What is this crap?  Like Deguello I question the durability and functionality of such a screen (the sensitivity of the section of screen that sits on the "crease," for example, in whether there is dead space or not), though I would have to experience it in person to really judge the product.

But never fear, as I guarantee we will take what we have learned from the DS (including our mistakes) and apply it to our next handheld, no matter what direction we choose to take.  I recommend taking my word for it. :reggie:

I love you! There I said it!

I can't begin to imagine what Nintendo has in store for their next hand held or home console. But I'm glad to read Reggie himself (it is him right? wonder if he can take a hammer fist better than me?) acknowledge that they will learn from their mistakes when making their new machines. Not that I think there were many mistakes, except for the first DS being ugly.
Nintendo players and One Piece readers, just better people.

I highly doubt it, it's just someone who can do a pretty good impression of him. I'm pretty sure it is the alt account of someone else here.

Frosty the Snowman VS. Jack Frost locked in an eternal martial arts duel over who controls Winter. That should be the theme.

If 'killer is Frosty the Snowman and can use his arm (which is made from a branch) as a fighting staff to do those Kilik moves he claims he can do..

THEN **** YEAH!

"Crouching Snowman, Hidden JackFrost" I can see it now, Jack hurls a cluster of icicles and Frosty bats them all away with his 'staff arms' all while traditional Chinese string music is playing. Would be freaking amazing.

DSi to get DSi Speak?

Quote from: Siliconera
Reporting error code 206602 on the Nintendo support site results in an interesting message:

Quote
Error Code: 206602 Nintendo DSi Shop – Nintendo Points Card or Nintendo DSi Download Ticket Error



There appears to be a problem using the Nintendo Points Card or a Nintendo DSi Shop Download Ticket.

* Make sure you entering the number in the correct field in the Nintendo DSi Shop.

o For Nintendo Points Card redemption, enter the number off the Nintendo Points Card in the "Add Nintendo DSi Points" section off of the main Nintendo DSi Shop page, and select "Redeem Nintendo Points Card."

o To redeem a Nintendo DSi Download Ticket number, such as for the Nintendo DSi Speak Channel, enter the number off the Nintendo DSi Download Ticket in "Settings and Features" off of the main Nintendo DSi Shop page, then select "Nintendo DSi Download Ticket."

* After verifying you are entering the number in the correct location, retry the number again and make sure it is being entered correctly.

Voice chat via DSi confirmed?

Are we getting a new Animal Crossing DSi game to use it with? Then we will see someone like Renegade Kid make an FPS with it and afterward it fades into obscurity.

...but it sounds like this is going to have "shaders", which could conceivably make better graphics than the Wii.

Wii 2 is a portable system? Or, an even more interesting an idea: Wii2 is DS2 and it can act as both a hand-held and a TV console. I think similar ideas have been batted around in the past regarding a dual portable-console system.

God thats been my dream for the longest time. Even if it's still two seperate consoles (one home, one portable with its own games), the ability to use one to play the others games would be like a utopian age in video games in my opinion.

So in other words, what you've been dreaming of is the PS3 and PSP, with their "remote play" capabilities?  Granted, it's limited right now but it's a good start if you've into the kind of games both platforms offer.

This post was useless since i admitted as much at the end of my post...
But yeah, as you mentioned its limited now and unfortunately I don't have much interest in their game line-up. The last PSP game I heard about that I thought "man, i'd love to play that game; too bad I don't have a psp" was Maverick Hunter X...

Actually, what you mentioned was the PSP Go, which is a whole different beast from the normal PSP and PS3.

Well being disinterested in the PSP in general, i've very little knowledge on the pspGo aside from the fact its doesnt take UMD's anymore.

You can also program it to accept the Dualshock 3 as a controller, so you can play games using that (which must be rather awkward having to prop the handheld up somewhere and play while leaning close to see what's going on).
You could just get some A/V cables and play the PSP on your TV with the Dualshock.

Goldeneye coming to Wii?

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/26/rumor-animator-resume-lists-work-on-goldeneye-2010/

Quote
Shortly before being pulled from the internet's intimidating view, an animator's online resume may have let out a secret -- concerning an iconic secret agent. According to the eagle-eyed Superannuation, Craig Peck listed work on a game dubbed "GoldenEye 2010 (Wii)," created in association with British developer Eurocom.

Eurocom previously worked on the PlayStation 2 version of Activision's Quantum of Solace tie-in. Assuming "GoldenEye 2010" isn't merely a nostalgic codename, it seems the publisher could be looking to a well-regarded classic for inspiration on a new James Bond game. Alas, Hollywood can't keep up with Activision's annual aspirations.

The publisher won't divulge any of its plans this early, leaving us to wait for further information or for our time-traveling correspondent to confirm the game's existence. He's really more of a GoldenEye 2020 fan -- looking back, that really was the best of the remakes".

Since it's an Activision shooter, I can smell how it's announcement and beta screenshots and nonexistant trailers will turn out.

I was gonna post this a few days ago, but since Eurocom has made other James Bond games that no one has cared about, I didn't bother.
This just seems like another one of those games with the Goldeneye label attached to it to garner interest from nostalgia.

I'm not saying nostalgia won't bring interest, I'm saying I don't think the game is gonna be worthy of bringing back that nostalgia.
Eurocom has made several 007 games and none of them have been remembered. Why would calling this one Goldeneye suddenly change the game?

Well for three reasons:

One -- Why **** on a game we know nothing about?

Two -- This game, if even real, is called Goldeneye Wii, meaning it's exclusive. I'd say that's at least a bit interesting.

And Three -- The Conduit, the game everyone and their skank ass moms hyped up, was made by the developer who made "50 Cent: the Game."
