New Nintendo DS Releases, Week of Dec. 1

Sunday, November 30th, 2008
Slingo Quest

Slingo Quest

First, a word about release dates. You can’t really trust ‘em. It’s fairly likely these DS games will show up on this day, but there could be unexpected delays, issues with the manufacturer or even pirates. (Ship pirates, not software-copying pirates) In some cases, retailers treat the release date as the shipping date. Please use these lists as a general guide rather than absolute truth.

For DS Divas
Animal Boxing (why not?)
Happy Cooking
My Fun Facts Coach
Slingo Quest (looks like bingo!)
Wordfish (more for kids but sounds fun)

For Kids
Dreamer: Puppy Trainer
Emma at the Farm
Emma in the Mountains
The Tale Of Despereaux

And the Rest
Heavy Armor Brigade
Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi
Prince of Persia: The Fallen King

Personal Trainer: Cooking site is up

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008
Personal Trainer: Cooking Web site

Personal Trainer: Cooking Web site

If you’re not sure whether you want to add Personal Trainer: Cooking to your holiday wishlist or gift-giving list, the new Web site for the software may help you decide. The latest in Nintendo’s Touch Generations genre of DS “games” is now online at www.personaltrainercooking.com. The site is quite detailed, and demonstrates the hands-free voice control (so you don’t get your DS all food-y) as well as other features. There’s a walkthrough and demos of people actually using the “game” while cooking. Actress Lisa Kudrow is on the site, too, cooking kung pao chicken with her niece.

If you preorder Personal Trainer: Cooking on Amazon by Nov. 23, you get $10 off a future video game purchase at Amazon. I ordered it. I’m not a great cook and I only have luck using recipe books for baking, so maybe techonology will work for me. The serving size recalculations and the ingredient shopping list and cost calculator feature are especially intriguing. It even times the meal as it cooks. I hope the voice control works better than automated phone systems, because I don’t want to be hollering, “Continue!,” “Repeat!” and “Last Step!” in my kitchen.

Win a Nintendo DS and trip from National Geographic Panda

Sunday, November 16th, 2008
National Geographic Panda

National Geographic Panda

Here it is in black and white: pandas. (Sorry, bad joke.) Seriously, though, the new National Geographic Panda game for Nintendo DS sounds like a fun, educational twist on Nintendogs, and from what I hear, women as well as kids want to get it. Players can pet their panda, feed it bamboo and learn panda facts.

National Geographic Panda’s makers are holding a sweepstakes in which the winner gets a trip for four to Washington, D.C. to tour National Geographic headquarters and also visit live pandas at the National Zoo. The grand prize winner also gets a Nintendo DS system and the panda videogame, as well as a subscription to National Geographic Kids magazine (my kid loves that mag.) First prize winners (10 of them) get a Nintendo DS, panda game and magazine subscription. And five second prize winners get the game and magazine subscription. Also, if you buy the game from its Web site you get a bonus DVD called National Geographic’s Secrets of the Wild Panda.

Personal Trainer: Cooking is subject of Pasadena shopping event

Thursday, November 13th, 2008
Personal Trainer: Cooking

Personal Trainer: Cooking

Personal Trainer: Cooking is sure to be a hit for gift-giving this holiday season. It’s part of Nintendo’s “Touch Generations” series for the DS, and is targeted toward the beginning home cook as well as anyone who wants to learn international recipes. The game is set to be released Nov. 24, and if you preorder it on Amazon.com by Nov. 23, you can get $10 off a future video game purchase. That essentially makes the $19.99 game $9.99!

Nintendo is ramping up the marketing for Personal Trainer: Cooking, and has invited the media as well as the general public to a supermarket spree and cook-off competition in Pasadena, California on Nov. 20.

The event takes place at Whole Foods Market at 465 S. Arroyo Parkway at 10:30 a.m. There, according to a press release, contestants will “scour the grocery shelves” looking for the ingredients to prepare one of the more than 245 recipes included on the Nintendo DS game. Then, the two fastest contestants will be in a cook-off! It’s hosted by David Ruprecht of the Supermarket Sweep game show.

Personal Trainer: Cooking features cooking demo videos and responds to voice commands as users are coached through recipes.
