    Nintendo of America has declared strong support for US Government-led initatives to crack down on videogame piracy in China.

    Every year, the US Trade Representative solicits views from companies about piracy in foreign countries as part of the Special 301 process. This year Nintendo gave evidence about piracy in China, Hong Kong, Brazil, Mexico and Paraguay.

    According to figures quoted by Nintendo, more than 7.7 million counterfeit videogame products have been seized from over 300 Chinese factories and retailers during the last ten years.

    In a statement, the company said China is "the leading production site and exporter for counterfeit Nintendo videogame products", and also has the largest domestic consumption - but there has only been one criminal prosecution.

    "Numerous factories, where tens of thousands of counterfeit Nintendo products were seized, escaped with only trivial fines or no penalty at all. And often these production sites continue to operate after products are seized," the statement continued.

    Jodi Daugherty, NoA's senior director of anti-piracy, commented, "Nintendo will continue to work with the U.S. government while aggressively pursuing counterfeit Nintendo products in China.

    "We're pleased the US government is pushing China to comply with its trade commitments in an effort to protect the lifeblood of the copyright and trademark industries." ...

    Microsoft and Bungie have announced that the Halo 3 multiplayer beta test will go live on May 16 and run until June 6.

    The beta is available to Xbox 360 consumers who have secured a place in the test via the Rule of Three promotion or by buying a copy of the recently released Crackdown, where specially marked copies of the game feature a key to access gameplay for the highly-anticipated first-person shooter.

    "Bringing an early look at the multiplayer elements of Halo 3 to our passionate fan base is tremendously exciting for us," offered Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Games Studios.

    The beta test will give consumers access to three new multiplayer maps, along with new vehicles and weaponry, ahead of the games release later this year.

    Microsoft also released a new behind-the-scenes video on Xbox Live Marketplace today, revealing how the Halo 3 mutliplayer maps are being designed and implemented within the game. ...

    Virgin Radio has launched a music player for the Wii and PlayStation 3 web browsers in the UK.

    The player streams music from Virgin Radio, Virgin Radio Extreme, Virgin Radio Classic Rock and Virgin Radio Groove.

    "It's great for us to achieve another new media first and be the only UK radio station available on both of these massively popular games consoles," said James Cridland, director of digital media, reports Radio Today.

    "People are treating the consoles as part of their home entertainment media centre and now Virgin Radio will be part of that experience. This platform has great growth potential, particularly among early-adopters and the 25 – 44 audience popular with advertisers," he added.

    As well as the radio player, users will be able to buy tickets and CDs and download music through the Virgin Radio Ticket Store. ...

    Zero-One has released a new version of his port of Triple Triad for the PSP.

    Heres the release details:
    TTPSP UPDATE v 0.4.21:
    A triple trad team and a psp-ita.com hb project.


    In those first days we managed to start a psp multiplayer community from scratch.
    After the first few hours the european server start to slowly lost in performance,so we had to shut it down,migrating player on the AMERICA1 server.
    Sessions were very unstable,player stats where wrong.
    Client was very buggy,during chat or lobby many people keep crashing,taking with him his opponent wich is stuck in the room alone.
    Player list have graphical glitches and sometimes invites freeze the client.
    In 2 days more than 1400 users registered.In 2 days 4787 matchs where hosted in those first 4 days and 1235 where completed without any crash (we assume crashes are just the half of the totals,cause one crash involves the other player.)

    But hey,that was the first attemp!We are not going to leave the situation like that anyway!
    This first attemp was pretty satisfying for us to see things going almost like we planned,on the other side we know that many players were frustrated by online game instability.
    we apologies for those issues and we promise to keep the servers and the client updated and with new features!

    So here we are with this 0.4.21 update.

    CHANGELOG:

    -Ingame crashes rate lowered.
    -Forget (and forgive) quitters or crashers: you can now quit in any time after a while in any screen of the matchmaking.Quitters will be logged.
    -Timer to auto leave request after 60 secs.Quitters are logged.
    -Lost money & all the cards?cannot play anymore?added a function to re-initialize your account (cards & money) without loosing Exp.just enter the shop when you have less than 5 cards in the deck an less than 200 Guils.
    -Problems like session timeout,validation result and that kind of stuff, have been fixed on the server itself o the go.
    -A layer of security has been added,no cheating has been confirmed,a couple of awesome players are owning thought .
    -Stats now works correctly,and has been syncronized.top 50 works fine now.
    -We have been contacted by contributors to expand the infrastructure to 3 server.Btw whe preferred to manage the community on a single server,located in Western USA.
    to not split people on 3 worlds.
    -Added a location message if an user logout.
    -Card number changed to show equipped cards also.
    -Chat issues has been fixed.BTW,standard messages may not work if someone do not translate them in your own language.
    -Player List has been fixed,no more crappy deformations
    -Invites popup freeze rate lowered almost to 0.
    -Player filters now works (press select while in a location)
    -Triangle show a direct player infos popup while choosing the deck before a match.
    -During match you can see rules.
    -This year is the Final Fantasy 7 10th anniversary,so we managed to added the most loved summon EVER.Is a special and very rare card.

    GDR PARAMETERS:
    When you register now,you will enter randomly in on of the majors world capitals,'cause Balamb's Garden where often full of people and a little too messy.
    Also,your region is saved for further developements...Regional tournaments anyone?
    Onother thing has been changed is the card cost when selling.
    We saw there was a lot of difference between users levels,and guils where easy to get (with trading even easier,reselling captured cards.).Now we re-calculated the selling ratio to 1/4*Card cost.card cost depends on your alignement.

    INFRASTRUCTURE:
    We wish like to thanks:
    -Chaosflare from qj.net which is actually hosting the TTPSP-AMERICA1 server (our public beta only server).
    -Genesis Hosting - Webhosting, Gameserver hosting, etc. http://servers.genesis.quasared. net/
    -The others contributors wich contacted us for giving support for hosting the gaming server:thanks guys!

    A new weekly special offer from Play Asia:



    In Sarugetchu: Pipo Saru Racer (aka. Ape Escape Racing) you build your monkey into a racing machine, by giving him an engine and tires. The game features 47 vehicles, each in two forms: one specialized in drifting, one specialized in acceleration.

    The main game consists of playing four tracks in a grand prix. The better you do each time will fill a monkey bar at the top of the grand prix menu. Once this bar is filled a VS mode is unlocked where you have to play the tracks again but an evil, much faster monkey is involved in the races. If you become overall #1 then you will 'rank up' and unlock another 4 tracks and so on.

    You can replay the levels you have unlocked in a normal race form or in a time trial form. Each of the tracks are set in the same arena but the path changes to a harder one as you unlock more. The tracks are set in this order. The Beach, The City, The Graveyard and The Jungle. Please note that these are not the original names but the author's interpretation.

    Sony's PSP™ Ape Escape racer Sarugetchu: Pipo Saru Racer is now available as region free Asia release at discounted US$ 14.90 only.

    As usually, this weekly special is valid for exactly 1 week (if not sold out earlier) and this time limited to a maximum purchase of 3 units per customer. As a small restriction, please also notice that you cannot use any further discount coupons along with this special offer. ...
