    Two new Pokémon revealed by Nintendo last week have received mixed reaction from the bustling Pocket Monster community (and yes, it is bustling).

    Zorua and Zoroark are the first of the fifth generation of Pokémmon to be revealed, and while some fans on the Official Nintendo Magazine forum like the look of them, others aren't happy.


    A fan going by the name of GeDe said: GeDe: "Good to see that Pokemon are being based on traditional Japanese monsters (or Yokai) again, like in the 2nd Generation. Anyone else think that Zorua & Zoroark wouldn't look out of place in Okami?"

    However, Tib-Z commented: "Please stop adding new Pokémon. I much preferred the original amount and at most the selection from Gold/Silver. Ever since Ruby/Sapphire it's just become ridiculous."

    Join this, as well as other debate on the war, price of bus fairs and global warming, over on the ONM forums.

    EA Mobile has announced a licensing deal with THQ Wireless and Team17 for the mobile rights to the Worms franchise. The publisher has already released a new version of Worms, while also assuming the rights to previous games including Worms 2008, Worms 2007, Worms Forts 3D, Worms Crazy Golf and Worms 2.
    However, developer Team17 is hanging onto the iPhone rights to the franchise, having taken Worms to the App Store for the first time last year under its own steam.
    The deal isn't particularly surprising, given that THQ Wireless exited the non-smartphone market last year, leaving Team17 in need of a new partner for non-iPhone platforms.
    It is, though, a sign of EA Mobile's desire to cement its position as the leading mobile games publisher in that business, having previously signed deals to distribute and/or publish games by Taito, Eidos and Namco Bandai.
    It's now openly acknowledged in the mobile games industry that Java and Brew revenues are in decline - both Gameloft and Glu admitted as such in their recent financials.
    Deals like Worms will help EA Mobile stem the slide in that market during this industry transition, while continuing to invest heavily in iPhone and other smartphone platforms.

    Nintendo awarded over half a million Australian dollars for sale of DS piracy device
    Nintendo is celebrating another victory in the war against the R4 card with news that an Australian distributor has been heavily fined for selling the device.
    ITnews reports that RSJ IT Solutions has been ordered to pay AUS$520,000 to Nintendo as a result of offering the R4 to customers. It has also been instructed to stop selling the R4 through one of its ecommerce portals.
    The owners of the company have also been banned from selling the R4 in any Australian territory and must name the suppliers from which it obtained the device by the end of the week.
    It’s the third major piracy victory for Nintendo in the space of a month.
    In January a UK court sentenced a man found guilty of importing thousands of R4 cards to a year behind bars. Earlier this month an Australian man was fined $1.3m after it was discovered that he uploaded a copy of Super Mario Bros Wii to the internet before the game was officially released.

    Exact details of Microsoft's plans for the Xbox Live element of its new Windows Phone 7 Series won't be revealed until its MIX conference next month, but it seems the service won't throw its doors wide open to the extent that Apple's App Store has.
    "It's not about whether you have 6,000 different arcade puzzle games in a specific category on your app store," says Oded Ran, Microsoft's UK-based head of consumer marketing for Windows Phone.
    "It's about how good they are – it's not about the number, it's about the quality."
    It also seems that the Xbox Live element to WinPho 7 will be closely tied into the company's existing development communities.
    "When we talk to developers who build games for Windows and Xbox, they tell us they would rather not rewrite everything for Windows Phone 7 Series," he says.
    "What we're doing is building a platform for the key game developers, and Xbox has a very strong ecosystem."
    Ran also says that Microsoft is looking to help developers by providing more consistency with the operating system, while in a clear reference to Android, he says Microsoft will also be working hard to please its handset partners.
    "We have no intention of owning the stack, or competing with partners," he says. "We're not going to keep the best version for ourselves and give you a version that's a month older..."

    Having last month confirmed its intentions to publish Ninety-Nine Nights II in Japan, Konami has now signalled its intentions to publish the game in the UK and Europe.
    Question marks had been hanging over the series’ future in the UK after Microsoft – publisher of the first game – handed over duties to Konami for the sequel, despite the fact that it is being developed by part-owned studio Feelplus, with Q Entertainment acting as co-developers.
    The game specialises in large-scale battles and, unlike its predecessor, will offer online co-op.
    It will be released on Xbox 360 in Europe this spring.

    There's a popular perception that Apple has much work to do when it comes to its support for iPhone games developers.
    Its approvals process is murky, its rejections are brusque and often without explanation, and its games teams reside in an ivory tower far blithely ignoring the concerns and requests of its developer community.
    That's the theory. However, in talking to numerous developers this week at Mobile World Congress, and in recent weeks, a very different picture has emerged.
    Apple has ramped up its behind-the-scenes efforts to work with key iPhone gaming firms - which includes some of the most talented indie developers, as well as giants like EA Mobile and Gameloft.
    For much of 2009, the mobile games industry was effectively trying to guess Apple's tastes, as developers and publishers hoped for coveted featured spots on the App Store.

    In 2010, certainly in Europe, Apple's games team has been visiting games firms to give direct, in-person feedback on what it likes and dislikes about their games - and about what it's looking for when allocating those featured spots on its store.
    With tens of thousands of games developers, of course the vast majority aren't getting this personal treatment.
    But the companies that are can ditch the guessing games about 'what Apple thinks' when developing their new titles.
    This isn't a hymn of praise to Apple for the sake of it. It's just that there's an interesting contrast between the public image of Apple as aloof from its games community, and its private efforts in its role as a platform owner.
    The company is starting to steer iPhone gaming, through these meetings and its choice of featured games. A fascinating development in the light of its rivals' efforts to court iPhone games developers, promising them more support and two-way communication.
    That's why Apple's recent efforts are significant. Many of the key iPhone games in the coming months will have had the company's hand in them.
    Arrogant? Anything but. As rivals launch more powerful handsets and look to get their app stores in order, Apple is taking its role as a games platform owner more seriously than ever.

    The International Trade Commission is launching an investigation into iPhones and BlackBerrys with digital cameras, after Kodak accused the devices’ manufacturers of infringing its patents.
    The commission said it had voted to go ahead with the probe, after Kodak filed a complaint against Apple and Research in Motion on 14 January.
    Kodak has requested that the ITC impose an exclusion order and cease and desist orders in order to prevent Apple and RIM from importing the allegedly offending devices.
    According to Reuters, Kodak has also filed two lawsuits against Apple, alleging infringement of patents that cover image preview and size functions on cameras, as well as certain other processes.
