Have you filled up your Wii's internal memory yet? We have and it's bloody annoying. But while we're all waiting for Nintendo to release a Wii hard drive, the reluctant games giant says there's no need to store all your games on your Wii. Again.
"The way that we look at it is, we really don't want people storing every single game they buy on their drive," said NOA PR manager, Eric Walter.
"When you buy a game, it's yours forever, so you can delete it, and go back and get it at any time you want. In a way, we liken it to putting music on your iPod; you listen to it for a while, and then you get tired of it, and you pull it off, and you put some new stuff on."
Yes Walter. But transferring songs between your PC and iPod takes seconds, not minutes, as Wii does per game. And copying VC games to an SD Card takes even longer than deleting and re-downloading them, would you believe it?
We're worried about how big the original games coming to the new WiiWare Channel (Wii Software) next year will be, but Walter says it won't be a problem.
"A lot of the games for WiiWare that have been submitted so far are smaller in size, so they're not gonna take up a ton of your drive," he told Gamasutra.

Nintendo has spent USD 40 million (EUR 27.7m) on print, TV and outdoor media advertising between January and June 2007, according to data from Nielsen Monitor-Plus.
The massive budget for 2007 continues the publisher's commitment to marketing – it has already spent USD 86 million (EUR 59.6m) for the whole of 2006 and USD 84 million (EUR 58.2m) in 2005.
The figures are revealed by MediaPost in an interview with Nintendo's newly appointed VP of sales and marketing Cammie Dunaway.
Dunaway said that she was attracted to the position, which she starts next week, by seeing here son and mother playing with Nintendo products.
"I've seen the excitement on my nine-year-old son's face when he's playing a Pokemon game on his DS. Then I see my mom, who's in her 70's, having fun playing Wii bowling," she said.

Nintendo Europe has told us it has no plans to release new Zelda and Nintendogs-themed DS bundles here.
However, it suggests the leaked retail scans from the US (spotted by Kotaku) were telling the truth, which depict a golden DS with a Tri-Force logo side-by-side with a pink DS stamped with the Nintendogs paw.
US retailer Sears lists the colourful units bundled with appropriate game as USD 149.99 each, while For Your Entertainment has them down as USD 129.99.
You could always import, of course, so keep your eyes peeled as Thanksgiving descends.

It's out; Japanese punters can finally sprint to the shops and pick up a copy of the awesome Super Mario Galaxy... though it looks like a lot of them might be holding off until the weekend.
According to Japanese site Ameblo, Mario's big Wii outing has shifted 130,000 copies in its first day of release in Japan, which is a bit unimpressive for the console's biggest "hardcore" release to date.
Sure, we never expected it to reach the sales heights of nan and girl-favourites Wii Sports and Wii Play, but going by the same sales data it's not even doing much better than Zelda: Twilight Princess.
But, we digress; it's only the first day of release and the weekend's yet to arrive. So we're sure there are still plenty of Japanese gamers yet to run off to the shops for their copies - and it's sure to shift much faster in the West.
And for those who don't give a monkey about the sales numbers it's still a bloody fantastic game. We've finished it already and you can expect our full verdict early next week...

Midway has has said that manufacturing delays of Nintendo's Wii has had a direct effect on the company's roll-out of software to support the machine.
In a conference call following the release of the company's Q3 financial results, vice president of publishing Miguel Iribarren said that products for the busy Christmas period have had longer lead times than necessary
"The demand for Wii product has put a pretty big strain on Nintendo's production capacity, and that has in turn, for us, turned into longer lead times for some of our Wii products," commented Iribarren.
"And that, during the holidays – given product coming out in a short timeframe – has resulted, for us, in reduced ability to get product to shelves."
In the same call the publisher admitted that it had faced some technical issues with its first products for PlayStation 3 – including the best-selling Stranglehold – but that it was now over any architecture problems.
"We ran into some technical issues developing for the PlayStation 3 that have taken more time to finalise than we expected," admitted David Zucker, CEO of Midway.
"We do believe these technical issues are now complete at a core level in our engine," added Zucker, and that he expects all SKUs of multiformat titles to ship "day and date."

The British Gaming Blog has links to articles on the official UK Wii site exploring the title Mario Galaxy . The first explores the game's origins and gives us a peek behind the scenes of the game's voice acting. The second looks at Mario's essence, and the benefits of the 'planetary gameplay'. The last is all about the sound of Mario:
"This time, we recorded with an orchestra of about 50 or so members. Of course, they were not very good at first because they were playing music they'd never heard before, and they are also seeing the score for the first time. But as the day went on, their performance improved dramatically, and the process of recording each track in its final form was actually a very fast one. This surprised Miyamoto-san, who was glued to the glass wall looking at them from the other side. He was saying 'So, sound is something that really changes too!'"

The Moon Books Project is featuring martial arts films this week. The first group of films released is the infamous Street Fighter series of films, which includes The Street Fighter, Return of The Street Fighter and Sister Street Fighter. Every day we will be releasing and spotlighting more martial arts films.
Street Fighter is not for the faint of heart however. The Street Fighter series is nothing like Capcom's popular martial arts games. In fact it has more in common with such films as Ichi The Killer or A Clockwork Orange.

Alex has again updated his puzzle games collection for the DS:
would like to say again that this is a beta version.
It can have bugs, as this is also amateur development… Never forget it, please.
In this beta 4, I fixed a bug concerning the ‘Undo’ button, which is not accessible anymore when a game is over (thanks to gh0st for finding this bug).
As a new feature, for this beta 4, you can play (and play) (and play again) (and play again again) the past daily challenge puzzles. For that, go to “hi scores” and then to “daily challenge ranking”. On the score pages, a “PLAY” button is available, you can try it
Even with this feature, I can’t beat the 2 unbelievable scores of Kimi & Johnathan easily.
So, that’s now sure, they are coming from another planet!!!
(Read this post to get the full story).

News from Drunkencoders
To ensure things work a bit smoother this year the judging for the competition has been standardized. I hope this does not throw too many people off but it should give people a much better idea of what we are looking for.
Judging Matrix
For the moment, no category is weighted more than another but it is possible the "Fun" category will end up worth twice that of any other.
Also the game submission and judging process is now fully web driven. This means the authors will control what info appears about their entries in the results list (and can update their info at any time). I had a bit of trouble keeping it all strait via email (i think last years results don't even list the game authors). It also means the results will be available as soon as all judges have submitted.
The final feature is after the results are published the general public will be able to rate and comment on the games. In the future, public opinion might factor into the final results but for this compo only the Judges scores will count.
Good luck in coding

Wal-Mart is now selling an electronic LCD game in the kid's section that resembles a Wiimote so closely that even Wal-Mart employees can't tell them apart in a picture. But the games — made by ToyQuest out of L.A. — are complete and utter crap, to the point of being unplayable. Their only redeeming feature is that they look like the Nintendo Wii, which means Wal-Mart is relying on brand confusion to sell any of these things to unsuspecting customers. There is a gallery of photos online, so you can take a look at side-by-side pictures with a true Wiimote, down to the fake speaker on the front.

NiGHTS: Journey into Dreams will be the first Wii game to link to the weather channel to recreate a true-to-life weather system.
The game use data streamed from the internet via the weather channel to imitate the weather in your part of the world, so if it's sunny outside, it's sunny in the game, and if you live in UK it's constantly pissing down in the game.
This feature comes into play in a new virtual pet "A-Life" mode in which you look after and breed your own creatures. The mood of your creatures is effected by the weather, making them behave in different way when depending on what it's like outside - a bit like your girlfriend.
But we're actually going to rename it the "No-Life" mode, because the bare minimum graphical detail in these first shots of the mode are as lifeless as our Wii (which broke down last week - right before the Mario Galaxy launch. Bastard).
Have a look in disgust at these screens. Are they better or worse than these shots from Cruis'n, which we this morning thought were worst Wii screens we'd ever seen?

Ready your beer goggles; Midway has released the first trailer for Cruis'n on Wii, and it's looking like it should've been released in 1997 rather than 2007.
If you're familiar with the series you'll know to expect arcade racing antics where realism and car physics go totally out the window. The last few games on N64 were also consistently a bit rubbish, so we're not holding our breath for the Wii version.
Oh, and it also looks worse than most Dreamcast games. Did we mention that?
See the trailer for yourself , and pray that Midway figures out how to turn the anti-aliasing on by release.

The typical four-year life cycle for games hardware is "too inflexible" for Nintendo, says boss Sotoru Iwata, who said that the company won't make a new console until it's needed.
Speaking at a recent financial briefing, Iwata said: "As we continue our research and study for new hardware, when we will be able to launch a new kind of hardware will actually depend on when we can change entertainment completely, and so have a strong impact on people around the world."
Nowadays, developers aren't restricted by the hardware as they used to be, and so the improvements that can be made to current hardware are limited. "There will certainly be a time when we have to say that we have done everything possible with the current machine, that we can never propose anything new," explained Iwata.
He added: "We long for a new weapon whenever we cry that we cannot fight anymore with the current weapons. But today's situation is such that we are not desperate for any new weapons at all.
"Scheduling for a rather fixed launch date 4 years from today, regardless of future changes in the industry and the market, appears to be too inflexible an approach to us," he went on to say.
"Also, since Nintendo's hardware engineers and software creators are always communicating closely, only when both teams agree that it is time to challenge the market with new hardware that we will launch it. So, it is not a correct observation that we are having any trouble deciding on the launch timing of the next hardware."
He went on to deny rumblings that new ideas for DS were running low. "We are not suffering from the shortage of new ideas for DS. I heard that some of the attendees to our October 10th conference were expecting to hear about a new portable machine announcement, but we never had that kind of notion in the first place," he said (via Aussie-Nintendo).
How will Wii visuals hold up in four years time, we wonder? A HD upgrade would sure be nice.

Ubisoft has concluded an agreement to acquire the Japanese development studio Digital Kids.
Digital Kids, established in 1996, specialises in games for the Nintendo DS and has developed several successful titles for Ubisoft's Petz franchise, including Hamsterz Life.
"When it comes to Nintendo DS games, Digital Kids has demonstrated a leading knowledge that has resulted in creative animal simulation titles that appeal to Japanese and Western audiences alike, which is quite rare," remarked Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot.
"This acquisition attests to Ubisoft's capacity to establish successful partnerships in new territories and reinforces its advance on casual games."
No financial terms of the deal were disclosed. The acquisition is expected to close during Q3 of the 2007-08 fiscal year.

If you were a DS owner in Japan right now, you could buy Zelda: Twilight Princess, register it online and wait for your frickin' sweet Zelda-themed feather-shaped stylus to turn up as a thanks from Nintendo - for being in Japan.
But (the chances are), you're not in Japan, you're in the UK, so you're not going to get a nice stylus as a thanks from Nintendo. You can have some Star Points on the almost pointless UK Nintendo site (which we stopped bothering with in the GameCube era), but no stylus. Sorry.
So, after looking at the picture below (courtesy of Kotaku) with envious rage, the best you can do is head over to eBay and see if you can spend actual money on one. That's what this editor will do right now.

Nintendo of America has announced a special treat for US Wii owners to celebrate the impending launch of Super Mario Galaxy.
Today will see the Virtual Console release of Super Mario Bros. 3, "considered by many to be the greatest video of all time" as Nintendo puts it.
It will cost 500 Wii Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5) and be released alongside Mega Drive side-scroller Alien Soldier (available here last week) and TurboGrafx-16 title Power Golf (available on Friday according to the official Hudson site).
There is no word on whether Super Mario Bros. 3 will be here on Friday, unfortunately, but we have our fingers crossed.

The Plugin for Nintendo64 has been updated, heres whats new:
- Fixed many problems with texture/palette CRC calculation. Almost all hires textures are loaded now.
Note: GlideHQ does not support textures in jpeg format. If your hires pack has textures in jpeg, you must convert them all to png.
- Fixed texrects alignment issue.
Note: There is an issue with texrects size in Mario Kart, which causes black lines in many menu textures. Thus, I use old texrects size calculation method for this game, which causes fewer artifacts.

Hello
I was working with the wii and the gc-linux project, and i found a way to play MAME and some other emulators (VisualBoyAdvanced,snes9x, gngeo,scummvm....) under wii, without the needs of a BBA adapter. If you are interested, here is a tutorial about how to run the emulators. It runs the Advanced Mame port, and a direct compilation of the VBA project for linux.
The idea is to have an installation of gc-linux on the SD, with an ext2 partition (as if it were a PC-Harddisc), were you put the gc-linux files with the emulator. It works well with small roms (cps1 or roms smaller than 7MB), but with bigger roms it lags a little, depending on the size.
I posted the tutorial here:
http://www.nacionarcade.net/tutorial...-gc-linux-590/
Sorry, but it is in spanish. If you need i can make an english translation, but i dont have too much time.

Solid Snake wasn't enough for Super Smash Bros. Brawl's star-studied roster; a second Metal Gear Solid character, the uni-eyed Grey Fox has joined the fight! But unfortunately you won't be able to play as him...
Grey Fox makes his Smash Bros. Appearance as an assist trophy, which help (or hurt) the player that activates them but aren't playable characters. In this case Grey Fox turns up and does his ninja thing on whoever happens to be in his way (he did chin a Metal Gear Rex after all) and look pretty damn hard in the process.
For the fighting MS fans will have to stick with Snake then, but at least it raises the chances that there are more non-Nintendo characters left to see...

Nintendo has said it is tackling a production bottleneck to ensure third-parties are able to get software on shelves in time for the busy holiday season.
Earlier this month publisher Midway said that it was struggling to get product to shelves as a result of relentless demand on Nintendo for the Wii and its software.
But Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America, has stated that the issue is only short-term, and that it's working to ease the crush as publishers move to take advantage of the Wii's success.
"As every publisher talks about shifting over to Wii it's creating this crush of production right now at our factories for software," said Fils-Aime, talking at a BMO Capital Markets conference.
"What we've done is to ramp that capacity up and work with the publishers to ensure that their best titles get into the marketplace and [they] have a productive holiday. This is a very short-term situation that is effectively going to be resolved in a course of three week's time," he stated.
During the same conference, Fils-Aime said that he was not worried by suggestions that Sony and Microsoft could enter the same market as Nintendo – by developing casual titles and a relatively cheap peripheral that could copy the Wii's interface.
"The challenge that our competitors have is significant. They've gone down the path with very expensive machines where they lose money on the hardware on every unit they sell. They've gone down a path that makes it challenging for third-party developers to create content," commented Fils-Aime.
"So our competitors have put themselves in quite a box. How they get out of it is a challenge – creating casual content for those systems won't work. Not only because the ease of play won't be there but the consumer won't be there.
"I don't think a consumer paying USD 600 for a Sony system, software and accessories is the same consumer who wants to play a more casual type of product. So they have a significant strategic conundrum, and one that won't be easy to resolve," he added.

Namco Bandai will be the first publisher to charge Wii owners to download in-game content.
Its word-based puzzle game Mojipittan will offer new stages and items in return for your hard earned cash, according to Japanese magazine Famitsu - translated by IGN.
So far it is a Japan-only phenomena, with the game set to launch on the WiiWare (Wii Software) service in March next year.
Versions of the game have already been available on PSP, DS and PS2 and sold very well, with head-to-head online battles planned to enrich the Wii experience.
We will keep you posted if and when any European details emerge, but it seems unlikely they will.

Something about the Wii has really lit a fire of creativity in cheap Chinese game accessory manufacturers. They just love releasing add-ons for the controller that makes it feel like the object you're supposedly using in the game, such as this nifty sword-and-shield setup. But this… this is too much. I mean, will this really make playing the fishing minigame in Twilight Princess that much better? And is the plastic fish necessary? Even at $9.95 [£4.75] this thing is a rip-off.

We already know that the WiiSaber (that's Wii lightsaber...learn it, live it, love it) is coming, but just how hard is the task of design? Very hard. Like, it will be tough to get right, hard. And it's not just because of the Wiimote itself—according to TT Games' Jonathan Smith—one major developer behind the original Lego Star Wars games.
...the way you have to tackle the animation for a character that can mimic your movements is quite intimidating...When I play a game I want to feel like I'm a Jedi, not like I'm some kind of imbecile who just keeps on stabbing stuff in the guts. You're not going to be able to fight with style because you won't know how to put the moves together.
It seems like we're in need of a standardized lightsaber battle curriculum. Time for community colleges to step it up.

Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is a 2005 motion picture produced by five friends in a two-room flat with a small budget and the support of a few hundred fans and dozens of acquaintances. Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning is the seventh production in the Star Wreck movie series, the first of professional quality and feature length. It is a dark science fiction comedy about domination of the world and the universe, and a parody of the Star Trek and Babylon 5 universes.
Although the movie is a fan film at heart, many critics have favourably compared it with typical professionally produced science fiction films, in part because of the quality of the special effects and overall production.
Star Wreck can be viewed on the DS using Moon Shell

News/release from Lazyone:
Sorry to do this yet again but a few more things need to be done in the registered builds first.
I’m releasing this test build of the Spear of Destiny demo mainly test MP3 playback and find some hidden bugs that may be lurking around somewhere.
Known issues:
1) Scaled screens flicker every second or so
2) Saving/loading large files will cause MP3 playback to break up
3) Demos do not play properly
4) Keys are not yet configurable
Don’t worry about #2, if you save and the mp3 playback starts to break up just go back into your game and it should restart normally.
Keys:
Turn left: DPAD Left
Turn right: DPAD Right
Forward: DPAD Up
Backward: DPAD Down
Strafe Left: L Shoulder
Strafe Right: R Shoulder
Shoot: A
Use: B
Next Weapon: X
Run: Y
Installation:
Copy the wolf3d folder into the root of your media card, run.
Unfortunately there will be no source release until everything is ready.
However, the ARM7 MP3 player source is available. I’m not 100% happy with how I did things but it seems to work fine.
NOTICE:
This game WILL FAIL if your DS homebrew device does not support unaligned reads!

Jeff has released a new version of his Rogue clone for the Nintendo DS and GBA, heres whats new:
*Is this a return to weekly updates? Stranger things have happened. This time I think I have actually fixed Reclaim Soul rather than merely asserting it has been fixed. Long-planned skills of Charge and Leap Attack are finally present. A brand new brainstorm - Summon Familiar - is present. This is an attempt to build a Pax branch that doesn't involve a lucky wand of create monsters on dungeon level 1.
Floating eyes will now track your position on a succesful attack, making them much more dangerous as other enemies will be able to find you.
When you save/reload your quiver order will stay the same.
Reclaim Soul no longer costs piety with Tlosh. Honest.
Character dump no longer lists skills as their corresponding spell name.
Two new skills: Charge and Leap Attack. These are in H'ruth's book which is now large enough that the traditional melee skills have been removed from it.
Last move direction no longer lost when you look at your inventory.
Creatures created with artifact wands of create monster will be imbued with the relevant intrinsics.
Removed buffer from stack in chainlightning to hopefully reduce stack pressure on GBA. (hotpoo)
New spell: Fetch. Broke Blink out of Teleport and reduced mana cost of all the teleport spells.
New spells: Summon Familiar and Transfer Knowledge. These are to address the proper Pax playstyle in the early game. Along with this is a new spellbook to house these spells: The Familiar Tome.
Gameboy Advance [375k].
Nintendo DS [725k].

Alekmaul has released a new Atari 800XL emulator for Nintendo DS
Heres info and screenshot etc:
Here is an Atari 800 XL emulator for DS!
This emulator is based on atari800 ( http://atari800.sourceforge.net/) to emulate all components of the Atari.
History
The family XL was introduced by the model 1200xl. But its incompatibility with the veterans 400 and 800 made him quickly obsolete. It was the 600XL and 800XL, built in 1983, which could make the most extensive libraries of their predecessors. He succeeded in atari 400 (1979), the atari 800 (1979), the 1200 XL (1982), and 600 XL (1983).
The 600XL was the model entry level, with 16K of RAM, expandable to 64. The 800XL came with 64k of RAM. The big differences with the ancestors were linked to the memory and the operating system.
But Commodore, with the C64, practiced aggressive prices and took advantage. The trouble began for Atari at the beginning of 1984, with the boom of video game consoles.
The problems associated with the new production lines have delayed the entry of the machine on the market. Originally intended to replace the 1200XL in mid-83, the machines did not arrive before the end of 1983, and far fewer machines than expected were available during the Christmas period 1983.
Nevertheless, the 800XL is the most popular computer sold by Atari. The 1400XL and 1450XLD saw their delivery date postponed to give priority to the Atari 600XL/800XL and later by the system 3600. Ultimately, the 1400XL was eventually canceled outright, and 1450XLD delayed until also be canceled. The XE System was the answer to the soft Japanese. Without success.
We must also know that we could connect to the chain via a large square, a floppy drive, tape, printer, and so on. The USB hour before then. This is called pseudo USB then ORC.

Jesse has updated his Colors app for the DS, heres whats new:
Colors! is a simplistic digital application for Nintendo DS based on modern painting- techniques developed for drawing tablets in programs like Photoshop. By taking advantage of the pressure sensitivity of the DS touch-screen it becomes a perfect portable digital sketch-book.
* Less stylus jumping (I need feedback on this)
* Reduced input latency and slightly improved painting performance
* Improved Wi-Fi robustness (but flooding problem seems impossible to completely remove)
* Removed clear-animation for small paintings
* Fixed a bug where calibration settings weren't saved correctly
* Upgraded to newer versions of efs-lib and dswifi libraries
* From this version on I will also include .ds.gba equivalent in archive

Heres one we will stick in rumour mode until verified. Heres the full post for those interested:
Hi, I'm a newbie here, so please ignore any unwitting transgression of rules, written or unwritten.
Thought I'd found something that only I didn't know about but a brief search later I'm none the wiser.
Sooo... at the risk of ridicule, infamy and flames...
Power on your wii and at the initial health warning message hold down both the + and - buttons then press A.
Message: System is in Maintenance Mode Message board unavailable.
I haven't explored much yet except that some of the menu functions are unavailable.
Also, if you start the shop channel, a port scan would suggest that the wii is running an ftp server.
I am unable to get a login prompt as the server is reset as soon as addressed.
That's all Folks!
Explore at your peril.
FiJ.
Can this be used for an exploit ?

Nic Watt, creative director of Australian developer Nnooo Games, has spoken out on Nintendo's Wii Software Service, or WiiWare as it's known in the US and Japan.
As reported last month, Nnooo is developing a WiiWare game titled Pop. Speaking to Kotaku, Watt said Nintendo was willing to hand over without requiring a big up-front investment or an extensive demo of the game.
"Nintendo understand not only that small companies like ours cannot afford to create loads of demos in the hope of getting a game signed, but also that the Wii is quite unique," Watt observed, "And you really need to get access to the hardware to be able to make a decent game, demo or prototype."
According to Watt, Nintendo of America is overseeing the development of some Western WiiWare titles and will also handle acquisition and publishing. He said Nintendo is still deciding whether or not game demos will be made available, and confirmed that WiiWare titles will be on the low end of the price scale.
"The great thing about WiiWare and services like it is we can offer titles at a lower cost than their disc-based counterparts," Watt continued. "This means that an apparently simple title like Pop can be sold for a significantly less than the USD 40+ one would pay for a disc based game."
So how is Pop shaping up? "We are aiming for an experience which is simple to understand but gets under your skin and keeps you entranced for long periods of time," explained Watt.
"Like Every Extend Extra, Geometry Wars, Tetris and Lumines, Pop has waves of gameplay which get progressively more challenging and fast paced. It also has deep mechanics in its scoring which allow experienced players to not only score high but also jump past easy levels quickly so they can get to the harder ones."
Pop will launch around the same time as the WiiWare service, which is due to arrive in 2008

News/release from SMCD
I used advanscene's list of save types and created a launcher for no$gba to change the no$gba.ini entry for nds save type based on identifying the game.
The included db goes from 0001-1600, minus game numbers 1271, 1272, 1591, 1600 as those save types are "TBC" which i assume means "to be completed."
Run no$gba and configure it, save config.
Put the exe & dat file in no$gba's directory and run the program. drag an nds file onto the program and click go. if it finds the game in the database, it'll back up the no$gba.ini file and edit it according to save type, then launch no$gba for you...
I've only done minimal testing but it seems to work OK. Might save some people a wee bit of time having to switch save types manually each game.
Questions? Comments? Leave 'em or don't

Nintendo's free online service has been taken by storm with legions of rockers hitting the internet to face off against fellow five-button guitarists.
Stats for the week ending November 4 show that mighty DS titles such as Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Metroid Prime Hunters and even Zelda: Phantom Hourglass were all knocked down a slot when GH III charged in with 622,580 connections, placing second only behind the predictably popular Pokemon Diamond/Pearl games which saw an astonishing 1,455,526 connections.
The recently-released first party war game, Battalion Wars 2, only managed 35,982 connections. Good news for Activision.
Check out the full list of official figures (via NeoGAF) below:- [NDS] Pokémon Diamond & Pearl - 1,455,526 connections*
- [WII] Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock - 622,580 connections

The new 'Check Mii Out' channel, which allows Wii owners to compare and rate each other's Mii creations online, will go live this Sunday, November 11 in US. UK will have a wait a while longer.
"The Check Mii Out Channel lets people show off their Mii creations and vote on those created by others," explains Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications, George Harrison.
Nintendo details how it'll all work: "In the Posting Plaza, users can submit, exchange or just browse Miis posted by others in their region or worldwide. The channel offers the ability to look at a random selection of 1,000 Miis or to see just the current or all-time favourites.
"Players have a variety of ways to search for specific Miis, including by the name of its creator or by a number specific to each Mii. Once users have found that "special Mii," they can even tag their favourites or import them to their own Wii systems."
As well as that, Nintendo will set challenges to the Wii community, having Wii owners competing to make the best Mii "to represent a specific person, character or theme".
As Nintendo explains: "These could include historical figures (Abraham Lincoln or Vincent Van Gogh), fictional characters (the Tooth Fairy or the New Year's Baby) or descriptive themes ("the biggest bully ever" or "the overbearing boss"). Users can then vote on Miis submitted by others to determine the Mii that best fits the challenge".
"Each contest will generally last two weeks: one for creating and submitting Miis, and the second week for people to vote on the results," Nintendo adds.
Unfortunately, Nintendo UK has confirmed to CVG that this announcement only applies to the US, so UK Wii-goers will have wait for an undisclosed while longer to get their ticket to the Mii-making party.
But anyway, it'll be all about Super Mario Galaxy from next Friday. Nothing else matters.

Sega is leaping on the brain-train wagon with Brain Assist, a DS game "filled with a variety of ways to test mental ability".
Apparently, it's derived from Touch de Uno!, which we're reliably informed is a classic Japanese arcade game.
Anyway, the idea is that through a series of fun challenges that test your memory, concentration, reflexes, deduction and analytical abilities, your, er, memory, concentration, reflexes, deduction and analytical abilities will be improved.
And we're additionally reliably informed there are nurses in the game that offer you assistance and guidance - "Oh yes, that's it. Put your stylus there. Just there. Faster! Faster!"...
The ultimate challenge is the Lightning Round, "where the pace and difficulty of gameplay becomes even more challenging" Sega explains.
It adds, "Brain Assist takes full advantage of the Nintendo DS Touch Screen technology and allows for an addictive interactive gameplay experience in either two-player co-op mode or fast-paced competitions for up to four players via the Nintendo DS Wireless Connection".
Brain Assist is out spring 2008.

With his latest masterpiece, Super Mario Galaxy (which we gave 9.5 in this must-read review), done and dusted, Miyamoto has taken the time out to have a very interesting chat with Nintendo boss, Satoru Iwata, about the intricacies of the game's design and, more interestingly, the fundamentals of Mario.
First up, Miyamoto talks about the two-player gameplay in SMG. "For every game I worked on, there were always times when I would keep discussing the issue of two-player simultaneous gameplay, and the staff also became conscious of the challenge, so every development team kept trying hard to solve it too," he said.
"What I originally had in mind were situations like a parent sitting by their child - for example, a mother assisting her child. I also think it would be great if the opposite happened. I had a very strong image of the mother controlling Mario, while her child assisted her saying things like 'Mum, there's an enemy over here!'"
"A parent and child helping each other while they play was something that I wanted to make reality for a long time, and with Super Mario Galaxy, I strongly feel that situations like this could really happen," adds Miyamoto.
Later, he talks about the fundamentals of Mario, and where all those crazy ideas came from. Like those Koopa's, for example: "I remembered an experience I once had when I was working on Mario Bros. (Gunpei) Yokoi-san9 asked me, 'What's something that wouldn't be able to move if I hit it from underneath?', and I replied, 'A turtle, of course'".
"From that point on, we had a continuous flow of ideas, like 'I think it would seem more natural if you're able to step on the turtle,' and 'Wouldn't it be better if it came out of the shell when you stepped on it?'"
Miyamoto continues: "In the end, you were only able to knock over the turtle from the bottom and couldn't step on them... In Mario Bros., when a turtle gets knocked over, it'll start moving again after a short period of time. The thing is it's hard to tell exactly how long it's going to take to start moving.
"You can see it twitching, but you're not able to tell after how many of those twitches it would get back on its feet. So, we decided to change this and make a rule that you could see this timing visually.
"We made it so that after you step on a turtle, it would pop right out of its shell, and the turtle would start moving again when it gets back inside the shell. The little turtle that popped out of its shell works as the timer, and we felt that this would be something that anybody would be able to see."
Fascinating stuff for Nintendo geeks (e.g. this writer, who could read about the making of Goombas and Chain Chomps all day). And there's plenty more like that, including memories from Miyamoto's long past in game development and what he hopes Mario Galaxy will achieve in the long run.
Check out the huge interview on the official Nintendo site.

Looks like potential Wii owners are going to have to judge the system exclusively based on its gaming (and photo management, internet, weather, and so-on) functionality for the time being. Nintendo Japan has posted a message at the Q&A section of its site stating that the promised DVD-ready Wii won't make it out in 2007.
As reason for not introducing the new model this year, the company cited a need to need to maintain effective production in order to keep up with worldwide demand for the Wii.
This DVD-ready system would basically be just like the current Wii, except with the ability to play DVDs. According to the Q&A, it would have no external changes to the hardware or any other added functionality.
Rather than stating that the product has been canceled, the Q&A states merely that it won't be released in 2007. Perhaps we can look forward to the advanced model next year.

Eidos' chief technology officer, Julien Merceron, has told GamesIndustry.biz that he believes this Christmas could prove crucial to the long term success of Nintendo's Wii platform.
According to Merceron if third party titles don't sell well it will lead to a dive in the support for the console.
"Either third party developers and publishers will make money on the Wii platform, or they won't - and if most of them don't I think we'll see a big drop in support for the Wii next year, which could have some consequences for Nintendo, and very positive ones for Microsoft and Sony," he said.
"So I think that the success of the Wii from the different publishers is going to be the determining point this Christmas…if you can't make money at Christmas on the best platform out there, then you have no chance all year long."
The comments come in an interview ahead of GDC Lyon, which is taking place in the first week of December. The full interview is available now.

Super Mario Galaxy might not be out until next week but all the reviews are pretty much in. It's a hit with the critics! According to almost every review it is the game Wii owners have been waiting for (but please don't forget about Zack and Wiki, if only for the sake of third-party support). Galaxy is apparently the evolution of the platformer and Wii owners will only need to wait a little bit longer -- unless they get lucky.
Game Informer (98/100): "Galaxy also makes great use of the Wii's motion-sensing controls. While Mario's general movement is handled beautifully on the nunchuk's analog stick, many feats require a shake of the remote or a steady pointing hand. If you have a second Wii remote, you can also experience one of the coolest and most inventive non-traditional co-op modes in any game. The second player doesn't control a character, but rather a star. This player can pick up collectible items, and can also freeze enemies or projectiles in their tracks, which can be a great aid."
GameSpot (95/100): "You could probably swap in just about any other characters from practically any other franchise, and this would still be a phenomenally fun game. That it layers all these memorable characters and components on top of that phenomenal design just makes it all the sweeter. If ever there were a must-own Wii game, Super Mario Galaxy is it."
1UP (95/100): "Galaxy is one of the most impressive, engrossing games in recent memory -- and quite the contrast to the rest of this year's triple-A gaming crop, which tends toward the dark, the M-rated, and the first-person perspective. Gaming may be growing up (per se), but gamers will always appreciate beautifully polished gameplay and inventive design...even if it's sugarcoated with squeaky baby stars and a goofy cartoon of a hero. Galaxy proves that Mario matters just as much today as he did 25 years ago, and that makes him one of a kind in this medium. But don't play Galaxy simply because Mario is the timeless godfather of gaming. No, play Galaxy because it's fantastic.."

Unlike the official Nintendo Wii lightgun accessory that has the trigger up in the front hand—which is more awkward than Frankenstein dancing—the dreamGEAR Wii GameBlaster has only one trigger, and it's in the back. Also unlike the official gun, it takes in both the Wiimote and the Nunchuk controller and connects the two without visible wires. This actually looks better than the real thing, and if you can somehow reprogram the trigger button in-game to be on the Nunchuk instead of on the Wiimote, you've got yourself the optimal zombie shooting experience.

We've seen a couple pretty press photos of the forthcoming DS 1seg TV tuner, but nothing beats video -- and the Japanese promo video unearthed by the crew at Gamebrink delivers the goods in spades.
Apart from the usual orientation and aspect ratio settings, the tuner has some neat extra features -- you can take notes on one screen while watching on the other, and it also can be set to take screenshots whenever the closed captioning changes, allowing you to flip through a show like a picture book later.
Japanese DS fans can get their hands on the 1seg tuner starting on the 23rd, according to Gamebrink. Check the whole video right here.

Capcom has recorded modest sales growth for the first half of 2007, with revenues of JPY 31.1 billion (EUR 188.2 m), up 6.6 per cent for the period ended September 30.
However, net income was down to JPY 1.6 billion (EUR 9.6 m) or 16.3 per cent, with the company's arcade revenue dropping 68.9 per cent from JPY 4.3 billion (EUR 26m) to JPY 1.4 billion (EUR 8.4m) for the first six months of the year.
Console software was the key performer for Capcom, with the publisher singling out Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and the 500,000-selling Apollo Justice Ace Attorney.
"This business segment was a pleasant surprise with the achievement of sales far exceeding our projection," said the company.
"One of the supporting factors for this result was the strong sales of the popular Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition mainly in the US and Europe."
Capcom expects to achieve JPY 78 billion (EUR 471.9m) in net revenue for the full year ending March 31, 2008, and JPY 6.2 billion (EUR 37.5m) in net income.

Doom creator John Carmack believes the DS would make a great proving ground for upstart programmers if only platform holders didn't stifle homebrew development.
"It is a shame that homebrew development can't be officially sanctioned and supported, because it would be a wonderful platform for a modern generation of programmers to be able to get a real feel for low level design work," Carmack told IGN in an interview about Orcs & Elves, "to be contrasted with the high level web and application work that so many entry level people start with."
Carmack took a similar route to creating Orcs & Elves, id Software's upcoming Nintendo DS game - created as a collaboration between Carmack and Fountainhead Software.
As he explained at QuakeCon 2007, he got the 3D code that underpins the game up and running in four days during one of his "working retreats" - where he locks himself in a hotel room for two weeks with no internet connection "for completely focused work".
Unofficial homebrew solutions do exist for DS, using flash cards for storage, but they're not supported by Nintendo because of the potential for piracy.

Alex has posted a new version of his Puzzle game collection for the DS
For this new beta version, a new feature: the Hall of fame!
The hall of fame replaces the old ‘high scores’ page.
The hall of fame is divided in 4 rankings for each game/each level:
Since the beginning of Puzzlemaniak
Since midnight (GMT)
Since the last 7 days(GMT)
Since the last 30 days(GMT)
The hall of fame stores the 20 best scores of each game/level.
That’s also the case of the Global Ranking, that is now computed for the 20 first players on each game/level (and scores are thus balanced to 200 instead of 100).
I hope you’ll enjoy this new version.
Warning: As this version modifies your score file, please backup it before trying this beta version…

Alekmaul has updated his Atari 800XL emulator for Nintendo DS
Heres info and screenshot etc:
Small update because it seems that the joystick was a worry in the previous version ... Sorry ...
Here is an Atari 800 XL emulator for DS!
This emulator is based on atari800 ( http://atari800.sourceforge.net/) to emulate all components of the Atari.
History
The family XL was introduced by the model 1200xl. But its incompatibility with the veterans 400 and 800 made him quickly obsolete. It was the 600XL and 800XL, built in 1983, which could make the most extensive libraries of their predecessors. He succeeded in atari 400 (1979), the atari 800 (1979), the 1200 XL (1982), and 600 XL (1983).
The 600XL was the model entry level, with 16K of RAM, expandable to 64. The 800XL came with 64k of RAM. The big differences with the ancestors were linked to the memory and the operating system.
But Commodore, with the C64, practiced aggressive prices and took advantage. The trouble began for Atari at the beginning of 1984, with the boom of video game consoles.
The problems associated with the new production lines have delayed the entry of the machine on the market. Originally intended to replace the 1200XL in mid-83, the machines did not arrive before the end of 1983, and far fewer machines than expected were available during the Christmas period 1983.
Nevertheless, the 800XL is the most popular computer sold by Atari. The 1400XL and 1450XLD saw their delivery date postponed to give priority to the Atari 600XL/800XL and later by the system 3600. Ultimately, the 1400XL was eventually canceled outright, and 1450XLD delayed until also be canceled. The XE System was the answer to the soft Japanese. Without success.
We must also know that we could connect to the chain via a large square, a floppy drive, tape, printer, and so on. The USB hour before then. This is called pseudo USB then ORC.

In the fourth volume of the ongoing series of interviews between Nintendo's Iwata and the Mario Galaxy team, design legend Shigeru Miyamoto puts forth the opinion that he thinks he's nailed two-player Mario . That opinion is bolstered by Japanese sales figures, which shows the plumber doing quite well for his umpteenth outing.
"Miyamoto: 'For every game I worked on, there were always times when I would keep discussing the issue of two-player simultaneous gameplay, and the staff also became conscious of the challenge, so every development team kept trying hard to solve it too. Though I think that might also have been because they thought if they didn't deal with it first, I'd come in and ask how it was coming along for sure! (laughs)'"

Reputable European publication Edge magazine is reporting that the upcoming Animal Crossing for Nintendo Wii is indeed going the MMO route, as previously rumored by fellow Future Publishing siblings Next-Gen. "A Japanese source has confirmed to Edge that the upcoming Wii iteration of Animal Crossing is set to be a social networking MMO," reports the magazine.
No other details are known at the time, Nintendo has not provided any official confirmation. The article is found on page nine of the latest issue, which prominently features the PlayStation 3 on both the front and back covers.

GameTrailers has uncovered a whole buttload of Japanese videos for Wii Fit that show off some previously unknown game modes. A snowboarding game, shown above, has the player turn the board perpendicular to the screen and lean left and right to navigate a simple slalom course. For those less inclined to "X-TREME" sports, the jogging mini-game simulates the, er, thrilling world of jogging, complete with fellow joggers to keep pace with. Interestingly, the beginning of the jogging video shows a Wii remote being placed in a pocket, possibly to detect vertical movement (and setting up a surprising answer to the old query, "Is that a Wii remote in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?")
An extended Japanese trailer for the game shows more scenes from the above game modes, as well as some short snippets of a previously unknown tightrope-walking game and some sort of boxing trainer.

An ingenious little hack enables anyone with a Wii, a powerful infrared emitter, and some reflective tape to control their Wii with their fingertips, as demonstrated in the creator's YouTube video. The "hack" involves sticking the reflective pads on your fingertips, and placing a Wiimote close to an infrared emitter, with the result being that the Wiimote thinks it's moving when in fact your fingers are. The hack won't work very well with your Wii -- can't press dem buttons! -- so it's limited to gimmicky Minority Report-style demos on your PC. Besides, isn't the whole point of couch potato gaming that you don't have to lift a finger?

Today, Nintendo notified Wii users of their newest downloadable channel, the Check Mii Out Channel, via WiiMail. The Check Mii Out Channel, now downloadable for free through the Wii Shop Channel, is where users can upload their Miis into a public plaza to be downloaded by others, or enter them in various contests. Here is the full WiiMail message sent out by Nintendo:
Nintendo would like to announce the launch of the new Check Mii Out Channel, which is now available as a free download in the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel. The Check Mii Out Channel will allow you to show the Miis you create to other people and to view the Miis created by other users around the world. You'll also have opportunities to create Miis based on unique themes and submit them as part of a contest or even help judge Miis to find the winners.
Before downloading the Check Mii Out Channel, you may want to update your system to the newest version available. To do so, select the "Update" button in the lower-right corner of the screen.
**If you've updated your system on or after October 10, you may not need to perform this update again.
~Nintendo~

DS only got released in Korea in January this year, but the region known for its notorious levels of software piracy has already put it under Nintendo's legal spotlight as the Japanese company demands an investigation into DS piracy.
Illegal DS game downloads are rife on Korean websites which, according to reports, are being tolerated by web operators.
Nintendo Korea has issued a request to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office to look into the case after previous demands to remove the copied games were ignored.
"Nintendo will take further measures if copyright violations continue," said the company, according to Financial Times.
This marks the first time Nintendo has actively taken action against software piracy, having previously concentrated its efforts in the European and US markets.

It's being reported from an EA press conference in Japan that the Bullfrog classic is being remade for DS. We've even got a picture of a man standing in front of a screen with the word 'Populous' on it and some Japanese writing, so it must be true!
We've got fond memories of hammering Peter Molyneux's Populous back in the day on Atari ST. Unfortunately not mush else has been revealed about the game - there aren't even any screens doing the rounds - but it's been rumoured to happen since SimCity got the DS treatment earlier this year.
According to the reports we should expect wireless play for up to four players.
We've been on to EA UK who was unaware of the news, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening. Especially as the first screens have appeared over on a Japanese website.
Bad news people, EA UK says the game is for Japan only.

If you're a Wii owner, you'll probably fall into one of two camps when it comes to Nintendo's channel updates. Either you'll consider them harmless added value with just enough addictive whimsy to keep you occupied for a couple of minutes in moments of vague boredom, or you'll be on the side that bangs and wails and upends tables, frothing and glowering at the injustice of it all. 'Why are you wasting all this time when you could be making games?!', you'll bleat at anyone who'll listen - usually on internet forums. 'How dare you foresake me with your dedication to the casuals, Nintendo?', you'll shout. Camp number one: we have an update! Camp number two: bugger off.
Yes, that's right, mere hours after our American cousins, Nintendo has flung its gift of popularity at unsuspecting European Wiis in the shape of the Mii Contest Channel. Previously, Nintendo has referred to its long-promised update as the Check Mii Out Channel, including in its latest US press release, so we're not quite sure what happened there.
Anyway, in case you've not been paying attention, the basic premise this time around is the wholesale whoring of those Miis you probably created when you first got your console then completely forgot about 20 minutes later. With the advent of the Mii Contest Channel, you can frogmarch the pinnacle of your creativity right out in front of adoring eyes, ready to be judged, insulted or revered.
Nintendo's Mii Contest Channel comes in two parts - the Posting Plaza and Contests. The first lets you share your funny-faced creations with the world, swiping anything you might take a particular fancy to, and the second presents a variety of theme competitions to participate in. The general idea is that you whisk up a Mii to match the task then upload the fella, ready to be judged by Wii users across the globe. It's then possible to keep yourself updated on your progress via the 'Results' tab and see how close your Mii is to victory.
There's not much to report on the latter section of the channel just yet, given that Nintendo is operating contests on a fortnightly cycle - the first week offering ample time to prep your Mii around the given theme (currently 'Mario without his hat' in honour of upcoming Super Mario Galaxy'), ready for upload via the Submit panel and the second week for voting all entrants. This being the case, we've got no idea how the voting process actually works right now, with most of the Contest section inaccessible until next week.
Of far more interest is the Posting Plaza, which is already heaving with an impressive roster of nifty Miis. Currently gathered under the heading of 'Today's Top Miis', you'll find an amazing spectrum of familiar faces including - in no particular order - Peter Griffin, Mr. T, Mario, Darth Vadar, South Park's Kenny, Ali G, Jack Black and, er, Hitler. These are all gleaned from either a regional or worldwide selection, but you're free to alter that on a whim.
Miis can be viewed based on a number of categories, including Top 50, Pot Luck and your own personal Favourites. It's also possible to search for Miis via either their unique reference code (looking not unlike Nintendo's dreaded Friend-related digits of doom) or by a combination of gender and 'talent'. You can select your Mii's particular talent during the posting process and these cover a wide range of activities including Comedy, Acting, Art, Athletics and Conversation. Clearly we got bored of scrolling down the list after the letter 'C'. Finally, you can also check out Miis based on Mii Artisan Rankings. Here, you'll find a list of top-rated Artisans (that is, the Mii you've chosen to represent yourself on the Contest Channel) and all their majestic creations for easy browsing.
However you choose to check out Miis, they're all displayed in static groups of 50 on the main screen. Static, that is, unless you hit the 'Parade' button, in which case Miis will dash onto the screen in groups of three and perform a nifty move to win your affection. It's a pointless but classically Nintendo touch and its hard not to melt a little as Hitler prances into the spotlight and either karate chops, goes down on one knee or makes hearts fly out of his bottom in a bid to capture your heart.
Once you've seen a Mii that takes your fancy, a simple click with the pointer brings up their individual stats screen. Here, you can check out their initials, talent, popularity ranking and unique entry number, alongside creator and country of origin. You've also got the option to mark it as a favourite (shifting it over to your Favourites search screen), calling its friends or - if you rather, calling up similar Miis, if you want your screen overflowing with 50 questionable Peter Griffin look-a-likes - and, finally, you can import it to your Mii Channel.
That's pretty much that then. Certainly, the whole thing should revitalise flagging interest in the Mii Channel and foster some creativity in the Wii community. It's definitely a typically Nintendo take on competition, with ne'er a rocket launcher or hand grenade in sight. While the Mii Contest Channel isn't likely to set the world alight, it's definitely neat being able to check out some of the genuinely impressive Mii efforts people have made over the past year and the gallery of celebrity look-a-likes demonstrates just how flexible Nintendo's much-maligned Mii creation tools are in the right hands.
Quite whether we'll be whiling away the hours in a bid to get our Miis up the rankings when competitions start properly remains to be seen - although if Nintendo's prepared to offer a real-world incentive to compete beyond global recognition, we might well be there. For the time being though, the Mii Contest Channel is another largely pointless but engaging addition to Nintendo's growing roster of Wii frivolities. And, frankly, if Nintendo wants to keep offering free ways to waste time, we're hardly going to complain.

Kernal has released a new version of SquareDS, heres the translated info:
So I also launched in the dev on DS, and I present my first project, SquareDS, which is a port of Squares 2. I really liked the principle, and therefore I thought for a first draft, it would be playable.
Version 1.3b:
Recompiling - with the last PALib
- Access to more comprehensive sources
How to play:
The goal is simple: pick up a maximum of square black with the black square removable stylus, while avoiding red. At times, black or red circles appear respectively, and provide a penalty or a bonus.
The more we catch square, the square becomes principal wholesale and more difficulty increases (speed and number of squares generated).

Three years have passed since the Daein-Crimea war, where the mercenary Ike led the Crimean army to defeat Daein's mad King Ashnard. Both Daein and Crimea are still stabilizing after that war. Daein is ruled by the Begnion occupation forces, after Crimea relinquished rule over their defeated country, and they are oppressed by the imperial soldiers. In the first of the game's four parts, a group of chivalrous thieves, which includes fortune-teller Micaiah, fight Begnion's oppression and attempt to liberate Daein and bring back power to the royal family.
The efforts of the Dawn Brigade are the beginning of a much larger conflict. In the next part, Crimea's Queen Elincia fights against conspiring nobles, who plot to overthrow her. The following part sees the Greil mercenaries assist the united Laguz army as they go to war with the Begnion Empire. The consequences of this war can be seen in the fourth and final part, where the Dawn Brigade and the Greil mercenaries join forces to defeat the Begnion senate and the threatening goddess of chaos high above at the Guiding Tower.

The stages alternate between free-roaming areas containing several mini-games to travel zones, which involve the player taking actions to get from one area to another. The travel zones could be anything from descending a cliff face from the mountains to the ice sheets below or surviving in the open ocean as a storm rages around you.

We don't know who thought it'd be smart to mess with the gods of rock, but choosing not to include surround sound support for Guitar Hero III just doesn't sound like an intelligent move. Nevertheless, a assemblage of Wii gamers are reporting that the game is outputting audio in mono, despite the packaging advertising that Dolby Pro Logic II is supported. We've even seen users with Pro Logic II-capable decoders explain that while other Wii titles sound fine, GHIII in particular refuses to cooperate. Supposedly, Activision is busy looking into the problem, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive time frame for when we can expect a fix. So, any of you shredders out there experiencing something similar, or have we only heard one channel, er, side of the story?

Hello everyone, a tiny and “unofficial” update for slot 2 device users. The 0.6 alpha didn’t work well, so i tried to fix most issues in this release.
Other people can check this release too, it reduces the battery consumption and includes a button to hide the GUI.

News/release from Alex of his excellent Puzzle games Collection for the Nintendo DS:
Finally, after 6 beta versions (!!!) the version 3.0 is ready to be released.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean that there is no bug inside, but it’s not a beta version, so you can expect more stability.
There are a lot of changes since version 2.7 and also some changes since latest version 3.0 beta 6:
MP3 Support (thanks TOM)
When the Nintendo DS is closed and an mp3 is playing, pressing buttons ‘L’ / ‘R’ will go to the previous/next song in your mp3 playlist.
=> This feature can be disabled in new ‘options’ screen (see below)
Past Daily Challenges can be played again and again (without submitting your scores, for sure!)
Press ‘Select’ to change screen’s brightness
Several players can play the game on the same Nintendo DS => For each one, a profile is stored so that the user keep his settings like language, colors, background, mp3 folder, mp3 options (repeat all, repeat one, mp3 path) and so on… The 3 players have their own score file, and a ‘overall local ranking’ is managed, so that you can train yourself against your scores, but also against all scores on your NDS.
When displaying scores, you can switch between your scores, scores of other players, local overall scores and overall scores downloaded via wifi by pressing the Left / Right buttons.
A new options screen has been added:
where you can:
Select whether to download/display wifi scores automatically or not
Select to repeat all the mp3s in your playlist or not
Select to repeat the current mp3 of your your playlist or not
Select whether to use the buttons L/R to browse the mp3 playlist when the NDS is closed or not
DLDI patching is required.
PuzzleManiak file and “PZMK” folder must be extracted on your linker root.
The file PuzzleManiak.sco is now located in Pzmk folder.
If you’re not a new player, you should replace the provided PuzzleManiak.sco by your one. This puzzlemaniak.sco file stores the overall ranking, while the Player0.Sco (in pzmk folder) file stores the socres of the player with the 1st profile, and so on. So, if you’re alone playing PuzzleManiak on your NDS, you should also replace the PLAYER0.SCO file by a copy of your old PuzzleManiak.sco file (obviously renamed to player0.sco). I hope this is not too confusing…
I spent a lot of time on this new version, so I hope you’ll have fun with it.
As usual, all feedbacks would be really appreciated.

What with its lingering financial worries and loss of licenses, Atari is a lot like a three-legged dog seen limping pitifully to the side of the road. We want to help, we do, but we've already got a perfectly good dog at home with all four legs intact. With so much hardship, it's evident that much of Atari's livelihood seems pinned on the success of the upcoming franchise reboot of Alone in the Dark, so it's unsurprising that the company has opted to release the survival horror title for the Wii (shown) and PlayStation 2 in addition to the previously announced versions in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
The long-delayed game, which marks the fifth title in the Alone in the Dark franchise, was first announced in 2005, and features a script penned by Sleepers author Lorenzo Carcaterra. Interestingly, however, while the earlier announced versions of the game are being developed by Test Drive Unlimited devs Eden, the Wii and PS2 duties have been handed off to French developer Hydravision, which has some survival horror chops themselves having developed the Obscure series of games. It's still anyone's guess when Alone in the Dark in any form will make it to retail, though considering that there hasn't been a decent title in the series since Edward Carnby's 1992 debut, we think we can wait.

New special offer from Play Asia:
It's nice to know that in the fast-changing world of video games, some things never change. Take Mario's archrival. Wario looks great on the Game Boy Advance, but he's still the same money-mad rascal who has starred in some of the greatest hand-held platformers of all time.
This time around, a tale about a golden pyramid is enough to send the big blowhard scurrying off to the nearest jungle. Sure enough he finds the joint, but before he can collect his booty he'll have to undergo a brain- and body-bending series of challenges.
In each level, Wario must collect a key that can open the passage's next level. Unearthing a CD in each level not only scores him big bucks, but the chance for rap master Wario to spin his new tune in the pyramid's Sound Room. Wario cannot face a passage's end boss until he collects all four Gem Pieces hidden in each level.
Nintendo's Gameboy Advance™ classic Wario Land Advance (aka. Wario Land 4) is now available at discounted US$ 9.99 only.

News/release from bigjoe2000
I've been working on this on and off for the past couple of weeks and I think it's ready for release. Please be gentle as this is my first crack at any handheld development.
BackupBuddy is a simple utility that finds all the new .sav files on your card and uploads them to an FTP server. The idea here is that you run this utility when you plug your DS in to charge at night. A few minutes later, you can rest assured that all your day's hard play will be backed up.
This assumes you can connect to a wireless network and have access to an FTP server.
So, the first time you run it, it will write a config file in your /DATA/SETTINGS directory (the directory will be created automatically if it doesn't exist). Then launch your favorite editor *cough*DSOrganize*cough* and enter in your FTP server settings. Now go back and launch BackupBuddy again and watch it send all your .savs to backupeddy goodness.
Turn your sound up and you'll hear a reassuring sound whenever a file is successfully transmitted (and a bad sound, which you'll hopefully never hear, on error). When this program is done, it will turn off your DS automatically.
I've only tested this using a CycloDS, but I think it will work with any slot 1 and slot 2 cards (although you may have to do some patching for DLDI and whatnot.. don't really know cause Cyclo is me-proof)
You can peruse the source and/or build yourself if you're so inclined. Feel free to use and abuse any code snippets you find. I only ask that you let me know if you found the program useful and please let me know if you [had trouble|weren't able to] actually getting it working
README
BackupBuddy.nds
BackupBuddy.ds.gba
source
Although I don't see how it could possibly corrupt your memory card, I highly recommend you backup your save files with your tried and true method before running this for the first time. I'd hate to see someone lose their sav files because of this utility.
Of course, I make no warranties, expressed or implied. If your DS implodes, transporting you and the entire eastern seaboard through a wormhole back to the big bang, I cannot be held responsible.
Please leave some feedback and/or bug reports here if you try it
If there's any interest generated here, I'll probably work on adding an actual GUI and making it pretty. But really it's just something I know I'll use every day and if someone else finds it useful, that would be cool.

News from Ant512:
Based on the fact that I don’t get much time to work on my homebrew projects, and that Woopsi is currently monopolising all of that time, I’ve decided to release what little of DefenderDS I managed to put together.
The archive is here:
DefenderDS
As usual, it’s a VC++ project. The whole lot is under the BSD licence, so pinch any bits that you want for your own projects (remembering to abide by the few restrictions imposed by the licence).
From what I remember, the interesting parts of the code are the animated sprite class, palette cycler class and the sprite number management system (which would need to be stripped out of the Game class and inserted into a new class to be useful). The sprite class simulates a fixed-point single decimal place for sub-pixel movements, by internally multiplying all its values by 10 (though it doesn’t do sub-pixel rendering, natch). The wrap-around functions are specific to Defender, though, and probably won’t be much use elsewhere.
The code is getting on for 8 months old, so I’d probably do things in a different way now. Looking through it, I can’t see any obvious problems, though, aside from it not drawing an explicit distinction between class members and other variables in the naming convention.
So far, it has the following features:
Background mountains
Humans
Landers that scout for humans, tracking the mountain terrain
Lander warp-in
Lander explosions
Lander mutation
Scrolling
Palette cycling
Scanner
My homebrewing plans for the future mainly involve Woopsi - getting the library finished, possibly porting it to the GP2X-F200, and then maybe even writing some applications with it (as that was the whole point of the exercise). Unfortunately, that means DefenderDS is probably a dead project. Shame, really, as this whole blog exists solely because I wanted to keep a development diary for the game. Funny how things turn out, innit? Still, DefenderDS served its purpose - it was an introduction into DS homebrewing, let me dust off my Blitz BASIC skills, and expanded my C++ knowledge.

via Computer and Video Games
Nintendo has enforced a size limit of 40MB for any original game that is to appear on the Wii Ware (known here as Wii Software) download service.
This, in case you don't know, is a very small amount of space for a whole game. Storage space is an issue with Wii, and although Nintendo insists Wii doesn't have a storage problem, these are clearly measures taken to stop Wii Ware games from clogging up the system.
Another of Nintendo's restrictions is to the number of releases any one company can make on the service - no more than one a month, which is reasonable. If companies are banging out games that quickly they'd probably be not worth the their disc space.
And, according to IGN, most of the games are being made on a budget of under $100,000 [£48,700]which, in this day and age, is nothing.

Alex has released an updated version of his Puzzle game collection for the DS, heres the news:
The ‘hall of fame’ feature is back in this version 3.1 and some bugs found in the version 3.0 have been corrected.
The hall of fame replaces the old ‘high scores’ page (on web site).
The hall of fame is divided in 4 rankings for each game/each level.
These rankings are computed from the scores submitted:
* Since the beginning of Puzzlemaniak
* Since midnight (GMT)
* Since the last 7 days(GMT)
* Since the last 30 days(GMT)
The hall of fame stores the 20 best scores of each game/level.
That’s also the case of the Global Ranking, that is now computed for the 20 first players on each game/level (and scores are thus balanced to 200 instead of 100).

Scott McFly has updated his Blackjack game for DS:
I posted the first, text-based version of this about 7 weeks ago as my first homebrew app, and the response was that graphics were needed. So after some playing about with graphics, sprites and whatnot for a while, here's version 0.2, now with some eye-pleasing graphics and touch screen controls!
To summarise the game, it's a Blackjack game where the object is to get to 21 with your cards without going over. It's a fairly well known game, so the rules should be straight-forward. I'll be including a complete rule explanation in the program on a later release. As in the previous release, the random number generator is only random when used on a DS, so use the program on actual hardware for the bet experience.
The next improvements I have in mind are graphics for the playing area (top screen), some sound effects, possibly some background music and the option to split your hand should you start with 2 cards of the same value.
My vision of the program is to eventually offer a fully-customisable Blackjack experience, as Blackjack rules vary considerably in every region, country and establishment in the world, and I want the user to be able to enable, disable or tweak any rules or options applicable to their preference.
Any feedback would be appreciated, as I mentioned, I only had 1 piece of feedback from the 1st release and I took it on board, so I really do value everyone's opinion!
Thanks!

Jim E has updated his TI-83+ Emulator for Nintendo DS:
New features:
* Save and suspend bug fixed(hopefully)
* Back light turns off on menu screen and when the calc is off after 45 seconds of non use.
* Off is a much darker shade of grey
* Scaling for portrait mode is improved, makes text more legible.
and probably some other little things here and there.

We're happy to see yet another Wii Zapper knock-off hitting the shelves. What's this one bring to the table? Well, first off, you save a sweet four bucks off the retail Wii Zapper (though we're guessing Link's Crossboy Training is worth at least that much). But on top of that tremendous savings, you also get a banana clip hand grip for full-on guerrilla-style warfare. Would Nintendo ever support tropical jungle mercenary justice? Don't think so. Lamos.

Jeff has released a new version of his Rogue clone for the Nintendo DS and GBA, heres whats new:
*Will wonders never cease? Another weekly update! More work on the familiars to make them powerful companions. Also played with a lot of spell costs/books to make things more useful.
He who cannot be spelled properly has had a significant upgrade, so be wary in the end game.
Added a signpost in the tutorial warning of kiwis along with a kiwi to be warned of.
Familiars always have 10 HP rather than being a the mercy of a die roll.
On level up NPCs will gain a half magic level if they are magic users.
Some monsters have an advancement track. When they reach a certain threshold level they will grow into a new monster type.
Water walking creatures are now aware that they are not safe from acid so will no longer wander to their doom. (hotpoo)
Reworked how god distribute spells. This allows some more variety in non-wizard gods. Quizar will now grant spells on occasion, for example. Likewise, Pax will grant Flamestrike and Tlosh Magic Missile. (hotpoo)
Famliars will learn spells as they level up.
Track added to familiar tome.
New spells: diagnose, summon demon.
Summon Imp made cheaper.
Boosted power of Baezel'bub.
Page up and Page down can be used to quickly navigate lists, as can [R] and [L] on the GBA.
You can now Split Stacks in the inventory screen. This peels off one item and places it separate from the stack. Useful if you want to drop one or all but one of something breakable.
When you finish getting help on a spell or skill you are returned to the skill selection menu rather than to the inventory menu.
'?' can be used to get help on skills in the read menu as well as 'i'.
When you finish viewing a help item, you are returned to the help list rather than the main game.
Gameboy Advance [375k].
Nintendo DS [725k].

We already knew Nintendo was anticipating Wii shortages this holiday season, but it's just the beginning of November and UK retailers are already reporting dwindling supplies. While we're certain the problem is at least in part due ot what Nintendo cheerfully calls "unprecedented demand," it's a little ridiculous for there still to be supply issues a year after the Wii's launch. Come on Ninty, get crackin' -- that Vii is starting to look pretty tempting.

Nintendo has disputed some of the Wii Software (WiiWare) details announced in an IGN podcast this week, which claimed that WiiWare titles would be capped at 40MB, that developers would set their own prices and be limited to releasing one game per month.
"I can confirm as we originally said at the announcement of the WiiWare service earlier in the year that WiiWare games will come in a range of sizes but we will encourage smaller, more compact games for the service," a Nintendo spokesperson told Eurogamer today.
"I can also confirm we are contemplating that developers will be able to release one game per month during the launch window in order for us to address potential volume issues.
"We have not revealed any details about who sets pricing for WiiWare titles. However it is important to remember that one of the keys aspects of the WiiWare service is to allow everyone access to fresh, new content at a low price."
Nintendo is officially classifying the information as "speculation" despite the statement above.
Wii Software, the official title in Europe, but more commonly known as WiiWare - its official name in America and Japan - is a system a bit like Xbox Live Arcade or PlayStation Network that allows developers to create smaller games and sell them to consumers for lower prices than boxed copies.
Nintendo hopes the service will encourage independent teams and those who lack the wherewithal to produce big games to get involved with Wii development as the console's installed base grows and its free online service, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, continues to attract users.

Here at Joystiq, we like to have some fun with our Nega-reviews. When the critical apparatus tells us almost unanimously that a game is undeniably good, we like to pick apart their words and find out what small negatives can be found in the overwhelmingly positive whole. This was a bit tough for Super Mario Galaxy, a game that got high praise all around. It wouldn't have been nearly as tough if we'd had access to Variety's review of the game, which went up on Monday.
While the Variety review praises the game's original level design and gravity-based gameplay, the majority of the writing picks apart the game's weak story, limited two-player mode and awkward camera controls. What's more, a large portion of the review seems targeted at the Wii itself, from blanket condemnation of the two-handed controller ("Holding the nunchuk, ... and the Wii-mote ... in separate hands, is an awkward arrangement") to criticism of the system's graphical prowess ("Fans may claim that the graphics are good 'for the Wii,' ... but given the vastly superior quality of the graphics in a game like Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction ... Galaxy looks old fashioned and lifeless.")
While we can't say we agree with all the criticisms, it's always interesting to see a major outlet going against the tide of positive opinion to create a negative review. You know, a real one.

Infectus has posted on their website that they will have a D2C modchip that will only consist of 13 wires to install which includes the gnd and vcc (D2CKey required 31 wires). They also stated that in the next few days, a new programmer will be released.
No pictures how of the chip will look like but when available, we'll post it. But when this is released, this would be the second D2C modchip for the Wii.

News/release from Wizlon:
I really hope I’m not going to dissapoint people here because this version is rather sparse. The main feature I’ve added is the options screen which contains a selection of fonts, backgrounds and the requested “lefty” mode, which turns all the chords on their heads. I hope its useful. You’ll also notice that any options selected will be saved when you turn your DS back on, (thats save support kyle), which should come in useful. I’ve also left in a very early vesion of the edit screen, in it you can edit the text in files, you can’t save them just yet, just edit them, so basically it’s pretty useless. At least I’ve done something eh? Till next time.

Gorgull has released a new build of his app for the DS, heres the details:
DScratch is the first module (or "protein") made using Protein engine - it's a little audio manipulation software running on DS which ables you to play with an existing .wav file or recorded audio sample; you can pitch it, scratch it, rewind, mute and apply effects on it. Moreover, DScratch sends MIDI through wifi connection, which ables you to control external applications, like VJing software as I do, and can be motion-controlled.
FEATURES:

pitch control
FX "Retrig"

According to at least one analyst, Nintendo's not just resting on its laurels while the DS Lite produces incomprehensible piles of cash. Evan Wilson, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities, got word from his inside source that a DS redesign is actually already done, and Nintendo's just waiting around for DS Lite sales to cool off a bit -- which, unfortunately for those pining for new hardware, doesn't seem to be happening just yet. The redesign, which has been rumored before, supposedly is thinner thanks to the absence of a Game Boy Advance port, includes a larger screen and rocks some built-in storage, which we imagine could have some great uses in the right hands. Obviously, Nintendo's Game Boy Advance only made it through three hardware iterations, which begs the question of when we'll see a brand new handheld platform from Nintendo, though we can't say we'd blame them for sticking to this generation for another couple years of insane wealth and staggering stock price.

The internet is alive with the living-dead speculation that Sega is set to release a House of the Dead package for Wii.
According to reports, game rental site Gamefly.com was listing House of the Dead Return 2&3 for Nintendo's console. We say "was", because the game listing appears to have now been removed....
However, not before it was spotted by Neo Gaf forumites, who also appear to be suggesting the following information has come from PR for Sega Europe:
In THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2&3 RETURN, players will be able to play both versions of the game, battling the relentless attack of bloodthirsty zombies with steady aim and a quick trigger finger.
Utilising the innovative new Wii Zapper or the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, players will experience branching storylines with over six game modes including Arcade Mode and Time Attack modes that will test their shooting skills. THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2&3 RETURN features an engaging single-player campaign, plus a co-op multiplayer mode for up to two players for countless hours of zombie shooting action.
"THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD franchise has been revamped for today's gamer looking for fast-paced shooting action on the Wii" commented Gary Knight, Marketing Director of SEGA Europe. "Utilising the new Wii Zapper, the player can get the renowned light gun experience in their own home."
THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD is famous for its heart-pounding pace and the great visual detail of the vast armies of unique enemies. Blasting through legions of grotesque zombies and mutated monsters, players eventually face-off against colossal boss creatures that will test the accuracy and skill of every Wii gamer.
THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2&3 RETURN will be available for the Wii home video game system from Nintendo in spring 2008.
We've received no such press release or word from Sega Europe on such a game for Wii, but we'll be hitting the phones later this morning to find out the score.

The Club Nintendo shop on the official Japanese Nintendo website is giving away a Wii controller that looks exactly like a Super NES pad, and a two-disc Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack to its members.
Nintendo promises the pant-wetting gear to Platinum members of the site - who will have had to have bought and registered a certain number of Nintendo games - similar to the European equivalent Stars catalogue.
The SNES pad is a classic controller shaped exactly like the old original, and will be sent to the lucky members in April next year. The 81-song Galaxy soundtrack will turn up in January. Of course, you have to live in Japan or its no cake for you.
Meanwhile, the kick-in-the-balls UK equivalent is offering wallpaper pictures for mobile phones (that you can make yourself with a little effort), and the only game available - Age of Empires: the Age of Kings - has been sold out for months.
Just look at the awesome stuff Japan gets. Then consider moving there.

Nintendo has responded to an analyst's claims that it has completed work on a new version of its DS Lite handheld, maintaining that it is "rumour and speculation and we are not commenting further."
Evan Wilson, from Pacific Crest Securities, is quoted in a GameSpot report as saying that the new model was "thinner, has on-board storage, and larger screens," and would lose the GBA port to accommodate the changes.
The report continued that any new version of the hardware wouldn't be unveiled for some time, "until sales begin to tail off in all three major geographies."
While Nintendo has a history of periodically refreshing its handheld consoles, such as the GameBoy Advance and also the DS, it's possible that a new edition may come as some point, but the company is refusing to be drawn further for now.

Via email i got from GameworldDirect.co.uk
I don't know if it's true or not, but apparently the latest firmware update from Nintendo will render your Nintendo Wii console useless as it is said to not play ANY games whatsoever, it is also said not to complete any updates until they have further information.

Capcom business development boss Christian Svensson has revealed that Okami Wii would never had been made if you lot hadn't belly-ached about it.
He was chatting openly on the official US blog, praising you lot for being so tenacious and helping prove there was an appetite for it.
"Even before the Okami's PS2 release, the media and Capcom fans would constantly ask us if it was ever going to come to Wii, citing the interface as being ideal for the brush mechanics," chirped Svensson.
"Okami Wii specifically exists because of that direct communication, especially those we receive on our message boards (even if they're sometimes mean to us)."
You may remember us giving Okami top marks on PS2, but despite our - and many others - singing and dancing it failed to fly off of shop shelves. For Svensson, this was a problem bought about by the choice of platform.
He added: "The bulk of our core audience was thinking about new platforms. And while there are standout new IP successes like God of War that released that same year (albeit 9 months earlier than Okami), its was still an uphill battle no matter how you sliced it."
Ready at Dawn, of Daxter and God of War PSP fame, is handling the port - a relationship formed in a hotel suite at GDC back in March and helped considerably by the onset of beer.
But the choice was far from easy, according to Svensson; for a game as beloved as Okami only the best would ever be good enough for the Capcom's table [get out - Ed].
"This was never going to be a quick turn and burn cash in..." proclaimed Svensson. "The project was far too important to do anything other than applying the utmost TLC if we were going to be successful."
The Wii version has no new content as Capcom feels it is big enough already, but alongside the new and naturally fitting motion-sensing controls Svensson hinted we may see some technical nips and tucks. Quick, belly-ache about 16:9 support.
So far work on Okami Wii is going swimmingly, and Svensson is confident it will be in (US) shops by next spring.
"As it stands today, the team has the game assets converted (quite the laborious process), up and running in a ported version of Clover's engine. There are still several systems getting set up properly but there's most definitely a Wii-driven Amaterasu running around Wii-rendered environments as we speak," concluded Svensson.

Not much going on in the land of Virtual Console this week, with only the Nintendo Entertainment System's 1989 basketballer Double Dribble to download.
Offering "realistic five-on-five action" (steady) on a horizontally scrolling court, it doesn't sound like the most amazing example of the noble sport of being tall and wiggling ever committed to read-only memory, but it is only 500 Wii Points. Er.
Anyway, if you want to get a better idea of its quality, try peering at some helpful screenshots provided by Nintendo, or hang around and our beloved scribe Dan Whitehead will no doubt knock up one of his Virtual Console Roundups for us. Should be a belter!

Super Smash Bros. Brawl is set to include a new Spectator mode that allows you to watch random matches over the Internet and gamble on the results.
Unveiled on the official Smash Bros. DOJO!! website, Spectator mode does much as it says - although, this being Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, no player data is actually shared, so you can't groom anyone. Aw.
Surely the best bit though is that when you get into your random match, you can bet coins on the character you think will win before it kicks off. Which is just wicked.
Spectator mode joins an ever-growing list of cool little bonuses announced for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which already has a star-GET-studded character line-up and a PictoChat-themed level.
If it's anywhere near as good as the GameCube one, we're all in for a treat when it's released early next year.

With Wii continuing to do incredibly well, third parties are jumping on board faster than we can keep track of, but Nintendo wants devs to "take time" on their creations instead of rushing out quick cash-ins.
Speaking of Wii's healthy third party support, Nintendo of America's George Harrison said: "Certainly there's a strong line-up of third party titles, and we're trying to encourage them to make them.
"But, we're also trying to encourage third parties to take the time and effort to make something unique, not just to sort of throw something out on Wii because the Wii's the fast-selling system."
We're glad it's not just us noticing what's going on - late ports from old consoles, broken Wii Remote controls and the rest of the gumpf we've seen from too many third party productions.
He then goes on to state the obvious: "I think the ones that have spent the most time in the box are the ones that are going to be the most successful this holiday."
Elsewhere in the interview with our friends over at Next-Gen, he discusses Nintendo's production numbers for Wii, in light of the ongoing global shortages.
"I can't give an exact number for November and December. We had to make our final decision on how much to produce each month for the holidays back in the summer. It takes about five months for us to increase the actual monthly rate of production," he said.
He goes on to reveal: "We're at a rate now worldwide of about 1.8 million Wiis produced every month, and that's going to sustain itself until we get on top of this. We're trying to make decisions on almost a weekly basis about which market to ship the product to, because in Japan it's a big success, and same in Europe."
Insert potentially offensive joke about the poor, over-worked souls churning out 1.8 million consoles a year here.

In an interview with Next-Gen, Nintendo of America's George Harrison was asked just how many Wiis we can expect to see on the shelf come Christmas time. Despite initially trying the old "well, we won't meet demand" line, George eventually fesses up and dishes with the cold, hard numbers:
I can't give an exact number for November and December. We had to make our final decision on how much to produce each month for the holidays back in the summer. It takes about five months for us to increase the actual monthly rate of production. We're at a rate now worldwide of about 1.8 million Wiis produced every month, and that's going to sustain itself until we get on top of this.
That's a global figure, by the way. 1.8 million. Divide that up amongst North America, Europe, Japan and everywhere else, and you get...oh dear.

As for the teaser site, you can access it here. The full site will open on 11/26 after all the details have appeared in the magazine.

OK, so, this is the first application that I have made. Ever.
This is a simple text writer for DS, that saves to your flashcart whatever you write. Not tested yet, and I have yet to put the credits. Just a simple text writer, really.
I myself haven't tried it.
Hope you like it.

Like some of our editors here at Engadget, we know you long for the carefree, multi-hued days of the Super Nintendo and all its Mode 7 glory. Well, if you live in Japan, are a member of Club Nintendo (wherein you earn points for purchases of the company's games and accessories), and have the patience to wait until April, you could be the proud owner of the Wii SNES (Super Famicom, rather) controller. The gamepad won't be commercially available, nor will it be offered stateside (as far as we know), so now is the time to firm up your relationships with Japanese friends, or start saving pennies for your forthcoming eBay bidding war. Either way, the chance to relive your youth is just around the corner.

Despite certain reviews that highlight the game's flaws, Super Mario Galaxy is currently the highest rated game of all time on Game Rankings. The aeronautical plumber surpassed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time by the skin of his pearly Italian teeth, with an average score of 97.8 percent from 30 reviews to Zelda's 97.6 percent from 31 reviews.
While all it would take is one less-than-flattering review to knock the game from its pedestal, we're sure Mario's position on top of the dog pile is enough to give Wii owners and Nintendo fanboys something to gloat about. That is, until M&M's Kart Racing inevitably seizes the throne.

Just when you think the world has seen its fill of questionably-useful Wiimote hacks, some pranksters have to go and get AIBO involved. Disguised as a research project on human device interaction, the Wiibot hails from University of Calgary and involves a pair of Wiimotes and nunchucks -- the nunchucks are naturally strapped to the user's biceps -- for bending the AIBO to their will. In the video after the break you can see this interface method pitted against archaic keyboard input, or you can check out the read link to see these nerds try to justify these kinds of shenanigans.

New from Mr Modchips
This device pulses any LEDs you connect to it with the beat of the music coming from your console. It can also fade your LEDs when the console is off. This device also works on the Nintendo Wii's lightbar around the disk slot to pulse and fade it.
17 different modes allow you to set your LEDs to the VU mode, fader, dim, solid on, off, or any combination of those.
Change modes easily by using an existing button on your console, rather than opening your console each time or installing another switch. A Quick Disable feature lets you quickly turn off your LEDs and then quickly turn them back on at a later time.
The PulseVU 2 controls up to 360mA (~18 LEDs), or purchase a Power Extender to add an additional 3Amps of power (~150 more LEDs).
Simpler install for Wii -- No more difficult MP point
Now works on Wii even if you don't have WiiConnect24 enabled
Much smaller, simplified design

New from Mr Modchips
This is an attachment for the PulseVU 2 or PulseVU 2X which adds up to an additional 3Amps* of power for controlling multiple** LEDs. Still not enough power?? Add more Power Extenders! As long as the power supply (or supplies) can handle the power, you can keep adding Extenders to connect LEDs to the PulseVU 2 lineup.
*The amount of current that can be supplied is also limited by your power supply. Please check the rating on your PSU to make sure it can handle the amount of LEDs you plan to use.
**3Amps of 20mA LEDs, wired in parallel, equals 150 LEDs. When wired in series, you can add even more LEDs.

Bigjoe2000 has updated his app for the DS, heres the details:
BackupBuddy is a simple utility that finds all files of the extensions you specift on your card and uploads them to an FTP server. The idea here is that you run this utility when you plug your DS in to charge at night. A few minutes later, you can rest assured that all your day's hard play will be backed up.
New Release. 0.9.1b
1. Supports multiple file types, not just .sav
2. Supports ignore directories (Specify what directories not to scan for files)
3. Allows you to preserve the path, so a file at /Moonshell/bookmarks.sav can now be saved on your FTP server under "upload/Moonshell/bookmarks.sav" You can also turn this feature off and just have all your files saved under "upload"
4. Added applause sound when backup is complete.
5. Renamed configuration file to /data/settings/bb.conf
6. Timestamp is now stored in separate file, so your config file will not be rewritten

graph05 has updated DsKara, his karaoke application for the DS.
you now have a single interface (Rom now weighs less than 200kb), which manages the karaokes. At the root of your memory card, you create a folder / DsKara / containing the songs. Raw and files in karaokes. The files must have the same name (for example, if you have a song.dsk get an song.raw, one for the karaoke, another for music)
Changelog:
- Lightweight changes on the skin
- Adding an interface to select the song
- Stop karaoke (which leads back to the choice of the song) with the B key
- Support external files. Dsk for karaoke. Raw for the song

GCFTP v1.0 by emu_kidid
A FTP Server for the Nintendo Gamecube built with libOGC. This FTP server in no way meets all of the requirements of the complete FTP protocol, however it does work in FlashFXP which is what I tested with.
Features:
Backup and restore memory card files
Backup DVD Games or individual files from inside them
Saving of configuration to memory card and Auto Loading config
Maximum Speed is about 1.6mb/s to 2.3mb/s from DVD
Note there is no resuming of downloads/uploads and there is NO delete feature as files on the memcard are not easily recognized from their internal filenames and you may make a mistake. Also, please only upload valid .GCI files to a memory card.. I have done some checks to see if it is valid, but if it's not, I am not responsible if you somehow corrupt a card.
Thanks to:
shagkur, wintermute and softdev for libogc
Note: There's a PDF showing the features in use and how to configure this program included in the archive.
Also, don't Abort a download half way through from the FTP because you'll have to restart the DOL. This is something I'll fix in the near future.

Nintendo's DS handheld has sold over 20 million units in Japan since launch, according to data from Media Create.
The system was originally launched in December 2004, and in February 2006 was relaunched at the DS Lite, with Nintendo reducing the size of the handheld as well as making other cosmetic changes.
Since release, the DS and DS Lite have accounted for 50.26 per cent of the hardware market in the region, with 83.95 million software units sold, or 40 per cent of the entire software market.

Sega has confirmed last week's rumours that old House of the Dead games will be coming to the Wii.
The second and third instalments of the zombie shooter will indeed be bundled together and released on Wii next spring. A perfect excuse to pick up the Wii Zapper then, which will be in the shops bundled with Link's Crossbow Training before the year's out.
Arcade and Time Attack modes will both be available, says Sega, along with single-player and co-operative antics. It'll be interesting to see if the earlier game is an Dreamcast port or straight from the arcade.
Sega's also bringing its current arcade shooter Ghost Squad to Wii.
"The House of the Dead franchise has been revamped for today's gamer looking for fast-paced shooting action on the Wii" commented Sega marketing man Gary Knight in the press release. "Utilising the new Wii Zapper, the player can get the renowned light gun experience in their own home."
After a quiet few years it looks like we're finally in the middle of a lightgun revival.

A year year has passed since the Nintendo Wii first burst onto the scene, becoming the simultaneous joy and frustration for gamers around the world, as huge numbers were sold and even bigger numbers of frustrated parents and fans began a year-long struggle to obtain one of the elusive white boxes.
While those who didn't get one continuously called game stores asking the question that many clerks still have nightmares about, waking up suddenly in a cold sweat screaming, "We don't have any Wiis, okay!?", we proud owners have been waking up every Monday to a new set of classic games to enjoy.
Now fickle Nintendo punishes us for our pride by releasing Sonic 3D Blast. One of the first bad Sonic games, 3D Blast (800 points) was technically neither, featuring pre-rendered sprites and a definite lack of fun. While we also get Super Air Zonk for the TurboGrafx16 CD (800 points) and Wrecking Crew (500 points), one of the few Mario games not named Mario-something, nothing can wash off the stink of Sonic 3D Blast. Happy Birthday Wii! Please don't hurt us anymore.

Defense of the Ancients (often referred to as DotA) is a custom map for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for the Blizzard title Starcraft. It is a team strategy game focused on hero combat. The objective is to destroy the opponents' base using one's own Hero along with allied heroes and allied AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". Sharing concepts with role playing games, the player levels up their hero and uses gold to buy equipment in an effort to best the opposing team.
Sounds very interesting to me, lets wish the coder a speedy release

Shash has posted more WIP news of his DS Emulator for Windows:
Yesterday I was rather bored for a few hours (even if I've a lot of real life stuff to do...), so after checking some information from the DS cartridge header (for some unrelated work still to be done), I thought how hard it'd be to add an icon viewer to the "Game Info" dialog. Extracting it from the header wasn't that hard, as the format is quite simple: a 32x32 pixels icon, stored on a 8x8 tile basis, 4bits per pixel, which are used to lookup on a fixed 16 colour palette (per icon).
In fact, converting the icon was easy, but I had major problems due to some recent changes, as I forgot I needed to use GDI+ to draw stuff on dialogs, rather than using plain GDI (that's what all desmume uses on the windows port). When I moved the drawing code of the icon to GDI+, it worked perfectly. I deleted all the MAP/OAM/etc viewers that relied on GDI code, as I plan to rewrite the GUI in the near future anyway, so there's no point in fixing that code.
After that, I wanted to finally fix the last bits of Mario&Luigi to look perfect. A few weeks ago, I cared to make it run where it "freezed" in the past: in fact, it didn't freeze, just took ages to render a new frame, due to a rather important bug in the 3D core. The main problem after that, is that ALL textures looked wrong: for example, where Koopa should be, only textures of arrows were shown.
When approaching the problem, I had only a stupid idea of what could be: due to the way the display lists are handled, there was a slight chance that the texture bind before drawing the polygons was done in wrong order. Well, to make a long story short, I was wrong: I tried changing a few bits, even hacking some stuff, and it didn't fix anything. In fact, the fix was easier and more logical.
I've been coding on PC for quite a few years, and I'm quite used to some stuff working in a certain way. While emulating the 3D core of the DS, I've already fallen on that problem quite a few times: on the DS, setting attributes per polygon (without starting a "primitive block") isn't that rare, for example, transformations (scaling, for example :P). In this case, it was the texture changing while the primitive block was open. I guess that, if you want to draw all the stuff onscreen, and you only use one type of primitive (a quad, for example), then changing the texture within the primitive block isn't that rare.
Anyway, adding the ability to change textures within a primitive block fixed "Mario&Luigi: Partners in time" and "Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings", so now both seem to be 100% playable and glitch free (and run rather fast). The usual screenshots:

1996, the original Tomb Raider was launched. The 3D game design, controls and graphics were truly ground breaking for their time. Furthermore, gamers were also presented with a unique, female human playable character with which they could become emotionally attached, Lara Croft. The original Tomb Raider sold over seven million copies and is still heralded as an absolute classic and one of the best action adventure games ever. Tomb Raider defined the PlayStation and changed the way that people played games.
In tribute to this and to celebrate and commemorate the continuing development of the Tomb Raider franchise and its central character, Crystal Dynamics are developing a new Tomb Raider adventure for Lara. Inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game; Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary faithfully preserves the elements which made the original Tomb Raider game such a classic.
Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology and physics bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

Nintendo says it's shocked at the overwhelming number of orders it has had for its new DS TV Tuner peripheral, due out in Japan this Friday.
Despite Nintendo having been pretty quiet about its DS TV tuner peripheral (hence you may never have heard of it), it is reported that the company has actually received "too many" orders for the peripheral since pre-orders opened on the official site on November 8.
The new tuner allows the DS to pick up Japan's 1seg TV broadcast service (no, we don't have that here), and has completely sold out way ahead of its release on November 23 for 6,800 yen (a touch under £30).
"As it was television (not game), we intended to begin accepting the orders quietly without prior announcement," a Nintendo representative told Japanese site J-Cast. "We had not expected so many accesses would be made." We believe by "accesses" they mean "orders" - rubbish internet translators.
A standard analogue TV tuner was released in UK for GBA, but no TV tuner device has been announced for DS over here.

Nintendo has underestimated the demand for their soon to be released Nintendo DS TV Tuner. The TV Tuner is to be released in Japan on November 23rd for 6,800 yen (about $60USD). Since the peripheral is not a game, Nintendo started to accept orders without making prior announcements regarding placing orders which started on November 8th.
The TV Tuner allows the DS to pick up Japan's 1seg TV broadcast service. No word if a TV Tuner would be released in the US or in Europe but it is available for purchase at Play-Asia.
Here are some images of the TV Tuner.

Morgands has updated his Rubiks Cube game for the DS, heres the release info:
I have finished coding all the turning functions. I also added touchscreen controls to make it less confusing. The icons with an 'i' are inverse functions (for example, R turns the right side of the cube clockwise while Ri turns the right side of the cube counterclockwise). Pressing the start button will reset the cube.

Americaland Nintendo has confirmed that it will be launching two new special edition DS bundles on Friday in the States - but Nintendo Europe says there are "no plans" to release them here.
The new bundles - one for Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and one for the Best Friends version of Nintendogs - each come with a specially printed DS model.
My birthday's next weekend, by the way.
The Zelda one (pictured, unless I've forgotten) is gold with a Triforce logo in one corner, while the Nintendogs one is pink with a footprint in the same position. Neither is as nice as my red and black one, so ner.
Although neither version is available in Europe, we do have a choice of white, black, pink and silver.
The new DS bundles will go on sale in the US for USD 149.99, which saves a few "dollars", which you could then spend on Slitherlink or Picross DS if you're any kind of human.

Nintendo has revealed that Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii sold over 500,000 units in its first week of sale in the US.
"Super Mario Galaxy had the strongest one-week debut of any Wii game to date and has also become the best-selling Mario title ever in its first week, with US sales of more than 500,000, based on internal sales figures," commented George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing.
Released in Europe last Friday, the game debuted at number five in the UK all-formats charts, although the Chart Track data only accounts for the first two days of sale in the region.

So, Mario and Sonic's first game together lands this Friday, after years of playground scuffles over which character is better.
Sega is confident the Olympic match-up is going to be a multi-million seller, and rightly so because, as well as the inevitable boost it'll get from next year's sporting event, it's pretty good fun, as you can read in this review.
In the direct-feed footage viewable in our video player, we take you through a selection of track and field events, as well as shooting and swimming. Then we finish off with Mario and Sonic throwing the platforming squabbles aside and just getting down to the nitty gritty: stabbing each other in the chest in a fencing face-off.
Oh, and the flashy intro video is in here too, for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
Two videos here

Nintendo is planning an optional update to its Wii Photo Channel this December which will, if downloaded, replace MP3-music playback compatibility with support of the AAC audio format. In addition, gamers will be able to personalize their Wii Menu by replacing the Photo Channel icon with a digital picture of their own.
Writes Nintendo on its official website: "Consumers with MP3 compatible Photo Channels will have the option of updating their Photo Channel to version 1.1, which replaces MP3 compatibility with the ability to play AAC files. AAC files provide a greater sound quality than an MP3 of the same size. This new compatibility will work with MP4 audio files in the .m4a format. Additionally, you can now choose to have the songs play back in a random order."
Any Wii consoles sold after December will automatically feature the latest version of Photo Channel. Gamers who already own the console will have the option to install the new update.
"Please note that once the Photo Channel has been updated to version 1.1, the channel will no longer be able to play MP3 format music files," writes Nintendo. However, this update will not have any bearing on in-game playback of MP3 music. "Wii games that currently have features which use MP3 music files will continue to use the MP3 file format. These Wii games will not be compatible with the AAC files," the company adds.

We knew it was just a matter of time before something like this happened, particularly with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed headed to the Wii next Spring, but it's good to see a lightsaber attachment come early.
Available to order now through Play.com, this third-party accessory sports a power up / down effect to get your saber a-glowin' (and dimmed back down), 22 ultra-bright LEDs and an on / off switch for good measure. The adornment relies on a trio of AA cells to stay lit, and while it isn't slated to ship until later this month, you can commence searching for an extra £14.99 ($31) right away.

HMV has told GamesIndustry.biz that the Nintendo Wii is selling out within minutes of going on sale, as consumer appetite for the console continues to massively outstrip supply.
The High Street retailer is confident it receives a fair share of stock as Nintendo does its best to meet demand, but admits to a frustration in not being able to fulfil customer's needs.
"Our store on Oxford Street had a delivery last week and it sold out in 34 minutes," revealed Tim Ellis, HMV's head of games. "That gives you an idea of how many we could actually sell."
"We're selling out so quickly at the moment it's frustrating for all parties concerned and it's the same everywhere. If we weren't getting any stock and everyone else was we'd be crying about it but we seem to be getting our fair share," he said.
Software for Nintendo's home console is also enjoying healthy sales, and it's not just the big first-party titles such as Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda doing good numbers.
"Nintendo games are genuinely good, but I think third-parties are starting to catch up," said Ellis.
"Companies like Sega, with Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Boogie from EA, Cooking Mama, some of the Ubisoft titles like My Word Coach – they aren't selling as well as Brain Training but it all adds up to a healthy market.
"The volumes on the hardware are such that it's now worthwhile for publishers to make the extra effort of working with the Wii," he added.
The full interview with Ellis, where he also discusses the performance of the PlayStation 3 and other software in the run up to Christmas, can be read here.

SeikoTheWiz a coder over at our friends Playeradvance forums has now released his new game for the DS
Heres the screen:
Heres a description of what DOTA is from the Wiki:
Defense of the Ancients (often referred to as DotA) is a custom map for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for the Blizzard title Starcraft. It is a team strategy game focused on hero combat. The objective is to destroy the opponents' base using one's own Hero along with allied heroes and allied AI-controlled fighters called "creeps". Sharing concepts with role playing games, the player levels up their hero and uses gold to buy equipment in an effort to best the opposing team.
- 0.91: Record version
- 0.91b: path to plant less
- 0.92: patch of moveToAttack
- 0.93: Now you can kill the turrets and creeps attack automatically.

MorganDS has again updated his Rubiks Cube game for DS:
I made a quite a bit of progress on my Rubik's cube the last couple of days. In addition to the twelve turning functions, you can now rotate the whole cube by pressing left or right. And I've added graphics.
I also changed how the top and bottom sides are oriented on the screen so that it makes a little more sense.

With its dominance currently being felt the world over (though maybe not perhaps quite as strongly as it once was in Japan) Nintendo’s powerhouse console the Wii is celebrating another record success – this time in Australia.
The machine has just become the fastest console to reach the 200,000 sales mark, doing so after 50 weeks on sale.
This feat beats both the PS2 and DS, which both took 55 weeks to reach the same milestone, Gamespot reports.
In contrast, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 took 68 weeks to hit the same milestone. Sony’s PS3, which launched in the territory in March, recently passed the 100,000 barrier

Nintendo's Virtual Console is abubble and apunch with new releases once again this Friday as Bubble Bobble and The King of Fighters '94 arrive for download unassisted by additional made-up adjectives.
Bubble Bobble is the NES version of Taito's fondly remembered platform game, and therefore costs 500 Wii Points (approx GBP 3.50 / EUR 5), and sees players popping and pushing bubbles in the dinosauric roles of Bub and Bob, complete with two-player mode and - even more of a blast from the past - a password system for saving your progress! No expense spent! Gawp in amazement at the Bubble Bobble Virtual Console screenshot gallery for additional excitement.
Meanwhile, The King of Fighters '94 is a NeoGeo game and therefore comes with a bizarrely huge 900 Wii-Point price-tag (that's approximately GBP 6.30 / EUR 9), and allows you to beat one another up using characters from various of SNK's other fighting series including Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury and Ikari Warriors. We've got a King of Fighters '94 screenshot gallery too, you know.
Watch out for official verdicts from official Virtual Console Roundup man Dan Whitehead tomorrow.

They said it wasn't possible (and it still might not be) but the Unreal Engine 3 is currently in the process of being squeezed onto the Wii's dinky hardware, Epic VP Mark Rein has revealed.
Speaking at the Unreal Tournament III launch event in Birmingham, Rein revealed that, while Epic isn't going to take up the task itself, one of its many engine licensees is currently trying to port the ultra-popular engine onto the Wii.
"I know one of our licensees who's giving it a shot," Rein told Kikizo. "It's their own port, in the same way Ubisoft brought Unreal Engine 2 to the Wii."
You may remember Rein stating earlier this year that Epic has no plans to port UE3 to Wii, because "It's really designed for next-gen, high-definition." Well at least the company hasn't gone back on its word, because it still has no plans to port the engine to Wii internally.
"There's so many things we can do and are already doing, to improve our engine, on the platforms we're aiming it at, that going back and working on that [for Wii] just doesn't make sense," he said.
Would UE3 on Wii actually give us any benefits? We'd be more interested in Nintendo farming out the Galaxy tech...

Some new wallpapers have turned up on the Japanese Mario Galaxy site. What, you don't care about something as trivial as that? You're right, we're sorry. Nintendo news is, after all, serious business. You probably think this picture is awful, hate both Mario and kittens and most definitely won't be clicking on it for a bigger version.

News/release from Foxy:
Having done Goldrunner which had not convinced all critics of the time because of its vertical scroll, Steve Bak developed this title in 9 months with Pete Lyon, which was a pearl technique en matiere de horizontal scrolling on the Atari ST.
History:
23.11.2007:
Premiere release "proof of concept".
Adding animation of the ship.
How to play:
For the moment, right and left, and scroll to start to change the map.
Other information:
In the beginning I had in mind to bring Goldrunner II, but it is only a pale copy of the original title. For many Return to Genesis is true.
In this port, no big challenge because the GBA in terms of scrolling and management layers is much more powerful than the Atari, but it allowed me to refine my tools rip graphics on atari and my routines and sprites tiles
On the Atari version (and maybe Amiga), the game is unplayable because a little too fast, I hope that I could improve a little ca on the GBA version.

New from Play asia:
You'd think years of defeat would get to a guy, but Bowser just doesn't give up! He's captured Mario and his friends in his pursuit of a crystal that the group collected when it fell from the sky, and he doesn't hesitate to shrink them to miniature size to get rid of them and get his hands on the other four crystals.
The mini-heroes have to find the crystals before he does, making their way through giant environments filled with enormous creatures. The single-player campaign takes place in five different settings, each of them ending with a boss. As usual, players have to collect coins and stars, at the same time escaping dangers such as Piranha Plants and other classic creatures from the Mario universe.
As they progress through the game, players also can unlock various mini-games, such as Rail Riders, Sweet Sleuth and Goomba Wrangler! When players are tired of exploring the story mode, they can choose one of the other modes, like Puzzle and Minigame. Play with up to four friends on the DS' local Wi-Fi and let the party begin!

Jayenkai has released Platdude's Retro Collection, heres the details:
The Brief
A collection of retro styled games, kicked up a notch.
Gameplay>Graphics
The Notice
DLDI Patch the _dldi.nds version to keep your highscores. There are no other differences between the two versions.
The Credits
The Games were coded by Jayenkai.
The Graphics were drawn by Jayenkai.
The Sound Effects were created by Jayenkai.
Some Music was also made by Jayenkai, but then he took it out because it got annoying.
The Email
Contact Jayenkai@Gmail.com. if you have suggestions/bugs/additional game ideas. All game ideas are taken into consideration, but not all will be added!
The Games (In the order they were created)
Centipede : Shoot the centipede. Don't let it escape.
Snake : Guide the Snake. Grab the numbered blocks.
Invaders : Shoot the aliens. Don't let them get to the bottom.
Light Cycles : Try to get your opponents to crash.
Asteroids : Destroy the asteroids before they destroy you.
Racer : Don't crash! (This is a bit naff, right now!)
The Copyrights
The games contained within this pack are mostly owned by different companies.
The ideas are basic gaming concepts, so I'm hoping they don't mind too much.
These are collected for the purpose of being fun to play, not to rip off the originating companies.
If I was trying to rip you off, the graphics would at least be half decent!

marovada has updated Wee Basic with a new release, heres the details:
version 0.3
fixed:
- editor: return key swallowing a character
- editor: hopefully fixed remaining save bugs
added/changed:
- basic programs now have access to both DS screens and stylus input
- hide or show keyboard with commands 'keyhide' and 'keyshow'
- you must hide the keyboard before printing to, or using graphics on, the bottom screen
- cls, print, plot and line can now be used on both DS screens. You must specify a screen number. Syntax is now (s= screen number 0 or 1):
print s [at x,y] <string or variable>
plot s x,y,colour
line s x1,y1,x2,y2,colour
cls s
(s = screen number 0 or 1)
- stylus coordinates can be obtained using stx() and sty()
eg, let sx=stx() let sxy=sty()
- check whether bottom screen has been touched with stt()
eg, let touched=stt()
stt() returns 1 for touched and 0 for not touched
- new example showing the above features

MorganDS has again updated his Rubiks Cube game for DS:
I've created a pseudo-3D cube on the bottom screen. I also fixed a bug in the down and down inverse turning functions. Use the touchscreen icons to turn different sides of the cube, the left and right arrows to rotate the whole cube, and Start to reset the cube. In the final version, I will hopefully have a real 3D cube, as well as more rotation functions and other nice features. I will probably not release another version for download until the final version..

Circus has released what is an exceedingly interesting new homebrew app for the Nintendo DS.
This app is a clone of the Pictochat Software that comes bundled with the Nintendo DS but this homebrew variant uses Wifi to connect 2 DS consoles together using the IP Address (you need to know that bit)
So basically you have a text/chatroom that you can contact people worldwide.

simonjhall the excellent coder who has brought an amazing port of Quake to the Nintendo DS has today gave some details of his work of bringing Quake 2 to the DS, heres the details:
Ok, just an update on this (dunno why I'm doing this!)
Thought I'd get off my arse this weekend and check out the Q2 code on my PC. I've not done a lot of work on it in the last six months, besides fix the load times. They were so slow that working on it is completely unproductive, as you've gotta sit around and surf the net for three minutes until you can get it to crash again!
Anyway, here's some info for those who care
- the game now takes about a minute to load (once the program has started)
- the world is now rendered with the DS' 3D hardware; the framerate looks very playable
- I'm an inch away from getting texturing in
- no models, GUI, etc
- the proper palettes are in (hence I can now nearly texture), as are the game fonts
- I've got the RAM usage down to a pretty low level. The existing system required an MMU and (virtually) allocated memory in a crazy way. One problem I had before I sorted this out was that I could *just* squeeze a demo into 32 + 4 megs. After looking into it I realised that 70% of that memory was actually going to waste! The *demos* ought to run in ~10 meg of RAM now.
- it's 8-bit write hell, and I'm gonna have to go strb hunting to sort that out!
No promises, but there's a chance I may actually work on this properly :-)

Updated from Foxy:
Having done Goldrunner which had not convinced all critics of the time because of its vertical scroll, Steve Bak developed this title in 9 months with Pete Lyon, which was a pearl technique en matiere de horizontal scrolling on the Atari ST.
History:
25.11.2007:
Added minimap.
Addition of gunfire.
Adding objects on the minimap.
24.11.2007:
Adding collision with decors.
Adding scientists.
How to play:
For the moment, right and left, and scroll to start to change the map.
Other information:
In the beginning I had in mind to bring Goldrunner II, but it is only a pale copy of the original title. For many Return to Genesis is true.
In this port, no big challenge because the GBA in terms of scrolling and management layers is much more powerful than the Atari, but it allowed me to refine my tools rip graphics on atari and my routines and sprites tiles
On the Atari version (and maybe Amiga), the game is unplayable because a little too fast, I hope that I could improve a little ca on the GBA version.

Its laughable how unhip the mainstream is, heres a newspost from gibiz
R4 chip for DS goes on sale in Akihabara and internet for around GBP 25
Nintendo faces a new threat from piracy this Christmas, as the R4 chip for the DS handheld becomes one the most sought after items in Tokyo's Akihabara electronics district.
Described by The Times Online as Nintendo's "Christmas stocking filler from Hell," the R4 costs around GBP 25 and bypasses the DS security system allowing users to play illegally cracked games and other material.
Reacting to the sale of the R4, a Nintendo spokesperson said: "We are keeping a close eye on the products and studying them. But we cannot smash them all."
According to The Times, many retailers are cryptically advertising the chip with signs reading, "New R4 shipment has finally arrived! You know what it does! Absolutely no questions will be answered concerning this product."
Sale of the chip – believed to be manufactured in China – is not strictly illegal, but what the users does with it is.
A quick internet search by GamesIndustry.biz reveals multiple websites openly selling the chip for around GBP 25.
Im sure the R4 has been around for at least 6months already :P

You may have hoped that with the ho-hum new release week, we'd find some respite in the new Virtual Console releases. ... Well, no dice. Let's take a look, shall we?
Double Dribble (NES, 1-2 players, rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Is a police officer banging on your door like he's trying to serve a warrant? No! That's just the sound of the ball bouncing in Double Dribble, silly. For 500 points you can play a game that manages to be both a basketball simulation and a mental endurance test. Yippee!
Vegas Stakes (Super NES, 1-4 players, 800 Wii Points): Dear videogame industry: The next time you're going to work on a game that would would require people pay $8 to play SNES blackjack, don't. Why not go volunteer your time at a homeless shelter? Side note: If your grandma is one of the Wii's legion of old fans, you may want to let her know about this casino sim. Maybe it'll keep her out of the bingo halls.
Ecco Jr. (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): If your kid has never been able to master simultaneously pushing a button to make a dolphin swim and being totally bored, you can probably go ahead and blow those college savings on a Lamborghini. But at least now there's a game on Virtual Console made especially for them.

News/release from Wizlon:
Another week, another version. There are actually a few more bits and bobs I wanted to fit into this version, nameley background and font loading off SD, but I got a flash of brilliance yesterday and decided to add and entirely new feature. I figured it would take me a week or so to get it working how I wanted it to, so I better release a new version now.
So what have we got then? I’ve fixed a bug or two, making sure right handed now default. I’ve vastly improved the file navigation with the inclusion of a handy dandy selected file bar, this also works in the options menu so you can see what your current settigns are. I’ve also improved the edit screen a bit so you can now scroll up and down the document, it’s still not prefect, but until saving is working it doesn’t really need to be. The big new improvment is the MOD player I’ve thrown in, this is kind of a precursor to the MP3 player which will turn up one day, I added it so people can jam along to MOD drum loops, of which there doesn’t seem to be many :_( if you find any then give me a shout. Anyway, look out for big things next version. Laters.

Update from quirky:
I got side tracked with grit, adding the ability to share a palette between various images. Now that this problem is solved (Cearn sent me an interesting program to merge image palettes after I sent him a patch against grit to do something similar) Elite AGB compiles for the DS. All that's left is to get it working! :-)
At the minute the NDS file just shows 2 white screens; a familiar situation for anyone who has coded anything on the DS. So now to start debugging...

It seems that Nyko is planning to release their own light gun shell attachment called "Perfect Shot". Release date is November 25th, but Amazon wont ship for another 4-6 weeks. Item sells for $14.99 but Amazon is selling it for $12.99.
Although its white and has a orange tip, there will probably be complaints from parents as the gun looks similar to a real gun if someone was to paint it all black.
Features- Traditional one handed pistol-like grip. Tactile trigger activates the "B" button
- Aiming sight increases accuracy
- Wii Remote easily slides into grip and locks into place
- Accessory pass-through port for other attachments like the Nunchuk and Classic Controller
- One hand remains free to operate the Nunchuk or other attachments simultaneously

Tri-Crescendo, developers of Eternal Sonata for the Xbox 360 and PS3, are currently working on a new RPG for the Nintendo Wii. Entitled Fragile, the RPG follows the story of Set, a young boy who must explore various cities in a post-apocalyptic world.
Details at this time are scarce because, well, we can't read Japanese. Those with a bit more skill in the language department might want to check out the game's official website, which also features screenshots and a teaser trailer for the game.

Nintendo says there is "absolutely no truth" behind reports that it could be feeding media with stories to accentuate hype about the demand for its sold-out Wii console.
Speculation arose when a report regarding families paying over the odds for the highly sought-after console appeared in identical form in two totally different UK newspapers.
This was picked up by -BEEP-, who suggested Nintendo could have "fed" both publications the report to boost Wii demand hype.
Nintendo told us: "There is absolutely no truth whatsoever in what they have written, it is totally unsubstantiated and merely rumour they are reporting as fact."
A seemingly peeved Nintendo went on to state: "We are certainly NOT distributing any press release to feed media with demand stories - we never have."
There are various news pool sources from which newspapers can take stories for publication. This story could have come from one of those, which would explain the identical wording.

Another Monday, and another set of three VC titles to add to the list of Wii Shop Channel retro gaming. This week's list includes a few classics - depending on who you ask - that are sure to hit gaming's niche crowd. For NES-lovers, Double Dribble brings what many Nintendo fans considered the first true basketball offering on a home console, while Vegas Stakes was the first step down a slippery slope, letting Super NES owners take a plunge into the world of high stakes gambling. Round that package off with Ecco Jr. for the SEGA Genesis, and you've got a list that, depending on your love for nostalgia, may or may not have you dropping cash this week.
Per usual we've included Nintendo's latest official information on each game, as included in its original press release:
DOUBLE DRIBBLE (NES, 1-2 players, rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): DOUBLE DRIBBLE, the first 5-on-5, full-court home basketball game, is pure hoops action at its finest. While still a surprisingly accurate basketball game for its time, the frantic action keeps you on your toes as your players run from one end of the court to the other. Choose from a handful of teams and multiple levels of difficulty as you take on the computer alone or challenge a friend and see who has the better skills. Take the ball and sink shots from locations all over the court, or get in your opponent's face and do your best to block the shot. Better yet, drive the lane and rock the rim to see one of the game's trademark slam-dunk cut scenes. He shoots, he scores!
Vegas Stakes (Super NES¿, 1-4 players, rated E for Everyone - Simulated Gambling, 800 Wii Points): Feel like taking a road trip to Las Vegas? Let your inner high roller go wild as you try your luck at five different games-blackjack, slots, poker, craps and roulette. Start with only $1,000 in your pocket and play your way through five casinos, each with a different theme and varying limits. But no one wants to gamble alone, right? Not a problem, as you'll be able to choose one of four friends to tag along and offer advice when you need it. Further enhancing the experience is the fact that you'll be presented with a slew of interactions with random casino patrons. Best be careful, though-your choices in these situations could either get you closer to the millions of dollars you're after or cost you a pile of that hard-earned cash. Roll the dice, spin the wheel, hit or stand-do whatever it takes to stake your claim in Vegas and beat the house!
Ecco Jr. (Sega Genesis, 1 player, rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): The aquatic adventures of Ecco come to life for a younger generation of gamers. Perfect for kids, Ecco Jr. finds our young hero heading out to sea with a variety of tasks he must perform in order to get there. Along with his friends Tara the baby orca and Kitnee the young Atlantic dolphin, Ecco Jr. will interact with sea lions, sea horses and other aquatic life as he makes his journey to the Big Blue. Introduce your kids to the classic series of Ecco the Dolphin titles by downloading Ecco Jr. today.
We'll have more on these new titles, including media and final reviews, as the week continues.

Nintendo has launched a new Wii channel in Japan that allows people to download demos of DS games.
As promised last month, the new channel also has other content like Wii trailers and a feedback form so you can send Nintendo love-notes.
Except, for now at least, the channel is only up and running in Japan, with Nintendo UK pointing out to us today that it has "not announced plans for a European roll-out at this time".
All of which means you'll just have to gawp at screenshots on the official website until someone does.
Editupdate: Or you could watch the video Wired dug up, right here. They are so handsome.

We're not exactly sure why folks aren't as inclined to create confections, earrings and door unlockers with those other controllers, but something about the Wiimote just brings out the craftsman in DIY'ers at large. This go 'round, Craig has constructed a functioning cabinet that closely resembles Nintendo's heralded controller. Unfortunately, we have all ideas that it won't actually enable you to participate in any Mario Party 8 mini-games, but considering that there's no wrist strap tacked on the bottom, we wouldn't recommend whirling this about, anyway.

There's no supply conspiracy, says NoA boss
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has admitted that the shortage of Wii units are retail is a missed opportunity for the company.
And he dismissed the conspiracy theory that Nintendo is holding back stock to drive demand, saying such a move would be counterintuitive to the audience it is trying to sell to.
"At this point we are literally trying to catch up with demand," said Fils-Aime, in an interview with news.com.
"There is no secret plan to store Wiis in a warehouse to spur demand. The company, after all, is trying to reach out to women and 40 and 50-year olds who aren't avid gamers."
"They aren't going to sleep outside of a store overnight or visit a retailer five or six times. It is literally a missed opportunity," he said.
Although the Wii is being snatched up just as fast as Nintendo can supply units to retail – with HMV last week telling GamesIndustry.biz that the console is selling out within minutes – it hasn't stopped the company from clocking up massive sales numbers.
During the Thanksgiving period last week, Nintendo sold over 350,000 Wiis in the US.

Nintendo and telecoms operator NTT announced that they would cooperate to promote the broadband Internet access of the Wii in Japan.
According to a Reuter's report, Nintendo and NTT's two regional units, NTT East and NTT West, will start operating call centers jointly this week to provide consultation and support for the Wii's Internet connection.
They will also offer a start-up package which provides equipment for Web access, on-site set up, and other services for Wii users.
"I hope our fibre-optic service becomes as popular as the Wii," NTT East senior executive vice president Tetsuo Koga told a news conference on Wednesday.
"I think we have won a powerful ally to hit our target to boost fiber-optic subscribers to 20 million by the year ending March 2011."
Nintendo plans to launch WiiWare in Japan next March, allowing users to purchase new titles via the Internet. The company has sold 13.2 million Wii consoles worldwide as of the end of September.
NTT's two regional units had 6.1 million fibre-optic subscribers as of March 2007.

Nintendo of America has set a new sales record by selling more products during the Thanksgiving week than at any other time in the company's history.
During the period November 18 to November 24, over 653,000 DS units were sold, smashing the previous record of 600,000 Game Boy Advance consoles sold in 2005.
A further 350,000 Wii home systems were also snapped up by Christmas shoppers, along with "millions of games and accessories".
"As shoppers look for ways to maximize their limited holiday spending money, they turn to gifts that can be used by the entire family," commented George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications.
"Wii and Nintendo DS offer something for every member of the family. They're the most fun video game experiences at the most affordable price."

The second feature included is a new hand seal mechanism, which can be used by the player to raise their character's attack power or health.

Jeff has released a new version of his Rogue clone for the Nintendo DS and GBA, heres whats new:
*Another quick release as I try to keep the momentum going to the elusive version 100.
When you are prompted to cast a spell you cam hit [SELECT] or [i] or [?] to get help on that spell. (Arthur Littlefield)
Eating a book temporarily grants you the spells/skills in the book. (Fancy Carrot)
Gold Beetles are now hostile if you are wearing anything they want.
If timed unchanging expires the same turn as stoning takes effect, there is no longer the risk that the unchanging will expire first and thus turn you to stone. (Yes, this happened to me.)
All creatures will now eat if they are not full, not just special ones like gelatinous cubes.
Hungry creatures will pick up food that they can eat.
RNG seed saved to hiscore table so starting games on the GBA should become more varied.
Torches and flamingswords are extinguished by dropping into water.
More consistent behaviour of lava/greekfire/acid/water with item interaction.
New spells: Wizard's Eye, Possess.
Artifact armour that has a melee attack will now allow you to attack appropriately on occasion. Ie, a head butt, punch, or kick with the helmet, ring, or boots. Improvised Weapons skill will greatly increase the chance of this happening.
One more room.
Leech the right version:
Gameboy Advance [382k].
Nintendo DS [735k].

According to this week's Famitsu, Sega has announced plans to release Culdcept for Nintendo DS. The game is currently being developed by Omiya Soft, who handled the previous versions of Culdcept.
New cards will be introduced in the DS version, alongside revised ones from the past. Battles and trading with other players is possible through both the wireless and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection features. "There are over 370 card types including new ones. Some of the new cards will also be quite powerful ones," said Omiya Soft producer Hideo Suzuki to Famitsu.
Additionally, Culdcept veteran Satoshi Nakai, who has designed the cards since the first game, will again handle card illustration.
Fans of previous Culdcept games should be happy, as Omiya Soft is using those versions as a base line for the DS title. "Culdcept DS will be based on the PlayStation 2 version 'Culdcept 2: Expansion,' with adjustments made on the overall game balance and revision on the card's abilities," said Suzuki. "Also, the basic rules are easier to understand even for beginners since we have added what was implemented in the Dreamcast version 'Culdcept Second.'"
Culdcept DS is slated for a 2008 release in Japan.

According to Nintendo, 7.8 million items have been downloaded over the service, which offers old games from Nintendo and other publisher's back catalogues, priced between EUR 5 and EUR 10.

Wiis are hard to come by. We know. Every stop to consider just why, though? Why Nintendo didn't see this coming and just, you know...make more Wiis? Course you have. Nintendo's George Harrison has the answer:
Typically, we'd have begun stockpiling console hardware back in August. But this year, we were selling all the Wii we could get, and we got all the way through the summer with basically no inventory in our warehouse.
In other words, when they pitched the console to the mass market, they didn't foresee that the mass market doesn't buy consoles in the traditional "everything at Christmas" model the industry's used to. Those types will buy it 24/7, 365. Chalk that one up to a lesson learned, Nintendo.

Charles Martinet, the man who provides the chirpy vocals for Mario, is working on an autobiography about his time voicing the most iconic videogame character ever.
Martinet's writings, which he aims to have ready for release next year, will paint a picture of Nintendo from the inside as he reveals what it's like to work with the games giant, and provide the voice for such a huge icon of videogames.
"I've actually started working a little bit on a book, but it's about finding the discipline to keep going.", he told CVG. "But I will be inspired by fans," such as one, explained Martinet, who said to him at the recent Mario Galaxy launch event in London: "You're the voice of my childhood."
"That's the sort of thing that makes you think 'yes, I want to write a book so that I can acknowledge that'," Martinet told CVG. He also added his thoughts on the whole violence in videoganmes debate, saying: "Violence in videogames, if you can call it violence - you have to take it into perspective. I don't think that people go out and steal cars because they play a car stealing game, any more than I think that someone is going to shoot somebody because they play a shooting game. You don't do that because that a game."
He adds: "It's up to parents and family members to know what their children are doing and how much time they spend doing it and the impact those things have on them. People playing Mario games don't make them like pasta any more."

Nintendo has told Eurogamer that Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village will be out in the US on 18th February.
However, plans are yet to be made for Europe, but you could always import a copy what with it being a region-free DS title.
Developed by Level 5, of Dragon Quest VIII fame, Mysterious Village is the first in a trilogy of adventure titles based around brain-teasing puzzles by some University boffin and linked together with an overarching storyline.
You may never have heard of it, but Professor Layton has been been so wildly popular in Japan it has shipped around half a million copies since February and prompted two follow-on games.
Regional magazine Famitsu unearthed the third instalment recently as Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel, due to be released some unspecified time in the future. Meanwhile second game Professor Layton and the Devil's Box goes on sale this week in Japan.
Pop over to the Japanese website for an idea of what to expect.

Hi there, it's James from www.rgcd.co.uk here again.
Not only have we slashed our GBA homebrew cart costs, but we've recently teamed up with Paradise Games to bring you a seasonal GBA special; our Christmas Double Pack!
 
For the last couple of years, Ian and the rest of the Paradise team have entered the Christmas game development competition hosted by www.drunkencoders.com, winning the competition in 2005, and receiving an honourable position in 2006. After playing their games extensively I had a brainwave; perhaps Paradise Games would be interested in working with RGCD to create some sort of Christmas-themed compilation for our readers? A few emails later and the Paradise/RGCD Christmas Double Pack GBA cart was born.
So what do you get for the bargain £5.50 price tag? Limited to 50 copies, the double-pack (which is a deliberately erroneous title as the cart actually includes a third hidden game..!) contains both Santa's Chimney Challenge and Santa's Skidoo Scarper; arguably the best Christmas themed releases to grace the GBA platform. Visit the RGCD Shop to buy your copy today!
Read full game review at http://www.rgcd.co.uk/shop/reviews/paradise-double/
The cart pricing is as follows:
UK Customers (Including 1st Class P&P) - £5.50
UK Customers (Including 1st Class Recorded P&P) - £6.25
Worldwide Customers (Including Worldwide P&P) - £6.75
Please note that these carts are sold strictly on a non-commercial, non-profit basis. Any and all revenue from cartridge sales will directly offset the cost of production and shipping. Faulty carts and other returns will be refunded in full.

Remember AM3 and its attempt at bringing downloadable anime to the Game Boy Advance? They're back with their latest product, and this time it's for the world-beating DS.
The company unveiled today DSvision, a download service that promises to bring comics, books, magazines, anime, movies, and television programs to the Japanese DS. The service downloads content to special microSD flash cards, which are then plugged into the DS via a special adapter cartridge.
Fully licensed by Nintendo, the service will begin in full force over in Japan in March 2008. In coopration with its majority share-holder Dai Nippon Printing, a major Japanese printing company, am3 will open up an online shop for downloading content. The firms will also be working with NTT for the distribution of movies and other high memory content.
Specific titles were not announced today, but am3 does have high hopes for the service. The firm expects to capture 10% of the DS's current 20 million userbase. When the service starts, it expects to have 300 titles available for download, expanding to 10,000 by 2010. am3 hopes to reach 20,000,000 downloads per year by 2010, with total sales of one billion yen over the next three years.
Pricing for content was also not announced today, but the firm expects the priciest content to go for 1,000 yen, or close to $10 US.
In January, am3 will hold a test of the service. Interested parties will be able to purchase a 3,980 yen set consisting of the microSD adapter cartridge, a 512 megabyte special microSD card designed for exclusive use with the DS Vision service, and a USB reader. In the future, the firm is considering offering the adapter for free in order to minimize barriers to the service.
This service is only for Japan at the moment. However, with Nintendo's full backing, if the service takes off, we wouldn't be surprised to see it expand to other territories.
With the success of the flash carts such as R4DS, M3 Simply, CycloDS Evolution, G6 Flash, EZ-Flash and many others, Nintendo decided to take a stab at it..kinda, by licensing a similar/look-a-like product. But its main intended purpose is for it to be a download service that promises to bring comics, books, magazines, anime, movies, and television programs to the Japanese DS.

A few if you may have seen this mod a few years back - it did get some decent press on the tubes and was featured in an issue of EGM. There’s really not a whole lot to say about this one, so I’ll let the pic speak for itself.
Check the auction for more pics, as well as a video of the system in action. Currently cheap too, at just over $40.00 with a full nine days to go.

No, it's not Final Fantasy, and it's not Dragon Quest. Instead, everyone's favorite RPG maker has chosen the late SNES title Treasure Hunter G as the first entry in its genre of choice.
Here's the full list of December titles for the Japanese service.
[SET FOR DECEMBER RELEASE] - Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku (Arc System Works, Famicom, 500 points)
- Pokemon Snap (Nintendo, N64, 1,000)

- Gate of Thunder (Hudson, PC Engine, 600)
[SET FOR DECEMBER RELEASE]- Super Mario Bros. 3 (Nintendo, Famicom, 500)
- Metal Slader Glory (Hal Research, Famicom, 600)
- LunarBall (Pony Canyon, Famicom, 500)
- Super Street Fighter II (Capcom, Super Famicom, 800)

Wondering what Grasshopper Manufacturer was doing before Killer 7? DS owners in Japan will get to find out real soon as Marvelous Interactive brings producer Suda 51's Flower, Sun, and Rain: Unending Paradise to the DS.
Titled, in Japan, Hana to Taiyou to Ame to: Owaranai Rakuen, this mystery adventure game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 on 2001. HAND is "handling" the conversion to the portable format, with supervision by Grasshopper Manufacturer, of course.
You play as Mondo Sumio, who comes to the resort island of Lospas at the request of the owner of the Flower, Sun, and Rain, a hotel on the island. The owner tells you that the island, which is apparently stuck in a time loop, is being targeted by terrorists. With aid of Catharine, a computer you carry with you in your briefcase, your job is to stop the explosive device that threatens to destroy the island.
Flower, Sun, and Rain, is a full adventure game with 3D exploration indoors and out. Using the hotel as your base of operations, you head out onto the island to question the residents. On top of the adventure gameplay from the PS2 original, the DS version adds 50 new puzzles, as well as stylus controls for when you jack into Catherine.
The Japanese release of No More Heroes is just a couple of weeks away, so for gamers in Japan, that will be their next exposure to the workings of Suda 51. Following that, importers should look for Flower, Sun, and Rain in Spring 2008.

Own a Wii? Satisfied, are you? Or do you sometimes go round your PS2 friend's house and stare at his plastic quiz show controllers and wish you weren't saddled with stupid motion sensors and bobble heads of your dad and little blue glowing lights that never seem to shut up even when you do check your messages?
Then good news! Because the game Ellie regarded as something "cheap and simple to entertain the family, but it'll be gathering dust by New Year" is finally coming to Wii! Yes, Cheggers' Party Quiz has been dated, and will be released on 7th December! As published Oxygen Games put it, "Wii-Hey!"
Alternatively, are you a fan of dour Scotsmen with a thistly regard for porous Premier League defences and an inability to answer nice ladies' questions sensibly? Then good news for you too! Because Alan Hansen's Sports Challenge is coming to Wii on the same day.
Terrific. Christmas is saved.

New from DS Dev Moose at Play:
We have published the November 30, 2007 release of Laser Hockey DS.
The ball can now move between screens. There are actually two balls, one for each graphics engine. However, I am only checking the main ball (lower screen) for my crappy collision detection. The sprites in each screen will wrap and I am using this feature to draw the ball on the top screen when the position goes negative. The same goes for the top paddle so that I didn't have to rewrite my crappy physics methods at all. I force my paddle to be in negative world (yes, that was a Mario reference) so that my negative world ball will collide with it.
The ball can travel through the goal. I am keeping a score up to 9 but you can't see it yet.

Players intimidated by the chaotic, hazard-heavy stages of Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be delighted to hear that several classic stages will be returning from Smash Bros. Melee. Pictured above, the Temple stage is the only one officially announced, though director Masahiro Sakurai promises "a number" of stages from the Gamecube title (a few of the original N64 states couldn't hurt either, but there's no word on whether or not that's even a possibility).
In other news, next Monday is December 3, otherwise known as the former release date of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. As this date has been slowly approaching, we here at Joystiq have noticed that the daily Brawl updates have lacked any startling new information. The last character announced was back in October, meaning that Brawl's blog is definitely overdue for some earth-shattering information. Perhaps Nintendo is holding off to make an announcement on the day we all expected to get our Brawl on? Maybe, maybe not. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Next Tuesday, Japanese Wii owners will be able to download the underrated N64 title Pokémon Snap on the Wii's Virtual Console. Unique to this release, however, will be newly added Wii functionality, setting an interesting precedent for future VC releases.
Dengeki Online reports that photographs taken in-game can be posted to the Wii Message Board, and sent along to friends using the Wii's internet connection. While this isn't a terribly interesting use of the Wii functionality, it does show that Nintendo is willing to add new features to Virtual Console titles. No word yet on when Pokémon Snap will be making its debut in other regions, but could other upcoming VC titles be receiving similar treatment?
