Creative Ways to Fully Utilize the DS Lite

Many people fail to realize that given the design and layout of the DS Lite, it can be used in many creative ways. Powerplay highlights some.

Cookbook There is this (non)-game in Japan known as 'Shyaberu DS Oryourinabi', which translates into 'Cook a meal with your DS' in English. However, the electronic cookbook is only available in Japanese, and so are the instructions. Never mind about that, because there are many colorful pictures on hand to help you along. Yeah, I am hoping that they release this (non)-game in English.

Electronic Book
Of course, with the idea of an electronic cookbook, comes the idea of an electronic book. Reading materials to enjoy on the go, while not having to flip the pages. How interesting! Oh, alright, this thing does not even exist. I am just hoping that Nintendo comes out with one.

Graphic Novel
Why haven't I seen graphic novels for the DS before? The PSP owners have it. Perhaps Nintendo should start rolling out some. Mario graphic novels, anyone?

Videos and Music on the DS LiteWhile GameBoy Advance Videos featuring cartoons at approximately 45 minutes long already exist, there is still no such thing as DS Video. If Nintendo can do that with the GameBoy, what's stopping it from doing it for the DS Lite? Come on, store the videos in the game cards! Okay, music. Now, I do remember that there is a DS/DS Lite add-on in the market that comes with a 4GB hard drive so that the handheld can be used to play videos and music. Hey, what's the name of the device?

Translator

There is another (non)-game called 'DS Rakuniki Jiten'. It acts like a dictionary, translating from Japanese to English, and from English to Japanese. Useful tool if you are communicating with Japanese gamers. Pronounciation is included.

Do you have anymore innovative use for the DS Lite? I will like to hear some. Post them in the comments section :)
