DS Lite

Well, it's been a good few months since the DS was out, so I guess it's time for a redesign.
Apart from looking like the bastard spawn of an iPod, it looks quite good, with larger and prettier screens, and the body is also smaller and lighter. They're also tying the looks into the Revolution: the d-pad has the same markings and the general look is similar to the Rev controller.
It is too soon for this though, the SP was released a good 2 years after the GBA; I would be quite pissed off if i'd bought a DS at full price recently. I think Nintendo also recently quashed rumours of a redesign, which is slightly underhand.

The point is, they should revise their hardware before manufacture, not test out a prototype on the public (while raking in the early adopters' money) and then announce a new version. It's the equivalent to launching hardware and then slashing the price by £100 within a few months like they did with N64, (and MS with Xbox, but they did offer free games) it lowers your reputation as a solid, trustworthy company. I mean, that's a fair part of Nintendo's appeal- you expect better from them.

Google Video

Now i'm sure this is not new for you lot, but wow. As you may know I just got broadband, then I stumbled across this, i'm blown away. The videos aren't very high quality, but they're good enough, and it is only a beta version. The videos range from everything from smooth press-release style ones by companies, to fanboy-made compilations of stuff they got off IGN, but the range is amazing. Here are some fun ones I found (been mostly looking at games vids).

An advert for the first Zelda on NES, featuring appalling 80's white-boy rap.

The Revolution trailer, you may have already seen this, but I thought it was really well done and showcases the new controller in a clever and funny way.

Some nerds in a choir singing NES songs, very funny.

Again, this was on the net before, on the original site; Smash my Xbox (.com) but oh so satisfying. And thank god there are some guys out there not suckered into paying $499 for a buggy, unfinished hardware launch with crap games. I love the part where the guy nonchalantly walks out of a hardware store with a massive sledgehammer slung over his shoulder! And rather telling that the guys in the line are playing PSPs, know what i'm saying?

Finally, some emo retards who need a baseball bat/mouth interface.

Post any cool or funny vids you have found on the comments. Cheers!
