Nintendo DS

[Melf]

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.

I read at IGN that everyone will see through the act and the DS will still not be able to make threads in Trade Depot and is on everyone's shit list. I also read that anyone who uses a link cable with it is doing so at their own risk.

I don't mind a new system every 5 years. This'll be like the 3rd in 3 years.

Funny how Sega's mishandling of three closely-released platforms is what many attribute to being the downfall of the company, yet Nintendo seems like they're going to very easily get away with people buying the GBA v 3.0..

Three?! Sega was at one point simultaneously pushing Genesis, Game Gear, Sega CD, 32X, 32X CD, Pico, arcade platforms (Model 1, System 32, etc) and had Saturn on the horizon. Nintendo's done 3 platforms before, usually in generation shifts granted but there've also been "other" format experiments like Famicom Disc, Virtual Boy, BS-X, 64DD or Pokemon Mini.

From what I understand, Nintendo DS development is being increased internally at the expense of GameBoy Advance though. This might not be the 'next GameBoy" but it seems to be getting it's resources. :/

According to Quiter, Square-Enix is to have a title ready for Nintendo DS launch. According to the news, the title will be shown at Nintendo's press conference official unveiling of NDS, and will also be playable at Nintendo's booth.

oh, and it seems like they might end up sticking with the DS name.


that's the logo they're using as of now.

Excellent, looks like it's definetly vertical if the O in Nintendo and its shadow are any indication.

[Johnny Nighttrain]

there it is. im a bit disapointed by the design. i was hoping for something a bit more sleeker, and will, something that just looked cooler.

anyways, seems like Mario Kart is on the system, and apparently it's slightly more powerful than the N64.

Hey, the shoulder buttons are on the face, that's cool. I thought it was said the two screens could be alligned to make one giant screen, guess that's not happening.

[MVS]

I see nothing that lives up to the hype nor makes me recant my previous bitterness and overall meh.

4 face buttons, YAY!

It's extremely old school in design. The black background on both screens is an extremely good idea; but the large gap between the screens is horrible, it kills all dreams of vertical shooters or large screen games. Here's hoping that you can slide the screens together. And so I guess from the looks of things the bottom screen is the touch screen.
