Nnooo interested in messaging/video conferencing for DSi
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
This information comes from a recent podcast…
“Well, we got a really good one we would love to do which we are calling myChat, that would basically allow users to instant message or video conference or call each other through Nintendo Wi-Fi, but unfortunately, because Nintendo DSi isn’t classified as a communication device like the telephone, it is in a real grey area, so we had that to put on hold at the moment just because Nintendo aren’t yet ready. We thought it would be really cool, but we can’t go futher with that unfortunately.” – Nic Watt, Nnooo
I could see this type of download being very successful if it ended up on DSiWare. I do hope that Nnooo can resume work on this project sometime in the future.
Thanks to NintenDaan for the news tip!

Aonuma: Twilight Princess “a starting point” for Zelda Wii
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
“With Twilight Princess, we challenged ourself to create the most vast and realistic world the series had ever seen, but we don’t feel that we were able to fully complete this objective. With that as a starting point for our improvements to the series in the future, we are of course working on a new game for Wii. For any game to be remembered for a long time, just like Ocarina of Time was, the game must give the strong impression that it has set a new starting point for future sequels to build upon. We are working to further improve upon the experiences found in Twilight Princess so that our future games can realize these innovations.” – Eiji Aonuma
It sounds like some elements from Twilight Princess will be carried over to Zelda Wii in some way, but I wouldn’t get too concerned about this quote if you’re thinking it will just be a rehash. It wasn’t too long ago that Aonuma said that the team is looking at ways to change the traditional structure that the series has been known for.
Atlus’ Photoworld heading to DSi
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Unfortunately, not much is known about this title other than the information provided by the ESRB (see below)…
Platform: Nintendo DSi
Share |Rating: Everyone
Content descriptors: No Descriptors
Rating summary:
This is an activity game in which players can use a camera to take pictures of themselves. Players can then customize the pictures with a variety of stamps, photo effects, and text boxes.
I’d imagine that this will end up on DSiWare rather than in stores, but we’ll find out for sure soon enough.
