Crikey, we are up to our necks in rumour this week. The next stragglers to drag itself ashore from the sea of speculation are reports that Nintendo is planning to stuff feature films onto DS game cards and roll out the much-anticipated DS online service in the near future.[br]According to reports on gaming blog Kotaku, Nintendo is working on compressing video files using Divx so that they can fit onto tiny DS game cards. This way you wouldn't need any additional add-on - like Nintendo's own Play-Yan device - to watch flicks on the dual-screened handheld. This would bring DS into line with the growing list of UMD movies soon to be available for Sony's PSP.[br][br][br][br]It's estimated that around two hours of video could be compressed onto the little cards, and Kotaku speculates that an animated feature will be the first title to get a DS movie release. [br]It's not unbelievable - Nintendo has been selling Pokemon episodes on GBA carts for a long while now (although not in Europe), and the Play-Yan clearly shows the company wants to compete with Sony's multimedia PSP.[br][br]Next up is more speculation about the DS's forthcoming online service, which should allow DS owners around the world to compete and chat with each other via wi-fi hotspots. We brought you the exclusive confirmation from Nintendo that such a service was in the pipelines last month, but Kotaku's addition to the rumour pit is that the service will allow users to download games wirelessly.[br][br]In fact, this is fairly old news. Way back in October when Nintendo was revealing the full potential of the DS downloadable games and game demos were discussed. That's not to mention the handheld's nifty Game Sharing feature, which lets multiple gamers play against each other from one copy of a game thanks to wireless downloading.[br][br]Our sources have told us that the DS online service is imminent, and that announcements could coincide with the European launch of the handheld on March 11. From what we've heard we fully expect it to match PSP's online gaming functionality - read about it here.[br][br]So what's the official word from Nintendo on these rumours? We bet you can guess... "Nintendo does not comment on interent rumour and speculation."[br][br]More DS news - and the rumours that buzz around it like moths to a lightbulb - very soon. ...

There isn't a PSX forum, so I guess this was the best place to put this:


What's the best PSX emu out there?  It seems like none of the PSX emus have been updated in about 14 months.  So which one is the best?  My games are gaining some serious dust. ...

News From Lik Sang [br][br]Able/Milestone join the honourable ranks of vertical shooter developers like Psikyo, Alfa, Success and Treasure, proving dodging bullets is still the rage. Chaos Field, originally a Naomi arcade title, was released for the Sega Dreamcast last year, and has now made it's way to the GameCube, picking up a few bonuses along the way. This includes a new boss attack mode, plus new enemies.[br][br]Trailer (8.4mb - mpeg)The overall flow of Chaos Field was beautifully designed by its creators, it plays very smoothly with the various weapons available. Gameplay-wise, as smooth as it is, you are definitely in for an experience that will demand lightning-fast reflexes. Players are also rewarded when they take their fingers off the trigger for a second, letting you collect items leading up to special attacks. Other features include the ability to switch between two different modes, "Order" and "Chaos". The later makes your weapons more awe-demanding, but it's no easy life there, since this will also increase the power of enemy attacks significantly. Being invincible for an instant while going from one state to the other helps, but hey, we warned you - you're certainly in for a hardcore shooter ride! ...

News From Lik Sang [br][br]While Nintendo say "Touching is Good", MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This" would be a better phrase for this NDS. Suntory Limited announced they will team up with Nintendo for a campaign promoting the new Pepsi Twist this March, but just for Japan. Those who purchase the drink can send in the sticker for a lucky draw, and the first 1000 winners will receive a limited Pepsi Blue edition of Nintendo DS, complete with matching carry case, and a Pepsi styled version of the popular Hori headphones we sell here. Along with those, there's other prizes up for grabs such as Super Mario Stage figures.[br][br]Here in Hong Kong we're under a heavy David Beckham campaign from the same cola distributor (the soccer player's face is on every can you see), and Lik Sang does not expect to have this baby blue system on-sale anytime. With just 1000 units for all of Japan, supply is extremely limited. Should we ever get our hands on one or a few of them however, we'll make sure to add them to one of the next updates on our Payback Points Prizes Selection. On a final note, this is the first non-platinum colored NDS to see the light of the day, which gives us hope more choices will appear down the line also... ...

Microsoft's next-gen Xbox - also known as Xbox 2, Xbox Next, Xbox 360 or Xenon - will come with a removable iPod-style hard drive and feature customisable pop-on-pop-off covers like those diddy Smart cars.[br]According to internet reports, that is. The Xbox 2 rumour mill is on full grind right now, but it seems the speculation is homing closer and closer to the truth as the next-gen machine's expected late 2005 release date looms.[br][br]Most interestingly of all the whispers riding the winds of rumour, a report on gadget website Engadget suggests that Xbox 2 will indeed feature a detachable hard drive. This feature has been rumoured since Xbox big cheese J Allard spoke of such a removabel device last year.[br][br]According to Engadget's reports, the hard drive will slot neatly into a slick recepticle on the top of the system, "almost like the hood scoop on a muscle car". Furthermore, it's suggested that you will be able to buy Xbox 2 with or without the hard drive (with an option to pick one up later), an assertion that reinforces claims that the Xbox 2 will be available in three versions - a basic console, the console with hard drive fitted, and a PC-style version with additional features.[br]While this may sound strange considering the current Xbox has a hard drive, we imagine you'd still be able to hold your saved games on a memory card while the detachable hard drive would be used for multimedia files and memory-intensive applications.[br][br]So can we expect detachable hard drives? Engadget is quoting a source close to the product, and we've certainly heard whispers from our sources that we should expect a detachable storage device. Looking pretty likely, then.[br][br]But there's more. Gaming blog Kotaku is also carrying alleged Xbox 2 information, again from an "exclusive source". This little haul of details seems to confirm the Xbox 360 moniker (which certainly seems to be gathering legitimacy amongst powerful people within the industry), offers that the console design will look softer with "sweeps and curves" replacing the hard lines of the original Xbox, and suggests that the console's exterior can be customised with "designer face plates".[br][br]We've also heard that Xbox 2 will indeed strike a smoother, slimmer pose than its little brother. According to our sources, it'll weigh in with about the same size and weight as Sony's PS2 (the old one, not the wee one) and feature curved edges designed to slim it down even further.[br][br]And the official word on all this? Unfortunately, representatives from Microsoft UK were unavailable for comment at the time of press, but given the speculative nature of all these reports we think we can imagine the response we'd get...[br][br]We'll keep watching the rumours and bringing you the latest on Xbox 2. ...
