DS Lite is Blue for Brain Age.
DS Fanboy is reporting that Brain Age + the english word “blue” + Japanese DS Lite system do not mix well together.
The word Blue is crital to the game At least I’m assuming it is by the tone of the post. My unopened Brain Age sits in my closet as I wait to “give” it [...]
Nintendo Up for Sale?
Saw this great little post over on our SOTW. Looks like the runmor mill is that Cisco is looking to aquire Nintendo. Now is that Nintendo of America or Nintendo Japan?

PSP Killer, Shmiller, Rose Bowl, Shmoze Bowl
Everyone always talks about PSP Killers lately on Blogs. My question is why? I mean that’s like saying that USC is going to win the National Championship Tonight at the Rose Bowl. It’s just not true.

Nintendo DS sales remarkably high
Considering the strong competition the DS is faced with, many consumers and critics alike foresaw a less then sufficient sales campaign for the Nintendo DS. Numbers so far, however, have provided quite a different opinion.
