Razored is back with a new emulator for fans of Atari Classics and this time it supports the Atari 800/XL/XE/5200, heres the release info:
WiiXL v0.1 release README
--------------------------------------------
Ported by raz0red
[ http://www.twitchasylum.com]
--------------------------------------------
What is WiiXL?
--------------------------------------------
WiiXL is a port of the Atari800 emulator 2.0.3 to the Wii.
The Atari800 emulator is a free and portable Atari 800/XL/XE/5200 emulator,
originally written by David Firth and now developed by the Atari800 Development
Team [ http://atari800.sourceforge.net/].
--------------------------------------------
Current status
--------------------------------------------
WiiXL is definitely a work in progress. At this point much of the emulator's
extended functionality is only accessible via a USB keyboard. While most of the
common buttons/keys have been mapped to the Wii/GameCube controllers others
are unavailable (HELP, PAUSE, etc.). Also, if you attempt to use functionality
such as state loading/saving you will be prompted to enter a file name. Until
a virtual keyboard is implemented, this must be accomplished via USB keyboard.
I will also be adding user-defined key mappings in a subsequent release.
--------------------------------------------
Installation
--------------------------------------------
To install WiiXL, simply extract the zip file that this README was distributed
with directly to your SD card (retain the hierarchical structure exactly).
WiiXL includes the Atari 800/XL/XE BIOS, OS, and BASIC ROM files.
However, it does NOT include the Atari 5200 ROM file. If you want play Atari
5200 games you must obtain the ROM file, "5200.rom", and place it in the WiiXL
application directory (/apps/wiixl).
Disk and cartridge images should be placed in the software directory
(wiixl/software).

The Wii Doom author posted this on his site:
Because of the imminent death of the Twilight Hack, and not having enough time when I'm home, I'm stepping away from WiiDoom. If anyone would like to take over this project, let me know and I'll hand over the GoogleCode site. It's been so much fun working on this, and I'm very grateful for everyone's support.
I may resume work on this or another project in the future. We'll see....

Virtual vandalism? Yes, please. Check out this prototype for a new toy from Wii, the Wii Spray. The spraypaint can-styled casing holds a hacked up Wii controller that is used to manipulate virtual graffiti on a monitor.
The use of WiiSpray is similar of using a real spray can – sans the color and the toxic smells. All you techie heads out there can make your own by simply combining Adobe Flash, a WiiFlashServer and the Nintendo Wii® device.
The idea is that it can provide some sort of social media or public tagging spectacle to allow users all over the globe to work on the same piece of art. Best of all, you can bet there are a wide variety of colors, spray caps, and tagging techniques included.
Now if you’re either too scared to actually hit up the streets or just don’t want to harm public property, you can still get a bit of the thrill of spraypaint (almost.)

As you can see, the ESRB is all set to start listing DSiware. And we're all ready to start snooping them out once they get rated. The page, for now, is empty.
Of course, we're all wondering what rating the Tokyo rail map and the alarm clock will pull down once that content is in the pipe for North America. Or blackjack. That sounds mature to me.

Get ready to save Tokyo from a demon invasion. Atlus is bringing us Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor on June 23 just like a little leak predicted. Devil Survivor is the first Shin Megami Tensei game for the Nintendo DS and unlike the other games it’s a sort of like a strategy RPG. Players move COMPS, teenage demon tamers, and their fiendish friends on an isometric grid, but when it’s time to fight combat switches into a turn based RPG. Think Archaic Sealed Heat.
Outside of battle it’s up to you to solve the mystery of the demon invasion, fuse demons to make stronger allies or sell them in brand new demon auctions. A modified version of the alignment system from classic Shin Megami Tensei games is back too since you can ally with angels, demons, or nobody and rely on yourself. Your choices will change the story and eventually determine one of the multiple endings. Sounds like Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor is going to have a lot of replay value for a $29.99 DS game.

You might think that Nintendo doesn't care about you, long-time Nintendo customer, but it does. That's what reader (and Nintendo überfan) Chris discovered, when a thank you note from president Reggie Fils-Aime arrived this week.
Why was this particular Nintendo fan singled out? His 118 product registrations filed at the My Nintendo fan club. The nosy Nintendo president and Chief Operating Officer wrote "During the transition from My Nintendo to Club Nintendo, I noticed just how many product registrations you have on file, and I was very impressed." That's right. All Club Nintendo submissions are personally reviewed by the Reggienator.
"I can tell you are a huge Nintendo fan, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your years of support," the letter read. Sure, it's a form letter and Reggie's signature is printed, but it's the thought that counts. Right?
As someone who semi-regularly receives far less cordial letters from corporate executives and public relations people, color me jealous. Anyone else get one?

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has no problem admitting Wii Music didn't live up to the company's expectations, but he doesn't want you to consider it a failure, either. During a recent Q&A session, he spoke about the company's hopes regarding Wii Music, as well as the difficulty Nintendo has had with consumer reception.
"There are people who highly appreciate it and those who do not appreciate it at all," Iwata said, adding that perceptions can be changed. It's all about word of mouth to him, as he said, "A cycle is born where people who have hands-on experience can immediately understand its appeal, easily explain the positive experience they had to those around them, who then spread that information to the others." That works, unless you're a blog who pretty unanimously hated it and told everyone how you felt.
With Wii Music, the company was never able to achieve this "positive cycle," and Iwata says Nintendo now needs to "reevaluate" why it hasn't been able to "clear that hurdle." Nintendo, here's a protip from us: Emphasize that it has a dog suit and beatboxing. You might sell a few extra copies if you push that.

anomalous_underdog posted a new release of his test editor for DS:
Preliminary File Save/Load Dialog Box created. It doesn't do much besides showing your top level files and selecting them; its a work in progress. Press select to toggle the file save/load dialog box.
In other news, I'm gonna start learning how to drive tomorrow! Wish me luck. Still a bit confused about the clutch, break and gas pedals. hehe
minor update: revision 122 released.
folders are now displayed on the left hand side of the file save/load dialog box. you can now pretty much browse your whole filesystem here.
some small bugs:
display of long filenames/folder names are truncated to fit on the small screen (horizontal scrollbars are not implemented yet)
selecting a long filename will make the textbox overflow its text

Headstrong Games believe House Of The Dead: Overkill shows what the Wii is capable of.
In another one of Overkill's Making Of promotional trailers, lead Artist Mark Slater said "The Wii is perfectly capable of generating great visuals."
You can see how good House Of The Dead Overkill looks in the new trailer and environment artist Paul Herbert believes that the game offers something different to anything we've experienced on the console: "I think we'll be able to show what the hardware can do for a change. A lot of the games so far have been very colourful, very cutesy - I've felt they've not particularly pushed the boundaries of the hardware."
Pushing the boundaries is something that level designer Jake May thinks that House Of The Dead: Overkill has achieved. "I think we've got one of the best looking games on the Wii at the moment. I think we've raised the bar."

Later this month European Wii owners are getting some third-person shooter action in the form of Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre. Based on a character from UK comic book 2000 AD, players control a genetically engineered badass.
"The tactical use of stealth as well as the all-out action fit perfectly with the Nintendo Wii interface, providing exciting and immersive gameplay," said Peter Rezon, managing director of publisher Reef Entertainment. "Rogue has a cult following from when he first appeared in 2000 AD and we have returned to the original storyline for the Wii version of the game to remind people how Rogue came about, but it is the strong characters and storyline which will have great appeal for gamers of all types. We believe this will become one of the very best shooter titles ever available on Nintendo Wii."
Rogue Trooper will be released in Europe on February 27. IGN is awaiting information on a North American release. The official website does appear to list the game for a Q1 release in the States.

The Metroid Prime trilogy is about to be completed on the Wii over in Japan with the February 19 release of the New Play Control version of Metroid Prime followed by a later release for Metroid Prime 2. But more Metroid Prime content could be on the way!
Nintendo opened up a Japanese portal site for the franchise today, offering looks at the two Wiimakes and Metroid Prime Corruption. The point of note is at the bottom of the page, with a couple of lines of text reading "Another Side Story -coming soon-" and "The Metroid Prime history followed from the perspective of a space pirate."
Is this a new game in the series? That would seem a bit doubtful. It's more likely that this will be some sort of web-based content detailing a side story.
Whatever this mystery item turns out to be, we hope Nintendo is quick about an English translation!
Also notable off the portal site is a link to an official Japanese website for the Wii-make of Metroid Prime. The page offers images showing off the new control scheme (we uploaded some videos yesterday that do just that!). More importantly, the page confirms that the game will not support the GameCube controller, meaning you'd better get used to the new Corruption-style control scheme.
