Is it just me, or is the PAL boxart much better than the North American one?
This is what the North American boxart looks like.

This information comes from a High Voltage Software Ning account, who is a developer working on The Grinder…
“Lot of new stuff coming soon guys. New announcements, videos, screens, the whole 9 yards. Just hang tight, were busy making sure that anything you see will ‘wow’ your asses off!”
It’s been quite awhile since we last heard about The Grinder. In fact, the last time the team released a video was right around E3. I’m sure that the game has gone through a good amount of polish since then.
Thanks to Paul R for the news tip!

“Our company isn’t doing any interviews [about this]. We think it’s a speculative article.” – Nintendo statement
This is pretty much a typical Nintendo statement. I don’t see why Nikkei would have any reason to publish a fake article about a new DSi anyway. Still, we’ll see what happens over the next few days/weeks.
