Although my eyeballs were plastered to LCDs for the majority of E3, I managed to take some breaks and head on over to the merch booths. I picked myself up one of these DS Lite organizers, which caught my eye from their resemblance to the one that comes with the lime green DS bundle. Brought to you by Power A, who makes tons of portable gaming accessories, you can get your own case from Target (my fave), Best Buy, and even Kmart.

Nintendo is really trying to get us in shape for Summer! Set to make its official debut on May 26 here in the US, Personal Trainer: Walking works by sending data between a wireless activity pedometer (which you can place anywhere — even inside a bag!) and the infrared game card in your Nintendo DS or DSi to track your walking progress.
Your DS will record your daily step count, minute by minute, so you can always go back and see your activity level.

Who doesn't love ninjas, especially when they're mini?! Fighting their way into your consoles this Fall is Mini Ninjas, which is sure to be the cutest game since LittleBigPlanet as far as I can tell from these screenshots. Mini Ninjas has you playing as one of two student ninjas that has been sent out by the Master Ninja to defeat the evil Samurai Warlord and his band of forest animal warriors.

It's always the way. As soon as I think Nintendo has outdone themselves with another great DS bundle, they come out with something even better to make us drool and wish we had that color instead. For instance, how hot was the gold DS and then the fire engine red and powder blue DS Lite bundles?

If you haven't seen the amazing (and kinda creepy) movie trailer for Coraline, you're missing out. Made entirely of stop-animation (which I love), I'm pretty excited to see it when it hits theaters February 6.
And although there are many movie-based games that totally bomb, I think this one has a good chance of making an easy segway onto your consoles, mainly because the story has such great play value.

Are you seeing a few more titles in your game closet after the holiday season? I know I am, which is great, since it's so cold, I don't want to leave the heat of my Xbox 360 to go outside! This month, it's all about the DS, with three out of five of my picks going to the portable system.

With the successful Wii Fit just celebrating its first birthday, Nintendo is ready to debut a new fitness game to the world by February of next year. Walk With Me! for DS portable gaming devices makes walking fun by allowing players to gain points for each step they take.

Get ready, get set, because Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party by Ubisoft will be making its way to our hearts and our homes just in time for the holiday season. Designed for the Nintendo Wii and DS, this fun game offers a variety of wacky mini-games that spoof popular culture and test your skill and insane movement talents! Two of my favorite Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party games include the ski hill game where you get to sit on the Wii Balance Board and steer with your butt as you go down a ski slope (as you encounter obstacles and try to gain points) and the dancing game where you get your groove on and follow the moves on the screen with your wiimote to get points!

The first title in Nintendo's Personal Trainer series for the Nintendo DS, Personal Trainer: Cooking, makes whipping up recipes fun and easy! I had the chance to check it out last week in action and I must admit, I'm an avid cook, but with Personal Trainer: Cooking, it's like having your very own personal chef with you in the kitchen! Acting as an interactive cookbook, with this game you can access over 240 recipes from around the world and a private cooking instructor will provide video demonstrations and talk you through any recipe you choose.
