FASHION BRAIN • Toys & Collectables
It's not quite retro yet, but it's outselling the Wii. When I first heard that Nintendo had made a handheld system with a touch screen I thought Nintendo was crazy.I never thought anything like that would sell, but boy, was I wrong. This system has more than won me over!
It's cool how you can draw on the screen to play the games. And now you can get a web browser for it!
With great games like Advance Wars, Metroid Prime, (Pearl /Diamond if you're into Pokemon games like me), Custom Robo Arena (an unheard of game that blew me away), etc, you'll be entertained for days.
The system is top notch, I've had my Nintendo DS Lite for about six months now and it still works great, and I love it as much as day I first got it.
The holder for the magic stick (thing) is awesome. And the backward compatibility is great if you have a favorite GBA game you just love.
On a scale of 1-10 I'd give this system a 10, but that might be just my personal opinion. (I've played the PSP and don't like it nearly as much. Too expensive. Buy a DS for less plus one or more games).

Ever start slurpin' on a Chupa pop and decide you just can't finish it? What to do with this pop while there is still wholesome goodness on the stick?
Wrap it in paper? Stick it in your pocket uncovered? Naw, get yourself a Chupa Shark (or a Chupa Croc) and rest assured that your pop is safely locked up while your mouth goes about doing other things. A perfect gift for cheapskates at about 2 Euros in most candy shops.

No it's not a joke. This gadget called the Bowlingual was invented by Takara, a Japanese toy maker, and aims to do away with the language barrier you and your dear cuddly pet face.
Attach this thingamajig to your dog's collar and it will translate its growls and yelps into a more interpretable language such as "How boring".
Are you wondering how it works? Dog noises were recorded and decoded by animal experts and stored in the gadget's data base. Once it receives the dog yelping signal, it immediately deciphers gibberish into English. Now is that technology put to good use or what?
Soon we'll have a gadget to translate English to dog-talk, and then our dogs can understand what we're saying! www.takaratoys.co.jp/bowlingual
