Given the crazy sales and, no doubt, small budget of Ubisoft's Just Dance, it seems obvious that the company would follow up with another Wii dancing game. However, the next game in Ubisoft's dance series isn't a simple Just Dance sequel (though we're sure that'll happen too) -- rather than licensing a few pop hits and a few really embarrassing dance songs from the early '90s, the next game is about ... showtunes.
Dance on Broadway features a selection of 20 songs from Broadway musicals, including "All That Jazz,""Fame" and "Time Warp" (it's just a jump to the left!) The full track list is available after the break.
Ubisoft has announced a June 24 release date for EMEA territories, but none yet for North America. The ESRB rating on the box art would suggest that a North American debut isn't far off.

UK retailers are selling Nintendo's DSi console for £119.99 following the announcement of a price cut earlier today.
CVG has been told by senior retail sources that £129.99 is the widely 'agreed' retail price for the device following the drop - but that certain chains have already sliced another £10 off.
The standard price for the console at the likes of HMV, GAME and Amazon is already £119.99 online and at various High Street locations.
Nintendo's announcement said that the new trade price would come into effect on June 18 - but it appears UK retail isn't shy in jumping the gun.
Nintendo maintains that - unlike other hardware distributors - it doesn't set a 'suggested retail price', rather letting individual retailers set their mark-up.

Emergent has revealed its Gamebryo Lightspeed engine has been licenced to a studio working on a WiiWare title.
The announcement is, as Emergent planned, a demonstration of the degree of scalability that the Gamebryo LightSpeed engine benefits from.
Emergent’s latest platform was used in the development of Bethesda title Fallout 3 – a high-profile title available on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Yet Polish studio Bloober Team will hope to make the most out of the engine for Last Flight; a downloadable action-adventure horror game available via WiiWare.
“We were shopping for a fully featured game engine and tool chain ready to use out of the box, and Gamebryo was the only development platform that met our standards,” said Pawel Lewandowski of Bloober Team.
“In contrast to other engines available for Wii, Emergent’s tech is really well documented. Not only is there a standard API documentation, but all tools are documented as well. Provided examples are useful and commented with great detail.”

Nintendo has today revealed a new culinary DS title, 1000 Cooking Recipes from Elle * Table. Created in conjunction with the the titular luxury lifestyle magazine that is itself part of the famed Elle brand, the 'software' promises to guide aspiring foodies through the finer points of creating everything from light meals to three course feasts.
Taking a more high brow approach to interactive recipes than Nintendo's own Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat? - which was released in 2008 - 1000 Recipes includes features such as a cheese and wine guide by Master of Wine Jancis Robinson and John Farrand, Guild of Fine Food.
That considered, it appears the package is aimed at the older audience attracted by the DSi XL's larger screen and Nintendo's continued drive to welcome more senior demographics.
As well as its four-figure collection of recipes, the new package also boasts voice recognition for hands-free navigation, and a number of special seasonal and camera-based social features.
Released on July 2nd this year 1000 Cooking Recipes from Elle * Table will give users recommendations based on different ingredients, country or season, and promises to add a touch of class to their capabilities in the kitchen.

In its first strategic reposition ahead of the arrival of the 3DS some time later this year, Nintendo has cut the price of its entire DS range in Japan.
From June 19th the super-sized DSI XL will see its price drop from YEN 20,00 (£150) to YEN 18,000 (£132). The DSi will drop from YEN 18,900 (£140) to YEN 15,000 (£110).
In addition, the platform holder has confirmed that it will no longer issue guidance prices for the DS Lite. The expectation is that retailers will significantly reduce the current YEN 16,800 (£125) asking price.
Nintendo is also releasing three new colours for its current top-of-the-range DSi XL – yellow, blue and green. These will sell alongside the existing wine red, dark brown and natural white.
Though the XL has been well received, it was always going to struggle to match the market impact of previous revisions such as the DS Lite or DSi. The launch of these colours appears on the surface to be an attempt to tap into the DS’ naturally younger demographic.

Sure this ain't the first time we've seen Mario Kart step outside the game console, but we'll be damned if Tomy's Japanese line of RC cars don't inspire a serious case of gadget lust. In addition to the usual remote controlled shenanigans, these guys have the ability to "shoot" virtual shells and bananas at other cars; power-ups are indicated on the controller via LEDs; and cars contain infrared sensors so you know when you've been hit with a weapon (which causes you to rumble and slow down) Cars are available from Amazon Japan to the tune of ¥2,730 (around $30) each.

Nintendo has said that it is committed to ethical manufacturing in the wake of reports that staff at Chinese partner Foxconn are committing suicide amid poor working conditions.
New reports suggest Foxconn has put up protective safety nets around its buildings to prevent more suicides at its main Chinese plant, as further stories emerge of inhumane working practices.
The plant, which makes a wide range of consumer electronics - including the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, iPod, iPhone and iPad - has recently come under intense scrutiny following 12 attempted suicides and 10 deaths, most involving staff jumping from roofs.
The company has already pledged to increase salaries by 20 per cent and to offer counselling for its over 350,000 employees.
However, a recent Guardian report suggests an even darker background to some of the deaths, with the family of the first victim alleging that he was murdered by security staff and his dead body thrown from the rooftop.
Other staff though have pointed out that conditions at the factory are in fact better than average for the Guangdong province. Particularly after the first death in January, some have theorised that many of the deaths may have been intended to benefit the victim's families with conciliatory payments from Foxconn.
With the facts of the matter under such dispute many of the Western clients of Foxconn have instigated their own investigations, with Nintendo joining the increasing long list of concerned parties on Friday.
"We take our responsibilities as a global company very seriously and are committed to an ethical policy on sourcing, manufacture and labour," said Nintendo in a statement to GamesIndustry.biz.
"In order to ensure the continued fulfilment of our social responsibility throughout our supply chain, we established the Nintendo CSR Procurement Guidelines in July 2008. We require that all production partners, including Foxconn, comply with these guidelines, which are based on relevant laws, international standards and guidelines."
Also speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Institute of Business Ethics research director Simon Webley commented: "Organisations need continual reminders that no matter how good their products, their reputation can be seriously damaged by events and practices throughout the length of their supply chain,"
"Companies should make sure that their suppliers have similar values and ethical practices to their own. This would include respect for human and labour rights covering such issues as health and safety standards, pay rates and use of children," said Webley.

Treyarch are promising to blow Wii owners away with a version of Call Of Duty: Black Ops that's similar to the 360, PS3 and PC versions.
Treyarch were behind the rather rough-looking Modern Warfare Wii port last year but, according to the company's Studio Head Mark Lamia, players won't believe that Black Ops is running on Wii.
"We do everything we can to make the two as similar as possible," Lamia told ONM.
"Whereas we're able to create the same assets that can be displayed on the PS3, PC and the 360, we actually have to do quite a bit of work both on the technology and the assets and the investment is heavy to get it working on the Wii but we're committed to it as we were with World At War and Call Of Duty 3 which was a Wii launch game.
"What we want to be able to do is create the most intense, the most cinematic 'you can't believe this is running on the Wii' situation that you could imagine. That's what people expect from Call Of Duty. They expect to be blown away. We're going to blow you away."

Hillbilly posted this over at palib
Hello again. It's been a while since I've posted anything so I thought this would be an appropriate time to catch up with you all and share what I have been working on. Throughout the course of around 1 week of total programming, I have made a simple engine for a top-down shooter in a third-person perspective. The engine, itself, is pretty efficient and I hope to expand it a little more to include more items and triggers for events such as text to appear on the top screen. The only reason why I really posted here though is because I need more levels for this game. Currently, I have one level total and, although it looks decent considering my art skills, it lacks the ability and creativity of a true spriter/graphic artist. So, I guess I'm formally making a call for any spriter/graphic artist to make some levels for this game. I can provide you with all the information you could possibly need via replies to this post. But for now, I'll just share the demo for you all to get the feel of what this game (I hope) will be.

24 Points is a card game developed by reflection Skyfrog at the Nintendomax Wii Dev Competition 2010.
QUOTE
A deck of cards (without figures) is shared between the player and the Wii.
At each turn, players place two cards on the table.
Then use the four cards and put the symbols +, -, x, / to calculate 24.
To understand the solution, the game offers a formula editor 3 lines.
example
-> Maps: 2 8 5 1
line 1 => 5 1 = 6
line 2 => 6x8 = 48
Line 3 => 48 / 2 = 24
It has ((5 +1) x8) / 2 = 24.
If you find how to make 24 before the end of the lap, you get 4 cards of the table.
Otherwise it's the Wii which retrieves the cards.
Then we start a tour.
A player wins the game if it retrieves all the cards.

News via http://emu-russia.net/en/
NES emulator for Windows has been updated recently. Changes:
- Added microphone support option. When enabled, Port 2 Start activates the Microphone. Added movie recording of mircophone;
- Fully implemented "bulletproof" read-only;
- Movie code now fully conforms to the Savestate section of the Laws of TAS;
- Movies now have a "finished" mode. If a playback stops the movie isn't cleared from memory, and can be replayed or a state loaded. Similar functionality as DeSmuME and GENS rerecording;
- Implemented a "full savestate-movie load" mode similar to the implementation in VBA-rr and SNES9x-rr. In this mode loading a savestate in read+write doesn't truncate the movie to its frame count immediately. Instead it waits until input is recording into the movie (next frame). For win32 this feature is togglable in movie options and the context menu. For SDL this is off by default and a toggle will need to be added.
- Faster loading of Movies and Savestates;
- New lua functions;
- fixed zapper.read() crash on movie finished;
- Fix PlayMovieFromBeginning when using a movie that starts from savestate;
- New and improved input display;
- Autohold display fixed with 4 player support;
- Win32 NTSC Filter Video options;
- Win32 - Many feature enhancements to the Cheats dialog;
- Win32 - Debugger - many crash bug fixes and breakpoint handling fixes.

We rarely, if ever, write rebuttals to stories posted on the esteemed, list-friendly publication known as Time, but we've got more than a few bones to pick with its recently posted "50 Worst Inventions" list. Around every turn, the list seems to get it wrong. For instance: FarmVille? There are 70 million people who'd disagree with that one. And Virtual Boy? The world's first fully-3D game console/amateur LASIK surgery machine? That's about as progressive and brilliant as inventions get.
