American McGee is one of gamings absolute rock stars. Not only is his name unique enough to stick in the hearts and minds of gamers all over the world, but McGee has created some of gamings most unique titles, from his early work at id, to Alice with EA and most recently Scrapland. Turns out, in an upcoming interview, McGee is quoted as saying, “The only truly next-gen console out there is the Wii. Everything else is just a video card and processor upgrade”, taking a pretty rough swipe at the XBox 360 and upcoming PS3. Being the Nintendo fans we are, we can’t help but agree. Could it be possible that McGee’s new development studio he’s opening in China will be working on a Wii title? McGee’s next game, Bad Day LA, will be released later this year for the XBox 360, ironically enough. American McWii anyone?

The enterprising homebrew hackers over at Disinterest.org have hacked together a version of Stackless Python for the Nintendo DS, allowing homebrewskies the ability to begin experimenting with portable Python on everyone’s favorite hand-held console (PSP-what?). This is a port of Python 2.4.3, with the normal functionality of Python supposedly “bug-free”, run from a compact flash based card which is connected directly to the DS. The FAT version includes FAT filesystem support, allowing Python source to be read directly from homebrew devices. Homebrew on the DS is still rather far behind the PSP, thanks to Nintendo’s different directions in security, but the homebrew scene on the DS is moving along quite healthily, I can’t wait to start seeing more and more progress. While I’m happy playing a port of Drug Wars on a DS, I can’t help but thinking so much more can and will be done.

Nintendo Power was the king of kid’s magazines back in the late 80s. With their amazing claymation covers and their Power Club and all the Nintendo characters featured every issue. I still have my Nintento Power #1 wrapped in an envelope and in a safe place. Since I can never read it, I was excited to find out that Racket Boy went through all the trouble of scanning each page of issue #1 and creating a handy PDF file for all to download (via BitTorrent) and reminisce about the good old days of Nintendo superiority. Any bets on how long this stays up before Nintendo lawyers pounce on poor Racket Boy? (Note: Direct download appears to be down, use torrent link).
