There is a lot of extra space for you to store games, an AC adapter and other essential accessories. It also provides several different carrying options.

It’s perfect for summer road trips!  I know that one thing that always irritates me is digging around in my bags to find my games (or losing them!) and/or my power cord.  This could make traveling a lot easier!

DS Mini Backpacks Makes Travel Easy

The past week has been a busy week for me. Erm, busy playing Final Fantasy IV on my blue Nintendo DS Lite. However, I managed to catch a trailer of an upcoming DS title called Ninjatown where you have lots of ninjas to defend your town. I wonder if it’s any good to play.

Where To Buy:

Final Fantasy IV (Amazon)

A Busy Week For Me…

After Final Fantasy III, my DS just collects dust under my bed. Now it can see daylight again, thanks to Final Fantasy IV!

Final Fantasy IV, DS Trailer

One of the most anticipated games of the year, Spore, will be releasing a Spore Creature Creator (retail and free demo available) on 17th June. The free demo will be made available on Spore website on that fateful day.

The Spore Creature Creator gives Spore fans, and those who are creatively curious, the first hands-on opportunity to design their own species and share it with their friends. All creatures designed with the Spore Creature Creator can be imported into the full retail version of Spore for PC and Mac when it launches on September 5, 2008 in Europe and September 7, 2008 in North America.

We can’t wait.

Spore Creature Creator On June 17, Conjure Your Kind

I admit I can’t cook a proper dish in the kitchen although I excel in Cooking Mama. For young Japanese women who never step into the kitchen and prepare a proper meal in their whole lives, Mr Kouzi Aida is their saviour. Aida-san uber-popular easy recipe books have sold millions in Japan and is about time his recipes are heading for Nintendo DS.

Kouchan no Shiawase: Kantan! Oryouri Recipe boasts a cool 300 recipes for users to learn and kick butt in the kitchen. Let’s look at some of the screenshots.

Just looking at the screenshots, I’m drooling like mad. Besides providing step-by-step instructions, this cooking hack game also has a glossary, search function and shopping list for you to know what to buy in order for you to cook. Of course, all are in Japanese but if you know the language and inspired to cook a decent dinner for your loved ones, you can pre-order the game at NCSX for $39 (ships on 3rd April).

Happy Cooking!

More Useful Than Cooking Mama, Kouzi Aida Saves Young Jap Women From Cooking Noobness

First Nintendo announced that there were Wii shortages in the U.S. and the U.K..

Not a big deal. They switched the ads in the U.K. so that people would fixate on the DS instead and promised rain checks to us Yanks.

Great!

Except now, Nintendo America has come out and said that they’re worried about possible DS shortages.

That’s bad. Very, very bad.

No word yet if Nintendo is considering a rain check program similar to the one that they implemented for the Wii.

Yet another wonderful reason to get a PS3.

Time’s 10 Best of ‘07

Expect to see a lot more ads for the Nintendo DS on your telly.

Nintendo is pulling all of their Wii ads and replacing them with ads for the DS due to huge demand and a supply that just can’t seem to keep up.

A spokesman said, “We have been running the campaign all year round, but we want to take a responsible stance this Christmas and not fuel demand”.

Don’t fret my British readers, you can always get the Wii that I wrote about from Ebay.

Free shipping!

No Wii Ads in the U.K.

The “little hand held that could”, sold 124,627 in Japan, up from 116,694 the week before.

The next closest system was the Wii with 54362.

Microsoft’s 360 got a thorough spanking and only moved 7117 units.

If the DS keeps on selling like it’s selling, it will beat the PS2’s sales records by early next year.

I guess I’m going to have to jump on the DS bandwagon. The games keep getting better and the system keeps getting cuter and cuter.

And you know, when it comes to choosing a console, I always choose based solely on the system’s aesthetics.

DS Stomping Everyone in Japan

I mean, seriously, what’s better than sitting at my computer with a nice hot cup of coffee and writing this?

Anyway, I was on Amazon earlier and found these two cute little puppies.

The Pink DS and the Gold DS are both “Limited Time Offers” and each comes with a free game.

These guys are so tiny and cute that I think every stocking should have one.

Black Friday deals on Amazon start at 6am EST. I’ve heard rumors that there are going to be some really great video game deals. I’ll give you one guess where I’ll be spending the majority of my day.
