Nippon Ichi, the Disgaea series developer, are taking their talents to the Wii. On November 4th the company signed a contract to become an official Wii developer. Knowing the savvy Siliconera audience you’re probably aware of this already. Inside a long list of WiiWare games Nippon Ichi’s first title was inadvertently announced.
Let’s Hitchhike (temporary name) is slated for a March 2009 release on WiiWare in Japan. We still don’t know anything else about it, but it sure doesn’t sound related to Disgaea. So, how long will it be until a thousand prinnies are chained to a thousand computers to make a Disgaea game for the Wii?

Is Playing on the Wii actually any good for you? Kotaku was all over this from the start - check out our groundbreaking study - but apparently the Lancet don't take papers from gaming blogs. Their loss.
Proper scientists (well, 'sports scientists', but they have doctorates and everything) from the University of Derby in the UK have decided to conduct their own investigation. Researchers are monitoring groups of primary school children to see if Wii gaming helps them to lose weight.
"We hope this research will determine if playing on this equipment could actually have physical benefits for children.", said exercise physiology lecturer Dr Michael Duncan.

Nintendo has confirmed to MCV that today's reports claiming that SD-card based piracy hardware the R4 will not work with the upcoming DSi are correct.
The platform holder was not able to confirm whether this is a deliberate feature of the newly redesigned handheld. However, judging by recent history it’s not unreasonable to presume this is the case.

Overclocking the Nintendo DS is hardly anything new, but the mod-happy folks at XCM look to be taking a decidedly different approach with their new Hyper Gear case which, as you can see above, is actually a full-on replacement case for the currently non-hyper DS Lite. That approach gives you the added advantage of selectable turbo speeds and, of course, a rapid fire switch, both of which, as Technabob points out, will likely take quite a toll on battery life. No word on a price just yet, but it'll apparently be available from at least a few of the usual modding retailers in the next few weeks.

News from Steve Corey:
I'm starting to finalize the 0.4 release of WiiDoom now. I hope to release this within 2 weeks (at the most). It's take a lot of work, but I've got a WAD loader working now. It will launch before the WiiDoom engine (of course), and will allow you to select the version of doom (IWAD), and any additional levels (PWADs) you want loaded. I'm still touching up the graphics for it, and will continue to polish it even after this release. I'll post a screenshot in the next few days.
Music is still a challenge for WiiDoom. The SDL_mixer for the wii is absolute garbage. I haven't found anyone who's gotten it to work. I'm going to have to use an additional library to play the MIDI/MP3 music file. That's something that I should get working on the next release (but we'll see).
Anyways, thanks for your support, and start getting your PWADs ready!!!!

The Japanese version of My Pokemon Ranch got a major update today across the pond, bringing the WiiWare title up to full "Platinum" status.
Pokemon fanatics have probably already figured out what that means. That's right, your Pokemon collection from Pokemon Platinum (currently available in Japan only) can now be transferred over to Pokemon Ranch! For those who need solid numbers, you can now handle up to 1,500 Pokemon on your ranch.
The update adds a number of other features as well, including selectable background music and new events. In the screen shots we've included in our media section below, you'll find shots of your ranch grounds becoming a pool!
In Japan, the update replaces the old version of Pokemon Ranch and will retain the current 1,000 WiiPoint price point. Owners of the older version can upgrade for free.

There are many more Nintendo Wi-Fi community features for Shiren’s second DS game and these are things you can’t experience from playing it at Tokyo Game Show (thanks for the tip crow!!). In addition to dungeon rescues introduced in the previous DS Shiren game, Mystery Dungeon Shiren the Wanderer DS 2: Demon Castle in the Desert has competitive modes like online leaderboards measuring player scores and a time attack mode. But, the Shiren games are more about random acts of kindness so Sega has some new friendly features too.
In Mystery Dungeon Shiren the Wanderer DS 2: Demon Castle in the Desert you can directly trade items with players (yes!) and send other players training dungeon. What? I’m a bit baffled by this. Crow suggests these training dungeons might be something like Fey’s Puzzles and this feature lets players recommend one of them. Or maybe training dungeons are easy opening dungeons for item farming?
The other question on my mind is if we’re going to see another Shiren game get localized. I was pretty optimistic about Shiren being an international series and Tokyo Game Show would have been the right place for Sega to make an announcement. Instead we got a greenlight for Phantasy Star Universe Portable. Well, even if Shiren DS 2 comes over you won’t be getting this as a random prize for purchasing the game.

This should be obvious news since Nintendo built the DSi with a new firmware, but it doesn’t work with existing flash cards. Sorry, legitimate homebrew community. How do we know this for sure? One Nico Nico user tested twenty eight different flash cards. I can’t believe this many flash cards exist in the hands of a single person.

What, you didn't think they'd stop at brain training, fitness and music games, did you? Nunh unh. Oh boy, Nintendo are just getting started. Next on their agenda is to make a game - or at least a piece of software - that makes learning about the economy fun. To repeat: that makes learning about the economy fun. They're partnering with Nikkei on the software, which is destined for the DS, and will have users "tapping on the devices' touch-screen panels and answering a series of quizzes" in the hope that "the software will attract young people who are interested in the economy".
Hopefully this signals the beginning of a trend in which Nintendo make games based on Iwata's favourite pastimes and hobbies, instead of that Miyamoto guy's.

While buying the DSi over the weekend (which, hey, we are giving away!), I was struck how pretty much all stores were running a very strict one-per-person policy. Yet, it should come as no surprised sellers hogging the DSi are popping up on Yahoo! Auctions.
Game site Siliconera points to seller beikapx, who's got something like 50 DSis all on the auction block, all of course marked up. The seller's feedback isn't so hot, and folks don't seem to be biting. We have a feeling lots of shoppers got burned badly during DS Lite mania a few years back and maybe are more willing to wait until the portable becomes widely available.

Thieves have stolen two trucks from the docks in the Swedish city of Gothenburg. Inside the trucks were "thousands" of red, black and white DS Lite handhelds, valued at "millions" of Sweden's awesomely-named Kronor. For a country which is already suffering from a shortage of DS units, this is bad news, as the theft will leave many retailers without any DS to sell this Christmas. Police suspect it was an inside job, we'd like to think it was a crack Sony-funded team of truck-driving ninja thieves.

While I've long been a supporter of the custom console movement, sometimes I see a project that really makes me wonder what the point is. Take this portable, Gameboy-sized NES, based off of a Super Joy III Nintendo clone. Sure, it's slightly smaller than the original Gameboy and contains 72 built-in games, but oh my god is it hideous to look at. "But it's all about the convenience!" you say? I have at least five devices within my reach that are smaller, prettier, and more than capable of tackling an 8-bit Nintendo title should I deem it necessary.
I say if you really, really want to make a tiny, portable NES, at least make it look less like Doctor Who prop from the late 70's and more like something you'd actually want to play a game on. Hit the link for more pictures, sadly not including ones of the sliced-up thumb after it gets caught on the hastily-cut metal sheeting.

Konami's questionable tandem of arm flailing and vampire hunting will be afflicted by Dracula's Curse when Castlevania Judgment ships for the Wii later this month. The company revealed the final three characters set to duke it out in the upcoming fighter, including Castlevania III's diminutive thief, Grant Danasty, and Trevor Belmont's main squeeze, Sypha.
The pair will be joined by Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness' Cornell, who in addition to having to deal with the inevitable ups and downs of being a Nintendo 64-era werewolf, also shoulders the dubious distinction of being perhaps the only fighter to see his in-game appearance actually improve.

via Games Industry
Sega has pulled an advert for its maraca rhythm game, Samba De Amigo, following a complaint by the animal rights activist group, PETA, over the use of chimpanzee 'actors'.
PETA contacted the videogames publisher over the video commercial for the new Wii game and registered its complaint. Upon hearing PETA's allegations of abuse used by trainers against chimpanzee actors the company apparently pulled the advert.
"We're officially bananas about Sega," commented the animal rights group on it's blog.
"After learning that Sega used a real chimpanzee in an online video promoting Samba De Amigo we contacted the company... We explained how involuntary chimpanzee 'actors' are taken away from their mothers when they are just a year or so old," the post explained.
"We also explained some of the horrible methods that chimpanzee 'trainers' use, such as electric shocks with shock collars and prods, isolation, beatings with sawed-off pool cues and slapjacks, and food deprivation."
"Sega pulled the video from its site and promised to keep all great apes out of its ads!"
