A rather unusual trademark was registered by Nintendo of Japan. On October 24th, 2008 the house of Mario registered the rights to use Napoleon for video games. We’ve seen Nintendo overzealously protect DSi-everything, but Napoleon? Is the big N’s next big game a tactics title with a deceased French military leader? Since EA making a game based on Dante’s Inferno anything is possible, but I wouldn’t bet on Napoleon Bonaparte starring in a Nintendo published game.
Napoleon is also the name of a Hearts-like card game in Japan. Between the possibilities of Super Napoleon Brothers and a WiiWare and/or DSiWare version of the card game I have to go with the latter. Still, it’s strange to see Nintendo spend money to register Napoleon. Maybe they think they have the next Solitaire for Japan or something?

2009 approaches, yet still, no official word from Nintendo of America on when the DSi will be released in the US. Until that official date comes, then, we have to make do with official timeframes.
Previously, we've had two conflicting statements. NoA boss Reggie Fils-Aime first said in October that the handheld wouldn't be out until the end of 2009, so as to allow current stocks of the DS Lite to sell through.
A few weeks later, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata told Reuters "an autumn or year-end launch [in the US] would probably be too late". Having come later and from the top man himself, we're taking the latter as the more definitive statement.
Now, we've got IGN's end-of-year review for the DS, in which they first said Nintendo of America had confirmed a March 2009 launch, before later correcting the story to state NoA "will wait until at least March of 2009 before giving the system the US push it deserves".
So, those feeling the need to upgrade their DS hardware, you'll get your shot sometime between March and August.

Before we get to the actual information, we have to take a moment to give Curtis his promised momentary fame for coming up with the name for this weekly feature. So without further ado:
CURTIS!
Now, with that behind us:
Strong Bad Episode 5: 8-Bit Is Enough (Telltale Games, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points): In this final (for this season, at least) installment, Strong Bad does battle with Trogdor. Our money's on the dragon with a man's arm.
Big Kahuna Party (Reflexive Entertainment Inc., 1-4 players, 700 Wii Points): "So, it's a match three game with a few bells and whistles, how much do we think we can get away with charging? Pearson?"
"Umm, how about eight dollars?"
"Well, let's not go crazy."
Enduro Racer (Sega Master System, 1 player, 500 Wii Points): We like Enduro Racer, if for no other reason than the title espousing the value of endurance over speed. "Just hang in there," Enduro Racer says, "just hang in there and you'll eventually finish the race." That's the kind of tortoise-beats-hare logic we can get behind.

Rockstar Games has dated DS GTA entry Chinatown Wars, which will be out in North America and Europe on March 17 and 20.
Developed by Rockstar Leeds, the DS game is a old school top-down affair following the dirty business of Chinese triads in Liberty City. You can also deal drugs in the game, which is sure to delight the Daily Mail.
"Rockstar Leeds have once again created a game that far exceeds our standard for deep and innovative entertainment," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games.
"We are incredibly excited to share this enormous and uncompromising Grand Theft Auto experience with DS fans."

If anyone is interested to continue this project or to take some parts of it (by exemple all notes in raw format) i've published the sources on my blog.

Pinecone has released his own DevkitPPC installer for Mac OSX Leopard for the latest release from the Devkit toolchain, r16. It is VERY untested, so please use at your own risk.
It can be downloaded from here.
What it is
The package installs the minimum you need for creating and building Wii and Gamecube apps, which includes LibOGC and some compiler trickery (don't ask me how it works: I have no idea). It also includes, as did the previous installer, an Xcode template for creating both Wii and Gamcube apps. This is all installed automatically.
