News from Japan

Big news from the big N in Japan. They will soon open a Korean "branch". Big news for them seeing as Yamauchi never expected it. There is friction between Japan and Korea, but not as much as there used to be. Maybe we will see some Nintendo content from Korean programmers who happen to have alot of talent.
Nintendo Japan has registered some WiiPatents recently. According to Magicbox-
Nintendo has registered a number of new patents in Japan between June 18 - 26, including WiiCan, WiiClub, WiiCommunication, WiiDiary, WiiHappy, WiiHealth, WiiHome, WiiKids, WiiMap, WiiOnline, WiiSenior, WiiWords, WWWii, WiiActive24, WiiCountry and WiiAlive24.
Of course these are Japan patents and may not see the light over in the states.
Sales of the DS continue to impress everyone. Another 150k+ flew off the shelves this week. The #2 system was PS2 with 25k. XBOX 360 was ranked #8 with 1100 systems sold.
I found this comic to be humorous. Even though its from EQ2, anybody that plays an MMORPG can relate. I think you need Adobe to see it. http://newsletters.station.sony.com/images/eq2_eof/comic/Survival_Tips_1.pdf
