The Daisy Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Tiger Woods DS info at IGN. It'll be interesting to see how they use the stylus for the swing meter. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Jump!

JFo Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 There's an article at USA Today that spells out some details concerning the launch of the DS. As far as the games go, here's what it says: Though the final lineup has not been determined, Nintendo expects to have eight to 10 games ready ? including such familiar names as Mario 64 DS, The URB: Sims in the City, Madden NFL and Spider-Man 2, as well as new titles such as Asphalt GT ? when it launches Nov. 21. The DS will cost $149.99, games $29.99. More information will surely come out later today as Nintendo announces the full details of the launch. I, for one, am very happy to see games priced at $30 apiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 IGN today posted a couple of things. First is the Launch title lineup and also Nintendos First Party Lineup close to the DS launch Launch Lineup NES First Party Lineup Advance Wars on the DS. My intrest is now highly peaked capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I can see myself picking up Advance Wars DS, Mario 64 DS,and Viewtiful Joe DS right away. If there is 802.11b support, I can see myself picking up a few of the others to take on a few of you guys. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy liquid Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Another article at 1Up: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3135200 I'm happy to see it confirmed that the PictoChat software is built into the system, as well as the $29.99 price for the games. However: Today's announcement doesn't nail down a specific price point for DS software. The lower limit, however, will be $29.99, suggesting that some titles may reach higher console-esque price points. Games I'll purchase on launch for sure: Feel the Magic XY/XX Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits Rayman DS Super Mario 64 DS I'll have to wait and see on some of the others..

heavy liquid Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 The home page for Mizuguchi's DS game: "Meteos" is now open! http://planetmeteos.com/ looks like you're playing Asteriods and Tetris at the same time... :? There's also a nice update with sceenshots and descriptions of many DS games at 1Up: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3135202 Meteos: Another Bandai-published project from Rez creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Meteos blends block-dropping puzzle action with some other curious gameplay elements -- apparently, the goal is to eventually launch all your blocks back up into orbit. Definitely a game to look out for, even if it doesn't look quite so visually sharp as Mizuguchi's PSP game Lumines. The game's design also features contributions from HAL Labs veteran and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai.

Camp Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 GameSpot is reporting a port of the classic Final Fantasy III coming to the DS in Japan. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/10/07/news_6109869.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy liquid Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Yeah, I'm not entirely sold on Meteos, or even Lumines for that matter. I'll need to see more or maybe try them out. I'm hoping they're good! "Another" is another game that looks really promising. I don't know if it's a launch title or not. Love the look: Another (Tentative Title): An odd title for an odd game. Another is a graphical adventure, where a young girl named Ashley finds herself at loose ends in a secret government research facility on Blood Edward Island. Her mother is killed in an accident, while her father, a researcher, goes missing. The game uses all of the DS interface features to let the player explore and navigate a 3D world -- the touch screen and microphone among them. The top screen shows the environment and characters, while the bottom screen offers objects and commands to interact with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy liquid Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Nice to see Goemon showing up on the DS. I think the last Goemon was on the N64? The style of the game looks great: Feel the Magic XY/XX (Sega) is another game that looks really cool, although I'm not really sure what's going on: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I think the last Goemon was on the N64? Nope, there was one released for the PS2 in Japan. Was utterly terrible - "my first 3D" style. Working Designs signed it up & SCEA refused them a licence for it in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan FB Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Am I the only one who's really hyped about Animal Crossing DS? IGN has some screenshots, and a video as well. This game will definitely benefit from the touchpad, and the game is just rife with possibilities for multiplayer (although if it's just local DS-to-DS, I doubt I'll ever get a chance to try it :cry:).

Ooh, this does sound very tempting. I like the sound of this: players can doodle up their own designs using the touch-sensitive screen This game so needs to be online, the code trading system was cool, but online should be a lot better. Visiting other's towns should be great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I'm very excited about Animal Crossing DS, but it needs multiplayer to help those of us who want to grow different kinds of trees without having to punch in all of those codes.

The Daisy Posted October 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 The DS will be able to "download" games from another DS, so games will just need one cartridge for multiplayer. Link at Gamespot. Also talk of downloadable game demos from stores in the future. Pretty good news there. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Internet Animal Crossing will put this on my higher priority list. Of course, wireless Four Swords also has that certain charm one hopes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Last official mention from nintendo was you couldnt play online . However there has been a rumor that the folks at warp pipe are working on something to let you do it. All speculation at this point capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan FB Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 The good folks over at Penny Arcade have some hands-on impressions of the DS and the bundled Metroid demo from the Nintendo Gamer's Summit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 I'm getting it anyways, but internet play with Animal Crossing would be fantastic. As if the first wasn't addicting enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
