Nintendo Ds Emulation

E3 2011: Will 2012 be the year of the second screen?

Among all the myriad events and announcements of E3 2011--some bombastic, some evolutionary--the unveiling of the Wii U was one that, no matter who you asked, generated some degree of mixed feelings. As gaming press and players, what we saw from Nintendo's future console controller produced sensations of excitement, skepticism, ambivalence, and intrigue.

That might be due partly to the expectations that Nintendo set for itself. The Wii was a new experience, a new idea. It also might be due in part to Sony's PSVita stealing some of the spotlight a day before; the handheld device actually has many of the same control mechanisms: touch screen, dual sticks, cameras, motion control.

What might be overlooked, however, was the simplest truth about the Wii U: it's a second screen for a home console. It's an idea that's never been done before outside of multiple-monitor PCs, or Nintendo's own DS and 3DS handhelds. In fact, technically, in another year or so Nintendo will exclusively be a second-screen game company.

Third-party discussions and demos of the Wii U's capabilities address augmented reality and motion control, but more than anything else, developers seem curious about the second-screen element of the Wii U. While Nintendo's console might seem to be standing alone with the idea of second-screen gaming, I wonder whether they'll have company in 2012 and beyond.

I've been skeptical of second screens. Disney's Second Screen apps for the iPad have attempted the same secondary-readout idea for use with Blu-rays. I found the effort distracting . Yet, I use a second screen when I watch TV most of the rest of my life: it's my iPad or my iPhone . I tweet about what I'm watching. I google up historical or related information when I watch movies. I use a sports app for continual stats when I watch football.

Even though the Wii U tablet controller doesn't look like it's meant to ever function far apart from its base console, its employ as a continuous second screen for the unit opened up intriguing possibilities in my mind as I boarded my plane back to New York after the E3 show. If you imagine the Wii U in terms of a PC gaming experience and a second monitor, albeit a lap-based or handheld one, viewpoints or advanced strategy commands make sense. The Nintendo DS has dozens of games that successfully found dual-screen solutions. For the DS, two screens weren't a gimmick after all, like we may have thought in 2004. Similarly, motion gaming on the Wii ended up, for better or worse, being emulated on every major game platform. Perhaps Nintendo might be on to something again.

DSonPSP Unofficial v0.1 Released: Nintendo DS Emulator for PSP ...

Taking on the DSonPSP project — the Nintendo DS emulator for the PSP — is developer Jonlimle… First time round, not much improved or changed, but the to do list sounds real good. Lets hope that happens. Jonlimle is working from the beta 6 source, so you’ll likely notice differences between this version and Yoshihiro’s last version: DSonPSP BETA 7 .
