Suda 51 has told CVG that the inclusion of online play in Wii game No More Heroes is still up in the air, though he is very interested in it.
Koichi 'Suda 51' Suda is one of Japan's more interesting game developers and his upcoming Wii title No More Heroes, is shaping up well. CVG recently caught up with the developer in Japan for a quick interview that you'll see later this week.
When asked about the chances of online play appearing in No More Heroes, Suda replied, "This is still up in air. Personally, I am very interested in online play."
Should online play fail to make the final cut, there's every chance that Suda will go on to concentrate on an online game for his next project: "I want to undertake an online game once the No More Heroes project is completed," he said.

NCSoft Europe is collaborating with the City College Brighton along with PartnerTrans and Skillset on the Apprenticeship in Quality Assurance and Games Production.
The Apprenticeship initiative has been set up to develop more practical skills for the games industry, and focuses on games testing and improving the general gaming experience for the player.
"Skillset's Apprenticeship in QA and Games Production is a key part of the Computer Games Industry's skills strategy. It offers a structured entry point outside of the games industry's traditional academic routes. The apprenticeship is led and delivered by the games industry, with the trainee spending the majority of the time with a company being mentored by an experienced practitioner", Chris Chilton, Computer Games & Animation Manager at Skillset has explained.
"NCsoft support has been vital in Skillset's development and piloting of the scheme and in offering trainees the opportunity to work in this exciting sector whilst earning a recognised qualification."
NCSoft Europe has said it hopes that other companies will set up similar schemes after the Apprenticeship is assessed this year "and, in turn, help form a more systematic entry route into the games industry." ...by Published on April 12th, 2007 16:03

A few weeks ago i recieved the new MK5 Giga Cart 8G version from Neoflash to review, my apologies but im very late with it, with all the news i post and judging comps and running websites it leaves little time to get moving on reviews.
Now ive said this before but its always best to state it again, i am no tech head when it comes to Flash Carts, im not a developer im just a normal fan who wants to know that the flash cart works, saves work, i can play Homebrew and Emulators, i can play my own backups of games i own and that the process is easy to do and understand.
First off heres a look at the flash cart
The GBA size cart is your linker and sits in the slot 2 GBA port, you will need to have a Mini USB Lead, you do not get one of them in the pack so if you havent already got one, then youll need one. the other cart is your Flash Cartridge which stores your files, think of it as an hard drive for your Nintendo DS.
Ok heres the specs as printed on the official site/shop:
* Support clean rom,not need any patch,just need drag and drop
* Huge memory space,from 8Gbit upto 64Gbit
* USB 2.0 high-speed data transfer
* USB disk function, compatible with any operation system
* Build in the last moonshell V1.5 and upgradable
* Support homebrew
* Build in SMS multi save function,and auto save
* Menu upgradable,just need drag and drop the new core to MK5
* Multi rom support,media play support
* MK5 turbo engin, 100% full game running speed ,without any delay
* Build in passme function,can boot almost GBA flash cart perfectly
Getting the ball rolling
Before i start this works on all revisions of DS/DS Lite to stop those questions later. First off i put the Slot 1 Flash Cart into the DS and turned it on. The flashcart displayed a screen like this:
Now thankfully there was already several homebrew roms on there DS Organise being the main one that will interest you, think of it as a personal organiser for the DS and thats a fair description of it. Theres also a few games too a great little Tetris type game.
The screen that greets you is full of 3d icons of each game/app on your DS Flash Cart. Personally i dont think the 3D icons work great but its probably just my taste.
Roms for Homebrew and Back Ups of your own Commercial games are in .nds format so no horrid file conversion that plagues some cards, i remember the messing about with my first supercard, it was damn annoying having to convert files.
Sticking extra files on the cart was very easy, with both carts in the DS, firstly turn on and youll notice some text with USB mentioned. Then close the lid into standby mode and insert the USB Mini Cable into the GBA/Slot 2 cart and the other end into a USB port on your PC. If you have a USB 2.0 port then thats all the better.
When the cable was inserted right away it flashed up with another drive in windows, no messing around whatsoever. I grabbed a few roms both Homebrew and Commercial (Copies of my own games) and they transferred over to the DS very fast. The only downer with the cart is that GBA Games/Homebrew is not playable on this flash cart. (you will need a seperate GBA Flash Cart).
Anyway once the files are on your cart, disconnect from the PC and turn off your DS and take out the Slot2/linker. Now reboot with just the flash cart (ie the normal DS looking cart).
You will then see a screen with 3d icons on the bottom, a neat touch is that you can scroll trhough your files with your stylus, starting the games/apps is as easy as tapping the icon of choice. Before i forget one tep on each icon brings up information on the top screen of size and save info etc.
Roms loaded very fast and because its a clean boot ie no converting compatability should be extremely high.
Conclusion
An extremely easy to use Flash Cart that will please Homebrew Users new and old. No converting means simple downloading of NDS files and transfer to flash cart. You dont get instructions but to be fair its quite simple to use for beginners, trust me if i can use it then you can
. The memory of the cart isnt upgradeable but to be fair theirs plenty of storage for most users so not really a problem. Another great thing is that compatability is excellent for both homebrew and your backups. You do lose GBA compatability but every slot 1 cart does.
Finally the price is a treat at US$49.00 from IC2005
For the price one of if not the best flash cart for DS at this time. Well done Neoflash. ...by Published on April 12th, 2007 16:03

New from J@ricanese:
This is a game that is very simple yet fun. Sort of like Simon says. A round color thing, called a Simon has four colors on it. To play, the Simon will light up its colors in a random order. The user (you) then must input back the same colors in the same order. There are seven rounds with the first round having four colors and each round after one more than the last. Beat round seven and you beat Simon.
Instructions: To play click start at the start screen. Then press start when you are ready. WATCH SIMON carefully as he will start to randomly display colors after a short delay. When he stops, a message 'your turn' appears.
Now use the D-Pad to click the Simon colors. Up for Green, Right for Red, Down for Yellow, and Left for Blue.
As soon as you get one color wrong the round is over and you go back to round 1. Get it right and a message will alert you of your victory. Then press start to precede to next round.

APPS THAT I HAVE INCLUDED I DID NOT MAKE AND I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR MAK-
ING THEM THE DEV'S WHO HAVE WORKED HARD ON MAKING THEM ARE CORRECTLY
CREDITED AS THEY SHOULD BE. I have edited some files slightly in ord-
er for them to function correctly within my application. Well enough
talking lets start flashing!
