The big Tales series press conference from earlier in the week brought about a bunch of screens and details on the three new Tales games in development, Tales of Graces for Wii, Tales of Vesperia for PS3, and Tales of VS for PSP. Today, we have even more details thanks to Famitsu.

First up, VS. Joining the previously announced cast of four, the magazine confirms four more characters: Stan and Mighty from Tales of Destiny, Kratos from Tales of Symphonia, and Anise from Tales of the Abyss. There are 35 characters in all, so expect to hear roster updates regularly.

The magazine also offers up a couple of mysterious screenshots of the game. These appear to depict fully 2D combat. The game's producer, Ryuji Odate, told the magazine that the screens are from a mode of play that's separate from the main fighting mode, but wouldn't get into specifics.

Next up, Tales of Vesperia. The big news here comes from a short interview with producer Yoshito Higuchi. Work on the PS3 version began after the release of the Xbox 360 version, said Higuchi. He also revealed one additional difference for the game: the event scenes will see different camera angles.

Finally, the Wii "mothership" entry in the series, Tales of Graces. Producer and Tales series brand manager Hideo Baba told the magazine that there are some major differences in the battle system. Previous titles could have their attacks categorized as one of standard attacks or skills. The relationship between the two will change greatly with Graces. Sadly, he wouldn't get too specific, saying only that it's possible to perform attacks that resemble skills using the button for standard attacks.

Baba also suggested that players look closely at the game's illustrations and logo for hints about the story. Feel free to do just that in our media pages as you wait for the next Tales update.

Everyone raise your hand if you don’t like rumors.
Oh, well, we have more than one or two hands raised, what a surprise. Who hasn’t heared every single 88v3/3k rumors, PS3 OMFG-30GB-ISOZ rumors, or even that new PSP hardware revisions that never come; rumors that make you punch directly to the table and close the firefox tab?
So, there is another one, another PSP2 rumor that has come around the Pocket Gamer sources, with interesting stuff like a sliding touchscreen (what remembers me of the 0×89 project, what a pity it didn’t succeed), dual analog controls, and with a release date of before this Christmas.
Damn, not yet finished with 3k models and now a 4k model that might be a true competitor to even the iPhone? Well, i don’t believe in rumors as one of my principles, but anyway. If something is released, Sony will give it enough publicity and we’ll see it anywhere.
That reminds me of that PSP-Phone. Oh, and the 3000 model with built-in camera. Oh, and that tons of PS3 darkness-hacking-videos on Youtube. Oh, and … Well, everything that you can remember.
I just hope that if there is any revision, it’s at least as wide as the DS one. ...

As some many webpages have said, the new Nintendo DSi (what stands for that “i”, intelligent, inmature? lol) has finally be released in Europe (why are we the latest in getting some things?) with huge and great updates on their hardware, stuff that was needed and that some users wanted.
I am talking about the redimensions, the cameras, the music player, and of course the bigger screens, (without having in mind the software update) a cool improvement for just 20eur more than the Lite version. Well, it is not a bad deal. (Considering that they are already flashcards that work for it such as the Acekard 2i)
Even though, they have also deleted some stuff that people will miss; such as the GBA slot, but that effect is reduced having in mind the DSi Shop, the DSi Ware (with that points to spend) and other features.
According to Chart-Track suscription emails, on his debut, DSi has gone far away from every single other console on the UK, and most probably on most of the other European countries.
On the Sony side, they have started attacking it without any consideration, saying that “Significant gamer demographic groups are being ignored, and there continues to be limited opportunities for games from external publishers to do well on the DSi.” and promising new game titles for PSP and so on.
Well, it’s cool to see new games, but is this what PlayStation needs to do to compete against Nintendo? Without reaching the fact of the piracy-available, maybe that PSP Hardware revision (with cool things now, please.) might be interesting, considering how’s going the market at the moment. ...

Bill Blake has updated Mame for PS3 Linux:

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with an arcade game's data files (ROMs), MAME will more or less faithfully reproduce that game on a PC. The ROM images that MAME utilizes are "dumped" from arcade games' original circuit-board ROM chips. MAME becomes the "hardware" for the games, taking the place of their original CPUs and support chips. Therefore, these games are NOT simulations, but the actual, original games that appeared in arcades. MAME's purpose is to preserve these decades of video-game history. As gaming technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents these important "vintage" games from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions, thanks to the talent of programmers from the MAME team and from other contributors. Being able to play the games is just a nice side-effect, which doesn't happen all the time. MAME strives for emulating the games faithfully. NOTE: This version includes an unsupported patch that adds the ability to display games at their original (-nativeres) resolution in fullscreen mode. Users of this version are not eligible for support on the official forum. Get support for this version here: http://forums.ps3bodega.com
