To the common eye, DSi could look identical to the DS Lite. Nintendo clearly doesn't want that, so it's released a video that runs through each and every feature.
It's great - you get a nice lengthy look at all the new menus, the wacky camera functionality, some of the crazy sound-bending stuff it can do to music or your voice, the DSi shop, the new PictoChat and more.
It's so comprehensive you won't even mind that it's all in Japanese (soz). Anyway, take a look here.

Is the disc slot on your Wii glowing blue this morning? It should be, because Nintendo has released a firmware update that makes some changes to the Wii Shop.
After updating, Wii Points will be called Nintendo Points, as Nintendo announced they would when DSi was revealed, but they will otherwise work the same.
The Wii Shop's also seen some minor changes. Nintendo having changed the icons for them and adding a new prompt to confirm you have the controllers before being able to press the purchase button, according to translations of the Japanese Store update text.
Seems it wants to make damn sure all those non-gaming mums have the right 'newfangled' gadgets for the games they purchase.
Other than that, all remains the same. And no, we can't tell you if it break that home-made channel.

The Balance Wii Board is being put to use in a new way thanks to Studio Zan. The Japanese development house who previously worked on the PSP version of Dungeon Explorer for Hudson shared first details and screens today on Overturn, a new WiiWare title that lets players use the Wii Fit peripheral as a control option.
In Overturn, you take control of a mech and face off against rivals on the battle field. One of the big selling points seems to be how you control the mech: by leaning your body on the Balance Wii Board. We're going to also guess that standard controls are included as well, but you can bet we'll be trying out the new control scheme first just to see how well it works.
Studio Zan is packing Overturn full of multiplayer options. Locally, two players can battle in either vertical or horizontal split screen. Network play allows for four player team-based or battle royal gameplay via Wi-Fi Connect, along with network rankings.
A single player story mode is included as well, letting you experience a storyline from the perspective of a variety of different characters. Clearing missions in this mode will earn you customization parts for your mechs.
In Japan, Overturn will hit WiiWare this November. Release information outside of Japan has yet to be announced.

Konami has held some key autumn releases back until Q1 2009, including new Lost in Blue and Castlevania instalments for Wii and DS.
Those heading to early next year are Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked! (Wii), Lost in Blue 3 (DS), Castlevania: Judgement (Wii) and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS).
Rock Revolution, the guitar and drum-based rhythm action game, is also down for a Q1 2009 release. That's the first we've heard of it.
Konami shouldn't be too bothered, though, what with the recent release of chart-topper Pro Evolution Soccer 2009. Will PES 2009 stay ahead of FIFA 09 for a second week, though? We shall see. And you will too, assuming you care enough to click through.

Rage Wireless Guitars for the Wii are being recalled in the US over safety concerns.
The controllers have a defective circuit board which can cause AA batteries to leak, with a risk of causing chemical burns to users.
According to manufacturer Performance Designed Products, one consumer has been harmed by the peripheral, which were manufactured in China and retail between USD 40 and USD 80.
The company estimates that around 57,000 units have been sold, and consumers are urged to stop using the peripheral and return them to the store they were purchased from for a full refund.
Last month, PDP acquired UK motion sensing firm In2Games, makers of the Gametrak products.

Gemesis posted a news update to his Smash Bros game for DS:
Ok, i finally got the chance to come here and give an update:
first off, i did not help them with their demo. I have however been working on mine. not as much, but i have been working on it. the main issue i am having is the fact that it has suddenly stopped working on my max media dock. its weird, because this started as soon as i started to use 64X64 sprites. i am looking at other stuff just to be sure. any info on this would be helpful though, because i will most likely release a demo then. here is what is going on with it:
-no compiling errors
-works fine in emulator
-does not even start up on mmd (screen freezes)
-BUGGING ME 2 DEATH
other than this minor setback, it looks great! thanks to Brawl69 and Cheesecake i have a total of 10 characters!!! 14 levels!!!!!!! and tons to do. only pikachu, shadow, knuckles, and samus don't have anything to fight, and there a very few attacks. but other than that, the game looks really good. i do have menu music as well. i plan to add in more attacks after the demo, that way everyone can try it out first. also, i might release the demo and then work on some other things. turns out that for one of my classes they will allow me to do a game for extra credit, so i figured i do it to help me learn more, and to boost up my grades. anyways, if i can figure out this bug, i plan on doing another youtube video, and than releasing the demo soon after. so yeah, all help is appreciated.
on the side note:
i figured out how to get palib working 99.99999999999999999999999% on Microsoft Visual Studio 2008! the only that doesn't work is the including of .h files. however, it's very easy to get around that. plus i did it on Windows Vista! so if anyone needs help with that then feel free to ask.

News via drunkencoders
We just released the first revision of DS brut, an open source hardware prototyping platform for the Nintendo DS. An inexpensive cartridge for Slot-1 provides for basic UART, up to 6 GPIO lines, up to three ports for PWM, up to two ADCs and I²C bus - all accessible from within your homebrew NDS code.
The cartridges embedded microcontroller can be easily reprogrammed via its serial port. We are also releasing the LGPL-licensed firmware and an accompanying library for the Nintendo DS that handles communication with the device and hides all complexity behind Arduino-style function calls (think analogRead()) that help you get things done in a couple of lines code!
We'll be shipping out the first batch of cartridges sometime next week and looking forward for your creations with this tool!

News/release from Tona
This program will download IOS36 from the Nintendo update servers, patch it, and install it as IOS249--making a completely functional "clone" of Waninkoko's cIOS. This process does not involve any system-critical parts of the system, and should be completely safe. Of course, however, this software comes with no warranty whatsoever.
Also, if this applications detects IOS249 installed, it will attempt uninstallation. So... You can run it once to install, run it again to uninstall. Pretty simple.
Why
Waninkoko's cIOS patches are useful, but a couple of barriers prevent many people from installing it. One, the normal installer requires someone "find," build, or dump an IOS WAD. Two, some people feel an aversion to Waninkoko's applications (on which I have no comment). Patchmii has been out for longer than cIOS, and it's perfect for the task. I finally found a use for cIOS and decided this might be useful in helping surmount the aforementioned barriers.
Differences
All of the patches are the same as in Waninkoko's cIOS. Although I haven't checked, I'd be willing to bet that the patched IOS modules have the same produced sha-1 hash as Waninkoko's installer generates. Except for Content 0 ;-)
Changelog
rev05 v1: (Download Here)
Added ES_CloseContent patch (completes ES_OpenTitleContent patches)
NO DIP MODULE, DO NOT ASK FOR IT
Some minor code changes

In Northern Ireland, a pair of men were apparently selling counterfeit Wii consoles (no, not the Vii). When searching a car in the New Lodge Road area of Belfast, police discovered several counterfeit consoles. The men, aged 19 and 22, were then detained by police.
We'd just like to take this moment to warn that it could happen to any of you. If you're still desperate for a console (you should be able to track one down at a store by now, if you check early enough every day, we would think) and using services like craigslist or eBay, take caution. The person selling the Wii could be trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

IGN's Craig Harris tested out the WiiSpeak microphone and voice chat functionality inside Animal Crossing at Nintendo's San Francisco office. His experience seemed much smoother and friendlier than my own, possibly as a result of improvements in the technology, a quieter environment, or a voice that is capable of normal human volume. Treehouse staffers told him that the voice chat has improved significantly since E3.
Conversations came in clearly enough from multiple positions in the room, though Harris noted a drop in quality when his interlocutors in Nintendo's Redmond office drifted far away from the mic, which seems pretty obvious. He was able to converse in a normal speaking voice from his position "six to eight feet" away. However, with no option to turn the music down or off in Animal Crossing, the game tended to drown out the voice output.
There was a mysterious "Use Headphones" option available in Animal Crossing, whose function is currently unknown. Harris speculates that it sends voice and game audio through separate audio channels, but maybe it just changes some preset audio settings to optimitze performance through tiny speakers. It's not as if you can plug a headset into the Wiimote or anything.
