I believe this match is a real possibility, because in a recent interview on the UFC website with Joe Stevenson, Joe said that they are looking at giving him a rematch against an opponent he lost to early in his career. Jens Pulver fits that description, having handed Joe his first loss by knockout at […]

Nintendo likes to be a little
difficult on us from time to time, but we’re stoked that after they decided to
renege and went through with it anyhow — though honestly, knowing Nintendo, it was an inevitability given their (and
everyone else’s) penchant for redesigning their consoles to drive sales. Anywho, their new Nintendo DS Lite skimps on
the size and weight by shaving off 1/3rd of the bulk and 20-percent of the weight, and will apparently be released in
Japan on March 2nd for ¥16,800 (about $145). It’s important to remember, however, that the DS Lite we see here may
not be the device that you actually buy, being that these are still considered to be design mock-ups. See ya soon, DS
Lite, can’t wait!
Japanese release date: March 2, 2006
Weight: 218g (compare to 275g for the current
Nintendo DS)
Dimensions: 133mm x 73.9mm x 21.5mm

I am visiting Microsoft HQ in Redmond this week for their SearchChamps event. Attendance requires the signing of an nondisclosure agreement, and most of what is discussed is non-bloggable. However, the trade off is that we see stuff that is still being developed in the labs (some of it isn’t even at the demo-stage yet). […]

Nintendo just emailed us the following announcement of the redesign of the Nintendo DS (dual screen) handheld.
"Nintendo President Satoru Iwata today announced Nintendo DS Lite, a slimmer version of the best-selling
Nintendo DS™. Also featuring brighter screens, Nintendo DS Lite will launch in Japan in March. Nintendo DS Lite
will be less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter.
Nintendo DS has enjoyed extremely strong sales in Japan and around the world, selling more than 14.4 million
units worldwide. The Japanese sell-through of the existing Nintendo DS hardware exceeded 5 million within 13 months,
which made Nintendo DS the fastest-selling video game system there.
Nintendo will announce more information about the availability of Nintendo DS Lite in North America and other
territories in the future."
Additional details can be found on Nintendo’s Japanese
site.

Stephen Totilo looks a little deeper into the motivations of the game enthusiasts who write hundreds of pages of
detailed walkthroughs for peanuts. What inspires these young men to dedicate hours upon hours of time detailing every
nook and hidden item in games ranging from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to the most retro 8-bit Nintendo
title?
