An anonymous developer has confirmed that a WiiWare sales threshold - below which a studio makes no money - exists, but says it has been misinterpreted by the press.
"I'm concerned this recent threshold news is generating an artificially negative wave of press. The spirit of the threshold was never to screw the developer - it was, as far as I can tell, a quality control mechanism to prevent the service from getting overrun with a bunch of crappy games," the source told our sister site Eurogamer.net.
"Once the threshold is crossed, the developer is retroactively paid for every single unit sold below the threshold. I know there has been confusion on that point in the past.
"From the stats I've seen and heard developers report, the threshold is easily surpassed within the first day, or at least the first week, for many games," the source explained.
"I hear rumours within the dev community that Nintendo recognises a problem here, where occasionally an entirely legitimate game just doesn't make it, and is looking for a way to make exceptions, to ensure small devs are paid even if the threshold is not reached. Just rumours though, so who knows.
"I just fear this is one of those things that sounds a lot more evil than it actually is," added the source.
Earlier this month, it was reported that many indie developers struggled to meet the sales threshold, which Nintendo said was a "private and confidential matter".

A DS version of hit PC title Defcon is currently in the works.
That's according to developer Introversion, which is currently seeking a publishing partner. The DS game was originally going to be released with the help of distributor Pinnacle, which has since gone bust.
For those who aren't familiar, Defcon is an action-strategy affair inspired by classic movie War Games. BRODERICK. The PC version was ever so much fun, and scored a healthy 8 out of 10 in our review.
Stylus controls, a unique game mechanic and all the thrills and chills of the original are promised for Defcon DS. Introversion expects the game to hit the shelves this autumn.

Nintendo has defended US sales figures for Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, saying it is "in line" with other AAA DS titles.
Steve Singer, vice president of licensing for Nintendo of America, explained that Rockstar's sale of 89,000 units for March was standard for a successful third-party title on the platform.
Singer pointed out that Call of Duty 4's DS outing saw sales of 36,000 units in its first month, which later grew to more than 500,000. However, this is still significantly short of earlier analyst estimates that GTA: Chinatown Wars would sell 2 million units within the year.
"Chinatown Wars' is performing in line with AAA titles that have come to our platform like Spore or Lego Star Wars," Singer told MTV. "Those games went on to have very different life-to-date sales numbers."
Sales of GTA: Chinatown Wars were described as a "disappointment" by investment firm Cowan and Company, which now estimates that only 500,000 units will be sold by the end of the year.

FrozenCow has released Wii Device Library v1.1 :
Wii Device Library is a cross platform C# class library that provides an interface to various Wii related devices, like the Wiimote, Classic Controller, Nunchuk and Balance Board.
It’s possible to use Wii devices like the Wiimote or Balance Board with your computer. All you need besides one of these devices is some kind of bluetooth device. This could either be a bluetooth dongle or bluetooth built into your pc or laptop.
When using the Wii Device Library you don’t have to worry about all the bluetooth stuff, you can just access your device of choice through a simple and intuitive interface. Also new Wii devices and extensions can be implemented by this interface without recompiling Wii Device Library.
Another nice feature is the ability to scan for Wii devices through bluetooth and connect to them when they are available. This makes it possible to automatically connect to Wii devices when they are syncing. It uses the libraries of several bluetooth stacks to scan, connect and communicate with the Wii devices. Also this part of the library can be extended with support for more bluetooth stacks and/or operating systems.
Supported Wii devices
Wiimote
Nunchuk
Classic Controller
Guitar
Balance Board
Supported bluetooth stacks
Microsoft bluetooth
BlueSoleil
BlueZ
Features
A simple and intuitive programming interface.
The ability to scan and connect to Wii devices.
Wiimote extension support with a wide range of implemented extensions.
Support for multiple stacks.
The ability to extend the library to support more Wiimote extensions, devices and stacks.

Kuwanger has released a new version of his release of Goomba the Gameboy Emulator for GBA:
Okay, I've updated my fork. Major changes include, longer palette names, including all of Asaki's SGB palettes, adding a nice little palette name display (useful for Asaki's palette switching hotkey), a little more room for custom borders, better loading of custom borders (you can attach them to goomba.gba and load access them from Pogoshell, regardless if you multiboot), and removal of (hopefully) any chance for save state corruption.

Holger Eilts has made a version with better menu layout, alternative USB keyboard support, screenshots and the ability to load files within D64s directly. I'm working on integrating it in the trunk, but for now you can test it here:
It's based on v8 and therefore does not have network support.

Nintendo has more DSiWare games on the way across the pond in Japan. Today, the company shared a look at four new titles. Here they are with links to their official sites.
Leading the way is the third DSiWare Brain Age game, Brain Age: Sudoku Version. Yes, the sudoku craze has taken even Brain Age. This 500 DSi Point title includes 116 sudoku problems along with the usual brain age check tools.
The Chotto Magic Taizen series of magic titles is getting a new entry through Date Uranai. This 200 DSi Point title includes a magic trick that manages to determine the place your partner wants to go for a date.
Nintendo will be putting the DSi camera to use in Itsudemo Print Club. Set for 500 DSi Points, this software version of the Atlus Print Club brand allows you to decorate pictures with glossy stickers and shiny effects. Pictures can be saved to a My Print Book and exchanged with friends.
Finally, there's Atsumeru Egaocho, another photo app. This one has you go around collecting pictures of people's faces. Once you've taken a picture, you can have the game share ratings about the face, including animal type, capability, and level of "moteru," which is Japanese for how much action someone is getting. The software can also determine similarities and compatibility between multiple faces. Pricing is set at 500 DSi Points.
These four games will be available on April 22, only in Japan.

News/release from Lazyone:
I’m posting a sort of test release of my re-port of Wolfenstein 3D.
It’s only a few days old so it’s missing a few things but hopefully it should be playable.
- Registered Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny builds are available
- Status bar on bottom screen
- (Hopefully) All 320×200 screens should be drawn properly rather than hacked into 256×192
- Basic sound effects, no music or item pickup sounds yet. I wasn’t happy using an opl emulator for those so I’ll use a more suitable format later.
- Saving/loading should be working properly now
Bugs and incomplete things:
- No left handed mode yet
- No automap
- On screen keyboard does not allow capital letters for some reason
- Demos do not play properly
Keys:
Move forward: Up arrow
Move back: Down arrow
Move left: Left arrow
Move right: Right arrow
Strafe left: L shoulder button
Strafe right: R shoulder button
Fire: A
Use: B
Run: Y
Change weapon: X
Pause: Start
Back to menu: Select
Menu OK/Y: A
Menu Cancel/N: B
Installation:
Put your data files in /data/wolf3d, it doesn’t matter where you put the executables though.
DLDI Patch for your device if you need to.

The Wii's dabbling with the paranormal won't be limited to just Fatal Frame. The latest in spooks for the system has an even more high profile name: Ju-on, aka The Grudge.
The Japanese horror series that served as the basis of 2004's The Grudge is getting its very own Wii game in the form of Kyoufu Taikan: Ju-on, or "Fear Experience: Ju-on."
Set for Japanese release later this year through AQ Interactive, Ju-on puts you in a haunted mansion, equipping you with the Wiimote in flashlight mode. Alternating between members of a family, you'll walk around the mansion and experience various forms of fear. At the end of each stage, the game uses your Wiimote motions to determine your fright level.
Outside of the single player mode of play, the game also promises a multiplayer mode of sorts. In this mode, other players are able to control the various gimmicks that appear in the stages.
The Wii game is just a part of the festivities celebrating 10 years of Ju-on. Two new Ju-on movies are scheduled to hit Japanese theaters this summer. The Wii title is close to the movies in more than just name as Ju-on series director Takashi Shimizu is overseeing the project.
You can see an early, but still totally creepy, official site for the game here. We've also uploaded a first set of screenshots for what will hopefully be a creepy experience that lives up to its namesake.
