Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has declared that the DS is the clear winner in the war of the handhelds - and that the Wii is set to follow suit in the home console market.
Speaking to USA Today, Fils-Aime said: "Nintendo DS in Japan outsells all of our competitors by a factor of five to one. We are so far in advance of our handheld competitors that they're not even on the map.
"That's all based on a market expansion strategy. And that's what we're looking to do with home consoles," he continued.
By expanding the market, Fils-Aime said, Nintendo will attract new consumers to gaming and dramatically increase its market share - leaving Sony and Microsoft to fight it out at the higher-end price range.
"Our competitors are both going down the same path. Both believe that more and more performance with a higher and higher price tage are their keys to success," he stated.
"What do I see? I think our two competitors will trade share between them, while we go off and grab share in a completely different way."
Fils-Aime went on to dismiss suggestions that the Wii will become the second home console of choice for consumers who have already purchased a PS3 or Xbox 360, stating: "I'd much rather have the consumer buy a Wii, some accessories, and a ton of games, versus buying any of my competitor's products."
Nintendo has yet to announce a price and release date for the Wii, although it has been confirmed that the console will launch this year. The company is still riding high on the success of the Nintendo DS, which has proved a hit with consumers around the globe - and particularly in Japan. According to recently released CESA figures, Nintendo sold 4.25 million DS units during 2005, while Sony shifted 2.61 million PSPs. ...by Published on August 15th, 2006 16:37

Guitar Hero II will make its first public appearance in Europe on August 22nd at the Edinburgh Interactive Entertainment Festival.
It's going all the way to 11, in fact - 11am anyway, when it'll start screening at the Odeon, Lothian Road, for an hour.
There'll be an opportunity to see, hear and even try the new multiplayer modes which split the game between rhythm, lead and bass guitar parts - with two tracks per song - and having had a chance to dabble in this ourselves at E3 we can say that it certainly doesn't dilute the impact of each strain.
If you fancy heading along to the event in Edinburgh, you should bear in mind that tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis by Gamestation stores in Scotland, with a limited allocation available on the day. ...by Published on August 15th, 2006 16:30
News from Divineo UK
After a long delay, we now have limited stock of the M3 Adapters!
Heres what M3 is for those who dont know:
M3 Adapter is made for those who want to download freeware games, movies and music from a PC to a GBA(SP) and/or Nintendo DS. You can use your PC and normal SD Card Reader to transfer and convert you movie & music files to the SD Cards. Then, insert M3 Adapter with SD Card into GBA(SP) or Nintendo DS, and the files will be available after boot up of the console.
Its features are just the same as any other MP3 Player on the market but also playing games and movies instead of playing music only.
One of the coolest features of an M3 Adapter is that you can directly run third party software on it – that includes emulators of the video game system. ...by Published on August 14th, 2006 23:59
Danny_kay1710 has released a new version of his PSP Link program for the PSP(for devs)
PSPLink v1.3 changelog:
Added PimpStreamer server support. Enable it on the system tray icon
Added Wi-Fi Controller server support. Enable it on the system tray icon
Because WifiController Host closes automatically when not properly configured, a test button has been added to the settings menu. This will run the host without hiding it giving you chance to see if it stays open (meaning it is properly set up) or if it closes straight away (needs more configuration!)
Now can start PimpStreamer or Wi-Fi controller with PSPLink (PimpStreamer will start minimised when started at program start) This means that effectively you can make PimpStreamer run as Windows starts along with wifi controller through PSPLink
The setup no longer installs any readme’s

Gadget posted this news:
Hi,...
I have released a very early version of 'GP2X Invaders'. It's a retro game, and I want to make sure it's working OK for everyone at this stage, and to try and gauge interest.
The final game will have many enemies, attack types, wave formations, powerups & weapons, as well as secret sectors, more bosses, and mini games. Please give it a try! The final release may be commercial, but it will be a few weeks yet at least.
Also remember that lots will change (for the better hopefully!)

A recent IGN Podcast has unveiled some interesting tidbits related to the Wii. Now, we all know IGN's information comes from the shadiest of places...scarred men whispering secrets in dank alleyways, unnatural seances with souls departed...but if they're willing to dive into hell's inferno to obtain some info, then we're certainly willing to take all the credit relate it to you, the faithful reader. So, without further ado:
Nintendo may decide to move Super Paper Mario directly to the Wii, as the Gamecube is essentially dead in the water. This would not only make financial sense, but finally allow us at Wii Fanboy to cover this excellent looking game. We want to believe it.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption may not make the Wii launch after all. This is directly contradicting several months' worth of continuous confirmations by Nintendo and Retro Studios, and would take a lot of steam out of the superlative launch lineup. We doubt it.
Dragon's Quest: Swords also may not make the launch window. We see no reason to disbelieve such a thing; Square-Enix loves their delays.
Excite Truck has been confirmed as a launch title. Why not?
LucasArts has indeed been developing a lightsaber game for the Wii. Yeah. We know.
Publisher THQ has 6 to 8 titles in development for the Wii. Seeing as how they're handling the more lighthearted affairs (Cars, Spongebob), it seems plausible, but none too exciting.
At the Leipzig Games Convention (coming soon!), Nintendo and third parties will reveal exactly how they intend to port more traditional game fare from the PS3 and Xbox 360 over to the Wii. Uhhh...sure.
And, there you have it. ...by Published on August 14th, 2006 20:29
DCEmu wouldnt be the great network it is if it wasnt for the support of the hundreds of coders in various scenes who have posted their releases on this network.
Coders we know have access to post their releases in any of our news forums the news then shows up on the respective site, a really easy and simple way to get your releases noticed, once we know your a coder you have access to upload all your releases and post news.
Posting a release or news of a release should be done in our Submit News forum if your a normal member or an unknown coder, if the release you make is uploaded to a horrid freeserver we will upload onto the forums and then you can see yourself how many downloads happen and you get feedback.
When a release is posted the site where the release shows up will then link to the release thread so your getting feedback all the time and the credits go to the coders who make the great releases (sadly a lot of sites dont provide any link to coders homepages at all but mirror the releases).
We have earmarked several people who we would like to see as newsposters but to all coders from any scenes if you contact us we will add you so that in your own words you can let others know of your great work.
Ok back to normal news now. ...by Published on August 14th, 2006 18:59
Some plucky fellow who obviously has real talent has painted his DS Lite and the added attraction of 2 rather sweet ladys on.
