I’m not sure what it is with video game accessories in those days. It’s almost like you can not live without a successful game. It appears that Easy Piano has stolen a page from the Guitar Hero Playbook by a forged deed with her game.

You will notice that the eight full-octave keyboard peripheral that attaches directly to the DS itself, and they are to play is of course part of the game. The result looks like a sliced section of a Casio keyboard.

Finally, the user will be able to play one octave to the value of Mozart, Beethoven, and other fare such as “Bohemian Rhapsody” or “Jingle Bells”. It also includes a recording function, so that players can create their own one-octave hits.

I’m sure you noted hint of sarcasm in my last paragraph. I think it is because I believe that when you become a “Piano Hero” type game, you can not be a keyboard with 88 keys? In this way, the players could play the piano for real, after he or she is finished playing the game, as opposed to the instruments on rock band.

See, video games can teach you something. If you want to check it yourself, then you have to wait until November.

The boys at iFixit have decided it is time to seek the Nintendo DSI, to see what you find in the new console.

iFixit go into great detail explains the position of each screw and how certain parts. Looking inside we see that the Nintendo DSI has a smaller battery then the DS Lite. It has a capacity of only 840mAh, which is probably why some complaints of short battery life are emerging.
