Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing – a potentially lethal fake imported Nintendo DS
Don’t ruin Christmas by purchasing a cheap fake Nintendo DS off the internet and have it explode and burn down your Christmas tree and, subsequently, the entire house and a bit of the neighbour’s house.
That’s the slightly over-dramatic warning being issued by HMRC today, which says it’s intercepted “hundreds” of fake Nintendo products on their way into the UK, including the old DS and the lovely DS Lite – products that include…
Squint at a classic book on your Nintendo DS
When you’re not crossing animals or looking after your Nintendog, you might like to brush up on a spot of classic literature with the 100 Classic Books software.
The application does exactly what it says on the box – lets you read a load of classic books on the pocket console.
While the DS’s screen is no match for the likes of the Sony Reader, BeBook, or Amazon Kindle, it might be worth getting if you want to enjoy a sneaky Dickens, Shakespeare or Melville on the Tube…
WIN WIN WIN! – Nintendo DS and a copy of Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Jedi Alliance

Nintendo to release new DS bundles for Christmas
Nintendo doesn’t often do too much with the DS. Since the Lite was released there hasn’t been anything new except for the odd new colour here and there, so it’s nice to hear that the big N hasn’t forgotten its little console with a zillion rubbish games…
First Grand Theft Auto DS details leaked?
The (rumoured) first details of the eagerly-awaited Nintendo DS version of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars have been leaked on an internet site…only to be removed shortly afterwards…
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars exclusive heading to Nintendo DS
It’s traditional for every console maker to come up with a big surprise for E3. Some struggle to stay under wraps in the monstrous hype preceding the event, but other come as a very pleasant bolt from the blue. Nintendo achieved the latter with the announcement of GTA: Chinatown Wars for Nintendo DS.
Nintendo DS Lightsabre Stylus
I’m rather horrified at the level at which Star Wars merchandising has reached with these light-up lightsaber styli. (styluses?) But I must also confess to being secretly charmed by the idea of prodding at a Nintendo DS with a mini glowing lightsabre.

'The game with no name' – The Ring-type horror game coming through a DS near you!
DS horror fans of the world listen up and listen up good. The producers over at Square Enix have designed a game that’s going to chill you to the core.
Loosely based on The Ring, the plot centres round the urban myth of a video game that if you play, you’ll die one week later. See how that works?
According to our friends over at Pocket Gamer and Nintendic, who translated the rumour from Japanese magazine Famitsu, the game will start to freak you out by mimicking the DS menu, carrying out phantom operations and sending you dark messages, you know like “You’ve left the iron on” or “Steve Ballmer is your father”.
The game is called “Geemu no Nanatsu” in Japan which translates as “The Game with No Name”…
