Here’s an incredibly interesting bit of reading for you: A company called Danger, Inc. once took their prototype for a T-Mobile Sidekick (also known as the “hiptop”), merged it with a Game Boy Advance chipset, created an online “app store” of sorts to purchase digital Game Boy Advance game copies, and sent it off to Nintendo for them to take a look at. Nintendo’s response? Read it below, as it’s worth hearing it through the first-hand account:
Zen Studios has announced “Super League Football” for Zen Pinball 2, a new table featuring clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool FC, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid C.F., A.C. Milan, Juventus Football Club, and A.S. Roma.
Below is the content’s official overview:
When players download Super League Football, they will select the club they wish to support. Their table will be themed in brilliant style, including images of the clubs biggest stars, team mascots, chants and theme songs. As games are completed, scores will tally to each club’s global leaderboard, providing an overall rank for each club in the league on a global scale on each platform. As you lead your team through league play, you will earn trophies and accolades which will be placed in their own trophy room.
Zen Studios’ official announcement didn’t include Wii U, but the company has since confirmed support for the platform. The game’s official website has it right.

Thanks to joclo for the tip.
Nintendo has ruled out speculation that it will be bringing “mini-games” (also categorized as demos) to smartphone devices.
Nikkei published a report yesterday indicating that Nintendo would be increasing its presence on mobile hardware. Mini-games and an increase in advertising were mentioned as two prominent ways in which the company would be pushing its products on smartphones and tablets in the future.
A new statement from Nintendo, however, indicates otherwise. It flat-out says, “we can confirm that there are no plans to offer mini-games on smartphone devices.”
You can find the statement in full after the break.
Shin Megami Tensei IV is currently on sale on the 3DS eShop for $30. But if you prefer buying games at retail, Amazon has the RPG available for $35
($34.50, to be exact). Given the original $50 price tag, that’s a pretty good deal!
