The company's shareholders have voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Square Enix buyout.

During a shareholder meeting, shareholders voted whether or not to allow Square Enix to take over Eidos for $117 Million. Over 85 percent of voters voted in favor of the corporate takeover.

Eidos will suspend its shares on April 21st and will be delisted from the London Stock Exchange the very next day. Square Enix will officially own Eidos on May 6th, giving the major Japanese game maker access to Eidos' distribution network in America and Europe as well as possession of Eidos' franchises, including the storied Tomb Raider property.

Nintendo plans to release a new type of DS game card that works on all DS models, but will take advantage of DSi's hardware features.

Masato Kuwahara, the project leader of the DSi hardware group, confirmed that Nintendo is planning "Nintendo DSi enhanced game cards." These new types of game cards will be playable on all models of the DS. However, if these game cards are played on a DSi, players will be able to enjoy DSi hardware specific features, such as creating textures from photographs that are taken by the DSi camera.

The "Nintendo DSi enhanced game cards" are currently in development, and the development process of the DSi hardware inspired Nintendo to create these enhanced game cards.

The past two weeks contained games from the Final Fantasy, Pokémon, and Grand Theft Auto series. Also, Guitar Hero gets some Hendrix, Queen, and more while Rock Band gets songs from the Who, James Brown, and many more.

After a week of vacation, we've got two weeks of games for you, and it was a packed two weeks.

On Wii, there's everything from a remake of a classic adventure game (Ubisoft's Broken Swords: Shadow of the Templars) to the latest Kororinpa game. There's also a new installment of Pro Evolution Soccer, a Wii version of Rune Factory, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, which is also on DS.

DS has a new Pokémon, the acclaimed Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Scrabble, Henry Hatsworth, and a DS iteration in Square Enix's Valkyrie Profile series.

The CEO of Level 5 confirmed that the company is localizing Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.

Yesterday at GDC, Akihiro Hino, the president and CEO of Level 5, spoke at the session entitled "Level-5’s Techniques to Producing a Hit Game." At the beginning of his speech, Hino showed a list of all the games that Level 5 released; the second game having an official English translation of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.

During the Q&A session that followed, Hino said that he wants all six Professor Layton games to be released in North America and Europe. He also revealed that Level 5 is currently working on a localization of the second Professor Layton title that will hopefully be released sometime in six months.

Arcade games are now available on Virtual Console! The launch slate contains four classics from Namco Bandai and Tecmo.

One of the surprising announcements that came out of Iwata's keynote at GDC 2009 was the addition of Virtual Console Arcade, which adds arcade games to the ever-expanding list of platforms available through Wii. The first games, available today, are from Namco Bandai and Tecmo.

The second game in the Nintendo boxing franchise is coming to Virtual Console in advance of its Wii sequel's May release.

According to IGN, the 1994 Super Nintendo sequel to the NES' Punch-Out!!, Super Punch-Out!!, is hitting Virtual Console next week. This isn't too unexpected in the light of the franchise's upcoming return this May with the release of Punch-Out!! on the Wii, developed by Next Level Games.

The original game in the series came out on Virtual Console in the middle of 2007. In 2005, Super Punch-Out!! was featured as an unlockable in the GameCube version of EA's Fight Night Round 3.

The latest Punch-Out!! trailer from GDC 2009 shows off gameplay, iconic music, Disco Kid, and the classic training sequence.

Originally an exclusive to the Nintendo Channel, the latest trailer for Punch-Out!! is shown here.

The trailer contains gameplay footage that shows off four different boxers: Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, King Hippo, and newcomer Disco Kid. It also shows the heroic Little Mac going through training with series staple Doc Louis. Little Mac is also seen in his trademark pink jumpsuit from the original NES classic.

Nintendo also released a couple trailers that show off the hardware and software of the DSi. Check them out here.

Included in Nintendo's 2009 Game Developer's Conference press kit were two DSi B-Rolls. B-Rolls are given out to press so that portions of them can be edited in to video productions.

That said, we thought we might as well present them to everyone in their entirety. The first features lustful pans of the hardware itself. The second includes shots of people enjoying DSi software. Enjoy!

We give you a guided tour of the newest addition to the Wii's featureset, the SD Card Menu.

Today at GDC 2009, Nintendo of America's Bill Trinen introduced the Wii SD Card Menu. This menu appears after applying the latest Wii firmware update (available now), and appears as an icon in the bottom-left of the screen right next to the Wii button.

This new menu allows you to load games directly from the SD Card, instead of having to constantly copy them over to the Wii's system memory and then run them from there. In addition to this frequently-requested functionality, the Wii can now handle SDHC cards up to at least 32GB in size (whether it can handle cards larger than 32GB has not been confirmed nor denied). It also expands the number of SD Card pages to 20, with 12 channel slots available on each page.
