More ports on the way from Square-Enix


Can't stop living in the past? Good news, Squenix's got you covered with a new port announced by ign.com today.
This time it is a 3D-o-fied remake of the Game Boy's Final fantasy Legends II (which was actually part of the SaGa series in Japan) to be released on the Nintendo DS sometime this year in Japan. According to Famitsu, the game will be remade in full 3D (ala: Final Fantasy III & IV on the DS) and may or may not be cel-shaded. Also there will (obviously) be major updated made to game core game system.
More on that when details are available.

Rumor: DSi In April


Nintendo's DS upgrade, the DSi, may be released sooner than expected.
According to a report by ign.com yesterday "numerous sources" have unofficially confirmed that the DSi will be released in North America on April 4. The unit will retail at $179.99, significantly more expensive than the current DS Lite model, which currently retails for $139.99.
The DSi is a slimmed down DS unit with no Game Boy Advance slot, two built-in camera's, music play-back and improved internet connectivity for a new game and application download service called DSi Ware.
