    Oh BOY. Lookat that PINK SWORD. It's so long, and round and smooth. The perfect starter for all tween's.


    ...This makes me cry a little on the inside.


    Damn you Nintendo and your stereotypes and your horribly conceived plastic products.


    PS: My favourite colour is brown, you bloody bastards. ):

    Make a sword out of that why don't you. -shudder-

    I see they're expecting girls won't know the difference between a pink baseball bat and a pink golf club either.


    (Second from the left, sure looks like a golf club with 'baseball bat' on the package, but then my eyes have lumbago).

    As a girl, I must say.. KILL IT. >___< SOME OF US DON'T NEED PINK THINGS TO PLAY A GAME. I mean, sure, I have a pink DS lite. But that's it!

    @dncarolyn: Better still, some of us need don't a plastic baseball bat attachment to swing a Wiimote during Wii sports. And how much use would it get? God damn, oil is not a renewable resource people! The relentless avalanche of pointless peripherals for this console is actually quite embarrassing.

    1. *heavy sigh* normally i'd rant about how the color pink is shoveled down girls' throats, but this is a "tween" developer, and supposedly there are girls out there who like pink at that age. i couldn't relate, but viva la différence.


    2. "pink ocean" sounds vaguely dirty.

    As much as I like the color pink, I want it off all things marketed to girls.


    Blue and green are actually my favorite colors, but because I'm a girl, I am marketed PINK things.


    Nintendo, you won't get any hard core gamers by offering pink rackets.

    Ah yes, when they were all white. What a horrible time indeed. Crime rates were up, there was corrupt leaders, mob bosses , and lets not forget white oppression. I think this is a healthy change.
