Source: Numerous reports from the Web, including a report from Canada.com and Spong.com.
The official story: See below.
What we heard: The Nintendo DS isn't an ordinary handheld. With its built in microphone, stylus, and touch screen, the system seems more like a plaything rather than a hardcore gaming machine. In Japan, the DS is also being used to teach users how to use their noggin a bit more with Brain Training for Adults. The game lobs various questions and brainteasers at the player in an effort to help gamers flex their brainpower.
So when reports began to surface about a DS game in development that would help lady gamers stimulate themselves--SCREEEEECH!! What? Yep, stories abound about a game titled Lapis, in which a blue rabbit helps teach females the proper technique towards self-satisfaction.
The concept is simple, rub the bunny the right way and it will eventually fly into the air (and eventually land for a cigarette break, one would assume). Being the complex organism it is, Lapis won't get to flying with simple strokes or repeat maneuvers. What's more, sometimes he won't be in the mood to fly at all, leaving gamers with tired wrists all for naught.
The game was developed by Heather Kelley (picture 2, right), an employee of Ubisoft's Montreal Studios, as part of a competition at the Montreal International Games Summit. The game's subject matter was in part a response to the outcry over the Hot Coffee mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which allowed gamers to enter mini-games that showed the main character fornicating with his in-game girlfriend. Kelley won first prize for her effort.
Before you go out buying new screen protectors for your DS, take note: the game was merely a prototype made for the event. It has not been--nor is it likely to be--officially certified by Nintendo, and is not commercially available. That leaves amorously inclined DS owners with just one T-rated option for dual-screen romance--the dating game XY/XX.
Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus. The game exists alright, but don't EVER expect to see it on shelves.
Damn, DS has such a potential for it... >_>
