Nintendo ruled the handheld gaming market. Before the iPhone era, I often saw people swipping a pen on a handheld device, seemingly doing something intense, while on the go. Later I learned that it is a device called NDS. The NDS was king for a while, until its slimmer, lighter cousin, the NDS Lite hit the market. (Yeah, we do not like stodgy stuff, whether it is human being or not). Some friends told me they like to play games like Cooking Mama because it is a whole different gaming experience. (Well, in the subways, fathers, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunties all cook.) It is no simple point-and-shoot kinda stuff.
I personally like long-lasting puzzle games (you know, buy less games to save some bucks. Of course, the best way to save some buck is --- ta da, don't play at all). I saw lots of people trucking loads of red-pockets clamoring for a Wii (sigh... me inclusive. Any one got a part time job?) or NDS or something similar.
Now the NDSi not just let you play all the existing games, but also add in social-gaming experience. With a camera, user can play with images on the fly. Gaming with sound is a new feature. It connects with WiFi to play online as well. An SDHC card slot allows user to play music, store photos and saved games. Here is a peek at the device.
