On Wednesday the 14th news broke of the new Nvidia chip, Tegra (the same one that powers the Zune HD and many smart phones), will be in all of the new DS’ that are scheduled to come out in the fall of 2010. This will be the first time Nintendo and Nvidia have partnered up, but it looks to be a promising relationship, especially because DS sales will account for about half of all Tegra sales. This is still a rumor, but in the technology world rumors are usually truths that companies just don’t want to admit to yet. Rather than “Yay! Trusty Nvidia will power my next portable system!”, my first thought (I’m assuming because I work at a game store) was “Not another DS system!” 
But supposedly this new system is going to be completely redesigned – not just a pretty, new system with a different name and a camera. More posts when more news breaks!
Nvidia Chip to Power the New DS?

A few days ago Joshua and I picked Scribblenauts up. It is rare a Nintendo DS game can capture as much attention as Scribblenauts has, especially the attention of a couple of 20-somethings, but we were so intrigued by the idea that we absolutely had to buy it. After we dusted our DS off we popped it in and were happy to find you can immediately start toying with the prominent feature of the game: making random 0bjects appear with the “scribble” of your stylus.
Nintendo did such a smash bang job producing funny Wii titles that I just had to look up some DS games. As expected, there were plenty if not more games to add to this list. Enjoy!
