Sure, I would have thought Spiderman alone would make up for any other lose's in their movie divisions.

Can't... Stop... Etrian... Odyssey... Life... Fading... Need... Help...

Tonight just utterly vanished as I powered up my Ronin and I literally had to save and close the thing against my will. I might just as well sell the PS3 and Wii because at the moment *nothing* is getting a look in on my DS gaming. I even fired up my old copy of Castlevania DS tonight and got completely sucked in again. I dare not touch anything else. I'm now starting to believe this is the best console of all time. And Zelda coming shortly and maybe Contra, jesus wept.

Sega Darts is also superb. I'm holding the stylus Bristow-style. I really do need professional help.

GeeZa: I feel your pain.

B23F now. Last three weeks of life disappeared. But characters at Level 59 and end in sight.

Deleted game from my r4 card and my PC at least 8 times, but nothing works. It always forces me to download it again. The only solution is to delete the save game! Just one more go first, though...

Shorter, original, more creative games from small teams with big ideas; these are the buzzwords that you'll be hearing from Nintendo when its Wednesday announcement goes wide.

That sounds good at least

Also hoping for some solid details on Disaster.
And whatever taletale are developing for the Wii, a Sam and Max port probably.

Official press release wrote:NINTENDO'S WIIWARE PAVES THE WAY FOR FRESH GAMES, COOL CONSUMER EXPERIENCES

Nintendo Sets a New Paradigm: One Game Can Still Make a Difference

SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 27, 2007 â€“ The search for the next ingeniously ground-breaking video game has begun. At a private developers conference this week, Nintendo announced the introduction of WiiWareâ„¢, a game-creation service that will allow developers large and small to create new downloadable video game content for sale by Nintendo through the Wii Shop Channel of the hot Wiiâ„¢ home video game system. WiiWare paves the way for smaller, more creative games to make their way to the public at lower prices, without any inventory risk to developers. The first WiiWare content will launch in early 2008.

"Independent developers armed with small budgets and big ideas will be able to get their original games into the marketplace to see if we can find the next smash hit," says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "WiiWare brings new levels of creativity and value to the ever-growing population of Wii owners."

The possibilities for WiiWare are limited only by the imaginations of developers. WiiWare provides game creators a simple method by which they can get their games to the public. This approach, combined with the remarkable motion controls of the Wii Remoteâ„¢ and Nunchukâ„¢, will give birth to fresh takes on established genres, as well as original ideas that currently exist only in developers' minds. The reduced barriers to development provide developers the freedom to create and an inexpensive, clearly defined path to reach consumers who will ultimately determine which game will become the Next Big Thing.

WiiWare will be posted on the Wii Shop Channel. As with current Wii Shop Channel offerings, users will redeem Wii Pointsâ„¢ to download content. It will support a variety of pricing options. Details about that and upcoming projects will be announced at a later date. For more information about Wii, visit Wii.com.

The worldwide innovator in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and markets hardware and software for its Wiiâ„¢, Nintendo DSâ„¢, Game BoyÂ® Advance and Nintendo GameCubeâ„¢ systems. Since 1983, Nintendo has sold nearly 2.4 billion video games and more than 409 million hardware units globally, and has created industry icons like Marioâ„¢, Donkey KongÂ®, MetroidÂ®, Zeldaâ„¢ and PokÃ©monÂ®. A wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for Nintendo's operations in the Western Hemisphere.

Excellent. All we need now is a GUI update with extra features and the possibility to use SD cards + HDD as storage.
