DS and PSP capable of bringing down planes?

You'll no longer be able to play a DS or PSP on Japanese airlines after a new law was brought into effect there on Monday.

It seems the problem lies with the handhelds' built-in wireless functions, which, Japan's transport minister has declared, have the ability to interfere with aircraft navigation systems.

Do you have any of the follwing in your hand baggage?
Knifes?
Explosives?
Flamable Liquids?
Nintendo DS?
Or Sony PSP?

With millions of people flying, that would be great free advertising for Sony and Nintendo.

The DS and PSP would be fresh in your mind while your in the duty free shops in the departure lounge.

...too bad they probably dont effect the equipment on the plane. Mabey if EVERY passanger was playing a multiplayer game ad-hoc... just mabey...

Synex6063d ago

Aww man that's half the reason why I bought my PSP. Granted I have only flown about 4 times.

squallsoft6063d ago

...when I got my PSP it was over christmas. i spent that christmas with my girlfriend who was at the time living in California. I was living in Pennsylvania so i had an entire 8 hour flight to enjoy my PSP! it was great. XD

PLAY B3YOND

SmokeyMcBear6063d ago

you can turn the wireless off you know, i always do on plane flights

Fezthebest6063d ago

Thats what i do tooo i just turn it off and play games/ listen to music. And hasn't someone actually proven that wireless devices actully dont mess with airplane's navigation system, maybe thats just me.

thats so crazy haha.

it will never disappear.

darksky4d ago

The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.

Inverno4d ago

Another 8,500 will take their place. Smh

PRIMORDUS4d ago

There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.

lucasnooker4d ago

lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to

Super Mario 64 DS: Remakes Done Right

Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.

Chard5d ago

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen5d ago

Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.

kevco335d ago

Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

Infinite Space: The Story Of A Forgotten Space Opera And Sega's Negligence

Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.

ZeekQuattro14d ago

I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.

CDbiggen14d ago

Felt like I was the only person who bought and played this lol
