Sega collaborates with Japanese newspaper on new Nintendo DS title
I’m suffering from a huge amount of Japanese-envy at the moment, with my best friend arriving home from Tokyo after four months away, an extra suitcase stuffed to the brim with Hello Kitty, Studio Ghibli and other assorted goodies. Someone get me over there, fast!
My latest reason for envying everything Japan has to offer comes courtesy of WiiWii, who have reported that a new DS title will be available over there, full of major Japanese events from the last 135 years….

WiiWii review the Japanese Nintendo DS game Otona No DS Kao Training (Face Training)
Hello, cute WiiWii freelancer! It’s hard working at Shiny Media sometimes when we have so many freelancers spread throughout the country, often we have no idea what they look like. Until now, thanks to Chris’s recent review of the new DS game Face Training, which comes with an external camera, allowing THE WHOLE WORLD to view Chris’s bespeckled charm. Sigh.
Otona No DS Kao Training, or Face Training, if you will, was released earlier this month in Japan, but the lucky WiiWii-er managed to snag a copy for review purposes.

Hack allows Nintendo DS games to be played on the Sony PSP
Modders have been lifting their game recently – the past week has shown a NES emulator on the iPhone, a 360 mod which allowed the Wiimote to be used when playing Halo 2, and of course the Optimus Prime Transformers PC case mod which pleased me to the point of almost commissioning someone to create one for me. Oh, ok, a Megatron PC case mod, but still….
Viva Piñata to start growing Piñatas in Nintendo DS's gardens
Viva Piñata is definitely one of those sandbox/life-sim games that our fellow Tech Digest editor Stuart refers to as AIQBNWWIEs, or ‘actually-i’m-quite-bored-now-when-will-it-end’ games. Not really suited to the Xbox 360’s stationary existence, the fact that it’s taken Microsoft and Rare this long to approach Nintendo about placing it on the DS platform is quite surprising…

DS games are "fantastic" says, er, Sony VP
First we had last week’s Bill Gates / Steve Jobs love-in, and now Sony is praising its arch-rival Nintendo. If this spirit of love and togetherness continues, maybe the consumer electronics firms will sort out the Blu-ray / HD DVD confusion. Okay, maybe not.
What devices can play iTunes Plus downloads?
So, Apple launched its iTunes Plus DRM-free downloads yesterday, and the company is already catching flak for embedding users’ names and email addresses in the files they download. The big idea is that you’ll be able to play the files on devices other than iPods. So what do they work on?
