Scream Yipee. Yell Nintendo DSi! Call Sister! Repeat.

Fresh from dsfanboy.com:

Nintendo's Media Summit has just thrown us its first juicy bone of the night, and it's a big one. As was previously rumored, Satoru Iwata has revealed the Nintendo DSi, the direct successor to the DS Lite which comes absolutely jam-packed with new features and trinkets, including two cameras, music playback functions, expanded screens, an SD card slot, and a whole new, DS-specific download service. Hit the break for the full list of improvements and adjustments, as well as the Japanese launch date and price!

• Overall size has been reduced -- DSi is 12% or 2.6 millimeters slimmer than the Lite.
• Comes with an external 0.3 Megapixel camera (for 640 x 480 pixel pictures) and a VGA camera located on the hinge, directed towards the user. You'll be able to edit pictures using the touchscreen.
  
• Full music playback functionality, including adjustable pitch and playback speed.
  
• Both screens have been expanded to 3.25 inches.
• SD memory card slot is included, and there'll be on-board memory also.
  
• Will ship with an built-in Nintendo DS web browser.
  
• DSi will allow users to download games from DSWare, a new service that operates with Wii Points -- or, as they are now known, Nintendo Points.
• Logging onto DSWare for the first time will grant users 1,000 free Nintendo Points.
• DSWare comes in four pricing categories: free (!), 200 Nintendo Points, 500 Nintendo Points, and 800 Nintendo Points.
• Will come in lovely matte white and matte black. Begone, foul fingerprints that have taunted us so!
• And finally, it launches on November 1st in Japan, and will cost ¥18,900, or roughly $179.

Commence yaaaaaying!

Wii-cked Wario

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. It's just like hosting an online meeting with three of the most expensive people in your company using a borrowed computer (because yours won't work) 15 minutes before your scheduled time and the friggin' site is re-downloading everything and you had no choice but to use guess-who's computer (I won't tell)... but a tad fun-ner.

Video Games Increase Libido

Is it time to buy a WII?

I chanced upon a blog from mobiusgames.multiply.com which lead me to this article from Dr. Laura Berman.

Video Games Increase Libido

I have never been a fan of video games. I always believed they turn people's brains into mush and create inactive, unhealthy children. Indeed, video games even create problems within relationships. When people come home from work and spend more time with their computer and video games than they do with their spouses, problems are bound to arise.
So you can imagine my surprise when a friend of mine told me that Wii (pronounced weē) is not only her kids' favorite pastime -- it also saved her marriage!

If you haven't heard about Wii yet, it is Nintendo's latest video game system. Wii is interactive: When people make movements in real life (such as the swing of a golf club or a baseball bat), the characters on the screen reflect these movements within the game. Thus, unlike other video games, Wii requires players to be physically active and engaged within the motions of the game.

This is one of the major benefits of Wii, and also one of the reasons why my friend credits these games with her marital bliss. When a couple engages in active, exciting activities (such as fighting it out on Wii Boxing or competing together in Wii Tennis) their brains pump their bodies with adrenaline and dopamine.

These chemicals create a sensation which is similar to the butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling you felt when you first met your partner. In other words, new and exciting activities can help recreate the excitement and novelty you felt when you first began dating. So, when you finish your round of Wii, you might be in the mood for another match with your partner... inside the bedroom!

Wii is also beneficial for relationships because it keeps couples moving. Poor physical health, including lack of exercise, negatively affects libido and sexual response. Good health is necessary for good sex. So spending an hour or two with your Wii might create more than just a slimmer waistline; it could also create more spice between you and your partner.

Of course, if video games aren't your thing, you can still reap the benefits of a little activity, and healthy competition, by holding a game night with your spouse. Break out classic games like Twister, Battleship, or Monopoly, and you will learn that fun is the most natural libido-enhancer of all.
