one thing.How is this going to be done?I am stuck trying to make the other cars drive down the screen and then doing it again in a random X position.Never the same.Or is it impossible. Also i don't know h ow the car fever(knock cars aside) is going to work out.Help would be really appreciated.
Yay. I'm pretty much done. There are minor errors like the Ni-fi, which works though. Im assuming this is the beta because it is finished. The boss is super fun, long, and challenging. Have fun!

Kyah moved, on the occasion of the Nintendomax Wii Dev Competition 2011 , version 1.0 of " Pong Breaker ".
As its name could suggest, Pong Breaker is a kind of mixture between the old classic Pong and Block Breaker and even a little bit of the inevitable SpaceInvaders!
The concept is simple enough: Two to four rackets, bricks and ball especially not to miss!
That this is playing with the Wiimote horizontally, we need the arrow keys and the button 2 times! Many provisions for bricks are available and the player can create himself his own!
Technical side, this game is based on language BennuGD
A day before the end, here is the final version of my game!
Programme:
A nice menu much more convenient than before (see screenshots)
3 1 player modes: Classic, Survival Invaders
A multiplayer game mode
A designer / editor at

Pate has thrown out a new version of his Dos Emulator for the DS:
Sorry for this unscheduled release, but as this is the day of the original Homebrew Bounty deadline, I decided to release a quick fix version to address a couple of issues introduced in the previous 0.33 version. This version supports 'sudokuhax' for running in DSi mode again, and it also has the screen blitting and keyboard reading code in the same order as in the 0.32 version.
I had reports about DSx86 missing keyboard events in 0.33 when using Smooth scaling mode, and the only thing I had changed that could cause this was that I moved the keyboard reading before the screen blitting in the VBlank interrupt. The reason I did this was that reading the keys also reads the scrolling buttons L and R, and scrolling the screen must happen within the VBlank period or the screen will tear. However, adding the Smooth scaling options make the screen blitting take so much time that the VBlank period has ended before the code gets to keyboard reading. I still don't quite see how swapping the order of the subroutines would cause key events to get missed, but it seems that changing the order back and just making sure the screen scrolling actually takes place only during the NEXT VBlank period fixes this problem.
The other problem introduced in version 0.33 was that I had to remove the DSi SD slot access code from libNDS 1.5.0 to make my AdLib emulation run without crashing. I now found a way to include that back in and still have my AdLib code run properly. I still need to dig into the original problem further to see what actually causes the hang. I originally got rid of the problem after I removed the SD reading code, the i2c handling code, and all the additional DSi mode ARM7 interrupt and FIFO handling. Now I managed to add the SD reading code (along with the FIFO stuff that that needs) back in, so I plan to check whether it is the interrupt, some remaining FIFO or i2c code that actually causes the problem. I have already tested the original libNDS 1.5.0 by only removing the i2c code, but that still caused a hang.
Anyways, I think I'll need to make some final touches also to DS2x86 before the actual Homebrew Bounty deadline, so this might very well be the final DSx86 Homebrew Bounty version.

First though I finished up one final unplanned update to Hero City.
Now when you attack you can actually hurt and eventually defeat enemies. The movement of enemies and the way they turn and bump into each other and you has been smoothed out. Now you get points for defeating enemies and your high score is saved when you die. You also get experience points which are persistent (They don’t get reset to zero when you die). Your health regenerates now and when it goes down to zero you die and get sent back to the title screen. The file size is smaller. I fixed some little things.
