No they have :)) according to Nintendo's Japanese web site, which I would trust more than CVG, the DSi will be region locked for downloadable content only, it remains to be seen whether they will mess with the browser.


Of course, you can bet that within a month, there will be a custom firmware to fix this along with any attempts Nin have made to block flashcards and homebrew.

So, is it just me that's exited about the new Castlevania to hit the DS?


Also, you know the worst thing about the DSi? You can bet your arse that a week before Christmas there will be Pokemon/Gundam/Harvest Moon/Final Fantasy/Hello Kitty skinned versions of it on sale, leaving everyone kicking themselves for buying/importing/begging relatives for the boring as hell coloured launch version..I saw a few places in Akihabara where you can have your DS custom-skinned with your images of choice, or if you pay extra for someone (mostly women) to paint your DS for you. The prices were from the equivalent of ?50 up to ?300!

Hmmm, there is a film being released stateside this month, starring Marky Mark Wahlberg, in the eponymously titled adaptation of the modern classic game - Max Payne.


From the trailer it looks possibly the greatest film ever, or possibly the worst - with the scales tipping slightly towards the latter. Look out for a brief cameo by Marlo Stansfield from The Wire.


Bloody hell though, that were a great computer game!

Sounds good, apart from the risible shop keeper attacking Wahlberg.


I notice that Clock Tower, which as already had a Japanese movie based on it, is getting remade for the Western market.


If you are into gaming movies (I've never been a fan, personally) do check out Sairen http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494815/

I have never played the series, though Consolevania raved about it, but this is one hell of a movie, not sure if it ever got translated.


I see that Tron is getting a sequel, should be interesting / or quite possibly absolutely tragic!


Ever see "Reign over me" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0490204/ ? I expected the worst, and only saw it as I read somewhere they used Shadow of the Colossus (never played that either, but know of its dev history) as a plot device, and had a right fight with the money because of the way it looked so low-rez on film, and was blown away by how good it was, and I only ever watch American movies made after '79 when the wife blackmails me into it.

Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet:

Think there was something similar at the MOMI some time ago.


Also, anyone else heard the recent Final Fantasy remix album, including some tracks by The Black Mages to boot

Also, here's some Metroid Metal for those old school freaks out there..

For what it was, I thought Doom was pretty decent :))


Good to see you back in teh Gaming room btw Keef!


Also, here is a youtube vid, essentially a compilation of shorts that have been available via Nins Japanese site:

But with the worlds economies all down the shitter, it will be interesting to see the difference between sales vs tracker stats :))

Well, last post from me here for a good while, working on the blog now, and by the lack of interest in my posts, have bored you lot to death anyhow, I'm sure.


Couldn't go without one last bit of news, a remake of R-Type I and II (but no Leo? for shame!) which has just been shown at the Tokyo Games Show http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/21983


Goodnight! :)-D

My laptop wont play Games at the moment after a virus attack. After Windows reinstall my ATI Radeon x300 drivers will not install properly. I've updated them and even tried to fix them using a Mobile Modder but to no avail...anyone out there have any ideas? :(

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
