DS Coming Soon | NDS |
|
> November 21, 2004 is DS-day in America. Nintendo's DS is their
latest portable console, which features a touch functional dual screen
setup, and will sell for $149.99. Included in the purchase price
is a built-in playable demo of Metroid Prime: Hunters, and PictoChat (a
wireless messaging/drawing software). Expected launch titles are
Super Mario 64x4, Activision's Spider-Man 2, and some of EA's line-up (The
Urbz, Madden NFL, Tiger Woods PGA Golf, NFS Underground, and Goldeneye).
One of the most interesting facts of the DS launch is that, for the first
time in Nintendo's history, the North American launch will precede the
Japanese launch on December 2.
