With this, the Nintendo DS is above the overall handheld of Sony.
Capcom’s Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Ailu Village was relased last week when the PSP sales rose. The slower sales of the title this week mirror to the hardware’s return to #2.
Nintendo sold 39,936 units. DSi LL alone sold 18,929 units, the DSi and the DS Lite sold 16,968 and 4,039 units respectively.

Face Training game in Nintendo for facial wellness
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
In the Face Training game Nintendo had announced earlier to release a camera for the DS and DS Lite. Three years had been passed since the announcement and in between two new versions of the DS had been released. Now, finally September 24th is the date when the Face Training will be released. Its a European release date.
So, now, apart from DSi and DSi XL, gamers can enjoy this game on DS Lite also.
In fact Face Training is not a game. It is similar to the Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training series. Here, instead of training the brain daily, there is a daily session with Face Training to improve the facial wellness.
Gamers are suggested to use it every morning. There will be avatar Miles to demonstrate the exercises on the left screen and gamers can see their face through the video feed on the right screen.
However, Nintendo did not mention that this exercise will make anyone younger.
It says, “Target the Ocular Muscle with an eye exercise that can help to ease tension around the eyes.”

The current price of the handheld is £129.99 and it is being promoted to comsumers as part of a ‘Price Crash’ campaign.

Stopping R4 chips sale on e-bay and Amazon did not help much in piracy
Friday, February 19th, 2010
The deal of Nintendo with the major online merchant sites such as Amazon and Ebay to stop the selling of R4 chips has not done much to dampen the games’ piracy.
Piracy became easy with this chip. It goes into a cartridge slot of Nintendo DS and through that illegal downloaded games is easily played on the console.
Last year in the month of May both Amazon and eBay had agreed of changing the user policy in order to prevent the sale of modified chips on their sites.
Rose Lappin, the Australia managing director of Nintendo, said that the arrangement with the two retailing sites has not made much impact on the piracy front of the games.
After the introduction of R4 the company has seen a decline in the sales of the DS game sales. Though the two giant retailing websites is out of the picture, but still some smaller online retailers have been trying to make easy and fast cash by selling the modified chips.

DS Lite vs classic Nintendo
Friday, February 12th, 2010
Nintendo DS Lite is smaller than one third compared to the classic Nintendo DS and has a weight of less than 20%. Nintendo DS Lite features brighter screens and with four levels of brightness which give a higher gloss to the games.

With its fantastic look Nintendo DS Lite is not just the top of portable entertainment, but also a true masterpiece of design. Amazing screen brightness: where the old DS was causing visibility problems in the presence of soft lights, we can rejoice four adjustable levels of brightness for both screens.
This new version of the console will soon establish itself as the technological gadget to have at all costs. Moreover, it is a console that has managed to sell 13 million units around the world, and we do not doubt the new version will collect even greater consensus among the general public.
The layout of buttons in Nintendo DS is the same, changing only the position of the keys “select” and “start”, moved to the bottom right, but it lacks the power button, replaced by a lever to push (you have to push up a second and a half during ignition and shutdown) on the right side of the console.

Nintendo DS consoles for DIM cons in a bid
Sunday, January 31st, 2010
If you are an aficionado of Nintendo DS gaming consoles then you might want to become an inmate at a Scottish detention center. This is because that the government of Scotland has proposed that the prisoners should be provided with Nintendo DS Consoles to barin-train them.

The consoles will be provided in all the prison libraries. This recommendation came after a study into how the cons should or can be educated.
According to the said research, Nintendo DS gaming consoles had helped young children who were having difficulty at the primary schools, therefore they should be used to augment the reading and counting ability.
The report cited the example of the US, where the prisoners were allowed to use PlayStations.
The proposal, however, was opposed by Matthew Elliot of the Taxpayers’ Alliance. Matthew Elliot said it would be a waste of taxpayers’ money to buy gaming consoles for the crooks. He said: “It is a completely ridiculous idea. Most taxpayers can’t afford Nintendos for their own children. So why should prisoners get them?”
The report also reluctantly talked about the provision of Internet Access to the prisoners. It noted that access to email and online pornography are due concerns
“A key factor in reducing reoffending is improving employability.To get a job you must focus on literacy and numeracy, which DS consoles do. People who improve these skills are less likely to return to jail.” Opines a representative of the Scottish Prison Service
