WHAT:
Nintendo’s hotly anticipated rhythm-based music game will be put to the test as consumers and eager beat-keepers gather at an exclusive invitation-only event at New York’s Scratch DJ Academy for a night of game sampling and turntable spinning.

“We took it to Activision and Nintendo and everyone loved it. But the big problem was that although the game itself was pretty small in terms of file size, it really needed a lot of rewriteable flash memory to store all the save games. There was no cartridge available at the time for Nintendo DS that could support that save game file size the game needed…When we started working with the DSi platform it became immediately clear that it’s the perfect platform for Mixed Messages. DSiWare was the perfect service to get the game out to everyone…Since you take turns alternating writing sentences and drawing pictures, it works the best when you have an odd number of players,” he said. “If you have an even number of players, the game auto generates a really funny starter sentence from a database of nouns, verbs and phrases…We had an internal site that had dozens of game sessions posted and it was just hilarious to read – and even more fun playing it at lunch time or when were out to dinner. So it seemed like it would be great if we could share it with the world.” – Karthik Bala, CEO of Vicarious Visions

Deep in the forest there was a pretty little bakery with a bright red roof.

The name of the shop was Happy Bakery.

The baker was a pretty little girl called Rue, with such a passion for bread that even her hair looked like a fluffy bread roll! But Rue has been finding it hard to manage the shop all by herself, so recently she’s decided she needs a helping hand.

“If only there was someone who loved bread as much as me…”

“A bunch of third parties working on things. I think Square Enix has some stuff coming out.” – David Young, Assistant PR Manager at Nintendo

Square Enix hasn’t announced anything specifically for DSiWare, but it appears they’re making a push towards the service. Perhaps we’ll see some Final Fantasy titles head to the DSi Shop in the future.

GfK-ChartTrack data shows that the DSi is now the fourth fastest-selling console in the UK. The system, which launched in Europe on Friday, managed to outsell the PSP, PS3, and Xbox 360, and original DS based on weekend sales.

“It’s a very impressive opening couple of days considering the lack of launch software. It’s the fourth fastest-selling console in UK history in terms of opening weekend – one ahead of the original DS in fifth and way ahead of DS Lite. It’s difficult to tell if the momentum will continue into the week, as much of the sales would have been pre-ordered. There was also a slight spike in DS software.” – GfK-ChartTrack’s Chris Poole
