According to the latest inclusion in Nintendo’s Personal Trainer “game” series, I am not a fat, lazy slob. Instead, I am as active as a Daytime Deer and, some days, an Evening Owl.

Thank you, Personal Trainer: Walking. You make me feel thin…

How would you like to take your Mii with you wherever you go? It certainly sounds like an untapped gold mine that Nintendo has yet to dig into.

Well it seems that Nintendo has stealthily unlocked this Mii transporting ability for Personal Trainer: Walking for the DS. All you have to do is go to the Mii Channel on the Wii and press A, B, 1, and hold 2. Afterward, you’ll see a screen that says, “Waiting for a connection from a DS that can communicate with the Wii Channel.” The Mii will tell you how far you’ve walked through a series of charts and graphs. You can also get three more people to track their walking progress on one game cartridge.

Chocomiis are back this year! What’s a Chocomii? Glad you asked. Paul Pape Designs decided last year for Valentines Day to have a special item in the website shop – a little treat called Chocolate Avatars. Since the items were so popular, they’re back again, but with a few changes this time. You’re still getting a 4 inch tall, 2oz. milk, dark or white chocolate avatar, but some changes have been instituted to make the figures more durable and delivery safer.

For example, the figures are now on a 1/4 inch thick slab of chocolate, so they don’t break in transit. They also have little pink sugar hearts on their chests, instead of Red Hot hearts. The little Chocomiis are also each in their own, sealed tray insert this year, as opposed to last year’s bubble wrap. There are also printed boxes to house each pair, that reads on the top, “Wii belong together, you and Mii.” Also, $1 from every order is donated to Child’s Play. You’ll also be able to track your Chocomii’s voyage after they ship, and the recipient will have to sign for them.

The Chocomiis cost $10, and shipping costs $9, $18, or $35, depending on the option you choose. There are only 1,000 boxes this year, and once those are gone, there are no more Chocomiis…

While Sony and Microsoft decided to take the downloadable movie route in expanding consoles content, Nintendo thinks pictures are the way to go. Fujifilm and Nintendo have joined forces to bring an online photo service to Wii owners. Currently it’s only available in Japan but it could find its way stateside depending on the success rate.

The service works similarly to other…

Nintendo’s ready to let Mario Kart Wii run loose with its infamous Wii Wheel on April 27, 2008. That’s another Sunday release for Nintendo after Super Smash Bros. Brawl on March 9, 2008. Does Reggie Fils-Aime have some sort of god complex?

Nintendo’s press release for Mario Kart Wii confirms online play with up to 11 others, and it should be easy to tell who’s who because everyone can…

I received this shirt from Nintendo a few days ago, promoting the Miis that Wii owners can create on their console. So here’s a slice of Nintendo’s Mii PiiR: The Mii Channel now includes a Mii design contest. They give you a character to design (usually a Nintendo character or holiday related) and Wii console more »

There have been strange reports of Nintendo filing interesting trademarks lately.

One of the trademarks Nintendo is registering is actually a renewal for Miyamoto’s game Pikmin, which was hinted at several years ago. Perhaps they’re almost ready for the third installment of those cute little flower people. One could only guess that it may be coming to the Wii console if Nintendo is renewing the trademark.

The trademark Nintendo Magic is rumored to be a…
