For those of you who, like us, are now done unwrapping the gifts and tallying up the final scores, we'd like to know what DS gifts have been bestowed upon you. Did you unwrap a new DS Lite, or perhaps got yourself a few games? Did you instead get those accessories you were looking for? Let us know in the comments!What did we get? Well, plenty of clothes (growing up sucks) and some gift cards. With about $150 in cards to various retail outlets, we plan on getting ourselves some gaming goodies.
[Update: Whoops, we had Wii on the brain! We meant which DS-related gifts, not Wii.]

We're in a poll mood today and were wondering where the majority of DS Fanboy readers like to play with their Nintendo handheld. Perhaps you are like us and play mostly in your own home, quietly sipping a cup of Early Grey as you scream at snaking bastards when playing Mario Kart DS over Wi-Fi.

A retrospective study on this phenom reveals some startling truths about our favorite crimson-adorned pipe-jockey: a history of drug addiction, racism, and dealings with the seediest portions of the underworld. Destructoid has put together an eye-opening list of the egregious offenses this plumber has leveled against you, the gaming populace, and it's your responsibility to educate yourselves forthright.
DS-x2 got a hold of some screens for the upcoming sequel to Lost in Blue. What's the most surprising about them is the confirmation that the game will take place on a desert island. We totally didn't see that coming! Now, we never played the first game, so we have no frame of reference on whether to be excited or disappointed at the idea of a sequel, but that's why we have you, fine reader!
Looks like Nintendo loves 
Flickr user waffles2005 decided store bought cases weren't the appropriate flair for a DS, opting to create a carrying case from scratch. It doesn't stop there either, as waffles2005 made a game cartridge carrying sleeve, as well. Personally, we love seeing folks excited about their handhelds, mainly as it instills in us a feeling of companionship in our rabid obsession with Nintendo's dual-screen gaming system.
Chocobo and the Magic Picture Book launched in Japan today and, in full-on Square-Enix fashion, was accompanied by an event in Shinjuku. Consumers were also greeted with this snazzy little pouch as a bonus gift upon purchasing the title. It's said that the final game features over 40 different mini-games and you can bet we will be getting our hands on it should it release stateside.
