Mario Kart is the new foosball

Posted in games at 9:45 am by wingerz

At work, we used to play a good amount of foosball - a couple of games after lunch, another few mid-afternoon, and maybe a few more right before taking off. This pasttime has been replaced by Mario Kart DS now that five of us have it. It seems that the DS has reached a tipping point, at least among people I know. A few weeks ago I played with Lee, Brian, and Wilson (who are in MA, PA, and CA), which was awesome. And in Tetris DS, I’ve finally found a game that interests Jen.

Some DS links:

• DS software sweeps the top 10 on the Japanese sales list: It’s pretty stunning, after years and years of seeing nothing but PS2 titles on this weekly-published list.
• IGN’s fall DS game preview: All this, and Starfox is getting decent reviews.
• Buy 2 get 1 free, DS games, Best Buy: To help pay for the games in the link above.
• DS coming out in pink and black: Old news, but it’s finally nice to see some non-white ones here.
