- At a presentation for the BMO Capital Markets Annual Interactive Entertainment Conference in New York City on November 6th, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot professes his love for Nintendo's Wii and DS. He professes love for the PS3, 360, and PC, too. The Nintendo comments are especially interesting in light of Ubisoft's commitment to releasing casual games by the bushel for the DS.
- By now it's no secret that the oft-rumored DVD-playing Wii won't be out in time for Christmas this year. The Q&A section at Nintendo's Japanese website offers the only excuse for the delay we've seen yet. The gist of that link's slab of moonspeak is that Nintendo won't release the DVD-friendly Wii this year so they can gear production facilities toward meeting an expected Christmas rush. After the insanity that took place after the Wii shortage last year, I can't say I think Nintendo's making a bad call.
- The savvy Tech Writers at Mobile Magazine went hands-on with an awesome DS peripheral set to hit Japan soon: a TV tuner! It sounds like it has the usual problems that come with trying to watch TV on a portable game system's tiny little display, but the "note-taking" function for the bottom screen sounds interesting. It's got to turn out better than Sega's Game Gear TV Tuner, anyway. While we're on the subject, here's a nifty review of the Game Boy Advance's TV tuner accessory. I wonder if anyone ever got that thing to work with a GBA SP?
