I don’t know how I missed this, but there’s a new Super Mario Bros. game out for the DS. I’ve been thinking about getting a DS ever since I arrived in Tokyo, but always found something else to spend my money on. Really though, the Nintendo DS seems to be an integral part of most Japanese people’s daily lives, so not owning one here in Tokyo would be like living in Beijing and not owning a bicycle. Now the Nintendo DSi has come out here, complete with built in camera, I’m even more compelled to get one. You can pretend to be playing Final Fantasy whilst taking pictures of a sleeping salaryman on the train.
