Nintendo 3DS release details revealed

We've known about the 3DS for what seems like ages but now, finally, we have US launch details. The price for Americans is $249.99 and the release date is March 27, while Europeans will get it a few days earlier, on March 25th. European pricing, however, will be decided by retailers. It looks like £229.99 is the going rate in the UK, while the rest of Europe is looking at €249.99.
Nintendo is promising "30+" games to be available in the US during the launch window, more than 25 in Europe, with that window spanning between the actual launches in March and E3 in June. Sadly we're still in the dark regarding which games exactly will be available when the system drops in March. Many games were discussed, including Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 3D, Dead or Alive Dimensions, Rabbids 3D, Resident Evil: Revelations, a new Paper Mario, and an obligatory Madden game too. This is in addition to titles we already knew about, like Pilotwings Resort and Kid Icarus: Uprising. As for pricing, retailers are showing $40 to $50 per game.
Meanwhile, European gamers are going to be getting a taste of exclusive 3D video content from a variety of partners, most notable being EuroSport, which will be serve up depth-enabled sports footage to portable consoles. It's also told episodes of Shaun the Sheep, a new series from Wallace & Gromit creators Aardman, will be available as well. For now these deals look Europe-only, but here's to hoping American folks will get something similar.

Playing Wii on PSP

It looks like our favorite PSP Fanboy, Obiwan222222, is up to his old tricks once again, and his latest video shows that he has finally eliminated the lag problem that plagued his first attempt playing Wii on a PSP a few years ago. Using a Wii emulator on a PC, some custom firmware, and a program called PSPDisplay, he has managed to stream video and sound to his PSP Go in real time. He also mapped the Wii controls (Wiimote waving excluded) to the handheld to complete the full Wii-on-PSP gameplaying experience.
Here's a short video showing the handheld in action.

Children checking out old gadgets

The following video has been around for a few weeks, but I simply couldn't resist posting it. As you'll see, it's a video (in French,but with English subs) of children contemplating a ton of vintage gear including the Game Boy, a Colecovision cartridge, and several sizes and shapes of computer discs. Their reactions -- especially if you were alive when most or all of these gadgets were the cutting edge -- is pretty incredible.

First wireless graphics card made by Nvidia

What you're looking at is the world's first wireless graphics card named the KFA2 GeForce GTX460 WHDI 1024MB PCIe 2.0. The card uses five aerials to stream uncompressed 1080p video from your computer to your WHDI enabled TV (or any display courtesy of the bundled 5GHz WHDI receiver) at a range of about 100 feet. Otherwise, it's the same mid-range GTX 460 card with 1024MB of onboard RAM helping to make the most of its 336 CUDA cores.

Nintendo 3DS could get 3D video recording feature

3D gaming is obviously the biggest new feature on the new Nintendo 3DS, letting you get your depth on without even having to cross your eyes. However, 3D image taking is also a nice thing that the company has provided, adding a second VGA camera to the back so that you can take twice the low-res images at once and layer them  together. However, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has recently indicated he wants to do better, not confirming any specific plans, but saying in an interview: "I think it will be fun if we're able to include video recording capabilities with future updates."

Sony's special Tokyo meeting on the 27th January

Sony will hold a meeting on the 27th January in Tokyo to discuss "business [overview] and strategy".
That's already confirmed by Joystiq. But we don't know whether the MCV and VG247's sources are right.
They claim that this meeting will be the launch for the new PSP2.
According to Sony it's no major trade debut,  just a Tokyo meeting [of unknown spectacle]. But then again the 3DS unveil was a normal random press release.
Guess we'll have to wait until then.

Nexus S receives Meego+Ubuntu ports

Apparently the Nexus S received two OS ports this week. The first OS is Meego in its very raw and unfinished state. The Nexus S accepts the new OS without any flashing. You just need to copy the OS files into the internal memory. It's possible to drop Ubuntu into the Nexus S memory with just the same method.
Very helpful to developer's and people that need a variety of OS' on their phone.

PS3 Jailbreak now available with Full Custom Firmware

Yesterday, George "Geohot" Hotz demoed some nifty homebrew on a PS3.

It wasn't only a crack but a full custom firmware that he released to the world today.
In its current state it'll only let you play homebrew and no backups.
Meanwhile Sony announced that they will fix it with some network updates, but according to pytey from the group failoverflow it won't be that easy.
"The only way to fix this is to issue new hardware... Sony will have to accept this."Well let's see what the future holds for us.

3DS Battery Life Official Numbers Unveiled

So Nintendo unveiled the official numbers of the play time per charge for their new 3DS that will hit US stores in March. The play time for a 3DS title is 3-5 hours and 5-8 for an old DS title. It'll take up to three hours 30 to fully charge the battery. The numbers for the older versions play time are:
DS 10-14 hours, DS Lite 15 to 19 hours, DSi 9 to 14 hours and DSi XL 13 to 17 hours.
But with the new 3D features it really is inevitable to charge it more frequently.
And it's still better than the battery life of my PSP Slim that won't even last 5 hours of pure gaming. :/
