Japan gets limited premium Nintendo DS Lites

June 25th, 2008

How nice of Nintendo, conviniently ignores the rest of the world and introduces premium DS Lites only to Japan. Starting from July 1st to August 31st, these premium limited DS Lites will be available to them. And when I say limited, I mean very very limited.

Japan gets limited premium Nintendo DS Lites

How limited? Well, here are the figures. 1000 units of premium black, premium silver, premium rose each. Nintendo wishes to be strict on the number 1000, so hurry up and grab it ( if you are in Japan) because you don’t want to regret it later. Any new features? Nope. The only difference is these things are shinier.

No Newton for the Xbox 360

May 15th, 2008

Man, this is seriously going out of proportions. I think Microsoft likes to deny anything that would make them a clown in front of other people (companies). More than a month ago, speculations about a wiimote lookalike for the Xbox 360 was hot on the loose and some even called it as Newton (no offense there,  Isaac ). But unfortunately (and as usual) Microsoft has denied any projects of such sort.

Microsoft famous for its ‘wait and see’ method could have gained some momentum with its 360 sales if the above project had been carried on.

Its time people had furniture… console specific that is

May 5th, 2008

I reckon this thing will make your television stand hold a label reading ‘Jackass’. This one is purely for Nintendo Wii. Licensed by Nintendo, this Wii stand can accomodate all your Wii franchise including Wii titles. According to jonas_mofos’s shop, Nintendo has stopped producing these stands and are now a rarity. Made of ‘Shiny white wood’, this stand requires no assembly and is hassle free.

Being 36 inches taller, it makes your living room more attractive as its gloss and white wood. Already at the time of looking at this product, there were 6 bidders and for a starting price of $51 (excluding shipment charges) this is a real bargain if the love of your life is Wii. Why don’t we just say its sugar, spice and everything ‘Wiis’.

The World’s smallest Nintendo DS lite

February 3rd, 2008

Oh boy pap’s gono present you with this next birthday. Artist SonicScape Jun crafted out the world’s smallest Nintendo DS out of some office supplies, a knife, some glue. The tiny DS holds together with just a toothpick, besides that he even made a cool looking game cartridge that is pluggable into it. Now I’m thinking myself should i try making the world’s smallest PS3.
