I have many fond memories of unwrapping completely excellent gifts at X-Mas time, you can even see my look of glee at the acquisition of Teddy Ruxpin on an article posted earlier today. I remember the X-Mas when I first got an NES, I literally cried. It's neat to think that many a future gamer experienced similar moments this past week, and today I stumbled across this excellent post at DS Fanboy with a fantastic gallery of kids unwrapping Nintendo DS systems at X-Mas. This one of the red cheeked Bruce Lee fan (or something. Seriously, what is that kid wearing?) is my favorite.

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.

As far as internet BFFs go, GayGamer and The Weekly Geek are the bestest best can get. We take turns playing Super Mario Bros together, we ride bikes, one time we even built a tunnel fort out of cardboard boxes. That's why I am proud to pass on the word that our buds are giving away a DS Lite and a copy of Final Fantasy VI Advance!
Check out their site for contest details and be sure to check out their upcoming podcast. It's got that Weekly Geek touch, if you know what I mean.

Finland Finland Finland. Oh? Hello. I was pretending to not see you there. This week on The Weekly Geek, Frodo, The Geek and White Mage welcome Nevery to the cast. He, like all of us, will soon feel the cold hand of death as he ages into obscurity. This week we discuss more Pixar and Disney, the Nintendo DS lite, E3 restrictions for this coming year and old Tiger electronic lcd games. And a fun time was had by all. Here are some show notes.

This is not a "take this with a grain of salt" moment.
Today on the Nintendo Japan website, the DS redesign was announced. It is retailing for about $150 US (whatever that is in Yen) and looks completely logical. It doesn't seem to have a GBA slot, it's slimmed down and looks like an iPod. The DS has a very mature iPod-buying audience so this makes complete sense. No surprises here. Move along.
