Nintendo has launched a site called I Play for Me, seemingly intended to promote the idea of girls as gamers, bringing onboard actresses and musicians like Carrie Underwood, America Ferrera (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, CSI) and Liv Tyler (The Lord of the Rings, Stealing Beauty). I particularly enjoy how non-fake the commercials are, which is rare to see, especially under such circumstances.
Seeing the latter commercial especially, I have to wonder if I'll be playing Liv online a...

A couple weeks ago there was a leak about a new color for the DS Lite. It's a crimson-onyx Lite that is bundled with Brain Age 2. Here's another piece of good news: It's being released on August 21st in Canada AND the United States (originally only thought to be released in Canada). For only $149.99, you can buy the newest Lite and the newest Brain Game with a carrying case.
A week or two ago, an image surfaced on the Internet of a new DS Lite model that Nintendo were planning to launch alongside Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day in North America. No pricing or release details were announced at the time, but it has now been confirmed that the bundle will hit shelves on August 21 for $149.99 USD.
"An upcoming bundle for Brain Age 2 reveals a sexy new DS colour for those unsatisfied with the default scheme; a red and black combi for your mixed-colour desires... or something like that.
The image reveals a crimson red/black DS combi, used specifically for the Brain Age 2 bundle in the US. The source site has since removed the listing - however thanks to NeoGAF reader AdmiralViscen for the tip."
"Whether you're a longtime gamer who likes classic franchises or a newcomer aiming to keep your brain sharp, Nintendo's summer lineup of games has something for you.

Nintendo DS owners can challenge their minds with games like Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day and the new picture-based puzzle game, Picross DS.
Licensees also are demonstrating a strong commitment to Wii a..."
