Final Fantasy VIII CD Carrying Case may be just in time to hold your Michael Jackson’s great works which are in shiny CD format. The case contains six sleeves and lets you hold 6 discs but no one says you can’t slot 2 discs into one pocket.

The FF VIII CD case is propelled by zipper, water-resistant and dirt-proof technologies. A metal plate on the front has the “Final Fantasy VIII” logo embedded on it. Two cloth pockets are available to store 2 memory cards. $19.90 at NCSX.

Woohoo~

A Nintendo DS glucose reader for kids that can be plugged into the DS or DS Lite’s Slot-2 has came been out on the market. Paul Wessel, the parent of a diabetic child, has helped to develop the Bayer’s DIDGET meter which can reward children for consistent testing.

Test results can be converted into reward points which can be used in the game to unlock levels and purchase in-game stuff. The games are Knock ‘Em Down: World’s Fair video game and Mini Game Arcade.

A pretty useful DS device to help the kids but not for the DSi though.

The Super Family Computer or Super Famicom was a global success during the 16-bit era. Nintendo has used this console to beat the Sega Genesis hands down. If there was no controller, the SFC would be like a body without body parts.

NCSX has the Super Gameboy Commander which bears the likeness of the Gameboy handheld portable. A and B buttons are located on the lower right intentionally. $19.90 for one.

When it comes to Wii Sports Bowling, I can sit on my couch, whip out my Wii remote and scores a perfect 300 occasionally. Maybe CTA Digital is looking into my kind of Wii bowling nerds who find Wii bowling boring to come up with the Wii Bowl.

The Wii Bowl lets you split (pun intended) the blue bowl into half and insert the Wii remote right into its center. Three holes are present to give you the authentic feeling of stucking your fingers into a real bowling ball. The roundy Wii accessory is made for these Wii bowling games: Wii Sports bowling, Brunswick Pro Bowling, Ten Pin Alley 2, AMF Bowling: World Lanes and AMF Bowling: Pinbusters.

Great, just great.

The first look at this Pimptendo or Pimpendo reminds me of Marty the Zebra from Madagascar. For the successful bidder of this cleaned, refurbished and pimped NES system, you can save the Zebra out from the zoo and get it right into your home.

Numerous LEDs are injected into the guts of the retro video gaming system to light the hell out of it in the dark. Zebra fur, peacock feather, purple frill and more have really pimped this NES far away and beyond imagination.

Up for bidding here.

Have you ever been stuck on some level and had to either give up or ask someone else to do it for you?  If you read my “Top 5 Best (And Worst) Yoshi Moments” post, you will know that I was never able to complete that awful Yoshi level in Super Mario Sunshine.

Apparently, Nintendo understands the pain and frustration of their gamers and have offered a solution - “demo play.”   This in-game help system is set to debut this December along with the New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

A Nintendo designer told USA Today that the program will give players the option of letting the game play by itself until it gets through the difficult spots.  When the player thinks it is safe, they can resume play.  Think of it like “autopilot” for video games.

Now that you know what it is, I would love to know what you think.  I know they are trying to make the games more accessible to a wider audience but I really hate this idea.  Of course, people don’t have to use it but for a company that has been raising the bar and pushing players to be more creative and active, this sounds like an awfully lazy add-on.  Yes, I know there are walkthroughs and cheat codes but people still have to implement these tips.  There’s nothing like trying to complete a level for hours (days, weeks, etc..) and finally making it through.  I don’t want to be tempted to skip that whole process.  How do you feel about it?

The hustle bustle of city life and the everyday chaos of modern living do more harm than good to the health of each and everyone of us. More often than not, we need to get in touch with art and humanities to make ourselves less stress and more complete.

If you have no budget to buy exotic paintings, then simple Nintendo Papercraft is the answer to your inner artistic calling. These paper art feature folks from Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Mario, Kirby and other friendly Nintendo characters.

Models can be downloaded and made with your family and friends. Woot.

The Wii Vitality Sensor may be able to take your blood pressure, heart rate and many other forms of body readings but what about checking the health of your inner organs?

Introducing the Ambu aScope which has an ergonomic lightweight handle that resembles our familiar Wii nunchuk. We are not sure about you but we think the Nintendo Wii can contribute greatly to the well-being of humankind in the future if it loses to Microsoft’s Project Natal in the no-accessories, hands-free gaming front.

If you got a Wii, a new innovative side scrolling realtime strategy WiiWare, Swords & Soldiers, is out for 1000 Wii points. You can choose among the 3 factions - the Vikings, Aztecs or the Chinese and use each unique powers and spells to battle it out across 30 campaign levels.

The objective is to destroy the enemies’ castle with the colorful armies you got. A quality game from Ronimo Games, founded by the original creators of “de Blob”.
