When we first heard Nintendo was planning on releasing a headset for the DS, we totally asked Nintendo "what's the haps, man? What do you need a headset for?" Nintendo promptly responded by slapping us in the face with a thick manilla envelope. Inside said envelope, a large glossy print of the headset. First, we cried a little, then we wondered about the ways in which the headset could improve the performance of the DS, not asking Nintendo out of fear of another act of violence coming our way.

Over at Game Watch, you'll see the headset is photographed in revealing, contorting positions, both alone and physically hooked into DS Phat and Lite alike. Also, a shot of the headset resting on a person's ear makes it look much more comfortable than other headsets made by other gaming companies. Of course, we're just speculating not having touched this headset nor having had it rest upon our ear.

Sure, the obvious things such as chat in Metroid Prime Hunters come to mind, but where else is this headset actually essential? Follow the post after the break for all of the pictures of the headset from Game Watch.
