@Pedobear. and you are creepier than jabba the huts anus
I facepalm subconsciously.

They should have an 88 key option.
@Anguigen
That'll cost just as much as buying a decent beginner's synthesizer ;)
@Anguigen
lol, that would more be like a keyboard with a DS attachment.
@horchata
If they can make toy piano's for less than $20, why can't they make an 88 key version?
@ipaduser
It's not a question of if they can make it, but why. Consider the context of things- this is an attachment for the DS, and not some keyboard that is separate in and of itself. Also consider the context of this post thread, which was suppose to be sarcastic. -_-
It looks like the ds has a third layer.
Reminds me of stairs and their adding a new step.
Dumb.
I'm sorry, but tapping on tiny 13 keys is NOT a piano lesson.
@thejdude It's not intended to be full-blown piano lessons. It's an introduction to music creation for young people, to possibly stimulate their interest in taking proper piano lessons later on. It's a damn site more educational that just playing Guitar Hero.
There's an app for that.
You chose Tchaikovsky as your example of a pianist? Weird.
@Marbles I would have cited Rachmaninoff myself. Or Chopin.
@Cydoniac
Both of those sound much better.
@Marbles Or even Trio, for that matter.
@Marbles I take it you were expecting a bigger pianist?
So we started with real physical buttons/keys on older systems, to virtual buttons on touchscreens the DS, iPhone and some other devices, and now back to real physical keys?
What is old is new again.
There truly is a seat for every ass.
Guess we don't have many nintendo fanboys here
Buy 'em a harmonica. It's cheaper and its more fun.
Wow that is pretty dumb... If you want to play the piano then get a piano with the money you would spend on that awkward thing.

mhhhhh, Jedi to contentedness has to focus not on Easy Piano, Easy Piano is the path to the dark side, Easy Piano leeds to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
mhhhh
Dork you Are
Wait, didn't you give little Anakin an Easy Piano for Life Day?
This explains many things.
Seems cool enough. I can see parents buying into this and kids getting creative with it. also look like the GBA slot is needed. DSi & DSi XL fail.
is there mid support? =D
I own this. You can't even play Tetris/DrMario/Zelda music on it. The software is horribly unintuitive.
Tchaikovskies
Or parents can get their kids an actual keyboard for about 50 dollars, and a piece of learn-to-play software or a dvd for about 20 bucks more. This is really stupid. Even worse than that Nintendo keyboard that was about about 100 years ago.
