Here’s a fake ad for Wii in the style of Apple vs PC (boy, were those annoying):

Nintendo is sending a Nintendo DS Lite and Brain Age for President Bush’s 60th birthday.

*is it just me or is giving a gift like this is similar to giving mouthwash to someone because they have bad breath. (possibly not as worst though).

Nintendo Gifts DS Lite to President Bush - Kotaku

This is too funny. I, myself, just got down to age 20 yesterday after fiddling around with it for 3 weeks. Today, it’s down to 26 again.

Read the included letter after the jump.
(more…)

According to Joystiq which in turn according to the website Play-Gadgets.com which is also in turn Sina.com.nl, a large shipment of BLACK DS Lites bound for Europe have been missing. Also including DS games. The estimated value is $2.3 milllion.

Stolen? Check ebay quick! Don’t bother buying it though. Nintendo might block your MAC address from Ninteno WiFi Connection.

After selling my original Nintendo DS + Super Mario 64 + New Super Mario Bros for ~$150 two weeks ago, I finally pre-ordered my Nintendo DS Lite last night. I was resisting to until they release the Black version. But I remember that my friend has a black PSP and you can see every hand/fingerprint and scratches. The new Nintendo DS Lite that I ordered was Crystal (Coccaine) White that will match my Ceramic White PSP.

My Ceremic White PSP is not being used for gaming at the moment but as a Media player. For me, there’s nothing out on the PSP that I’m interested in yet and what the fact is up with LOAD TIMES? I want my handhelf games to go as in you turn it on and its ready to play.

Datel just released a media player for the DS for $39.99 just for the adapter (there are bundles). I think I’ll get that and sell my PSP.

Any offers out there?

*I know that some stores have broken the street date (Target, Walmart, Sears) I don’t want to drive around to find one. At least I secured mine from online for $130.

I could have named this post as “black Wii” but it just sounded weird.

Look at this sexy device. It’s been reported that this is the finalized SDK Nintendo promised to ship this month.

It says REVOLUTION as it is still the codename. The cord coming out of the remote is for power (cause you know it runs on batteries).

As the above picture shows, the name Revolution will live on in the Model No. and the SDK Codename.

Craig from IGN has received his DS Lite and what a surprise it is when he opened the package.

Believe it or not, I only entered once in the 4 years I had a subscription.

I actually still have a Nintendo Power subcription. They really get you with those Player’s Guides and Game registrations. It would be really cool if they turned those game/system registrations into a full-pleged club with point systems like in Japan.

Anyway, the staple of NP is the monthly contests. Here’s a website showing some cool prizes and one the worst.
