Just when the rest of the gaming world seemed bent on going region free, Nintendo has done the unthinkable and region locked their latest incarnation of the DS, the DSi. As pointed out by Gizmodo, this kills the import market, but you have to wonder if it isn’t going to hurt them in the end and give modchip makers something to really smile about.

The new DSi will be 12 percent thinner, thanks to the loss of the GBA slot. In addition, not one but two cameras, an SD slot and some onboard storage. Content will be downloadable via WiFi and sold in a points system that sounds more than a little Microsoftish. Furthermore there will be a photosynching capability. Price ¥18,900 - about $180 [Engadget, Electronic House via Slashgear]

Remember all those times people said that its lucky that Nintendo is not litigious? Well it turns out that they are, as it seems that the brass at Nintendo were not too impressed at the thought of Japanese companies selling imported equipment that allows pirated games to be played on the Nintendo DS. There are five companies included in Nintendo’s lawsuit.
While Nintendo seems to have endless patience when it comes to imitations of its controllers, they have a history of getting involved against piracy. [Gay Gamer via Reuters]

One of my favorite games when I was growing up was Afterburner. Why? Because it was a lot of fun moving with the game; turn left and you move left, awesome. Which is why the Gyroxus has me curious, I must say that I am intrigued at the idea of being able to recreate the whole experience in the comfort of my living room. It is compatible with all major consoles, including: PC, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, PS3 and PS2 consoles.
Price: $479 [Gyroxus via Ubergizmo, Bornrich]
