Wanted: Weapons of Fate executive producer, Pete Wanat, says Sega -- whom he has no current working connection to -- would need to sell "2-3 million units" to make a sizable profit on MadWorld. Wanat doesn't pull his punches during an interview with web show Invisible Walls, criticizing the Nintendo Wii's development process where spending more than "$350,000 to $500,000" on a game runs the risk of making little to no profit.
"[Nintendo was] getting their ass handed to them [last generation], trying to compete with hardcore gamers. So they said, 'We're not going to bother, we're going to find our niche audience.'" says Wanat. "[Nintendo] has succeeded overwhelmingly so. But do not expect the rest of the industry to get down on its knees and 'blow' Nintendo to make games for that system when you can no longer use it and the same porting mechanism [when creating multiplatform SKUs on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC]."
Now Nintendo fans, before you feverishly type a retort, Wanat wants to make it clear that the Wii is home to some "unbelievable experiences" (specifically calling Nintendo's first-party titles, "Awesome"). However, as a third-party developer, "cracking the code" and finding success on the platform doesn't allow a game to be ported to other systems without completely changing the game's unique features, like gesture-based controls. "You're really getting narrowed to that one, narrow market. And what sells there? Nintendo games." It seems Sega is already feeling that sting.

This week Sega’s first DSiWare game will launch in Japan. Phantasy Star Zero Mini gives players a taste of the DS game with an area to explore and a dragon boss waiting at the end. Slay the boss and you get a score which can be shown on the game’s leaderboards. Phantasy Star Zero Mini has 3D graphics, wireless play, and the neat visual chat system — all of which were part of the retail game.
The level in Phantasy Star Zero Mini, Glacea Ravine, and the boss are also from the full game, something clearly mentioned on the game’s product page. If you have Phantasy Star Zero there isn’t any reason to get Phantasy Star Zero Mini. The DSiWare version is really designed for people who don’t own Phantasy Star Zero.
Sega will sell Phantasy Star Zero Mini for 200 DSiWare Points ($2 / 200 yen). Considering the 5,040 yen price of Phantasy Star Zero, the diced up DSiWare game will be 4% of the final game.
What do you think of the situation? Is Phantasy Star Zero Mini a glorified paid demo? Is $2 a reasonable amount for a sample of a Nintendo DS game? Nintendo of Japan introduced a similar system by breaking down re-releasing stripped down “chotto” or “express” versions of their Touch Generations games like Planet Puzzle League and Clubhouse games.

Looks like DSiWare apps are coming in more than once a month now since Nintendo has a new line up of software scheduled to come out on April 1.
One of the more creative applications is the Photo Stand Band Brothers Radio DX. For 500 DSiWare points ($5) you can stream music based from the user created tunes from Band Brothers DX. The application has a variety of stations like this week’s top ten, hot songs from a single artist, hello newcomer for new music tracks, a hip hop station, and even a video game music station. Barbara the Bat acts as an announcer so it’s almost like having access to a real radio station. While you’re listening to music you can display your photos which explains the “Photo Stand” part in the title.
Two more Nintendo themed clocks based on Super Mario Brothers and Animal Crossing will go on sale for 200 DSiWare Points ($2) a piece.

In Japan, consumers are rewarded with 1000 free Nintendo DSi points when they first connect their new DSi system to the online store. We've been crossing our fingers that North American gamers will receive the same reward when the portable is released here on April 5, and it looks like we're in luck. Target's product page for the DSi says, "Upon initial access to Nintendo DSi Shop, 1,000 Nintendo DSi Points will be credited to your account, which you can then use to download your free Nintendo DSi-exclusive games and applications."
For full details, Target directs consumers to DsiOffer.Nintendo.com, but that site does not appear to be live, yet.

A new release of Moonshell is out, Moonshell is the Shell that does just about everything for the DS:
This package is an update version. (It is a provisional reception because there was no time to make a full package. )
Please copy 'moonshl2.nds' and '/moonshl2' folder onto the disk where 'Version2.00 Beta.8.1' is installed in the superscription.
Content of temporary update
The ROMEO2 reception program was built into.
The file number under on the screen of the image display corrected the bug that was '1/ 0' always.
When 'Previous music' or 'Next music' was done in the music performance, the bug to which the play icon was not renewed was corrected.
Power supply LED was turned off while performing the DPG animation. Blinking when pausing.
The eraser and the undo function were to the note pad.
Only when not performing music, the screen saver setting screen is displayed.
A very long file name corrected the bug that overlapped with the file information.
Download v8.1
Download v8.2 req v8.1 installing first

Everyone and their dog familiar with the Pokémon Game Boy games wants a monster-catching MMO - or at the very least a proper home console instalment on Wii.
It's disappointing to hear then that the proper 3D Pokémon we've been fantasising over since the N64 days, is still not even a dream in its creators' heads, according to an interview conducted by What They Play.
"At this point, we're not thinking of going in that direction," game director Junichi Masuda, accompanied by designer Takechi Kawachimaru, replied when asked of the series' potential Wii and MMO future.
"Trading is a core concept of Pokémon. So when you're trading, you meet with a friend and decide which one you want and which one they want. I would like to emphasize real-world communication. You don't see each other online," Masuda added.
Brilliant. As for the next, 300th instalment in the handheld line, the Pokémon man says it may take advantage of the DSi's new features: "If we think there's something interesting and fun for the players that we can do with the camera, then we'll definitely consider applying that new technology to the future Pokémon games," he said.
"You can take a picture and draw on it, and that's fun, but we have to make it much more fun for the player if we want to put it in our games."
If we have to wait any longer, we're going to make a 3D Pokémon.

GameStop's senior vice president of merchandising, Bob McKenzie, has praised Nintendo's pricing of the DSi.
Speaking to Gamastura, Mckenzie explained how the USD 179 price point still represents value, despite being USD 30 more than the DS Lite.
"I think they've got the value there," he said. "It's great; I think it's priced right. They've done a good job. Seeing the demo of that thing really makes you realise how much different it is from the original DS Lite."
Mckenzie commented on the handheld's redesign, including its loss of the GameBoy Advance cartridge port.
"Having the DSi losing the ability to play your GBA games on it - I don't think that the consumer is really going to look at that as a negative," he explained, saying that demand for the older titles had "definitely tapered off".
"We saw a similar thing with the launch of the PlayStation 3, obviously," he added. "Initially that launched with backwards compatibility, and then some of the variations of the different size configurations weren't backwards compatible."
"The further you get from that launch, I think, the less impactful it is to the consumer, because they feel they've upgraded their library over time."
