    Quills At The Ready!

    With Phantom Hourglass shipping today (and arriving into the hands of Link fanatics tomorrow), and Nintendo's current trend of wrapping new games in shiny promo hype in order to make you feel less horrible about dropping the scratch to own a piece of plastic no bigger than a 50 cent piece, it should come as no surprise that Nintendo is at it again.

    Coinciding with the release of Phantom Hourglass, Nintendo is offering a quill like stylus for the DS, that is if you register your game on the Nintendo website. There don't appear to be any images circulating on the tubes just yet of the quill, but in the waking City of Lost Children-esque nightmare that is my steampunk fantasy this will be a giant swishy feather attachment made specifically to go alongside my copper and brass DS Lite.

    I am finding this, so far, to be untrue. Maybe it will happen later.

    I did however get an e-mail from nintendo saying that they are sending me 6 new stylus. 1 for every color in the rainbow (for real). And all I had to do was register the copy of Brain age 2 (that I already am tired of and goozexed) and fill out a really short survey. Sweet deal since I nearly bought a pack of stylus today because I need a new one.
