I know I don't need an excuse to buy a new Nintendo DS, but if you don't have one yet (side note: Why?), then Black Friday is the perfect time to dive in. Starting November 28, you can pick up a DS in one of two new colors: Mario Red and Ice Blue. This is great news since the majority of you
like your gadgets with a little hue on them.
Nov. 21 is the official birthday of the
Nintendo DS! And after only four years, it's seen its little sisters, the DS Lite and the
recently-announced DSi, come into the world as well.
After I got my party on with
Raving Rabbids and had my fill with the
Personal Trainer Chef Edition, it was time to rock out with the Wii!
Wii Music (coming out Oct. 20), is Nintendo's answer to
Rock Band, but is only similar to it in the sense that you're standing-up and interactively making music.
I have a love-hate relationship with the color pink, especially on my gadgets. I like sporting the color on occasion, but I don't like how
tech manufacturers think that women only like their gadgets glossed in the feminine hue. Thankfully, I can totally get behind the pink ribbon movement that supports
breast cancer research, and subsequently use it as an excuse to buy another DS.
For some of us, buying a new bag is a big investment, and you want it to match (or at least "go with") the rest of your accessories – including your gadgets. If you're a cohesive color shopper, but can't throw down for that new Gucci, fear not. Make like Louise from the SATC movie
and rent it!
My Nintendo DS knows the contours of my thumbs very well — why shouldn't it know the contours of my face? In late November, when Project Beauty launches, it will. Project Beauty, the result of
a collaboration between Shiseido and Nintendo DS, is a DS game that will recognize your face from a scan, and will then make beauty product recommendations for you (probably Shiseido products).
This October, British celebrity chef
Jamie Oliver will be releasing a handheld cooking game on
Nintendo DS. What's Cooking? With Jamie Oliver will simulate real-life cooking situations, from selecting ingredients at the supermarket to plating meals at the table.
If you've been wondering what's next for the Wii after conquering
Super Mario Galaxy and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, then wonder no more. The
E3 Summit kicked off this week, and the President of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata, revealed yesterday at a press event that
new titles for both Mario and Zelda are in the works.
Iwata admitted there is a dire need for quality games like Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii, which I have to totally agree with, since the sub-par mass of third party games and movie tie-ins are getting a bit old.
