Its been a while, taken me a lot longer to refocus my efforts towards DCEmu, but this site is my spiritual internet home, anyway enough of the talk, DCEmu is going to be radically changed and condensed, the first site that im working on is Console News which is one of my oldest sites, Console News will now incorporate all the hosted sites news and other sites like console history, all those sites will be redirected to Console News.

Keep an eye on http://console-news.dcemu.co.uk/ and the forum at http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/for...ole-News-Forum to see the first of many changes at DCEmu. ...

Amazon UK have today gone out on a limb and put up a preorder price of £199 for the WiiU, the newest of Nintendo`s consoles that is due to be released before this Christmas, the price of £199 is much lower than other prices from shops like Shopto who put a price of an RRP of £279.99 only a few days ago.

Heres some details about the WiiU:

Discover a wealth of exciting new ways to enjoy home entertainment with Wii U, Nintendo's next home console. With a revolutionary new touch screen controller, precision motion controls, and full HD graphics, a whole new world of play styles and gaming possibilities is on the horizon. The time is coming to truly expand your idea about what a game console is - and can be. The system launches in 2012 and includes the new Wii U console and amazing new controller.

A New Wii Console Experience

According to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata, "Wii U redefines the structure of home entertainment by fundamentally changing how the TV, the game console and the Internet function and interact together", he continues, "The experience enabled by Wii U and its new controller takes players deeper into their games, while reaching out wider than ever before to be inviting to all kinds of gamers".

Wii U combines motion-sensing gameplay with the ability to support full HD graphics. Each Wii U console will be paired with a new groundbreaking controller, with its 6.2-inch wide screen. Previously, video games played on home consoles have been confined to the TV and offered identical viewpoints to each player in a multiplayer environment. The Wii U controller enhances that experience with different viewpoints available in-game and in differing games/game situations. Also, watching TV and playing console games have been completely separate experiences. The new controller removes these boundaries, creating a more dynamic and fluid gaming and entertainment experience. Examples of this new functionality include:

Within Single Player Games:

• While in-game the new controller can display information on its screen that does not appear on the TV
• The information and viewpoint can also change in the new controller based on the orientation of its gyroscope

Within Multiplayer Games:

• The player using the new controller can have a different experience than those looking at the TV creating a wider variety of competitive and cooperative opportunities

The New Controller

In addition to its 6.2-inch screen, the new controller also features an accelerometer and a gyroscope, a rumble feature, an inward-facing camera, a microphone and speakers. Adding these features to the Classic Controller button scheme -- two analogue Circle Pads, +Control Pad, A/B/X/Y buttons, L/R buttons and ZL/ZR buttons -- will enable a breadth of gameplay experiences while appealing to both casual and dedicated video game players. The Wii U system can also use up to four additional Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers and is backward compatible to all Wii games and all Wii accessories. The Wii console has sold more than 86 million units globally and greatly expanded the overall audience for video games. Wii U aims to expand that audience even further.

The Wii U Release Software Lineup

Wii U will feature a wide variety of exciting first and third party games and software at the time of system launch. Just a few of those players can expect include:

• New Super Mario Bros. Mii
• Darksiders II
• DiRT
• Aliens Colonial Marines
• Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online
• Metro Last Light
• Tekken
• Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (working title)
• And Nintendo Mii-based software yet to be confirmed

Technical Specifications

• Console Size - Approximately 1.8-inches tall, 6.8-inches wide and 10.5-inches long.
• New Controller - The new controller incorporates a 6.2-inch, 16:9 touch screen and traditional button controls, including two analogue circle pads. This combination removes the traditional barriers between games, players and the TV by creating a second window into the video game world. The rechargeable controller includes a power button, home button, +control pad, A/B/X/Y buttons, L/R buttons and ZL/ZR buttons. It includes a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope, rumble feature, camera, a microphone, stereo speakers, a sensor strip and a stylus.
• Other Controls - Up to four Wii Remote (or Wii Remote Plus) controllers can be connected at once. The new console supports all Wii controllers and input devices, including the Nunchuk controller, Classic Controller and Wii Balance Board.
• Media - A single self-loading media bay will play 12-centimetre proprietary high-density optical discs for the new console, as well as 12-centimetre

Welcome to the DCEmu Homebrew and Gaming Network.

DCEmu is now at the stage where we can call the network full again and with the addition of many new sites that cater not only for emulation and homebrew/hacking news but also for gaming and the likes of ebay and amazon too.

Since bringing our sites backonline late last year we have fully revamped each and every site and created many new ones, the sites most recent to be returned to the network are

DCEmu Interviews - http://interviews.dcemu.co.uk
PSMonkeys Site - http://nemo.dcemu.co.uk
PLynx Site - http://plynx.dcemu.co.uk

All that leaves is around 3 sites then the whole network is back to normal and our history over the last 8 years is brought back to life.

If you havent visited for a while then please check out the sites, the main DCEmu Portal only has a selection of news artcles now and most new news is found at the respective sites.

DCEmu is as it has been since i joined all the sites under the DCEmu banner a network which concentrates on Homebrew, Hacking, Development and Commercial Gaming and Hardware News.

All Homebrew/Emulation Coders once we verify them (and i spot them) have the ability to post in all our Console News Forums and the news automatically shows on the site to which that news forum belongs. We always like to have an onsite mirror but gladly welcome the linking to your own site.

DCEmu can be used by coders to become their release centre and with the Homebrew Scene across so many scenes being so massive now you can quickly get noticed by a lot of sites including mainstream networks.
Now with the News forums, normal members cant start topics in them but you can reply to any topic, Normal Members can post as Normal in any None News forum. I get so many emails asking why he/she cant post in whatever forum.

How Can You Help DCEmu

This site like any site is a massive undertaking and we need help on every console scene. No site in any scene is 100% perfect on what they cover and totally up to date. In homebrew methods change all the time and only you the users can help others join in the fun. If your a specialist in any console area and you want to see all the news appear its a great way of making sure it happens.

We are always in the need of Tutorials and Guides and FAQs not only for Homebrew but for hacking and Development and even just for gaming on consoles.

Our DCEmu Reviews Website is also in the need of reviews of both Hardware, Homebrew and Games Reviews so please review as much as possible.

Newsposters are always in need especially for WIP and Release News of Emulators, Homebrew etc and across many languages, i am English and to be honest the the translation apps on the net are crap, but the more help we get the better we can become, ive also no doubts that there are releases in places like Japan, China and Korea etc that never reach the likes of DCEmu and others because of language barriers.

Look, just because it's Halloween season doesn't mean everything has to be Halloween oriented, okay? We love costumes and candy as much as the next website, but if we see the word "spooktacular" one more time we're going to straight-up gouge our own brains out.

Amazon, at least, has the common courtesy to run a non-festive, yet entirely excellent buy 2, get 1 free sale in lieu of the expected, ghoulish sales promotions extended by other corporations. The sale applies to a boat-load of fresh hotness like Batman: Arkham City, Dark Souls and The ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection, so check it out if you'd rather spend $120 on new games rather than new cavities.
