If you didn't bother to read all that, here's what was up there in a nutshell- -Launch Date in U.S.-Nov.21 -One color, black and silver, with more expected to come out somewhere around Christmas -Preloaded with MP-Hunters and ?Pictochat?(I can;t confirm, some people say yes some say no) -120 games in development, 25 by Christamas, 12 At launch or week after launches end. However, themn bundling a MP-Hunters Demo might be a foreshadowing that Big N won't have that many launch games... -BIG NEWS! 30$ games! Looks like that deal with memory card manufactureres paid off. Instead of the usual 50$ a game, gamers would pay 40$ TOPS. However, thats not guaranteed, as some game developers are greedy.... -Backwards compatible with GBA, but not older GB and Color games. *sob sob* but i loved pokemon blue.....not..... I still don't know the exact date for the release of flashcarts. Buy DS, or I'll flog your torso!

So is there an instant messanger type thing on it? Or would you have to have internet or somethin for that...although i heard the wireless part was only for like 30ft or somethin. Nice info though. |

ty muchly, lifeless. Hey, btw, can you please remove "fu ckaz" from your siggy? instant messanger is called pictochat. Its basically Aim between DS's with the ability to draw pictures using the touch screen and the stylus. I don't know if it'll be bundled with DS or not, whehter it will be part of the pre-installed software, because some sources sayn yes, and ssome fail to mention it, but my guess is yes. 30 ft is the guaranteed effective range of the DS, through walls and such, but under optimal conditions(open place, low electromagnetic interference) it's said to be able to stretch to over `100 ft! Internet....thats a touchy topic. you need to have a good computer vocabulary to understand the following- DS runs on a Wi-Fi interface, much like most home networks. If you bring your wireless-card-equipped laptop close to a Wi-Fi point, preferably at a public spot (say, at a McDonalds or Starbucks), your laptop displays that you are in a "hot spot". This means you can connect to the WiFi router and surf the internet, usually for a fee, or at some locales, free, but you still have to pay your provider(although some establishments offer free internet using their own provider). Now, a DS has the same capabilities, however, the software that tells you that your in a hot spot on the computer, !might not! come pre-installed with the DS. Maybe it wll be, we got over one and a half months to see. But Nintendo says it's "not planning to write software for internet capabilities....but if another developer wants to.....*winks* ". So what they said is that they won't support it, but the DS welcomes it with open hands. Rom writers unite! Flashcards all the way! BTW, this may be off-topic, but with PSP boasting that it can play movies and music....I can play Movies and music right off my GBA-SP. All I do is download the said movie or music file through a converter into the flashcart, and believe me, the quality is pretty good for both. Also, with flashcards you can write and rewrite, but if you somehow manage to burn one of those PSP disks, your stuck with it.

I'm really looking forward to Animal Crossing, even though I won't have enough money to get a DS right away. Hopefully I'll be getting a job this winter, so I can buy one after the first price drop down to $140, or whatever. And Lifeless, you do know one of our rules we want you to abide by is the language filter, so don't try to sneak your way around it. |

Being able to play DS online is going to be awesome, but of cource... you'll need to be at a Wi-Fi spot to be able to do so. Of cource, it'll be absolutely free to play online... since Nintendo guarantees they will never charge gamers for playing online (that fact is also their reasoning for not taking the cube online... they don't wish to charge their consumers). All this DS news has got me excited. I'm hearing good things about Spiderman 2 (believe it or not), and I'm planning on getting Mario 64 DS and Animal Crossing DS when I get the system. I'm also thinking about getting Metroid Prime: Hunters and Yoshi's Touch & Go. Here's somre newly released details on Super Mario 64 DS...

So whats Yoshi Touch n Go? And uhh for the instant messaging thing, i just dont get how it'd be worth it if it only works in a 100 ft range. If the person's that close...couldnt you just TALK to them?.. And yall admins...dont act like you've never said a cuss on this board... |

idk, never really heard an admin cuss..... anywayz, it will be usefull in class, through walls, and 100ft is pretty much. Also, the IM is mainly for seeing who is in the vacinity, and deciding which game to play....silently |
