    NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - More than 1,500 die-hard Nintendo fans, some of whom camped out overnight, eagerly awaited the Sunday release of the company's Wii video game console, the latest entrant in the $30 billion global game market.

    At the Times Square Toys "R" Us in New York, where a midnight(0500 GMT) launch party was planned, a line of approximately 1,000 gamers snaked around the block on Saturday.

    More than 500 enthusiasts gathered for the West Coast release at the GameStop store at Hollywood's Universal City Walk.

    The video game industry's own clash of the titans reboots this week with the midnight launch of Sony's PlayStation 3 and Sunday's debut of Nintendo's Wii.

    "We have enough product to satisfy the demand that's anticipated," Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime told Reuters.

    Instead of trying to steal hard-core gamers from Microsoft and Sony, which have already released the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, Nintendo hopes to expand the traditionally male video game audience by luring new players.

    Nintendo priced the Wii at $250, compared with the $600 premium PS3 and the $400 top-end Xbox 360.

    The Kyoto-based Nintendo Co. Ltd., which created video game characters Super Mario and Donkey Kong, has hooked girls and seniors with its "Nintendogs" pet training games and its "Brain Age" cognitive fitness title for its hand-held DS machine that is a break-out hit.

    The device offers touch-screen and voice recognition capabilities that allow users to "pet" and speak commands to their dog or to write and speak answers to brain teasers.

    Nintendo has taken a similar approach with the Wii.

    'MAKES YOU FEEL IN THE GAME'

    The console's computing power is dwarfed by the Xbox 360 and the PS3. And the Wii does not offer the lifelike, high-definition graphics its bigger rivals boast.

    Still, the Wii has captivated cynical gamers with its one-handed, motion-sensitive controller that lets users simulate fishing, playing tennis or shooting a bow and arrow.

    "That's what makes you feel in the game," said Sergio Gonzalez, 18, who along with friends Anton Stockton and Tulgat Vandandorj, has been at the front of the Wii line at a Los Angeles Best Buy since Friday afternoon.

    Gonzalez and his buddies say they will not flip their Wiis on Internet auction site eBay.com -- where people are selling reserved Wiis at an average price of $605, according to eBay Market Research.

    Waiting in line in Times Square, 17-year-old Xavier Herrera had the same plan: "I'm playing it tonight."

    People who got their hands on the PS3 early also sold the system on eBay, reeling in more than four times its retail price.

    Nintendo expects to ship 4 million Wii consoles globally by December 31, double the number of PS3s expected by year end.

    Nintendo's last console, the GameCube, sold 21 million units globally to land in third place, behind Sony's PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox. The company sold 11 million GameCubes in the United States and intends to double that number with the Wii.

    Video game analyst David Cole, president of DFC Intelligence, said Nintendo is offering a one-two punch at launch with its games "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" and "Wii Sports."

    "I'm a 'Zelda' fan. I have to get 'Zelda'," said Isaiah Johnson, 29, first in line at Times Square. ...

    Hi All,

    Thom is one of the best emulator of the Thomson TO7 home computer running on MacOS, Windows and Unix.

    It has been initially written by Sylvain Huet in 1996 (see http://www.sylvain-huet.com),
    then Eric Botcazou (see http://nostalgies.thomsonistes.org/) continued this project and added many news features.

    I've sucessfully modified, and port the source code of the version 1.5.5 of THOM and it's now working fine on PSP !

    It has been developped on linux for Firmware 1.5 and i hope it works also for 2.x using
    the great eloader (0.99x) from http://www.noobz.eu/.

    How to use it ? Everything is in the README.txt file.

    If you're looking for games and software have a look here :
    http://lair.thomsonistes.org/to7/jeux

    Sources are included, and this package is under the GNU public license,
    read COPYING.txt file for more information about it.

    Special thanks to all PSPSDK developpers, and to XazZ for his comments, feedback and suggestions.

    Enjoy, :thumbup:

    The Wii Channel has officially launched. I just loaded up a meek 2,000 points onto my Wii and purchased Donkey Kong for my Wii. This video gives you a quick overview of the channel and the process of finding and downloading a game. Kinda cool stuff, though getting into the Channel takes a bit too long. I suspect it's that initial connection that's slowing down the process.

    news via playfuls

    Even before the actual launch of Nintendo's console in the US (morning is almost here), several Wii games could already be acquired this week in North American shops. In just a few hours, their number will reach 20, and they will be joined by another 13 by the end of this year, plus 30 classic Virtual Console games for the Wii, in the likes of Mario or Zelda. Clearly a richer collection than the one offered by Sony, but only in terms of quantity. The quality of the Wii launch line-up, on the other hand, looks more diluted than the PS3 one, as it includes plenty of shaky titles based on cinema and TV licenses.

    Like we did in our previous story with the PlayStation 3 games, we'll jump right to the point:

    Wii launch games:

    - Avatar: The Last Airbender
    - Call of Duty 3
    - Cars: The Videogame
    - Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2
    - Excite Truck
    - GT Pro Series
    - Happy Feet
    - Madden NFL 07
    - Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
    - Monster 4X4 World Circuit
    - Rampage: Total Destruction
    - Rayman Raving Rabbids
    - Red Steel
    - SpongeBob SquarePants: The Creature from the Krusty Krab
    - Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
    - The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
    - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
    - Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
    - Trauma Center: Second Opinion
    - Wii Sports (inclus cu fiecare consolă Wii)
    By Christmas, the list will strenghten with titles such as Elebits, Far Cry: Vengeance, Need for Speed Carbon and Splinter Cell Double Agent, and like I said some other sub-par games. Midway and THQ are the main culprints for poluting these lists with all sorts of junk, while Ubisoft remains the third-party publisher with the most solid games catalogue for this launch.

    In the future, however, things could easily change, because Namco-Bandai recently announced that they will support the next-gen consoles with 10 PS3 / Xbox 360 games, and 30 Wii games! Some of them are listed on GoNintendo, but the vast majority are still shrouded in mystery.

    For those of you taking a keen interest in classic games, most of these have already been known for some time: Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Super Mario 64, Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe any many more. A more complete list can be found on CVG. And speaking of which, the Wii manual (actually Joystiq) warns us that some Virtaul Console games can only be played using a classic controller, which is sold separately for the Wii console (even though Nintendo previously annouced that all retro games will be playable with a GameCube controller).

    And that's about it, for now, about the Wii games. But there's still plenty left to say about the new Wii and PlayStation 3 consoles... *yawn* maybe tomorrow... *yawn* or the day after tomorrow. ...
