Nintendo DS Will Continue Printing Money

If you were sitting on the edge considering buying either a Nintendo Wii or DS and that final price cut would have sent you plummeting into the world of cutesy half-assed mini-games, well....stop waiting. There will be no price cut.

President Satoru Iwata says "Our earnings projection for the year is not based on hardware price cuts, and I don't think we are going to need them,"

Thanks Mr. Iwata, we really appreciate not being able to save money on your gaming peripherals.

Japan Gets Wii-Ware

Last week in the Western world, Wii owners could install an update that would prepare the Wii for the upcoming (prospectively May released) Wii-Ware. Now Japan just got their WiiWare all fresh and ready for debut along with 9 games to start off with.

* Okiraku Ping Pong Wii (500 Wii Points)
* Kotoba no Puzzle Mojipittan Wii (1,000 Wii Points)
* Saku Saku Animal Panic (1,000 Wii Points)
* Star Solider R (800 Wii Points)
* Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (1,500 Wii Points)
* Tenshi Solitaire (500 Wii Points)
* Dr. Mario & Saikin Bokumetsu (1,000 Wii Points)
* Minna no Pokemon Bokujou (1,000 Wii Points)
* Lonpos (1,000 Wii Points)

Not much is really known about Wii-Ware, except that it may be used for original game titles and indie developers to market games through. A lot like Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network.

Most likely US and Europe will be getting different games than Japan, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Final Fantasy one come overseas to us.
