New Nintendo DS Attracts Worldwide Developer Interest; Major Publishers Create Games for Industry's Most Innovative Device
E3Expo 2004
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 6, 2004--The video game industry's biggest and best game developers are lining up to be the first to create innovative content for Nintendo's upcoming dual-screen hand-held innovation, code-named Nintendo DS.
"Nintendo DS is going to push hand-held technology to uncharted territories," says Yves Blehaut, senior vice president of Atari. "It's going to energize both developers and consumers with amazing new game mechanics and new game design. Once more, Nintendo leads the way with something unexpected and totally innovative."
To date, more than 100 companies worldwide have received software development kits and are planning games for Nintendo DS, which for the first time offers gamers two separate perspectives on the action. Companies include THQ, Electronic Arts, Activision, Atari, Ubisoft, Majesco, Capcom, Sega, Konami, Hudson Soft, Namco, Bandai, Koei and Square Enix, to name a few.
"The Nintendo dual screen is something that we're really excited about developing for," says Nick Earl, vice president and general manager of Electronic Arts. "It's very innovative, which is classic Nintendo."
Nintendo DS will revolutionize how people approach, perceive and enjoy video games, while including additional options that enhance the game-play experience.
"It's exciting to see so many publishers are as inspired about the Nintendo DS as we are," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "The creative contributions of the publishers will reinforce Nintendo's reputation as the industry's leader in innovation."
In effect, thanks to the success of the wildly popular Game Boy(R) franchise, Nintendo owns the current hand-held video game market: The Game Boy line has sold more than 168 million units worldwide during the past 15 years. And with the introduction of the revolutionary Nintendo DS, Nintendo's dominance is certain to continue in the future.
The Nintendo DS will be unveiled at the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), May 12 to May 14 in Los Angeles. The Nintendo DS remains on track to launch before the end of the year.
...woah.
Well, looks like Nintendo managed to get damn near everyone behind this thing. Good on 'em. Excitement +10.
Well, what can I say, I'll be heading over to the Nintendo booth right after the big Sega announcement on day one to finally check this thing out. I'll post impressions later on.
I eagerly await a mod to put this thing on two large RGB monitors. :D
Pst. Hey. Nintendo. Nothing says "dual screens" like Punchout! C'mon. You know you want to.
Punchout and a PlayChoice 10 Emulator :)

I heard that if you trade with the Nintendo DS it will scam you for your money, then make wise cracks about it like it's no big deal.
It might also change its name and return like nothing happened after a prolonged absense.
Atleast, that's what I read at gamefaqs.
itll also get your girlfriend pregnant then hit her in the gut with a baseball bat and push her down a flight of stairs.
