iPhone Commodore 64 app removed from App Store

Were you happy to hear that C64 , the iPhone Commodore 64 emulator app, had been approved by Apple and finally seen release ? We were too. Try to remember that feeling, then, as we tell you that after having been rejected, and then finally accepted, it’s been pulled from the App Store. When developer Manomio learned that the C64’s BASIC interpreter was the problem the first time, it removed obvious access, but left the interpreter in the software so it could be re-enabled later if Apple changed its mind.

Pachter predicts Wii price cut by November

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes Nintendo will cut the price of the Wii by “no later than November.” The prediction was part of his “August 2009 Video Game Sales Preview,” which hit inboxes today, right before this Thursday’s August NPD report. Pachter doesn’t believe Nintendo can achieve its sales projections for the year if it holds onto the Wii’s 2006 launch price of $250. Pachter’s been talking about this Wii price drop for a couple months now , but we’re still not convinced that Nintendo will drop its console’s price — like its HD competitors have been doing — or if it’ll just make something like a Wii Fit bundle at the console’s current price. Oh, how about just releasing the Wii in some new colors

Apple rejected the app because it “launched other executable code,” specifically, C64 games. Now, Apple Insider reports that the app has been given a second chance.
