November release for DS?

Of course, that's considering they make internet gameplay possible and not put all their eggs in the "We'd rather consentrate on offline wireless gameplay" basket...

On a side note, Double Dash's tracks were the worse of any Mario Kart out there. All of Mario Kart DS's tracks better be brand new.

I just read Reagie's latest speech at IGN.com... Pretty interesting. Has me jazzed up for the DS more than I was an hour ago. Now, show us some software already. -_-;

I'd like to see a little more software before I jump all over it...but I do have the money ready ...

I think I may actually buy a GBA SP once it hits $50. On the other hand I'm never going to buy one of these crazy DS thingamajigs, since it would go against my "No Next-Next-Gen Console" pledge.

$200? That's just plain wacky.

RUMOR: Gameindustry.biz reported that Nintendo of America is planning to launch the Nintendo DS in North America before the US Thanksgiving day on November 11, for $179.95. A Japanese launch will take place one week ahead of US release on November 4, for 19000 yen.

I read at IGN that November is the month as well. I plan on getting one sometime, I've read that the screen is backlit in a way that doesn't wash out the colors like the SP and having four face buttons is also nice. It's just a matter of when some worthwhile games come along.

i thought frontlit screen(like the GBA SP) are the type that washes out colors, not the backlit ones!


i'll be inline to grab the first DS

Hmmm... it WOULD be nice to see a little more than E3's 'big' showing.

Don't hit us all at once Nintendo...

So the whole gaming world was impressed......but not you.

[Diff-chan]

Sorry, but it takes more to impress me than N64 technology, a stupid gimmick (where the best we've seen of it is "gameplay on top, map on bottom"... wooo), and a lame same-old same-old lineup of Nintendo games to impress me.

$200? I'll wait and see how it does with releases through the holiday season, unless something really kickass is out right away.
