Askot and DSBomb have worked on a new version of the Snes Emulator for Gamecube and Nintendo Wii:

Heres whats new:


The usual instructions apply. Make the "snes9x" directory on your SD card, then the "roms" and "saves" directories inside that. For the WiiSD, long file names are not supported, so it's best to keep them to the 8.3 format (eight characters, then a single period, and a three letter extension). I wanted write support more than long filename support at this time.

Enterbrain has distanced itself from a story by Bloomberg that claimed its president Hirokazu Hamamura said Nintendo would use E3 to showcase a redesigned DS, a rumour Nintendo has strongly denied.

The Japanese company, which publishes games magazine Famitsu, issued a statement flatly denying the predictions attributed to their president.

"No such statement or announcement was made by the president," the company said.

The statement claimed that Hamamura actually told Bloomberg that he would continue to pay attention to the direction the DS was going in and that he had high expectations for this year's E3.

"He did not, however, make a comment about the possibility of an announcement by Nintendo concerning a new model or successor to the Nintendo DS due to its current scarce product availability caused by its worldwide popularity," the company added. ...

A new Saints Row 2 trailer couldn't possibly be any worse than the last one released, and this time around we're being treated to in-game action rather than squiggly lines and dialogue.

You can watch the trailer, which runs for two minutes, in our video player. Can this really stand up against GTA IV?

On top of the trailer, THQ's released four new screenshots into the wild, which we've included here for a Saints Row 2 media medley.

The sequel's just been slapped with an August 29 release date for the UK.

Earlier today, Namco Bandai announced the release of a new update for Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection Online. The update, which is available for free at the PlayStation Store, adds a number of new features for the title that was released in March of 2007. Players now have the ability to enter Pickup Match Mode, continuously fighting in one-on-one matches instead of entering the waiting room. Users can enter and display names for specific online rooms, and even filter their opponents by connection speed via the Flag search feature.

Multiple bug fixes have been made to the game, and additional notifications have been added to let players know when they can fight or when players have entered or left an online room. Another feature that's been included is if your ranked match option is set to off, the results of that match won't affect your overall win/loss record, allowing for more casual fights or players to get practice online against other players. Finally, the update provides DualShock 3 rumble support so players can feel the force of each punch and kick in the game.

We'll have more on Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection as it becomes available. ...

This summer, Oxygen Games will release Pirates: Duels on the High Seas for the Nintendo DS. Buried in a press release announcing the portable game was the news that a prequel called Pirates: The Key of Dreams is also coming to WiiWare.

Duels on the High Seas sends players in search of Blackbeard's treasure, the Seven Keys of the Seven Seas. The Royal Navy, the Kraken, the Witch Queen, and Blackbeard himself will all try to stop your journey.

The Key of Dreams will expand on this story, but unfortunately that's all the info we have at this time. Players can look forward to walking the plank this summer. ...

Some people quit smoking with a patch, some with therapy, and some still with hypnosis or acupuncture. DS Fanboy reader Dan had an alternate method: he replaced his nicotine addiction with an addiction to Pokemon. So far he's only 40 days into the trial, but he's reporting success. (What is not reported, however, is how many pokemon he's caught. This is a vital detail, folks!)

So what happens when Dan needs to break his Pokemon addiction?
