Jill Stuart’s Sweet Limited Package PSP makes its own innuendos, coming in March

¥21,000 ($232), Japan, March 4. All of the foregoing should be irrelevant information because we’re absolutely, positively, definitely sure you’re not going to actually buy one. Right? Look, even if you genuinely don’t object to Blossom Pink as your color scheme, and if you quite rightly find yourself attracted by the handy soft pouch for ensconcing your new PSP-3000 in, don’t you care about what other people might think? And that’s entirely aside from the generic and lazy expectation that women will buy anything so long as it bears a hue from the pink portion of the spectrum. Either way, this bundle of corporate greed and malevolence is coming in about a month’s time, if you’re weird enough to care.

Nintendo DS2 to be announced this year, released not too long after?

Nintendo has already been talking up what a Nintendo DS successor might look like, so it wouldn’t come as too much of a shock if we saw the device in the near term. That’s what EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich believes, anyway. He has a research note out saying that Nintendo will be releasing a new handheld in the next 15 months, and make the announcement within the next eight months. The reasons are numerous, including the need to bone up on online distribution, rampant piracy, and just the regular march of technology that Nintendo is never unaware of — just ask the routinely trounced handheld competition. Unfortunately, there’s nothing “solid” in this report as far as we can tell, so we’ll have to wait for some “unnamed sources” or our cousin’s friend’s dad’s barber to weigh in and tell us how it really is.

Nintendo DSi XL coming to Europe March 5, US eventually

The last we heard, Nintendo’s super-sized DSi XL (or DSi LL if you’re Japanese) would be hitting the Colonies sometime in the first quarter of 2010. As of now we have no information contrary to that, but we do have news specifying when the European nobility will get theirs: March 5. That means UK gamers have less than two months to determine whether they are eligible for an upgrade from the slender DSi, and if you’re not sure how to check, just measure the depth and breadth your pockets. If you have room in there for the new version, with its stereo 4.2-inch screens, you’d better make with that pre-order: Nintendo Japan sold more than 100,000 of the things in just two days.

ODROID, the Android gaming handheld, now shipping to Android gaming developers (video)

Did you get your ODROID order in promptly when they went up for pre-sale back in September? Hope so, as the first lucky developers should be getting theirs any day now. Just 300 units of the 833MHz handheld are shipping, including the various cables, additional hardware, and documentation needed to start filling the thing with fun games that look an awful lot like other games, but totally aren’t. One of the first is Speed Forge 3D (which totally isn’t Wipeout), shown after the break exhibiting some laggy accelerometer-based controls — but 720p output via HDMI sure is sweet. Orders are still being accepted at $349, said to be shipping in roughly five days, meaning if Santa logs into his PayPal account quickly enough you might still find one of these under your tree.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Android-based ODROID handheld shows off its SNES emulation skills on video

We’ve seen a few odds and ends on the ODROID — an Android-powered gaming device due this December — but we’ve never gotten a look at the handheld in action. That all changes today, as we’re privy to a new video of the spec-stacked (833MHz Samsung S5PC100 CPU, 512MB RAM) gamer taking an SNES emulator out for a spin. As you can probably guess, the device doesn’t flinch at a screenful of Space Megaforce sprites, but that’s not surprising given the horsepower. Now if only someone could get this configuration into a phone. While you impatiently wait for that to happen, hit the clip after the break to see what kind of damage the ODROID does on its own.

Conceptual Xbox 1080 handheld beautifully merges Xbox and Zune

Carl Archambeault: you sir, are a champion. We’re not exactly sure if you’re on a first-class seat to Redmond or not, but the boys and girls in Washington could probably stand to learn a thing or two from the Xbox 1080. ‘Course, that’s probably just the fanboy in us talking — after all, who wouldn’t want the powers of an Xbox 360 and a Zune HD merged into one beautiful handheld? — but could you imagine the market shakeup if this thing became real? Paging Mr. Benjamin J. Heckendorn!

Yinlips Projector PMP is a PMP with a projector

You might not know this, but your portable media player is “shackling” you down with its shockingly small screen. What you, and every other self-respecting technophile, need is a projector to explode your awesome digital media onto the nearest wall, flat surface, or just some guy’s shirt. Nikon popularized this projector integration madness, and now Yinlips is continuing it with the 3.5-inch Projector PMP, which claims it can beam out a humongous 80-inch picture (we’d be impressed if it can do half that) and play 64-bit games of an unspecified variety. Further info is scant right now, but we suspect you could fill in the blanks with your favorite generic Chinese PMP’s specs and you’ll probably be pretty much spot on. You’ll know more as soon as we do.
