Monster Hunter Tri – Mammoth
Ironbeard McCullough says, "Ya know, I can understand why the wee museum qwould try t' upsell their creatures. After all, how else are they gunna attract their audiences. But come *on*, lads and lassies! That "great mammoth" is nothin' more than an oversized plush toy!
Fer an actual beastie, ya need look no further than Monster Hunter Tri, where ya'll find all forms of massive beasties that wouldna even *fit* in one of the museum wings. Now I'd pay admission t' *that*!" -

Miyamoto wants to get DS into classrooms (with permission)
Ahhh, grammar school -- there was nothing quite like trying to hide that GBA under the desk in fear of Mrs. Rosencrantz confiscating our portal into Pokémon Fire Red. Back then, handheld games were little more than an obvious distraction in the eyes of our ruler-equipped teachers, but Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto plans on changing all of that. Speaking with the Associated Press in an interview recently, the legendary game developer explained his latest devotion: bringing the Nintendo DS and Wii into schools. He said that the DS would be making its way into "junior high and elementary schools in Japan starting in the new school year" (beginning this April).
Miyamoto didn't get too specific on how his company's consoles would help Japanese students with their education, only detailing it as part of Nintendo's initiative to expand the audience for gaming consoles. We have to imagine that the kids won't be using them to decide whether or not Resident Evil 4 on Wii is the best version (besides, we all already know that it is). Thankfully for our unborn children, Miyamoto didn't mention any amorphous plans to bring gaming consoles into North American schools just yet. Presumably they'll have to play it fast and loose like we did -- keeps 'em sharp!
