Nintendo Gaming / The Wi-fi USB Connector... no longer exists?

It looks like they aren't making them any more. Wikipedia suggests that there's actually a lawsuit that prevents Buffalo from selling them. Great. So what's the most affordable means of getting a DS online, assuming that one doesn't currently own a wireless router?

Nintendo Gaming / The "yay, trophies" thread (surprises revealed, so maybe minor spoilers?)

« on: April 16, 2008, 01:36:34 AM »

Just thought I'd post screenshots of some of the "pleasant surprise" trophies.


Ashley Robbins, from Trace Memory/Another Code. Definitely didn't expect an adventure game character to be hidden away as the 100-hour challenge. I might never have guessed it if Sakurai hadn't posted a list. Her silhouette is pretty ambiguous.


What you can't see in screenshots is that Kyle Hyde's trophy is animated, using the same hand-sketched style used throughout Hotel Dusk. As soon as I saw that, it went from "meh, flat trophy" to "second-best trophy ever."



Love the detail on the Ouendan Trophy.

And the "best trophy ever" award goes to...





What are your favorites?

Nintendo Gaming / If you liked Mario Kart Ds, you might also like...

Okay, I just got this email from Amazon.com:



Now, it would be one thing if they were calling me on my history of purchasing lame, girly non-games, but it says right there that it's basing the suggestion entirely on the fact that I've "bought or rated" Mario Kart DS and/or other Nintendo DS games. Seriously, what? Did everyone who has bought DS games from Amazon get this email? How is "Holly Hobbie and Friends" notably similar to Mario Kart in any way?

Picture a cat.

Now, picture a ladder.

Now, picture an imaginary thing called a "catladder." What does it look like?

Imagining things like this is good for activating your pre-frontal cortex!
