Konami has revealed that a sequel to last year's Lost in Blue is set to wash up on DS early next year.
Following the same structure as the original game, Lost in Blue 2 sees players controlling a male protagonist who finds himself stranded on an apparently deserted island. Along with a female friend, the pair must work together in order to discover a means of escaping their sun-drenched prison.
As before, players must search for wood and other objects to fashion weapons and feed themselves, fending off dehydration and starvation so as to explore the island's mountainous terrain. However, the sequel will apparently use the DS's touchscreen more extensively this time around. Konami states that the stylus is now invaluable for carpentry, wicker work, cooking food that would normally make the protagonists ill and skin diving.
Other new features include substantially different attributes for the two main leads - the male character is better at climbing, fighting and recovering energy, while the female can hold her breath under water for longer periods of time, is more accurate with a bow and more adept at locating ingredients for those all-important meals. Furthermore, the island now sports an unpredictable climate, meaning players will be exposed to hurricanes and earthquakes throughout their adventures.
Lost in Blue 2 is set for release on DS in early 2007. ...by Published on August 23rd, 2006 16:10

News via PSP Vault
Sony has released the results of a survey of Japanese PSP users and their PSP usage habits. None of the statistics are terribly surprising -- most respondents have used the System Update feature, have played audio/video on their device, have downloaded game demos, and so on. What surprised me was that 66% of the respondents said that they were interested in trying LocationFree; only about 7% of respondents actually had experience with the PSP's LocationFree feature. Maybe Sony will make a move on the LocationFree box's price? The survey also showed that 54% of respondents ranked "the ability to download game demos directly to the PSP" as their favorite feature of firmware 2.71 -- ranking above the ability to download game demos using a PC (42%), and above the ability to play Flash content (40%). 72% of respondents used their PSP at least once a week (11% don't use it at all, apparently), and about 44% of those who use it once a week use it for around an hour per session.

CraigT has released some new news about his Spectrum Emulator for the DS, heres what he posted:
Its been a bit quiet on here, but SpeccyDS has been rumbling on…...
I’ve been focusing on problems in the CPU core over the last few weeks. I must have made somewhere in the region of 5-10 bug fixes that have been preventing games from running. As a result, the following games that didn’t work 2 weeks ago now all work perfectly… Robocop, Chase HQ, Three Weeks in Paradise, Batman, Exolon, Bombjack and Dan Dare.
There are still issues with a few games, including Chaos (the AI doesn’t feel right), Starquake (crashes in game), Sabre Wulf (classic rhino emulation bug), Megabucks (crashes in the menu). I will be trying out more over the next few days.
I have also been giving some thought about emulating the sound. I’ve already solved how to regularly store the sound data from the CPU, but i’ve only briefly looked at how to convert this into a format that the DS will process. It looks like i’ve got some more reading ahead of meby Published on August 23rd, 2006 15:27

Sony Corp. (6758.T: Quote, NEWS, Research) said on Wednesday it would offer 27 playable games for its PlayStation 3 at the Tokyo Game Show next month, a sign of progress in critical software development ahead of the November launch of the latest version of its blockbuster game console.
Sony, which competes with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) and Nintendo Co. Ltd (7974.OS: Quote, NEWS, Research) in the global video game market, offered 13 playable PS3 software titles at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) trade show in Los Angeles in May.
Having a wide range of popular software at the time of the launch is considered crucial for success in the game console market.
Any indication of how the upcoming console could fare is closely watched, as the success or failure of the game machine would exert a far-reaching impact on Sony's group-wide performance.
At stake is not just pole position in the nearly $30 billion global video game industry, but dominance in next-generation DVDs and the commercial viability of Sony's Cell microchips, co-developed by Toshiba Corp. (6502.T: Quote, NEWS, Research) and International Business Machines Corp. (IBM.N: Quote, Profile, Research).
"It doesn't necessarily mean everything is running according to plan, but it's good to hear some positive development concerning the PlayStation 3," KBC Securities analyst Hiroshi Kamide said.
Playable games at the Tokyo Game Show, which will run from Sept. 22 to Sept. 24, will include such titles as Ridge Racer 7 from Namco Bandai Holdings Inc. (7832.T: Quote, NEWS, Research) and Capcom Co. Ltd.'s (9697.T: Quote, NEWS, Research) Devil May Cry 4. ...by Published on August 23rd, 2006 14:32
