A brand new title “inspired” by 1995 movie outing Toy Story is on the way to Wii this autumn courtesy of Disney Interactive Entertainment.
Toy Story Mania is a mini-game collection featuring the likes of Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Slinky Dog, Rex, Bo Peep and Hamm. It’s based in a “carnival” setting and is designed around the pick-up-and-play design ethos.
Interestingly, the game will also support a 3D mode, and comes packed with 3D glasses. Disney is infusing plenty of the third dimension into the Toy Story brand at the moment, with 2010 releases on the cards for Toy Story 2 3D and Toy Story 3.
“The Toy Story franchise is a fun, dynamic and heart-warming series containing characters and themes that connect with every age group,” Disney Interactive’s senior vice president of global marketing Craig Relyea stated.
“Toy Story Mania combines those popular elements with the unique antics of the new theme park attraction for the ultimate in family entertainment.”

We'd already heard that Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus controller add-on was at least loosely tied to the launch of EA's Grand Slam Tennis game, but it now looks like the two may be even more closely linked than previously thought. According to a listing on Amazon.de, the add-on will actually be available in a bundle with the game (in Europe, at least), which will set you back €53.99, or just over $70, when it launches on July 2nd. As Joystiq speculates, however, this move could also be just the excuse Nintendo has been looking for to delay its own Wii Sports Resort game, which itself was supposed to come bundled with MotionPlus add-on but has been largely missing in action since its debut at E3 last year.

As usual, Square Enix is taking care of Taito’s games overseas. They haven’t gotten around to announcing Space Puzzle Bobble yet, but it’s coming. Puzzle Bobble Galaxy was recently rated by the OFLC in Australia and the USK in Germany. Both rating boards list Square Enix as the publisher. Technically this news is only for PAL regions, but Square Enix isn’t going to produce Puzzle Bobble Galaxy just for Europe. You can count on a domestic release too.
But, don’t expect Puzzle Bobble Galaxy to shake up the bubble popping formula. The Nintendo DS game has boss battles, wireless play over Nintendo Wi-Fi, and paddle controller support with classic bubble shooting.

Worried that Gyakuten Kenji (Turnabout Prosecutor) won’t come out over here? I wouldn’t. Capcom USA published every Nintendo DS game in the Ace Attorney series so far, but courtroom drama fans want a little evidence right?
I found some, a trademark for Ace Attorney Investigations registered by Capcom. With Ace Attorney, Apollo Justice, and Phoenix Wright already registered I’m confident this will be used for Gyakuten Kenji. This DS game has Edgeworth and Gumshoe playing more of a detective role exploring crime scenes and piecing together evidence to crack cases instead of saving innocent defendants in court. The Japanese version comes out in May. Localizing Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney took around ten month so I wouldn’t expect to see Ace Attorney Investigations until the end of this year at the earliest.

For Dragonball Z’s 20th anniversary Toei is remastering the series and cutting the fat to make Dragon Ball Kai. The anime will air in Japan on April 5. Namco Bandai quick to capitalize on the situation bumped Dragonball Kai: Saiyan Raishuu from a late May release to April 29.
Unlike other Dragonball games this isn’t a fighting game. It’s a Dragonball RPG is set during the first arc of the series and includes an original story. Players control Goku and a team of other characters that can link up for Sparking combo attacks, some of which are originally created for the game. In battles you have three party members that can be swapped out with reserve members. Switching characters is one the battle system’s seven commands. The others are: fight, technique, ultimate, item, run, and endure. Beat up enemies and customize your stats to make a powerful fighter, a speedy fighter or a support character. I wonder what it would be like to play the entire game with Goku as a support character feeding healing items to Krillin.

via Eurogamer
Nintendo has told Eurogamer that a DSi Virtual Console-style service offering downloadable Game Boy and GBA games is "purely rumour and speculation".
The platform holder was responding to a report by website Kombo, which cites confirmation from a source supposedly inside a special platinum Nintendo Club event on Sunday evening. Kombo claims Nintendo will initially limit downloadable Game Boy and GBA games to first-party titles.
The website has since been contacted by Nintendo and told the Virtual Console-style service has yet to be confirmed for North America. It has, however, apparently been announced for Japan.
The platform holder also stated that Game Boy and GBA games are not playable directly from SD memory cards as the report originally claimed.
Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata delivers his GDC keynote address tomorrow at 4pm GMT (9am PST). We'll be covering the talk live on Eurogamer, ready to snap up any announcements tumbling from his chops.
He speaks as the DSi breaks 2 million sales in Japan after four-and-a-half months on sale, according Famitsu.
The Nintendo DSi will be available across Europe from 3rd April for GBP 149. Head over to our recent in-depth analysis of the DSi to find out whether you should buy one.

DSi shows no sign of letting up in Japan. The latest sales milestone for the system is the two million mark, which Famitsu publisher Enterbrain announced today was reached over the week ending March 22.
The DSi now has a userbase of 2,024,431 units in Nintendo's home territory, where it launched in November of last year.
While Enterbrain did not share sales totals for last week, it appears that the release of three new color variations helped push the DSi over the top. It's also likely that the DSi managed to retake the top hardware sales spot following three weeks of PS3 and PSP dominance. We'll have weekly sales figures on Friday.
The DS platform has a whole crossed a major milestone as well over the week. Enterbrain reports total sales of 26,083,985 units for the system. Of this, the original DS and DS Lite account for, respectively, 6,449,206 and 17,610,348 units.

News via nintendomax
AgentQ has posted a new test release of SCummVM DS:
Heres the details:
Hi,
I've completed work on my build which supports external RAM packs. Using one of these devices, you can play Full Throttle and The Dig on your DS.
Full Throttle runs perfectly, with very little slowdown. The Dig has some slowdown. It's also probably not completable - see the 'issues' list below.
The following types of slot-2 RAM device are supported:
- Supercard
- M3
- Opera Browser Expansion Pack (untested)
- G6 (untested)
- EZ Flash
If you have a slot-1 card (one that fits in your DS slot, like an R4DS or an M3DS Real), you can load the data files from that, and use the RAM in slot-2 (GBA slot). Also, if you have a slot-2 card with an SD slot, you can load the files from the slot and use the RAM both in slot-2. To do this, just patch the ScummVM binary with the DLDI as normal, and then when the game starts, on the RAM device menu, choose the same device.
When you first start this build of ScummVM DS, you will need to select the type of RAM pack you have. This setting will be saved, and you won't be asked again unless you start ScummVM DS without the RAM pack, or with a different type of RAM pack inserted.
There are also some new features to go with this:
- High quality stereo sound support: so you can listen to the fantastic soundtracks to both of these games! (the high quality audio checkbox in the options is greyed out, as the new mode is used all the time)
- Brightness adjustment: This lets you brighten the game (using a gamma correction technique) to more easily see the dark graphics in The Dig on the original DS screen. Press select and click on the 'Graphics' tab, then adjust the brightness bar at the bottom with your stylus.
Issues:
- Unfortunately, one particular room in The Dig causes a crash, because not enough assets in this section will run from slot-2 RAM. This is the tall room with the power source at the bottom. It's probably impossible to complete the game because of this. Also, I'm not sure the technique I'm using in slot-2 RAM will allow me to overcome the problems with this section, so this section may never work properly.
- The Supercard I have fails to start up sometimes. I'm not sure whether this is a general issue with Supercards, or just the one I have.
- Some DLDI drivers don't work when a device is used both as RAM and for disk access at the same time. I had problems with my M3 lite, and narrowed it down to the use of DMA. If the driver uses DMA, it won't work with this build. I've prepared a new version of the m3sd_alt driver I was using which doesn't use DMA. You need to use this DLDI to avoid random crashes if you're using an M3 Lite. You can download it here: http://scummvm.drunkencoders.com/m3sd_alt_v2.dldi (Source: http://scummvm.drunkencoders.com/m3sd_v2.zip)

Last night, Nintendo held an event for platinum members of Club Nintendo to try out the new DSi. Quite a few interesting tidbits were shared at the event, including that DSi owners will be able to download Game Boy and GBA games. I am going to mark this as a rumor for now, however. We haven’t heard about this in Japan and Nintendo has yet to officially confirm the news.
- Will be only able to download Nintendo GBA/GB titles at first
- GBA/GB games will be region-locked
- Will be able to run the games from an SD card
- Calculators will be downloadable
- Opera available for download on DSi launch day
- Confirmed that owners will receive 1000 free points

We got a word from a tipster (who frequently tips off Chinese trade paper Digitimes), that Nintendo will be refreshing Wii internal hardware this summer, with 65nm versions of both its CPU and graphics chips, while clock rates would stay the same.
Currently, the IBM PowerPC based CPU is made on a 90nm process and the ATI “Hollywood” GPU is likewise 90nm. Both companies have been making 65nm chips for over a year, while ATI also has 55nm working technology as well.
Furthermore, thanks to the new chips, the Wii is said to be “passively-cooled”, meaning it won’t require any fans.
Considering how cheap flash memory is these days, it would be easy to assume that Nintendo would increase the 512 MB internal flash storage as well. However, according to the source, the new version of the Wii would have no other hardware changes besides 65nm technology and new heat sinks for cooling.
It makes perfect sense for Nintendo to go 65nm, as both Sony and Microsoft have updated their CPUs to 65nm (in Microsoft’s case, the GPU as well) and are currently working towards 45nm. Compared to 90nm, the 65nm manufacturing process not only brings lower power consumption and cooler processors, but substantially reduces manufacturing costs as well. However, as usual, there is no official word from Nintendo. Considering that the company still hasn’t released the official Wii specs, it’s unlikely that they’ll share the news of 65nm parts.
We’ll only know when someone dissects their new Wii this summer.

Do you remember Project Ringo? If the answer is no, we don't blame you! Sega opened up a teaser site for the mysterious game back in early February, then spent the next few weeks offering up no real hints as to the nature of the game. That's about to change shortly.
The latest update to the teaser site reveals that an official unveiling for the new game will take place next week, on April 3. The source for the info will be both the teaser site as well as Weekly Famitsu.
So it looks like the answer to that two month-old question of "What is Project Ringo?" is almost at hand! Those who can't wait can get a glimpse at what is presumably the game's main character via the Flash animation at the teaser site or in the images we've captured for our media section.

Wii owners will have a new way to beat the heat this summer as Hudson Entertainment splashes up Water Warfare, a "first person soaker" videogame, exclusively downloadable for WiiWare. The family-friendly "soaker" is set to be published by Hudson Entertainment, the North and South American publishing arm of HUDSON SOFT. The game has been rated E10+ for Everybody 10+ by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).
"Water Warfare is the perfect summer videogame to beat the heat." said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. "It's easy to download and play this 'first person soaker' – just get your squirt gun ready and go for it!"
In Water Warfare, players go head to head or team up as they run around playgrounds and beaches to drench each other with squirt guns. They'll be able to protect themselves with, what else, raincoats, towels and more. There are other items, like the umbrella, which can attack and defend at the same time! With different types of squirt guns, pick-up items, offline and eight player online multiplayer, there's tons of squirt gun fun to be had. Throughout the game, players use the Nunchuk to control movement, aim using the Wii Remote, and can load up on different squirt guns, such as shotguns and rocket launchers, to soak their opponents.
For more information on Water Warfare, as well as other titles from Hudson Entertainment, please visit www.hudsonent.com.

Diner Dash will be making its way to the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and WiiWare this summer, courtesy of Hudson Entertainment. The popular franchise, featuring Flo the waitress and her efforts towards making a junky diner a success, has sold more than 2 million units to date.
"We're delighted to bring Flo and Diner Dash to new gen consoles for the first time," said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. "Players have fallen in love with the award-winning series because of its quirky characters and fast-paced fun."
On consoles, Diner Dash will be a 3D affair with players being given the ability to take direct control of Flo. Success will come to those that can seat customers, take orders and deliver food as efficiently and quickly as possible. If you are a Diner Dash fan and prefer the old point-and-click style of gaming, that option will be available as well. Multiplayer modes will also be available with a Team Dash for 8 players or a two player face off.
