Nintendo = Criminals?
February 2, 2009 by dan
“It’s the kind of thing that could only happen in Japan. A Kanagawa man is currently wanted on suspicion of a hit and run and posters featuring his likeness have been issued by police. However, rather than your typical artist’s rendition of the villain, he has instead been represented by one of Nintendo’s Mii characters.

Quite why police are using a Mii instead of the typical drawing, I don’t know. However, the only plausible explanation is that the suspect was, indeed, a real-life Mii. So, if you spot any suspicious looking Miis in or around the Kanagawa area, be sure to let local authorities know.”

Flurry of new music in your pants (and lots of DS music software)
May 28, 2008 by jef
Holy crazy coders! I’ve seen 3 DS homebrew music apps in just the last week. What is going on? This “cellular automation” app, Glitch DS, seems the wackiest, but the Protein DS app blows my mind for awesomely simple and therefore beautiful UI. Anything with dots rules.

Glitch DS:

Protein DS (i think the person is filming under a waterfall):

Protein DS home
Glitch DS project home
Bliptracker DS Drum Machine
GrooveStep (posted before but still rad)
DS hardware sequencer w/ all the steps needed for MIDI
DStep DS sequencer (the software used in the above link)
Monome DS (hey! and save $400)
KORG DS-10 (will be released worldwide. hoorah!)

There is something cute about having to load the software from the card and then take the card out to insert your MIDI interface. It reminds me of having to boot from floppys.

Japanese Casual Game Lovin
April 7, 2008 by robert
Ran across a couple interesting games while putting together a deck on casual gaming. The first is You Are Lucky:

it’s all in Japanese, but surprisingly easy to follow.

Also, Makibishi Comic ,

which is similar to Samorost in it’s visual point and click style.

Super Pii Pii Brothers at Think Geek.

FYI: THIS IS AN APRIL FOOL’S JOKE!

But at least not a rickroll. Anywho once you click the buy link it comes up with the prank message. Believe you me it’s not a far-fetched game idea and I’m not ashamed in the slightest to say i’d buy 20 copies in a heartbeat. The video is awesome, go checkit!

A pretty good read comparing games on iPhone with DS, PSP and other consoles:

iPhone 2.0 SDK: Video Games to Rival Nintendo DS, Sony PSP

It reveals all the juicy bits on the technical specs of the handhelds and compares strategies with a smattering of history.
