"Ninty News - August"

We'll start with the new XNA technology that Microsoft has unvieled as the new way in creating games. However, Nintendo and Sony were not impressed, and recent critisism of the technology made the men behind Microsoft fume. Microsoft feel this technology will promote original ideas in games, but Ninty think otherwise.

In the States, GBA TV carts have been produced that play episodes of popular kids TV programmes, such as Pokemon and Sponge Bob. These new carts could be the answer to the PSPs TV/DVD capabilities. A UK release of the carts is due for Christmas.

EGM magazine has confirmed a few DS titles from some major developers. Sega have annonuced a Super Monkey Ball game, Konami will do Castlevania and Silent Hill, and Sonic Team have confirmed Chu-Chu Rocket.

SNK have confirmed a UK release for Metal Slug Advance, and with the game appearing on XBOX, Ninty have done well to get the game into Europe and should be a popular title.

The new Wario Inc. Mega Party Games title for GC is now hitting the shops thsi month for a bargain 20 quid. So now us Brits can save plenty of money of one the best multiplayer games on GC to date.

And finally, Ninty have confirmed that the GBA 2 will now go into development. Details are thin, but we do know it will hae wireless link-up and online capabilities. And after the announcments of the DS and Revolution, it looks like Ninty will have a strong line-up for next generation consoles. But are Nintendo wise to release the DS and GBA 2?

All in all, a pretty good month for Ninty. We now know that the DS should have some pretty kick ass games, and with the likes of Metal Slug on the way, we've got handheld gaming going through our ears this month.

lol thanx..

There's an edit post button, now, Mattitude.

*note why

Nope, GBA 2 and DS are totally different projects, not why the DS isnt called Gameboy DS, but Nintendo DS. Also i already have 4 of those GBA videos... Sonic X (1), Spongebob (1) & (2), Pokemon (1)

I though the DS was the GBA2!!
