Official Nintendo DS Pack-In Game
Information 09/21/2004 03:02 PM

A couple of updates on the Nintendo DS launch bundle - straight from the horses mouth, too, so you can quote us on this. First of all, the PictoChat software will be built in to the firmware itself; it's not a separate game cartridge. Secondly, there will be a game bundled with the DS, sort of. Called Metroid Prime: Hunters: First Hunt, it will be a demo showing the first level or two of the upcoming DS game Metroid Prime: Hunters (like the Metroid game demo'd at E3, but "better," so they say). So there you have it - the official bundled pack in will have a demo of First Hunt, but not a full-blown game.

And there's no official word on the Voice-Over-IP capabilities of the DS from Nintendo yet, but that doesn't mean something isn't happening behind the scenes.

Nintendo Shows Final DS Design 07/28/2004 07:52 AM

One of the major complaints about the Nintendo DS after its showing at E3 was that it ugly as all hell, and while I sort of thought people were overreacting just a little, I can't say I was upset when Nintendo unveiled this final hardware design of a much more angular and adult-looking DS. Nintendo has confirmed that "DS" will be the official name of the unit, as well, and it should ship in Japan around November 4th for around €140 (~$170) and follow in the US a week later for just a little more. The DS also has been confirmed to include actual stereo sound without headphones and an integrated storage place for the stylus.

Now as soon as we see what the launch titles are, we should be able to tell if this is going to be hot or not. (Thanks, Mark!)

Nintendo announces "Electric Blue" DS 04/19/2005 11:33 AM
Nintendo on Tuesday announced a new colour, Electric Blue, for the Nintendo DS. The new colour will debut in June and will join the original "Titanuim" silver and black version of the portable gaming device. "This eye-catching new color comes at an ideal time," Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications George Harrison said. "Nearly 2 million Nintendo DS owners in North America alone have demonstrated they want something new from a hand-held video game system. Soon, consumers will have two popular choices for the innovative dual-screened Nintendo DS, which features touch-screen control, voice recognition and wireless play." The company will also release two new DS games in June: Meteos and Kirby: Canvas Curse.

Nintendo DS 12/19/2004 03:46 PM

The hype machine has been hot and heavy for the Nintendo DS. Of course there's always the excitement about a brand-new gaming console, whether it's a handheld or home unit. But the DS — the Dual Screen — is something altogether new. We managed to get our hands on one and let game reviewer Ben Kuchera give it a good rogering.

So I didn't know what to think when I hit the town looking for a Nintendo DS. Like most of us I was skeptical of the unit at first, the idea of a handheld with two screens and touch capabilities seemed too gimmicky, almost as if Nintendo was getting into the PDA market. Sony seemed ready to take the handheld crown from Nintendo with specs that were more initially impressive.

The result? Well, we're not going to spill the beans here, but let's just say he was pleasantly surprised. Want more detail? Read on...

Nintendo DS to Have Wi-Fi Voice Over IP

Nintendo DS to Have Wi-Fi Voice Over IP 08/31/2004 03:07 PM

Information has come out about Nintendo's upcoming DS handheld's ability to serve as a voice-over-IP handset, allowing DS gamers to make phone calls when connected to a Wi-Fi access point. There's no word if the service will allow DS users to call other, regular phones or not. Knowing Nintendo, it's probably more likely that DS users will be able to chat to other DS users, and not serve as an actual phone. (Thanks, John!)
