Nintendo is continuing to take action in the piracy scene. Their latest step towards prevention involves a DSi firmware update. Homebrew users in Europe and Japan might be better off holding back on upgrading, as the new firmware will not allow flash cards to be used. Members over at GBAtemp are reporting that those with the latest firmware will be unable to load the AK2I, iPlayer, EZVi, and perhaps even more such as the M3Ri. It should be noted that Nintendo has previously taken similar measures with the DSi in an effort to end piracy, but it didn’t take much time before alternatives were discovered. For the moment though, it looks as though Nintendo has stumped homebrew developers.

During the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, the Japanese economy continued to face uncertain prospects for recovery. Corporate business performance and the employment outlook in Japan worsened, and weak personal consumption persisted, due to the global economic recession that has grown more acute since last year.


Today we are pleased to announce that the official site for Ace Attorney INVESTIGATIONS ™ : Miles Edgeworth is up and going at http://ace-attorney.com.

Ace Attorney fans can get the latest info about the game here as well as new screens and artwork.

We had an incredible time at Comic Con 2009. Fans were extremely excited to get their hands on the game. Producer Motohide Eshiro was on location, meeting fans and signing autographs.

Ace Attorney INVESTIGATIONS ™: Miles Edgeworth, will hit the U.S on February 16, 2010 for the Nintendo DS. This time around, the player takes on the role of famed prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, a memorable rival of charismatic legal eagle Phoenix Wright. Edgeworth actively investigates crime scenes in order to pursue the truth behind each case. By solving the challenging puzzles presented to him, Edgeworth will work with the police to bring criminals to justice.
