With the recent release of the Nintendo DSi™, Subsonic is intending to allow its users to really benefit from the new multimedia abilities offered by the new portable Nintendo console.
So, the SCREEN PROTECTION & CLEANING KIT offers 2 screen protections for the DSi™ with a microfiber wipe and applicator for simple and efficient use, a mini screen cleaner with elastic strap for attaching it to the console, and an indispensable new release for the DSi™ – a protective lens for the console’s exterior camera.
Gamasutra sources say that a game must reach a certain amount of sales before developers can receive pay (“a minimum sales threshold”).
– Per-territory basis
– Mid-four figure range for North America
– Lower-four figure range for European territories
– No pay until a title reaches specified numbers
– Developers have allegedly confirmed the news
– A small independent studio doesn’t believe they will ever reach the sales needed to receive pay
– Nintendo’s response: “Due to the nature of the story, Nintendo is putting forth this response: ‘We do not discuss our internal business dealings.'”
Consider this a rumor for now as there is no real confirmation at this point, but this news does seem likely.
A rumor popped up a few weeks ago that Nintendo’s upcoming Wii MotionPlus peripheral would come with a forced glove. Unlike the Wii controller itself, MotionPlus would ship with a tacked on sleeve and owners would be unable to remove it.
The Nintendo of Europe press release highlights images of Wii MotionPlus and, as you can see below, it looks as though the add-on will unfortunately arrive with the forced protection.

Konami and Hudson Soft reveal all-new cop partnership for Nintendo DS: Law and Starling
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced it will release MIAMI CRISIS, a new action-adventure title for Nintendo DS created and published by Hudson Soft, in September.A mix of crime-scene detection and action elements, MIAMI CRISIS offers the player to guide one of two characters – Martin Law from the Miami PD or FBI Agent Sara Starling – as they are charged with solving a series of linked crimes in the US city. Law is an intense officer who will use any means necessary to make a bust, while Sterling is an intelligent agent with an eye for detail, and both will face different challenges as the game unfolds.
Playing as Martin Law, players will experience a more action-orientated game, wherein the Miami PD officer becomes embroiled in the hard-edged side of law enforcement, with MIAMI CRISIS throwing up car chases, intense shoot-outs and face-offs. Alternatively, playing as Starling presents a more puzzle-solving side to the game, with the FBI agent using forensics and detailed examination techniques to search for clues. Both are working to uncover a shadowy terrorist conspiracy, but their successes and failures along the way will have an ongoing effect on the plot.
