Square Enix – We’re not sure whether Dragon Quest IX will release in other territories

“DQIX is currently being considered for release outside of Japan. When a definitive decision is made about the release we will make an official statement.” – Square-Enix rep
I wouldn’t worry too much about it, especially with all of the rave reviews the game is getting. I’d be far more surprised if the game didn’t come than if it did.
EA says that EA Sports Active has an evenly split user base in terms of gender

“Although we focused our marketing campaign on women, EA Sports Active was designed to accommodate everyone and our consumer base reflects that.” – Monique Gomel, marketing director
I think that there’s no surprise that EA Sports Active was targeted at women. From the advertisements to the box art, every one featured a woman either playing the game or talking about it, but it doesn’t come as a surprise when you hear that userbase is split pretty evenly.
Iwata Asks – Flipnote Studio will deepen Nintendo’s relationship with the Internet
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in DS, News | 1 Comment
In a recent Iwata Asks interview, Nintendo’s President stated that Flipnote Studio will help bring to life Nintendo’s relationship with the internet.
“I think from now on the relationship between Nintendo’s game consoles and the Internet will deepen now that there’s a way for people to easily bring their ideas to life and present them to others – the same way that today they fire off emails right and left. Flipnote Studio can be a place where people share their creations with each other and offer each other applause.
I would love it if Flipnote Studio led the way for software making it possible for people to share their creativity in that way. Everyone, let’s give it our best! (laughs) Thank you for sharing your thoughts today.” -Nintendo President Satoru Iwata
A lead Nintendo developer also stated that Flipnote was originally going to be a WiiWare game before they knew anything about the DSi.
“We talked about making it into WiiWare, so if you connected to the network you could exchange notes with lots of people, not just with your friends. At the time, we didn’t know anything about the Nintendo DSi.” – Yoshiaki Koizumi, Nintendo’s EAD Tokyo

Press Release
Clearer Heart Gold/Soul Silver CoroCoro scans reveal new details
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in DS, News | 1 Comment
– You can customize the layout of the Safari Zone and send it to your friends to use, such as changing where certain Pokemon appear among other things.
– The bug catching contest will only happen on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, just like the original games.
– Apricorns can be mixed into drinks that increase your Pokemon’s Pokethlon stats. This is probably the replacement for Poffins and Pokeblocks.
– To make this “Apricorn Juice”, mix the various apricorns into an “Apricorn Shaker” and walk around. Eventually the juice will be made and usable.
– The scans mention a new “Frontier Front”, though it doesn’t go into to detail about it.
– Wi-Fi event in which you can unlock the “Yellow Forest” route on the Pokewalker to capture Pikachu is discussed.
– It is unknown if Pikachu will have any special abilities via this Wi-fi event, but artwork may suggest it will be a flying Pikachu.
– Three new Pokethlon events are revealed: Break Block, Change Relay, and Push Circle. Break Block seems to involve karate chopping brick blocks, Change Relay is another race but with only one of your Pokemon, and Push Circle seems to be another ring match in which you knock Pokemon out of a ring.
– The scan reaffirms that Kyogre can only be caught in HeartGold, while Groudon can only be caught in SoulSilver.
I must say, as time goes on I’m just more and more impressed with this game. At first I wasn’t convinced at all, but more and more information keeps arising and now I’m closer to purchasing it then ever. Just give me the ability to battle random people online and I’ll be set…
