Opera has a new press release out today that announces Opera for DS will be available in Japan starting 24 July. While I'm sure Opera DS is very different—based on Opera for Mobile or Devices—if you haven't tried Opera for desktop PCs, you can download the brand spankin' new Opera 9.0 free from their website. (Opera for PC used to be paid or ad-supported, but now is totally gratis—presumably they make money providing one of the best mobile browsers for devices such as the DS and, as announced at E3, the Wii.)
There are a couple videos on YouTube showing some Super Paper Mario play (for the Cube) from the World Hobby Fair in Tokyo. See them here on Go Nintendo.
Net music site Disquiet had an E3 post about music gaming on the Wii and elsewhere at E3 (though no mention of Elite Beat Agents, even amidst the "simpler" music games) as well as how a new volume rule played with attending companies.
Meanwhile computer security guru Bruce Schneier posted a brief comment a month ago on how "off" on the Wii will really mean "asleep," while still allowing net downloads. He also plays up how that means the Wii could apply undesirable updates to itself without permission, which I find implausible given how clueful Nintendo has been with DS downloads—but, true, there's nothing technical there to prevent ReplayTV style emasculation of what you think you bought. Plus that means any Wii you buy, at least in California, will have an "I'm a vampire" sticker.
