Rememmber my other news thread? Well this is the new one.
Various sites have been rumoring that apple may buy Nintendo. An interesting user says:
"Between howling at the moon, these looneys point to the similar corporate philosophies of Apple and Nintendo (bull-headed determination in the face of defeat); the similar consumer perception of the companies (both have followings whose brand dedication verges on the religiously devout); the similar design styles (the Nintendo DS Lite practically looks like Jonathan Ive built it); and the complementary market spaces (Apple wants games, Nintendo wants style). But somewhere in the looney's mind, is there a scintilla of logic? A tiny fragment of truth spluttering for breath in the soup of madness? Could Apple actually buy Nintendo, and more importantly, why would it want to?"
PSP
Theres always something going on with the PSP, never expect a dull moment. The news that i'm about to give you will blow you 1.50 fishes away! Want to play 2.50 UMDs, and an official 2.50 browser on your 1.50 PSP?! Well you can now with the Devhook 0.40! Go here for a download and instructions.
Also on my previous addtion of news you may have heard a lot from the modchip (Undiluted Platinum) that could unbrick and lower firmwares of PSPs, well now you can get a premodded Ceramic Whit PSP at the famous ModchipStore.com. In other news a man has stolen 60 UMDs at Blockbusters, with the help of his pants! The value of the games is estimated at $1,800.
Nindendo DS/Lite
You may have heard because of the delay for the DS Lite in Euroupe, Europieans will now get an exclusive Black and Pure white on launch. But other news tells a different story, claiming that DS Lite may be released in the USA, here are words from a Nintendo reps mouth:
"We most definitely understand your desire to see the Nintendo DS Lite system released in Black in North America. While I was not personally involved in the resdesign of the Nintendo DS Lite, I can tell you that it is likely that aesthetics were taken into consideration. At this point, there are no changes to the color that will be available when the system is released. We may release additional colors at a later time, and it may be that one of the colors will be Black. Only time will tell. Your enthusiasm and support is appreciated, and your e-mail will be forwarded along for further review."
So sadly the U.K may have to share Black with the USA...
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, is shaping up to be a giant title for the DS, with cell-shadded graphics from Wind Waker on GameCube. This will be a sequal for The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (confirmed).
Nintendo WII
Very very sad news, President Satoru Iwata stated that the ship date announcement would be this September, meaning Zelda: TP will not even be released by then; because it was said that Zelda and WII will be released together. Don't get your hope up, but theres rumours going around saying, Nintendo will release an Instant Messaging service for the WII. A Nintendo rep clued to that.
Wii is confirmed to connect to the Nintendo DS, according to the latest N-Sider, who say the latest issue of Famitstu, has some details from Nintendo President Satoru Iwata about Wii to DS connectivity, and talks about the first title that will use those features as well. Iwata explained the ways in which Wii and Nintendo DS will communicate with each other. In addition to DS demos provided over WiiConnect24, DS will work with Wii similarly to how Game Boy Advance worked with Nintendo GameCube — as "extra controllers" for specifically-designed games.
As known before, Nintendo said there will be Nintendo games for download, e.g. Snes, Nes, GB, GBA and N64 but no DS. Well Nintendo have now released there price point for it, it will be at ¥500 and ¥1,000 ($4.50 and $8.99 USD). Also bestbuy.com have WII titles up for pre-order, check it out yourself!
In a very unlikly rumour, "Nintendo Will Release Official SD Memory Cards"; according to a site who heard it from a site, who heard it from another site...According to the buzz, an upcoming issue of Game Informer has been leaked and that issue reportedly contains details about the Wii. One of the so-called details that was filtered out says Nintendo will release an official SD memory cards (2GB to 7GB).
I havent got any worthy news for PS3 or Xbox 360, so i'll just skip onto, these interesting sales numbers!:
1. Playstation 2: 232,000 (+12.1%)
2. Sony PSP: 159,659 (-17.1%)
3. Nintendo DS: 145,930 (+5.4%)
4. Xbox 360: 221,000 (-25%)
5. GameCube: 33,000 (-13.2%)
6. Xbox One: 26,000 (-33.3%)
These numbers are from the USA, for May. PS2 tops all. Don't think PSP topped DS, those little numbers are for small shop leaks. Handhelds are still dishonorably defeating Xbox 360! My appologies for no Xbox 360 or PS3 news.
Update: Sales numbers for Japan in 5 June to 11 June:
- DS Lite: 132,027 3,587 (2,65%)
