NiGHTS sequel confirmed for Nintendo Wii

From: http://wii.ign.com/articles/777/777545p1.html:

"April 2, 2007 - SEGA of America and Europe today jointly announced NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams for Nintendo's Wii console. The game is the official sequel to the cult hit SEGA Saturn game in which players explored dream worlds and controlled a jester with the ability to fly. Journey of Dreams seems to follow the same basic premise."

I was a big fan of NiGHTS. In fact, it was the first Sega Saturn game I ever purchased. I'm really looking forward to playing the new NiGHTS game on my Nintendo Wii.

yes, i got a Nintendo Wii.

a few days ago (after Christmas but before New Years), i got a Nintendo Wii.

back in November, i stayed out all night trying to get one, and all i got was Zelda.

in December, i found a Wii-mote at the store. i then found an online retailer that i could purchase a Nunchuck addon and the "Classic" controller. this was at a time when most of that was pretty hard to get.

then in late December, using the site www.itrackr.com, i was able to locate a local Target that had the Wii in stock.

so i have a Wii, two controllers, and Zelda. the new Zelda is great, and the Virtual Console is a blast as well. i've downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog, Bonk's Adventure, Bomberman '93, Gunstar Heroes, and Castlevania IV.

Nintendo DS Web Browser demo

The Opera web browser is soon coming out for the Nintendo DS (it's already out in Japan i believe)

there is a video hosted on YouTube where someone gives a demonstration of how the browser works.

you can view it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR2yfhBSvR0

the reviewer points out some of the flaws of the browser.

the biggest is probably the load times. supposedly it takes a long time to load any site. it makes your broadband connection slower than dial up.

another issue is the lack of Flash support.

Space Cowboy Online - a new, free online game

to put it simply, Space Cowboy Online is an online jet flying game. it kinda plays similar to how StarFox played. SCO tries to play like any other online role playing game, except the twist is instead of walking around and killing stuff with swords or magic, you become engaged in dogfights with enemies in the sky or space while using machine guns, missiles, etc.

on May 25th, the SCO servers went live.

Update:
"Space Cowboy Online" became "Ace Online".
