dude faces prison and $96,000 fine for hosting DS ROMs

The man, one Yoshiaki Asagiri, had set up a Web site that had more than 1,000 Nintendo DS ROMs available for download, à la a site you’d find in the early days of MAME. (You’re better off getting your ROMs from Usenet, or from a “trusted” BitTorrent source, in my professional opinion.) In any event, yeah, The Man found out, and now the Kyoto District Court has ordered the 38-year-old to prison, plus a nice fine to go along with his sentence.

Nintendo Gameboy Look-alike DS-Lite Pouch Design

Jeromy — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:40:13 +0000

The pouch is made up of different colored felt appliques which are hand sewn together to give it a more realistic and 3-D feel. Made exactly of the same size as the DS-Lite, with dimensions of 4” x 6 1/2”, the pouch provides the precise room for holding the DS-Lite. Also, the pouch has enough space to house some stationary, an iPod, your glares, a small digicam and many more stuffs.

Rumor says DSi to get Gameboy, GBA downloads

Jeromy — Fri, 29 May 2009 21:53:57 +0000

As we all know, the DSi cannot play Gameboy or Gameboy Advance games, due to the fact that the cartridge slot was removed. This gives Nintendo the opportunity to look “generous” by offering old handheld games as downloadable titles on the DSiWare Store. It’s ingenous, isn’t it? Nintendo fans will lap it up, claiming that Nintendo truly cares about the “core gamer” and Reggie Fils-Aime will be carried through the streets as a king.
