DS gets direction-sensing for star gazing title

You use your DS for everything: playing games, learning languages, making music, conversing with friends… drawing dicks. Why not use it to chart the heavens?

A new Japanese DS title called Hoshizora Navi (Star Sky Navigator) charts the night sky, helping you identify stars and planets and other heavenly beings. It’s not a game so much as a geeky tool. Siliconera says that this tool charts 9,300 stars, planets, suns, and moons from 1900 to 2099. I imagine someone spinning around on a hilltop with a DS in their face, with others looking on thinking what the hell is that guy doing?

There’s tech inside the DS card that senses direction, sending the signal to the software. This lets Hoshizora Navi adjust the on-screen maps accordingly. 

You’d really have to like the sky and stars to pay the 8,190 yen ($92) asking price, though.
