SuccessHK have posted the release of this Commercial DS Game:



Latest release in the popular war game series Daisenryaku. This issue features new maps and weapons and the usual Nintendo DS features. The DS version will have greatly simplified systems to make the game suitable for beginners, for example the hexagon units in the battle field are changed to squares. You can use the stylus to control the game, and press the SELECT button to swap the top and bottom screens to issue commands to the troops and plan your strategies.

These iPod speakers are so horrible they’ve wrapped all the way around and become good again. Kinda.

The DJ is a cradle and speaker system that looks like a robotic DJ. Not an animatronic version of Candace Cameron from Full House—an actual DJ. This thing also shines lights and pretends to scratch the wheels of steel while interrupting your music with phrases like “Drop the Beat!” and “Here’s another FUNKit exclusive”.

One of the nicest touches during Nintendo's E3 press conference was the personalised player caricatures representing Satoru Iwata, Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aime on display during the trios' demonstration of Wii Sports Tennis. Now, it seems that more than a mere in-joke, Nintendo's forthcoming console may enable gamers to create their own avators for inclusion in a variety of games.

Speaking to CNN Money, Miyamoto explained, "We have some different ideas about how to take advantage of that functionality - and we will be sharing that type of functionality with third parties."

Quite how this will work is anyone's guess, but it's concievable that - given Nintendo's notion that everyone at home should have their own personalised Wiimote - the console will let players design their own characters, possibly by combining a set of pre-made facial features linked to a personal profile stored on the Wii (or even the remote itself, given 'net rumours that each will contain a small amount of memory).

Presumably then, this information would be available to any game that wants it. If this turns out to be true, it would seem that Baseball, Golf and Tennis in Wii Sports would most likely be the initial candidates for this feature, with more to follow.

In the interview Miyamoto also expressed his thoughts on the PS3's price tag and strangely familiar motion-sensitive controller features. On the former, Miyamoto revealed, "I knew before [the Sony announcement] that it was going to be expensive," said Miyamoto. "Even then, it was a bit of a shock. But I think it's clear that they don't want to lose a lot of money per unit."

As for that controller, Nintendo's design guru bullishly noted, "That always seems to happen and we kind of expected it. It reinforces for us that we've been on the right path all along. We've gotten used to others copying what we do - and we're having a lot of fun with it. [...] On the flipside, I suppose they must be worried about any other functionality we may announce."

Despite heading for a sluggish 2007 release, Smash Bros. Brawl has quickly become one of the most anticipated Wii titles amongst the gaming public.

As with the Gamecube instalment, series director Masahiro Sakurai is drip-feeding screenshots and information via his own official Smash Bros website, which today has sent a fresh batch of Wii screenshots spinning into our laps. Detailed in today's screens are Zero Suit Samus and Wario, who are looking extremely attractive, despite the Wii's apparent humble system specs when compared to the PS3 and 360.

Smash Bros. Brawl is penned for release in 2007, and will feature a new roster of characters including guest star Solid Snake and a smashing online mode. We can't wait and if you want to missed the splendid promo movie revealed at E3, cast eyes right and feast on its goodness.

Just when we'd got used to the idea of calling its new console 'Wii', Nintendo has gone on a domain name spending spree and bought some rather interesting dot coms monikers, much to our collective amusement.

First off let's get the childish humour out of the way; heading up Nintendo's domain name swag are office favourites Wiipower.com, Wiicreator.com, Wiilove.com, Wiicooking.com, Shallwii.com, Wiigirls.com and indeed Wiiboys.com. At the moment the domains all redirect to Nintendo's American website, but we'd love to see the final article Nintendo has planned for Wiiboys.com. A site for vertically challenged chaps possibly?

Advertisement:Anyway restraining our playground humour for a moment, some of the dot coms we've uncovered actually make sense, but some suggest new Wii revelations in the form of: Wiianimation.com, Wiifitness.com, Wiikaraoke.com, Wiimusic.com and Wiilanguages.com - all of which have us scratching our heads in Friday morning confusion. A Wii fitness game? A Singstar-style karaoke game? All will no-doubt be revealed in the fullness of Wii time.

Whilst we trawl through the list looking for more side-splitting toilet humour, why don't you spend your morning searching for hidden Wii domains or inventing some of your own?

Internet cogs are whirring at full capacity this morning as rumours spiral uncontrollably regarding the possible inclusion of a mic on Nintendo's upcoming Wii console's remote controller. Admittedly, it's all based on speculation, largely fuelled by the discovery of the domain Wiikaraoke.com registered by Nintendo, but hey - who cares!

Some 'net pundits are pointing to Wiikaraoke.com's existence as further evidence that the Wii's remote will be microphonically enhanced and that - in line with Nintendo's family friendly, party game push on the new machine - signals a brand new vocally-focussed franchise for the company. Cue frenzied yodelling of "OMG!11 NINTENTO COPYED SONYS SINGSTARR!!!" on messageboards everywhere, probably.

This news comes on top of various 'net reports this week erroneously pointing to an official (yet non-existant) announcement regarding an in-built Wiimote mic. Many of these have included news of voice-over IP functionality for the new console and - while still purely speculative - does seem at least a reasonable supposition.

Given the fact that Nintendo's DS already sports such a feature, it would seem likely that mic capabilities will find themselves on Wii come release. Of course, the fact that Nintendo made such a song-and-dance about the fairly underwhelming Wiimote speaker at E3 also suggests that there's something about it the company isn't yet telling us. As such, we're not going to dismiss the existence of a Wii karaoke title and other mic functionality for the time being - instead we'll conclude with the tried and tested "wait and see".
