Looks like the PSPgo is living up to it’s name in Japan, where it’s go go go. Sony’s has moved more than 28,000 units on its first day on sale in Japan. The launch was supported with retail and download titles Persona 3 Portable and Dissidia Final Fantasy Universal Tuning, as well as download-only titles Disgaea Infinite and LocoRoco Midnight Carnival.

For comparison, the PSP-3000 sold over 140,000 units in October within a 4-day window, while the Nintendo DSi sold 170,000 in two days time.

Zodttd is a developer working on a N64 emulator for the iPhone 3GS. Will it have the power? Possibly, thanks to CPU, GPU and OpenGL ES 2.0 support that will deliver smooth N64 emulation. But don’t get too excited.

Some high-end N64 titles might not be available due to the lack of power. The other issue would be the control scheme. Some of us hated the N64’s controller and found the games hard enough to play originally. The iPhone won’t be any better.

You thought the inflatable horse peripheral was a bad idea. That was before your kid could get a whole baby to use with their Wii. Every time I think that we have seen the height of weirdness in Wii-land, they drop something even weirder on us.

Bundled with the upcoming Wii game Baby and Me (in Australia), this doll-mote uses the Wiimote’s speaker to make the baby cry or laugh. You can even use the Wii Balance Board, which allows you to burp the baby, rock the baby and teach “her” to walk. (Which she will never learn because she’s just a doll with a Wiimote crammed in her insides.)

We’ve been seeing a lot of hype about Nyko’s optical Zoom Case for the Nintendo DSi around the blogosphere over the last few days. What gives guys? The ‘Brick covered this one back in June. I guess the release of the larger DSi has them all freaked out.

We still aren’t sure who would want an 8x optical zoom for their DSi, but hey, at $25 it allows your handheld to get all “mine’s bigger than yours”.

Looks like that extra-large DSi LL, unveiled in Japan this morning will be coming to North America and Europe in the first quarter of 2010. It will be known as the Nintendo DSi XL in North America and Europe, which is fitting given all of the XL sized Americans who will be buying it.

This new DSi offers a screen 93% larger than the current Nintendo DS Lite with a better view angle, a longer touch screen stylus, and preinstalled Nintendo DSiWare™ software. The new version will arrive in North America and Europe in the first quarter of 2010.

That was certainly quick wasn’t it? Just a few days after we heard word from Japan’s Nikkei newspaper that Nintendo was planning a new version of the DSi with a larger 4″ screen, Nintendo has gone and announced it. For Japan. Because as you know from the Black Wii situation, Americans come last as far as the big N is concerned.

This version of the DSi is called the Nintendo DSi LL and will be released in Japan on November 21 for ¥20,000 ($221).

It’s not rocket science. First it was Microsoft’s Xbox 360, then the PlayStation 3. Now Netflix’s “Watch Instantly” is coming to Nintendo’s Wii. At least that’s what the word is, according to StreamingMedia, who has an undisclosed source that has confirmed that Nintendo is currently testing Netflix streaming on the Wii. And that it will be available “very soon.”

Hopefully that means before the holidays, but it could mean anything. If you have a Wii, you are used to waiting anyway. Waiting for better games, waiting for a better storage option, waiting for something better than 480p…

Back in May we told you about the augmented reality game for the DSi, Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal. The Ghostwire title had been previously unveiled, but Majesco has just signed on to publish it.

The game uses the DSi’s camera and microphone to allow you to hunt ghosts like those schmucks on TV. Once the ghost or ghosts are detected, it’s the player job to hunt down objects to make them rest in peace.

That black Nintendo Wii bundle that we in the US are not getting is hitting Europe on November 6th has shown up on Amazon UK.

The price is £179.99 but Amazon has it for £164.99, which is about $269. Adding to the mystery of this whole Black Wii saga, the identical bundle in white doesn’t have that £15 discount, but Amazon is sweetening the deal with your choice of two free titles, including FIFA10. There’s still the £142.99 white, non-bundled Wii of course. for a lot less.

It’s only been a year since the original DSi launched, and here we are talking about a new one. According to Nikkei there’s a new DSi coming very soon with a 4-inch screen, that would have the same price as the current one.

The larger model DSi will only be seen in Japan later this year and it’s aimed at an older demographic who wants a slightly bigger screen. You know the folks with big buttons on their phones and hearing aids.

Word on the street is that the Nintendo DSi may be getting a voice chat channel very soon. Nintendo has denied the rumor, but what would you expect? This is the company that offered up Wii Speak for the Wii.

Chatting on a DSi makes more sense. This sentence is what started the rumor:

To redeem a Nintendo DSi Download Ticket number, such as for the Nintendo DSi Speak Channel, enter the number off the Nintendo DSi Download Ticket in “Settings and Features” off of the main Nintendo DSi Shop page, then select “Nintendo DSi Download Ticket.

Now and then we find ourselves covering lighters. Maybe because they have an unusual shape, feature video game characters or in this case because they are in the form of a Sega Mega Drive and a Sega Saturn.

Through November 6, retailer Net-You is taking pre-orders on these beautiful Sega Hard Memorial Zippo Lighters made by Banpresto for about $115 each through November 6th. They ship in December.

What’s the deal Nintendo? Americans deserve a black Wii as much as the next country. Who kept your console in demand and out of stock all these years? We’ve killed countless HDTVs with our Wiimotes. It makes kids do this. Why Nintendo? Why?

Do people in the UK and Ireland really need a dark Wii on November 6th? As part of a limited edition bundle no less. that includes Wii Sports Resort and a Wii MotionPlus dongle. The rest of Europe will get the bundle on November 20th. Plus they get a black Classic Controller Pro and other black Wii accessories.

Say hello to my little friend. Pow, pow, pow, pow. We all know that there are ten million Wii controller accessories, but this one means business. This is a 1:1 scale Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine gun for the Wii.

Instead of using Nintendo’s own controllers for the gun, the that made it implemented full Wiimote, nunchuck and MotionPlus functionality into it. Plus it has a built-in rechargeable battery that charges via USB and a built-in speaker. It will also rumble when you get hit in supported games.

Right when Nintendo finally puts some black on your Wiimote, Nyko is dropping four new candy colors for its Wand Wii remote.

Looks like Nyko is following Nintendo closely, offering the same blue and pink color choices that Nintendo is offering in Japan. There’s also black and purple. They should be available now for $29.99.
