Nintendo DSi








Spring is going to be an exciting time for Nintendo fans. Not only will Pokemon Platinum be released but there's also a brand new DS coming out, the Nintendo DSi.



Nintendo DSi Features:

  • Larger Screen
  • Better Audio Quality
  • Thinner Design
  • Built-in Camera
  • Connect Wirelessly to Internet to browse web
  • Download exclusive games and more from the Nintendo DSi Shop
  • Play music off any standard SD Card (AAC Format)

Nintendo is totally trying to attract the casual gamer with the DSi just like they did with the Wii. You can talk about all the great Wii games until you're blue in the face but deep down you know that your favorite Wii feature is creating Mii's. Adding a camera and a microphone to the DSi and allowing the users to tweet the photos and recordings is going to occupy a lot of people's free time.

Available April 5th, 2009

Pokemon Platinum Guide

March 22nd is coming up fast and if you want to hit the ground running when you finally get your copy of Pokemon Platinum, then you should pick up a copy of the Pokemon Platinum: Official Game Guide.

Some people are against using the guide books but I'm a big believer in them. You can search the internet for tips and maps but having a hardcopy of everything you need in one spot is a huge time saver.

I wish we had a guide book for Pokemon Diamond. My son and I spent so much time back tracking to get the stupid bicycle coupon. We could have read the guide and saved a lot of time.

Drawing Pokemon

Wow, this guy is awesome. I stumbled across this video of him drawing Pokemon and next thing I knew I was looking for a pad and paper. He make it look so easy.

In the video this guy draws a picture of Ash Ketchum and also one of, who else, Pikachu.

Hmmm, my drawings didn't come out so great so I had better pick up a book like this, How To Draw The Pokemon

Let's Find Pokemon

Let's Find PokemonIf you've got a Pokemon lover that you need to buy a gift for this holiday season, then you should pick up a copy of Let's Find Pokemon!

It's basically a Where's Waldo?
book but instead of finding Waldo, you find your favorite Pokemon. We got this book for our son, who's six years old and he loves it. He sits there and studies the book for longer than I thought his attention span would allow him too. It's great for long drives in the car too.

The pictures are great and highly detailed with well over a hundred Pokemon on just about every page. The best part about this book are the bonus challenges. Not only do you have to find the Pokemon that they ask you to but at the end of the chapters they ask you to go back and find additional items. These extra items can are pretty tough. For example the book will say, in the last 12 pages there is only one Jigglypuff. Go back and find it.

After spending sometime with this book, it'll be a breeze to find Waldo.
