Though a European trailer for No Heroes Allowed , the third game in the What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? series, was released during Gamescom, news of a North American release remained up in the air (instead of buried in a hastily-dug dungeon, where it belonged).

We still have memories — some would say nightmares, but we digress — of hanging out at a neighbor’s house and taking turns playing matches of Mario’s Tennis , our biological ocular displays assimilated into a rubber mask that engulfed our brains and left us in a permanent state of viewing the world in red wireframe. Crude 3D though it may be, it’s still a part of history we must accept, and if you happen to own a Virtual Boy, we have just two things to say to you.

Frozen Codebase announced Jam City Rollergirls , a WiiWare game based on women’s flat track roller derby and featuring real roller derby leagues. This is the second “official,” licensed WiiWare game for an unconventional sport that we can think of, and it’s far less disgusting than its contemporary

Remember how Samsung downsized the Wave to make the Wave 723 and killed off the pricey, fancy Super AMOLED display in the process? Yeah, well, the same rule applies to the Android-powered Galaxy line — so if you were hoping to see some mind-blowing contrast ratios on Sammy’s new PMP… well, you can just keep on hoping (and besides, even the mighty Tab has gone the TFT route for now).

Chinese telecom giant Huawei — which has been playing the Android game with major carriers around the world for some time now — has selected IFA to debut the Ideos, a new entry-level model running Froyo in a variety of colors. Huawei’s press release calls the Ideos “the world’s first affordable smartphone” — which seems like a bit of an overstatement (okay, a huge overstatement) to us — but really underscores the fact that this thing is going to be launching for somewhere between $100 and $200 unsubsidized in Europe, Asia, and both North and Latin America.

Shin’en, developer of the DS shmup Nanostray and its sequel — and, most recently, WiiWare platformer Jett Rocket — has begun to tease its next project for Wii’s digital platform: FAST Racing League . Only a single piece of promotional art (pictured) has been revealed so far, but this image is worth at least a couple dozen words. Like, for example, the game looks to be a futuristic racer and the ship design bears an uncanny similarity to those of a certain Sony racing franchise

At last year’s TGS, Capcom producer Keiji Inafune had some pretty grim things to say about the Japanese game industry. “I said that comment hoping that the Japanese creators were going to wake up,” Inafune told Videogamer in a new interview. “However, there has been no change whatsoever to the situation since last year, so I’m still very pessimistic.” Inafune said that some Japanese developers are “still living the glory of the ’80s and ’90s,” when the NES, Super NES and Genesis delivered a steady stream of hit games from Japan to the world
