Nintendo Gaming / GBA-games using touchscreen?

« on: October 08, 2004, 01:39:14 PM »

I was looking through the videos of the Japanese NDS press conference on Gamespot when I discovered something odd. In between the videos for NDS games, there was a video for a GBA game running on the NDS. The video showed someone at the press conference inserting the Pokemon Leaf Grean cartridge into the system and switching it on. After clicking a few times there are a number of Pokemon on both screens. After picking Picachu, it looks like you could draw on Picachu's picture using the touchscreen. Gamespot didn't have any text or newsitem to go with the video except "This movie shows how the Nintendo DS can be used to customize your Pokemon." and the whole video is in Japanese and it's difficult to see what's going on the screen, so I'm not sure if you need a certain DS game to do this, but it looks like GBA-games can use some of the functionality of the NDS. It hasn't been mentioned on any other site either. You can find the video here. Watch the video labeled "Nintendo DS Demonstration". Does anyone know exactly what is going on in the video?

NWR Feedback / "This page does not support your browser"-error

« on: October 14, 2003, 01:34:27 AM »

When I visited PGC today, an irritating JavaScript alert popped-up saying "This page does not support your browser. A browser version 4.0 or higher is required!". If I click this alert away it comes back within a second, making it impossible for me to read or click on anything on the main site. This does not happen when I visit the forums. I am using Mozilla 1.5 RC1(Windows version) at the moment, which has been working perfectly on the PGC site ever since it was released. Why is this happening?

Nintendo Gaming / New European Stars Catalogue

« on: September 08, 2003, 07:39:09 AM »

Nintendo of Europe have finally revealed the "new" Stars Catalogue. There only seem to be a few items added to the catalogue in limited amounts. That means that if you were too late, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the old catalogue and the new one. Why? Because at the moment, you can only get wallpapers and screensavers. I am a bit dissapointed in Nintendo of Europe after their big promises. I still managed to get a GameBoy Player though(there were 25 for all of Europe!!!), so I guess that I do not have that much to complain about.

Did anyone else manage to get anything???
