I was poking around Play-Asia and found a few interesting items that I didn't know were out. Ganbare Goemon: Toukaii Douchuu, the DS installment of the Ganbare Goemon series, is out. (I mentioned the trailer here.) I loved Legend of the Mystical Ninja on the SNES; while some of the humor would come through untranslated, so much wouldn't that I don't expect it's worth importing unless you know Japanese. Here it is if you do.
Donkey Konga 3 is also shipping. (I wrote a bit about it in relation to Donkey Konga 2 here.) Cool. It's news to me, but apparently you can play import Gamecube games using Freeloader without a hardware mod. I would be really tempted to get it, but at $65 for it and a Freeloader? I should play more Donkey Konga 2 first (which isn't really that bad after all, as I found when a friend got it from Gamefly for me).
I lost my OEM stylus a few weeks ago and since have been using my old Palm V stylus when I play DS. It's great because it's bigger than the DS stylus, and the shaft is actually metal so it's nice and heavy. The only bad part is it doesn't fit in the DS, so I have to keep it in a pocket and handle it separately. But now, thanks to buying Kirby: Canvas Curse and Nintendo's special stylus offer, I get a perfectly good replacement stylus that fits in my DS!
It's just pink.
