Shizzy posted this news on the Gekko site:
As we are in the process of preparing the next closed beta release (N'Sider), we have decided it would be best for the project to expand our team to include new programmers. The emulator, although very far along in development, is still at a stage where there are many areas of emulation that have yet to even be touched, and the areas that have been worked on are still very incomplete and lacking features. It is simply a lot of work to keep up with with only two developers.
If you are interested in contributing to the project, please let us know what section of the project you are interested in working on (although you will not be limited by this), and your relevant programming experience. If we feel that you will be an asset to the team, we will then welcome you and provide you will all developer access. :-) Any inquiries or questions can be sent to me via forum PM. It's a great opportunity to join a very motivated team (I speak for both the developers, testers, N'Siders, and everyone else part of the project) and a very great community.
In addition, we are looking to enhance the website design. If you have interest in this, and experience, please feel free to contact me as well.
Thank you!
Eric

If the standard laws of the five-year console cycle apply to Nintendo's money-printing handheld, then said laws would dictate that the lifespan of the Nintendo DS (in its many, many forms) is nearing its end. The system's current install base of 84.1 million across the U.S., Japan and Europe is hardly anything to scoff at, and would certainly earn the device some form of lifetime achievement award at its retirement gala -- but according to Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata, the DS will break the standard five-year cycle, and further expand its install base in the years to come.
Iwata claims that should interest in the DS expand in the U.S. and Europe as it did in Japan (where nearly one in every five people currently tote the handheld), the system's install base will nearly double -- his estimate for the handheld's final tally is a nice, round 152.2 million units. That's ... a pretty specific number. We're not usually one for conspiracy theories, but we're wondering if that estimate isn't, you know, time machine-assisted.

“What we are looking at are the cumulative Wii and DS sales through the end of 2008. Wii has been selling at industry’s record pace so far, and with new customers acquired by the gaming population expansion efforts, it is not impossible for Wii’s total sales to exceed the final install base of PS2. Wii still has much more room for expansion. We can expect more sales of software in the next fiscal year than in the current year. With what kind of software is Nintendo going to achieve this goal? Well, it will be shown at E3 to be held in the U.S. this June.”
Okay, so who wants to start guessing what software will be present at this year’s E3? I’m not entirely sure myself, but at least we know Nintendo will probably have a more exciting show this year than they did last year.

loadMii is a small but powerful loader which can run executables from SD cards, USB sticks, SMB shares, USB Gecko and SD Gecko. It's composed by 3 parts : the loader itself, the reloading stub and the bootstrapper. I want to say so many thanks to dhewg and his geckoloader because my stub is based on his work.

Ah, Shootanto, the campy WiiWare game that had players shoot dinosaurs as an evolving monkey is getting a sequel. However, Grand Prix threw out all of the cheesy elements that made Shootanto memorable. Instead of blasting lizardmen in the middle ages or T-rexes in Prehistory you’re thrown into World War II fighting generic looking soldiers.
Boooring!
Shootanto: Miraihen (Shootanto: Future Chapter) is likely to be forgotten unless there is a secret stage where the main character morphs into a robot and shoots robotic lizards. Conversely, this game in the Shootanto series (I still can’t believe this is a series) has a better chance of being localized since it’s setting has been used so much. If you have a Japanese Wii handy you can pick up Shootanto: Miraihen for 600 Wii Points ($6) sometime between February and March.

Next month Japan is getting a couple of RPGs to play with as Virtual Console downloads. Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together is one of them, but don’t count on this coming out here. Even though an English translation in exists it was done by Atlus for the PlayStation release. The Super Famicom version never came out over here and it’s doubtful that Square Enix will invest in translating it themselves.
Don’t hold your breath for the Genesis port of Dragon Slayer either. Nihon Falcom probably doesn’t have a translated version of the Genesis ROM lying around in a closet.
What games can we expect in North America after seeing this Virtual Console list? Galaxy Force II, Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars, and maybe Wallaby!! Usagi no Kuni no Kangaroo Race. I’m kidding about the last one, but it would be amusing if Nintendo gave a green light to an obscure game with kangaroo races taking place in a kingdom run by rabbits.
Here is Japan’s Virtual Console list for February 2009. Games marked with a star come out on February 3.
Famicom (500 Wii Points)
Formation Z*
Super Famicom (800 Wii Points)
Tactics Ogre
Master System (500 Wii Points)
Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars
Mega Drive (600 Wii Points)
Galaxy Force II
Dragon Slayer (premium title sold for 700)
PC Engine (600 / 800 Wii Points)
L-Dis*
Ghouls ‘n Ghosts*
Winning Shot
Super Darius 2
Wallaby!! Usagi no Kuni no Kangaroo Race

The Wii has a flood of fishing games. The DS not so much. Hudson’s solution? Adapt their Fishing Master series for Nintendo’s handheld.
Mezase! Tsuri Master DS does away with motion control and uses the touch screen for fishing. Hudson included wireless four player support which seems like it will be used for on the fly fishing battles. There is Nintendo Wi-Fi support too, but whatever it does hasn’t been announced. Hudson should talk about it soon since Mezase! Tsuri Master DS is slated to come out on April 23.

via Gizmodo UK
If you've been hotly anticipating the launch of the Nintendo DSi since it was announced last October, then first of all we'd ask you 'why?' and secondly tell you that it has been confirmed for a UK release in the Spring.
This will follow a swathe of new titles including GTA: Chinatown Wars, Mystery Case Files: Millionheir and Rhythm Paradise, though we're yet to hear of a platform-buster that'll make enough use of the DSi's new features to kick-start sales.
Considering it's already been confirmed that the new console will be R4-proof (along with other related homebrew cartridges) we're not convinced it'll get off to a great start.
Despite the fact that the company has appeared all but untouchable in the console market, it might need these sales more than you'd think, as Nintendo has rather surprisingly slashed its full-year profit forecasts by 33%. This has led experts to predict that the 'Wii-boom' may now be over, citing it as a 'baffling and potentially very worrying' sign for the console.
It's not the only one either, with Sony announcing some rather depressing statistics for its own range, whose figures showed a decline of between 15% and 51% for the last three months of 2008.
Will the madness never end?

Analyst Dough Creutz of Cowen Group believes GTA: Chinatown Wars is as much a test for Take-Two as it is for Nintendo. Gamasutra reports on Creutz's bullish investor note, where he expresses that the title will reveal Take-Two's "ability to make inroads" on Nintendo's platforms.
On the flip side, he expresses that Nintendo wants Chinatown Wars to succeed because it appeals to core gamers, whom Creutz apparently thinks Nintendo still gives a Yoshi's turd about.
