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? :(

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
