Nico Nico Medal Games (temporary name) is open!
Written by Jeshii on 2008.10.15 – 15:23 -
NicoNicoDouga has announced their point system is now open (one of the things added in the 秋 update). NicoPoints are just like WiiPoints in that you buy them and then use them for stuff. The cost is about 1 point to 1円, before tax.
The points will be used for buying clothing (?) for your character in the anime MMO/Second Life game ai sp@ce, but until that starts, the only place you can use them is the ニコニコメダルゲーム(仮称) (“Nico Nico Medal Games (temporary name)”)! Medal Games are a staple of ゲーセン (geisen, “Game Centers”) where you can basically gamble, without actually gambling. So for the NicoNico version, they are currently giving away free medals (which you normally have to buy with points) for the various game. So, I tried them out. What I found after the jump…

NicoNicoDouga on iPhone
Written by Jeshii on 2008.10.03 – 12:00 -
First off, you can’t do it. Well, there are round about ways to do it, but flash does not work on the mobile Safari that iPhones have.
I am willing to be that this is the exact reason why the iPhone didn’t take off in Japan. Or, at least, if they had added a ニコニコ動画 (NicoNicoDouga) player, they would have had one rabid fan base right off the bat.
Well, TUAW is announcing that Adobe really wants to bring flash to the iPhone. I am all for it. Of course, right now, when I visit the ニコニコ動画 site on Safari, it crashes… so who knows, maybe I’ll never get to have the joy of commenting “wwwwwwwwwwwww” in front of my favorite videos while on the bus.

NicoNicoDouga AKI!!!
Written by Jeshii on 2008.10.02 – 12:00 -So, NicoNicoDouga has had some interesting version names. There was β (beta),γ (gamma), RC, RC2, SP1, then they went with 夏 (natsu).
But then the season changed and now it is fall. So!
The new version of NicoNicoDouga is 秋 (aki)! Makes sense. After Summer comes Autumn. It’s simple. And the video introducing it was funny, saying 「文句あるか」 (monku aru ka, “Any complaints?!”) And, the 秋葉原 (Akihabara) tie-in potential can’t be ignored.
They were calling the next version… “Double Beta,” but no one really knew what that was supposed to mean. So they went with the natural next choice.
New features have been announced… many not yet implemented. Short explanation after the jump.

The SmileVideo Meteor Shower
Written by Jeshii on 2008.09.18 – 12:00 -Say you want to go to DENPA 電刃, that crazy ヲタク (otaku) dance party in Tokyo (as seen on TOKYOMANGO), but you are way behind on your NicoNico culture? Well, this is your chance to study up!
Basically, there is a compilation of popular NicoNico Music called ニコニコ動画流星群 (niko niko douga ryuuseigun, NicoNicoDouga Meteor Shower), as it is a blast of popular songs on ニコ動 in quick succession:
There are a few versions:
1. The original:
3. Orchestrated:
4. With the original songs remixed:
5. Like above but more chaotic:
And below (after the jump) I have compiled a list of (almost) every one of these songs in order! Title linked to ニコニコ動画 and YouTube embeds. Enjoy!
