Nintendo's WiiWare service will launch in Europe on 20th May and games will cost 500 Wii Points and upwards, according to a release issued today.
Nintendo has yet to announce a European launch line-up for the service, which will offer first- and third-party downloadable games, but we can assume it will be drawn from the games shown off in the US recently.
WiiWare has already launched in Japan on 25th March and will go live in the US on 12th May. Games include LostWinds from UK developer Frontier, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King by Square Enix, and Strong Bad's Cool Games for Attractive People by Telltale, based on the Homestar Runner cartoons.
Then, 30th May will see the European launch of a new "Nintendo Channel", which will be used for "keeping everyone up-to-date on all the latest information for past, present and future games on all Nintendo platforms". Er, back off? ...by Published on April 24th, 2008 21:39
PlayStation and Sky have announced the Go!View service, the first official PSP video download service in Europe, will go live in the summer.
Go!View will provide programming from the worlds of entertainment, comedy, sport and movies for PSP owners and will let them create their own individual TV schedule on their PSP - to watch whenever and wherever they choose.
Go!View will work on either a subscription or pay-per-view basis and users will need to register on the Go!View website where they can then download content to the PSP via their PC rather than via Sky box hook up.
"Go!View allows PSP users to take advantage of a unique service, adding another dimension to PSP's offering", said Owen Jenkinson, Go!View marketing manager.
"The opportunity to watch top TV and movies on-the-go and on-demand will allow PSP owners to enjoy their favourite entertainment on their own terms, enhancing the PSP's offering as a portable gaming console."
No firm dates, other than a "summer" launch, or pricing details have yet been revealed. We will keep you informed.

The whole point of the program is to unlock you device not with some alphanumeric sequence or a simple key combination, but with a sequence pattern of points on screen.
Then the sequence entering screen is shown, where you need to repeat the configured sequence by taping the moving shapes. Device is automatically locked after soft-reset.
Going to check compatibility/add with different screen lockers (like S2U2) in future versions. Locker does not consume any resources while screen is locked. It is only activated when unlock is initiated.
Current version is in beta stage, so chances are there might be some quirks here and there.
Changes:
- New unlocker - Static picture with absolute positioning (others have relative).
- Config stored in program folder now.
- A bit more user friendly configurator. Shows order of entered points with letters. Loads previous settings.
- Possibility to unlock device with a special 'panic' key.
- Letters are shown instead of numbers in unlocker screen.
- Option to automatically lock after soft-reset.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be released on 27th June in Europe, Nintendo said today.
Having puffed out its chest about Wii hardware and software sales and announced European WiiWare details this morning, Nintendo has also issued a bunch of release dates and SSBB was among them.
At a glance, there's nothing massively new and fascinating elsewhere on the list (and indeed some of it is slightly less detailed information than what we already have - we know Boom Blox is out on 9th May, for instance, whereas this list just says May), but there are a few unknown quantities tucked away in its depths.
Family Ski, for instance, is down as 13th June, and Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat? from Nintendo claims to be out in June as well.

Nintendo has released its Q4 results with data showing that the company earned a total of JPY 107.6 billion (USD 1.038 billion / EUR 659.6 million) from hardware sales in the past year.
That number breaks down into JPY 46.7 billion (USD 450.7 million / EUR 286.2 million) earnings from handhelds, JPY 49.9 billion (USD 481.5 / EUR 305.8 million) from consoles and JPY 11 billion (USD 106.1 million / EUR 67.4 million) from other hardware products.
The report also revealed that Nintendo sold 18.6 million Wii units in total over the year, selling 3.9 million units in Japan, 8.2 million units in the Americas and 6.4 million units in the rest of the world. This has brought the total number of units sold to 24.4 million since the console's launch and is an increase of 12.7 million units on the previous year.
Nintendo also sold 30.3 million DS handheld units worldwide, with Japan accounting for 63.6 million of the units, the Americas 10.6 million and the rest of the world accounting for 13.3 million. This represents an increase of 6.3 million units on the figures from last year.
The Game Boy Advance continued to sell well, shifting 15.9 million units worldwide, although that is significantly down from the 43.4 million units sold the year before. Figures for the GameCube were tiny by comparison, with the virtually obselete console selling 160,000 units worldwide. ...by Published on April 24th, 2008 21:28

Not content with coming up with the longest game name on record (or at least our record, which we started today), Square Enix has dispatched news that Final Fantasy IV for DS will be released in Europe this summer.
FFIV is another golden RPG oldie from the days of Tony Cottee and the Berlin Wall, and sees the noble Lord Captain of Baron's Red Wings, Cecil, demoted by his Elemental Crystal-loving king and sent off to fight a mysterious beast in the Valley of Mist. Typical.
It was the first FF to introduce the Active Time Battle system - the one where you wait for a bar to fill before making your move - and is reborn on DS with fancy 3D graphics, voice-acted cut-scenes, remixed music, touch-screen controls and more.
...Like the use of both screens, and a dungeon mapping system, and a mini-game where you nurture Summon monsters and then fight your friends' via Wi-Fi. We do like those things.
Find out how much in our review of the DS FFIV nearer its summer release, and in the meantime check out some screenshots. ...- Search DCEmu
