The Wii, in a continuing effort to catch up to the online functionality of its fellow home consoles, will be getting its first streaming video service later this month when the Minna No Theater Wii channel hits the Japanese WiiWare market. The service will offer animated programs (such as Transformers and Astro Boy) on a rental basis, in which Wii Points can be spent to purchase a title for a certain amount of time.
Fujisoft, the creator of the service, made an appearance at CES to confirm that they're hoping to bring Minna No Theater to the States within the year, provided that negotiations with Nintendo of America (who are reportedly introducing their own video streaming service, albeit for original content, sometime this year) go smoothly and expediently. While we'd find it difficult to spend Wii Points on things that aren't Clu Clu Land, we're interested to see what they'll have to offer.

It's Monday again, and you know what that means: A new rogue's gallery is easing its way onto the Virtual Console/WiiWare. Let's take a look.
WiiWare:
High Voltage Hot Rod Show (High Voltage Software, Inc., 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points): It may not be saying much, but this is as close as we usually get to being excited about a WiiWare game. It's not a great title, but the video we put after the break of this stunted and stunty racer actually looks like fun. If you're gonna pick up one thing this week, we'd recommend this.
Family Glide Hockey (Aksys Games, 1-4 players, 500 Wii Points): On the other hand, we were able to get through about 20 seconds of this video before we told Damien it was all for him and hung ourselves.
Virtual Console:
M.U.S.H.A. (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Seven levels of classic shmuppy madness. Oh, in case you were curious, it stands for Metallic Uniframe Super Hybrid Armor. ... It's OK, we needed a second to absorb it too.

Australia's governmental ratings board, the OFLC, has classified the unabashedly violent MadWorld with an "MA 15+" rating. Sega informed IGN that the game was not "edited or adjusted" for the land down under. Last week, the title received an "18" rating in Britain, and having now passed both the BBFC and the OFLC, it's expected that the United States' ESRB will hand the title a "Mature" sticker.
It's certainly interesting that Australia let the game pass with an MA 15+, at least based on the footage and images we've seen. For better or worse, perhaps the region is loosening up its policies in lieu of implementing an R18+ rating for games.

While progress is being made in piracy, broadband penetration and the high definition console market, it's unlikely that Russia is "the right market" for Nintendo's current generation of hardware.
Despite ruling virtually every other territory that they have launched in, the Wii and DS have struggled to make an impact on the growing Russian market, according to GFI's head of international licensing and acquisition, Inna Bukatina.
"Firstly people in Russia prefer products that are more universal, that can be used for a number of different purposes," she told GamesIndustry.biz. "For example, a PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable can be used for games, or films, and so on.
"But the Wii is only for games, and for very specific kinds of games. The gaming society in Russia is pretty young, and I remember when Nintendo attempted to attract more people from older demographics - they put on their last slide a babushka, an old woman, in a headscarf sitting in the countryside and playing on a DS... but actually it's very hard to see that really happening in Russia.
"I know that in other parts of Europe, older age ranges are playing these games, but in Russia they don't know what to do with it - they never owned a computer, and probably never worked with a device that's more technical than a telephone, for example."
Bukatina did concede that for the older generations the DS might be given as a gift, but also revealed that the platform faced another problem.
"The DS has a following, but there's a lot of piracy there too, and it's of course much more expensive than the GameBoy," she said.
The full interview with Inna Bukatina, in which she also talks about the progress of the Russian market as a whole, is available now.

Something different from Clintorion
I believe this is, indeed, the first real-time mmorpg playable on DS!
I started this little project just to see if my idea would work.
Here's the disappointing part: It's not a download!
You have to point your Opera DS browser to the site: http://mmorpg.clint.f-sw.com
All is done with CSS, Javascript and PHP.
Here's a quick screenie:
The icons on the right do the following (in order from top to bottom):
(speech bubble) - opens/closes chat
(inventory) - shows items. cannot open equip yet, but there are items to equip, which open the equipment when you click them.
(fight screen) - displays battle text, shows stats of enemy.
(player info) - click this to see the stats of whoever you have selected. Used to initiate fighting and alternate way to send PMs in game.
(pvp switch) - turn pvp on/off. green=on, red=off. Some areas are no pvp, some are forced pvp.
(X) - Logout of the game. (you must log out, failing to do so causes problems when you try to log back in)
(refresh) - refreshes the game whenever you want (automatically done every couple seconds)
Well, I hope you enjoy the very first DS compatible MMORPG!
If you have any comments or questions, please send them to
FriQ@ymail.com (pronounced "freak")
Edit>>
Chat Commands:
s] [message] - Shouts a message to all characters in the game.
][charactername] [message] - Private message
Examples:
s] Hey, what's up?
"Player (s): Hey, what's up?" - seen by all players.
]Mario Hey, come fight me.
On Luigi's screen: "<<[PM] to Mario: Hey, come fight me."
Mario's screen: ">>[PM] from Luigi: Hey, come fight me."

The Rogue Clone for DS/GBA and PSP has been updated, heres whats new:
A 65535 enum added for TILE_NAMES to placate the gcc 4.3 compiler. (Malte Helmert, Joe B, Magnate)
>string.h< is the correct header. (Joe B)
Clean scripts improved to clean more stuff so I don't release with a broken support directory again. (Joe B)
Executable bit removed from CREDITS.TXT and LICENCE.TXT. (Malte Helmert)
Animated Trees no longer randomly generated in the dungeon, they are meant to only exist as a result of summons. (Kayvon, Gwazi01)
If Baezlb'b's heart grants life save, he will no longer have his life saved, and, more importantly, the heart will no longer be destroyed. (Stefan O'Rear)
When you convert a flesh golem into a stone golem it will no longer report both names. (Lim-Dul)
"You stop over concerns of your safety." now has an r in concerns. (eilu)
Spells you don't know now show up greyscale in the action bar. Similarly, if you can't cast it due to not enough mana, it is greyed out proportionaly to how much mana is needed.
Inventory background is coloured according to your knowledge of the item, making it easier to separate out cursed/holy/regular. This also distinguishes between items you have tried on (so you know they are not cursed) vs ones you haven't tried. (Irashtar)
You can mark items as favorite. This causes them to get a yellow background in the inventory and always be sorted first. (Pikadude No. 1)
Weapons have the e in them when you forget the dual wield skill. (Joe B)
Text for animate forest spell and creature tweaked to better align with the normal English speaker's concept of grammar.
Did I mention I finished a book, Menoetius? I did? Well, I'll just bury a reference in this wall of text anyways.
The buildall.sh script for Linux has been updated to try and make it more ebuild compatible thanks to work by Zasenko Sergey. I may have misread his patch, however, so problems in this version are likely my fault.

Björn Giesler has released a new version of Fuse for the Nintendo Wii, heres the release details:
Fuse is the Free Unix Spectrum Emulator by Philip Kendall, an emulator for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, a home computer that was very popular in the 80s.
Snapshot 2
Pretty much untouched port created by Björn, but rebuilt against the Fuse 0.10.0.2 (list of changes here)
Changed the way menu is navigated, now it's navigated using Wii Remote in horizontal position, just like in emulation
Fixed toggling the checkboxes in the options - press Right on Wii Remote to toggle the option
This snapshot has been compiled with zlib, so the application now supports .tzx and .rzx

yohanes, the author of Wiiapple, has released a port of Hatari for the Wii, an Atari ST emulator. The Wiimote can be used as Mouse, there is currently no Atari Joystick support.
Heres the full release info:
After wiiapple, here is an atari st emulator for Wii based on hatari. This port works fine on my Wii. Two other people have tested it, one (Da_Gper) said it is very slow on his Wii, but Nowhereman said it is fine in his Wii. So please tell me you test result. If it works fine for most people, I will post it to wiibrew.
Some notes
You will need USB keyboard to use this emulator
Mouse is emulated using Wiimote (A for click), you can also use USB Mouse
Press F12 to access the menu (probably i should assign one of the Wiimote key for this),
Options can be saved to disk
Press home, or alt-q to quit
Floppy images can be placed in \hatari\fd
EmuTOS image have been included. With EmuTOS ROM, the green screen flickers a lot. It doesn’t happen with some real Atari ROMs that I tested.
Sound works (usually), jus enable it through the options
then today he also updated with this release:
I have made a stupid mistake by including wrong default configuration files (which is slow). I have updated the Atari ST emulator. Here is what is new:
- Wiimote only operation is possible. Not all things will work though. You can play point and click games that relies only on mouse. Press HOME to access the menu (change disk, change ROM, etc). To avoid wasting your time, you can test the game on Hatari for Windows/Linux to see if you can control everything using only mouse.
- I have included a simple flicker filtering to reduce the filtering. This is not the final solution to the problem. I will need to rewrite the SDL port to use GX.
Note:
- Mono mode still doesn’t work yet.

The NPD numbers for December 2008 and the overall year are in, and among the many other best-selling Nintendo games is the three-year old Mario Kart DS. The portable game was the eighth best-selling game last month, and the tenth best-selling game of the year. This thing is three years old! How is that possible?!
Mario Kart Wii was number four in December and number two for the entire year. Surely sales of the DS game were encouraged by the popularity of the new Wii edition. The portable game sold over half a million copies in December, which was a third of its total sales for the year.
Mario Kart DS has now sold a total of 4.3 million units in the 38 months of its life.
