Uh oh! Only a few more days until Christmas and you're still racking your brain on what to get that special geek in your life. Don't fret, we have some last-minute gift ideas you can pick up at any electronics superstore!
For the Kids:
It's time you faced facts; getting a Nintendo Wii this late in the game is about as plausible as a discussion about birth control in the Spears household. Instead of waiting in endless lines, pick up the Nintendo DS portable gaming device. It still has the kid-friendly games like the Wii, but isn't in high demand. The best part is that when you are able to finally secure a Wii, the Nintendo DS will be able to talk to it with the latest Pokemon games.
The Teenager:
They can bug you all they want, but you're not going to throw down $400 for an iPhone. Sure it's the greatest iPod ever made, but it's also the most expensive. Instead, pick up an iPod nano. This small little digital powerhouse can be had for $150 and plays MP3s and videos. They get their music and videos -- and you get to pay the rent.
The Adult:
Regardless of how geeky your friend my be, deep inside they still harbor the dream of being a tech-savvy Picasso who has yet to find his or her medium. Here comes the low cost Flip Video Ultra. For $150 you get an easy to use camcorder that fits in your pocket and shoots surprisingly good quality video. The camcorder works with both Windows and Mac, and comes with simple software that allows the budding nerd artistes to share their masterpieces.

Nintendo decided to forgo the young hipster spokesperson for their United Kingdom release of "More Brain Training." Instead, the game maker opted for a more sophisticated approach.
Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman appears in the UK television commercial for the game, trying to improve her brain score. The game judges your brain score by utilizing a plethora of mini games that help activate your brain. Nicole's brain score of 52 is 12 years higher than her current age of 40. Perhaps it takes a while to get those Scientology sessions out of the system.
If this is a sign of things to come from Nintendo ads, can gamers soon expect the Jessica Alba "Mario Bros." commercial?

Trying to catch them all is more difficult than we originally thought!
Pokemon is back with a vengeance -- on the Nintendo DS handheld console -- and they're kicking off the debut of two new Pokemon titles, Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl, with a huge party at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Thousands are expected at the Nintendo World Store to celebrate the April 22 arrival of the already wildly popular games, which have racked up pre-sales of more than 500,000 units!
The new titles allow players to wirelessly battle with their friends, utilizing built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, and to chat using the DS Microphone. Online interaction with other gamers is limited to designated friends.

What do you give the hilarious talk show host who has everything? If you're Nintendo, you give him the mental training he needs to stay at the top of his game.
For his 60th birthday (!), "The Late Show" star David Letterman got a special present from Nintendo -- a copy of the video game "Brain Age," and a Nintendo DS hand-held console on which to play it.
"Brain Age" works out your gray matter with a variety of brain-stimulating activities specially selected by Japanese neuroscientist Dr. Ryuta Kawashima -- including memorizing words that appear on screen, quickly performing simple math problems, reading classic literature as fast as possible, plus everyone's favorite number game, Sudoku.
Nintendo even sent Dave's mom a version of the game so they can see who's sharpest in the family. Expect a "Top Ten Reasons Why Dave's Mom Beat Him at Brain Age" soon.
