Two short links, one short announcement:

• Next Gen has an interesting article about Nintendo’s role in the video game market. I don’t necessarily agree with their positions, but it’s good food for thought anyway.
• Opera-based browser for the DS, anyone? Interesting as a novelty, but I’m not sure how much use I’d really get out of it… especially not when they’re charging as much for it as they would a regular game.
• You may now access any/all Game topic entries from http://games.ironsoap.org/. By popular request. Yeah.
