Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has reassured the firm's shareholders that it will not experience production difficulties with the immensely successful DS Lite handheld due to the impending launch of the Wii home console.
Addressing a shareholder meeting in Japan last week, Iwata explained that the Wii is being manufactured using entirely separate production facilities to the DS Lite, so ramping up the supply of the home system won't affect DS supplies.
It may seem slightly self-evident that this would be the case, but it's not surprising that Iwata wants to reassure shareholders and retailers alike of this situation; after all, the DS has witnessed ongoing short supply in Japan ever since Christmas, with over 100,000 units of the console being sold there every week.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
Modders have cooked up something pretty special – a Wii console which is small enough to fit on your keys. A wee Wii.
