If you can believe this metric, http://trends.builtwith.com/javascript, jQuery is used in over 40% of the top websites. It has a strong developer community and is well-documented for the most part.
The book does not devote too many pages on jQuery, but it makes a few mentions.
I don't think Nintendo is doing this on purpose. They set forecasts and set up production to meet them, and those forecasts were exceeded by a lot. They could open up new production facilities, but that would take time, and they may also be factoring that by the time the facility is ready, the demand may have waned.
It makes no business sense to suppress the supply. because every unit they sell is profitable. I'd say Occam's Razor applies: They just can't make enough to meet the demand.
Nintendo of recent years has been generally more forthcoming in their PR, so I don't think they really want people to go to PS3 or XboX 360.
I don't know if the parent above should be modded as funny. Blizzard is one of the very few companies that does put out Mac clients for their current games.
I know several people who use Macs that play WoW. While I don't know the total number of Mac users playing WoW, I believe that Blizzard thought the mac gaming community was significant enough to make a Mac client.
They have been making toy and games before video games entered the picture. They make their money making products that entertain people as well as licensing their characters for merchandise. If it turns out that video games are no longer a good source of income, they will make othe toys and games to sell. The console appears to be only one product in their overall strategy.
Have you noticed how incredibly lightweight the Wi-Fi connection is? It's nowhere near the feature-richness of Xbox Live.
I think Nintendo keeps its costs down with a simpler online service and lets future game sales pay for infrastructure. Also, Nintendo does merchandise licensing (Pokemon, etc.) and that generates revenues as well.
Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors are hack-and-slash PS2 games set in the respective historical time period. Modest difficulty.
Gitaroo Man is a music game with a amusing storyline. You must use buttons and the analog stick to follow a pattern on the screen. It has a competitive component. It's pretty challenging though.
As far as I remember, every dungeon that had red bubbles also had blue bubbles. However, the locations of blue and red bubbles are far apart in some dungeons. That does get annoying.
I had that book. It spends a lot of pages advocating why you should design with web standards and the history of bad web design, but it really doesn't provide reference information or many useful examples. The book is more about advocacy and "ranting" than a reference book, so keep that in mind.
Nintendo is a publically traded company in Japan (symbol: NTDOY). They can't be private company. You can even purchase ADRs of Nintendo shares if you find brokers who will do the transaction for you.
Wouldn't that just make their client base angry? "Get free.Mac; get spammed?" I would believe the ill will generated by that would not be worth the revenue from such a mailing list.

You can say that Bullet Bill and Blooper are new elements for Mario Kart. All those new tihngs you quoted do not fundamentally change the game that much. The GP seem to imply that he/she wanted a more dramatic enhancement, but that might have risked altering the mechanics that the series is known.

Advance Wars DS looks like a refined Advance Wars game. It doesn't add many new elements, but the game runs well.
I don't see why you would think Advance Wars DS is great while Mario Kart DS is not.
I think the game should have offered variable difficulties for the player to select. We're not all the same skill level and being able to choose a difficulty level would be nice.
While there are over 700 GBA games, most are no longer available for sale in retail or online vendor channels. I am unsure if the audience that the GB Micro would appeal to would bother hunting ebay or other specialty venues for used GBA games.
>>>And taking part of a statement and twisting it's intentions around is part of how American works, check the media as well as the politicians lately? And we'll not talk about the media reporting on politicians.
Just because this is how it is done here doesn't mean that it's right. The GP used an incomplete statement and the parent called him/her on it.

The deal was for Wayport to service Nintendo Wi-Fi connections at participating McDonald's restaurants, but that agreement expired.

I saw this. It requires you to install an engine to your web server (like Tomcat).

The closest game to SSB I can see is Jump Superstars on the DS.
Various licensed characters, multiple characters on screen, large stages, general chaotic action.
Plaxo is a virtual address book. If users are Plaxo users and have each others' contact, the information gets updated.
I personally don't need Facebook to manage that kind of updating.

Not yet. The only decent driving game so far is ExciteTruck, but it is not a driving simulator. It's an arcade-style driving game.

I do not think Nintendo wants to buy out the entire corporation unless Sega Sammy Holdings wants to sell off Sega.
It is also recommended. Red Steel is a mixed bag in the control department.

That is your best RTS for the DS yet.

Not as popular as FF, but it is a major RPG franchise in its own right.
With the exception of the Wired references, the other references seem to have come from a recent Business Week article.
