JAPAN GAMING SCENE: Japan loves their Nintendo DS's.
During my last visit their this spring, every games and electronics store I went to was sold out of the little Nintendo device that some people jokingly say "prints money." With Japan lapping up DSes as fast as Nintendo can churn them up, Nintendo is showing its home market much love with a new DS that's so shockingly bright, I wouldn't be surprised if it could power solar devices just from its sheen.
Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu reports that Ninty is releasing a new "Pikachu Edition" of its popular handheld that channels the bright yellow colors of its popular electric rat, er, mouse. The new color commemorates the move of its Pokemon Center Tokyo store from its Nihonbashi site to the new Hamamatsucho site on July 20. That's right, while the US still wallows in its piddling assortment of DS colors, Japan is getting yet another special color, this one just to commemorate a store move.
It looks like members of Japan's "Pokemon Daisuki Club" (or I Really Love Pokemon Club) also have a chance to win a free one in a raffle. I don't know if I'd be caught dead with a Pikachu DS but I have a feeling a lot of Japanese won't have that same problem.

LOL is this spam or am I getting some strange international following? (sigh...) At least it doesn't feel so lonely here.
