I've narrowed down the new information below, so you don't have to read all of it.

• One of the several new mini-games in Vice City Stories includes golfing! In one mission, you'll take on a golfing challenge with a character called Gonzales (the guy you kill in GTA: Vice City with a chainsaw). The entire control scheme consists of only one button. Tapping it will start a meter in motion, you then move it around to your desired powered level and once chosen, you tap it again. The process starts again, only choosing the accuracy of your shot.
• In the Empire Building mode there are six types of businesses, that include protection, extortion, and prostitution. The Director at R* Leeds, Gordon Hall, said that they will reveal more types as the release date gets closer.
• Your businesses will get attacked so you can hire and arm bodyguards to protect them. They will also function as safe houses (There are said to be 30 of them).
• The mode will be three tiered, meaning they'll be split into low, middle and high, each requiring more investment for staff and resources.
• To make the mode even more interactive, you'll be able to choose which business you want to run at a desired location. The locale will affect your success, for instance a drug smuggling business will perform good near the Airport or Docks.
• Employees are recruited in a similar way that you would gang members in San Andreas. If they want to work for you, they'll accept, and if not, you'll just have to find another.
• Notifications of attacks on your businesses will be similar to that of San Andreas too, only it will show up on Vic's pager. The business attacked will be able to defend himself, depending on the amount of staff, bodyguards, and weapons you equipped them with.
• Pedestrians on the streets of Vice City will be commenting on your success, so in the beginning you might get a few insulting ones, and as you progress they'll get more friendly.
• There is a picture that has a building that is under construction. The name of the construction company is T.U.M.E. Construction.

C3: How did the concept for Phoenix Wright arise, why do you think it has become such a popular franchise in Japan and where did the idea of translating the GBA games to the DS come from?

Ms. Matsukawa: I think the reason why this series became popular in Japan was that the players appreciated the GBA development team's passion for good quality. Then, word of mouth spread - that was how it became popular. I feel that the development team and the players communicated through the game.

Hey there! My first post here, I've started on a small project to get me started on ds homebrew, a small zombies mashing game, right now its just an early alpha, there's zombies that follow you and you have full movement capabilities, move with the pad - jump with A. I plan to expand on it greatly, let me know if you have any suggestions for gameplay.

Updates are now available for twenty six of my emulators. The major change in this update is improved file handling code, which at long last allows those wonderful people in Japan to use Kanji in their file names. I spent three weeks in Japan last year and immediately fell in love with the country; hopefully I'll be able to get back there in a few years.

As always, there are a number of fixes that affect all the different emulators:

Fixed several endian bugs; of particular note, screenshots and audio recordings now work correctly on Intel Macs.
File extensions are now included by default when saving screenshots or audio recordings.
Worked around issue preventing keyboard from working in full screen mode in Arnold and Frodo.
Resolved a number of situations where keyboard input would be registered even though the emulator window was not active.
(Enhancer) Resolved a visual glitch in the Preferences->Filter dialog.
(Enhancer) Updated eSellerate engine to prevent dead items being left in trash every reboot.
(Enhancer) Fixed issue where occasionally serial numbers might be rejected.
(Enhancer) Fixed endian bug preventing network play from working between PowerPC and Intel.
There are also some updates to individual emulators:

BSNES: In sync with the latest release for PC.
fMSX: Added support for RAM expansions. The English version of Snatcher now runs.
Handy: Ported to Xcode and recompiled as Universal Binary.
Horizon: Added option not to remap colon key.
Nestopia: Added file filtering to the open dialog.
Nestopia: Added sound sample support for assorted Japanese games. Nestopia will prompt you for the files if you choose one.
Nestopia: Added support for drag & drop with NSF files.
Nestopia: Added support for muting the five main sound channels independently.
Nestopia: In sync with the latest release for Windows.
SMS Plus: Resolved an error with the keyboard labelling.
That's all for now. Enjoy.

September 15, 2006 - Sega will be at the PS3's launch over in Japan with one of its lesser-known arcade titles. The company announced today plans to release Sega Golf Club for the PS3, in time for the system's 11/11 launch.

The exact name of the PS3 version is "Miyazato San Kyoudai Naizou Sega Golf Club." This translates to the somewhat bizarre "Sega Golf Club, with the Miyazato Siblings Built In." The Miyazato siblings are a brother, brother, sister trio of professional golfers, consisting of Kiyoshi Miyazato, Ai Miyazato and Yusaku Miyazato.

Sega's made a few modifications to make the arcade title suitable for the PS3. The arcade version used a special control setup with a small analogue lever for swinging. The PS3 version will use the left analogue stick to replicate the lever. To swing, you first tilt the left stick, then rotate it to set your power. Let go of the stick at the right time, and you'll swing.

Visually, the PS3 version looks like a next generation version of the arcade title. The arcade version ran on Sega's GameCube-based Tri-Force arcade board, so a visual update was expected. Check out our high resolution screens for a closer look.

In addition, Sega has added new modes of play to the PS3 version:

Round: 18 holes played with a single player and three computer players, following the standard rules of golf. You can set the computer player level and can chose between arcade mode, where you have a time and shot limit, or original mode, where all limits are removed.

Putter Golf: This mode offers wacky greens for your to test your golfing skills. By successfully striking item boxes, you earn new items.

Challenge Mode: This mode has an Outrun-like progression system. That is to say, when you clear one hole, you're allowed to select two additional holes of varying difficulty. Each hole presents a specific goal, with some even asking you to hit your ball into the water!

3 Hole Match: A 3 hole battle mode where players bet items on each hole. The game expects that each player will use his own memory card.

You're free to select from the three Miyazato siblings for each of these modes of play, or you can make use of a custom character that you've created on your own.

Currently, four courses have been announced for the PS3 version: Taiheiyo Club, Phoenix Country Club, Bali Hai Golf Club and St. Andrews Links. While these are all real life courses, the game will also, like the arcade version, have courses made exclusively for the home.

Sega is going to have some big competition in the golf genre come launch, as Sony's own Minna no Golf 5 (Hot Shots Golf 5) is also expected to launch with the PS3 in Japan. We'll get a chance to see how the two titles stack up to one another at the Tokyo Game Show next week
