Since 2006, Nintendo has been offering a 512MB SD Memory Card for the Nintendo Wii. That was years ago. It's time for a bigger DS Memory Card from Nintendo.
The 2GB Memory Card will be out the middle of this March in Japan. Pricing is listed as "open." So if you are one of those who only wants first party Nintendo goods, this one's for you.

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata wants you all to know something: despite throwing music playback and a digital camera into the latest DSi, Nintendo have no intention of "directly competing with existing products".
That's right, after years and years of shying away from multimedia convergence like it was a steaming hot nothankyou.jpg sandwich, Nintendo have embraced the idea on the DSi, including features that we've never seen included directly on a Nintendo console before.
The casual observer (and hardcore observer, really) would think this was nothing but an attempt to push the DS on from being "just" a games player and into a bigger market, one currently occupied by do-it-all success stories like the iPhone. This bringing the DSi into, you know. Competition with such devices. Competition for consumer dollars and awareness.
But it's not!
No, Iwata would like you to ignore all notions of competition in the marketplace, and instead believe Nintendo are simply into pleasing people:
That's right. Nintendo doesn't have any intention of directly competing with existing products, but the mass media has a tendency to portray everything as a rivalry between opposing companies. It seems some people have the impression that we want to compete with cell phones or the iPod, that putting cameras or music players in our devices is out of character for us. I hope those who have such an impression will take an interest in what Nintendo can make when it dedicates itself to pleasing as many people as possible who pick up a DS, and I hope they'll actually pick one up themselves.

When Nintendo first announced GTA: Chinatown Wars, the first GTA game on a Nintendo system since 2004, eyebrows were raised. Seemed an odd choice. And for Sony, eyebrows are still being raised.
Speaking with MTV, Sony's John Koller - who's just everywhere these days - says that with the DS fan base being (as he sees it) made up mostly of kids under the age of 12, it's a strange fit for the system.
"It's an interesting launch on DS," he said. "It raises some eyebrows in a lot of areas. It'll be interesting to see how that sells." It will! Especially when you consider that there are millions upon untold millions of DS owners over the age of 12!

A pair of Mario 64 enthusiasts have reinterpreted the rules of Super Mario 64, resulting in a clever and at times hilarious way to play the Nintendo 64 classic—in short, avoid the 1UP mushroom. The secondary goal in this particular Super Mario 64 challenge is to collect all eight red coins while being consistently haunted by the mushroom. In the N64 version of the game, the mushroom has the ability to fly—at speeds slower than Mario—until it touches the player. And it will not stop following the player until it succeeds, not unlike an inverted Terminator. Yes, it takes a little while to get going, but the excitable narration, even in Japanese, is top notch. The entire series of videos can be watched at YouTube. Super Mario 64 Challenge

In July, Square Enix scored a critical hit with its redux of Final Fantasy IV for the Nintendo DS. Named a runner-up in GameSpot's 2008 DS platform awards (and the Reader's Choice winner), the role-playing game originally released in the US as Final Fantasy II for the Super Nintendo featured all-new 3D graphics, CG cutscenes with voice-overs, a remixed score by series composer Nobuo Uematsu, and a multiplayer head-to-head battle mode.
Sorry to say, but Cecil developed a drinking problem.
Now, Square Enix is hoping to follow up that that success with Final Fantasy IV's sequel on the Wii. As revealed by a listing in the Entertainment Software Rating Board's online database, the publisher is prepping Final Fantasy IV: The After Years for Nintendo's console. Though it is unclear whether or not the game will be a WiiWare digital download or boxed copy release, it is apparently based on the 2008 Japanese mobile phone game Final Fantasy IV: The After (no "Years"). Square Enix had not responded to requests for comment as of press time.
According to the ESRB's rating summary, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years will be a 2D RPG, which indicates that it will not benefit from the 3D revamp enjoyed by last year's DS game. No other details were revealed, though the ESRB did caution alcohol-sensitive parents that "an item called 'Bacchus Wine' is occasionally used to defeat enemies in battle."

Two new titles are now available to download via the WiiWare service.
First up is the excitingly titled Beer Pong: Frat Party Games. Playing on a "regulation table" with up to three of your friends, you must try to score points by throwing ping pong balls in paper cups.
Or there's Speed Pong, where you use Power-Ups to slow your opponents down. The first player to sink their balls wins.
If you're more of a winter sports person, there's Snowboard Riot. Guide your character down the slopes, grabbing items to attack your rivals and defend yourself. The game is compatible with the Wii balance board and up to four players can battle against each other.
Snowboard Riot features outfits and goggles designed by Oakley - in fact, they're from the company's 2008 range. Plus you can "ride an electro rhythm" with music by "fresh new artists" 80kidz.
Beer Pong: Frat Party Games costs 800 Wii Points (GBP 5.60 / EUR 8), while Snowboard Riot is 1000 Points (GBP 7 / EUR 10).

Rockstar has released two frankly wicked-looking videos of DS GTA entry, Chinatown Wars.
The game's out on March 20 - just two weeks before the European release of the DSi. We reckon we'll keep it in the rapper, in preparation for our inevitable impulse purchase of yet another Nintendo handheld revision.

Sales of the R4 cartridge, which allows users to play pirated DS games, have been outlawed in Japan.
According to Kotaku, the Tokyo District Court has granted an injunction against the Chinese manufacturers who produce the R4. As a result, it's officially illegal to sell the cart, and the R4 has already disappeared from shops.
Square Enix, Nintendo and Capcom have issued statements pointing out how illegal sales of the R4 are now, just to be sure, and saying they'll continue to chase down anyone producing similar devices.
It's still legal to buy an R4 in this country, though obviously downloading pirate games is bad and wrong. Who knows, perhaps our lawmakers will follow Japan's lead in future.

Nintendo of America announced a surprise new Wii game yesterday in a bumper list of release dates for the region. Excitebots: Trick Racing follows in the tradition of the Excitebike and Excite Truck arcade racers, and is out on April 20th in a bundle with the Wii Wheel accessory.
We contacted Nintendo of Europe to see if the mystery game would be coming out over here, but a spokesperson said they couldn't confirm anything at this time.
Despite its imminent release date, details on Excitebots are extremely scarce, which doesn't exactly bode well. Gamasutra says it will feature "unique and changing environments", minigames, and tricks.
Punch Out!!, the Wii revival of the NES and SNES cartoon boxing game, was also given a firm US release date in the list - 18th May. Other notable release dates include May 4th for the New Play Control! remake of the marvellous Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, and June for SEGA shooter The Conduit.
There was one notable omission - Wii Sports Resort, Nintendo's launch-pad for the Wii MotionPlus add-on, which had originally been scheduled for a second-quarter release too.
We'll bring you European release dates for these games as soon as we have them.

Today Ubisoft announced Dawn of Discovery, a real-time strategy and simulation game specifically designed for the Wii home video game system, the Nintendo DS hand held system and PC. Scheduled for release in summer 2009, Dawn of Discovery gives gamers the opportunity to explore new civilizations and build their own empire like never before through the immersive action of the Wii Remote and the DS stylus.
"Dawn of Discovery allows gamers to take the civilization-building experience to the next level of fun and interactivity," said Adam Novickas, director of marketing for Ubisoft. "We're pleased to be bringing the brand new, uniquely designed game to not only the PC and Nintendo DS, but also to Wii for the first time."
Dawn of Discovery takes place in the year 1404, when King George's land is suffering from severe droughts and brutal famine. Aware of his people's distress, the king calls on his two sons, William and Edward, to acquire new territories in order to produce enough goods to satisfy the needs of his empire's inhabitants. Whereas Edward suggests aggressive means to collect the precious resources, his brother William offers a peaceful solution, proposing to explore new and unsettled lands in the south of the kingdom. With his Father's blessing, William heads south to the mysterious Orient and returns with valuable new technologies such as the water pump that allows dry lands to be cultivated in order to produce enough food for the people. But there are still many unmet needs within the king's empire, and players are tasked with the mission of fulfilling those needs while both expanding and sustaining the vast society.
Game features include:
Build and sustain your own expansive empire
Explore the beautifully detailed world and discover new places to create your civilization
Set up trade posts in the spice mines of the Orient and explore new trade routes to keep your nation growing
Learn from other nearby cultures to expand your horizons and master the challenges of establishing a prosperous society
Developed specifically for Wii, DS and PC audiences
Unique art style and clever integration of the Wii Remote and DS stylus makes building your empire more fun and interactive than ever before
All new scalable 3-D engine ensures unmatched visuals, optimized for all PC's – from high-end to low-end desktops
Seamless user interface delivers multiple gameplay modes and faster player rewards for both long or short play sessions
Exclusive multiplayer modes across platforms
Build your civilization and make history along with a friend in the 2-player co-op mode for Wii
Integration with Ubi.com allows PC players to track achievements, climb leaderboards and challenge others online
Accessible for everyone from beginners to pros
Intelligent help system offers contextual hints for any situation
In-game encyclopedia includes illustrated tutorial filled with tips and strategies for building your civilization
Formerly known as ANNO 1404, Dawn of Discovery is the North American title of the game.

Japan was abuzz with the news earlier today that Nintendo's latest Wario Ware game may at long last have a date. Amazon.co.jp posted a listing for Me Ware (known in Japan as "Made in Ore"), flagging the DS title with an April 29 release date.
This is a particularly major entry in the Wario Ware series because it allows players to create their very own mini games. While Nintendo hasn't gotten too specific, it has said that the game will include image and sound tools, and will allow players to exchange their data with other players. This would make Me Ware the latest in Nintendo's growing line of user generated content experiments.
A few professional Japanese sites followed up on the Amazon date with reports of their own, but we're still waiting for official confirmation for Nintendo Japan. That confirmation would presumably be accompanied by first formal details on the game, so we can hopefully expect a big info blast shortly.
