Via Kotaku:
But with the Nintendo DS posting record sales in America during 2009, the exec said this was not the time to discuss when this successor will hit the market.

I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore gamer — I don't play Halo or Gears of War, or any of the sports titles — but I do occasionally get sucked in by well-crafted games. Here are my favorites of 2009.
Batman: Arkham Asylum
It deserves all of the awards being heaped upon it ...

Kotaku has an interesting look at a young stay-at-home mother who obsessively collects achievement points in Xbox games.
I feel bad for her husband, but far worse for her kid.

Four months after moving, and I still haven't even turned the thing on. Finally, Nintendo gives me two good reasons to keep the Wii around.
Super Mario Bros. Wii (multiplayer side-scrolling!)

The former coming out in time for the holiday season, and the latter coming sometime in 2010.

Excellent article from Marcus Zarra at Cocoa is My Girlfriend:
No one is going to pay you for adding code to your software that is targeted at pirates. However you have a good chance of losing money if your customers get caught in your anti-piracy code and can’t use their software ...

Nintendo DSi, because the lack of a camera was killing the DS
The world demanded more Punch-Out
Re-releasing GameCube games to confuse people
Saving games to the SD slot almost solves a problem
The larger screen on the DSi might be nice. ...

That's the rumor, anyway.
As you can tell by the name, it'll get Nintendo back in the graphics saddle by opting for HD visuals. There'll be a "greater emphasis" on digital delivery and backwards compatability. There'll again be an emphasis on the system's controller, rather than the system itself. And it'll ...

Autonomous Productions is working on a WiiWare disc golf game, and they seem pretty committed to making it authentic. From an interview with 1000 Rated:
SHAYNE: MotionPlus has changed what we can do. Unfortunately, the Wiimote doesn’t currently have a gyroscope sensor built in; only an accelerometer. MotionPlus actually adds the gyrometer. ...
