Alisha was so sweet as to get me an early birthday present:

So far I’ve just got New Super Mario Bros. and Brain Age. Though my birthday is coming up. (hint, hint.)

My next task is to convince more friends to get one too. The wireless play is one of the slickest part of the whole deal, especially since most games let you play many players off a single game card. So far I think Luke and Lem have been convinced, and those that haven’t simply have yet to see how cool it is in person. 8-player puyo puyo, anyone?
