DS Daily: Mother's Day

Posted May 11th 2008 10:30AM by Candace Savino
Filed under: DS Daily

It's Mother's Day today in the U.S. (and perhaps in other countries around the world, too), so it's only fitting to inquire about our readers' moms. So, does your mother own a DS? If so, what led her to getting Nintendo's handheld? What games does she like? (My own mom is a big fan of Tetris and Flash Focus, but that's about it.)

Do you think the DS is a mom-friendly system? If so, what games do you recommend for moms? Also, share any other Mother's Day related thoughts here, folks.

New York Times one half

With the release of Crosswords DS this week, will a $10 price cut compel you to buy New York Times Crosswords instead?

Amazon's "Deal of the Day" happens to be everyone's favorite alf-loving crossword game (again). While $10 for any game is hard to resist, keep in mind that puzzles from the New York Times are tough -- make sure you have the mental fortitude before picking this one up. You might also want to note, though, that Mother's Day will be here soon, and this might make a nice, cheap gift for DS-owning moms.

All Mom wants for Mother's Day is a DS Lite

Chris Kohler's coverage of random stuff he sees while walking around in Japan continues with a note about Nintendo's latest DS advertising campaign. The sign says "Soon, it will be Mother's Day" next to a picture of a DS Lite playing Brain Age.

We can't help but think that if this campaign works, it'll lead to a lot of disappointed moms this Sunday. We're not saying moms don't want DS's (some may not, but most people do!) The problem is that it's still pretty much impossible to get a DS in Japan, with the apparent exception of whatever store this was. Why would Nintendo even advertise the DS?
