It appears to be related to the below picture of Athena from Geek Girls Online enjoying her DS while nude. The funny thing is, they did not seem to have a problem with a barely dressed girl playing the Wii Fit on youtube which got millions of views immediately following the release of the Wii Fit. (Also see below) I think Nintendo will need to come to terms with the fact that a large portion of their audience has grown up and are going to do sexy things with their products.
