Final DS Design Revealed

[Stover]

It looks like there's a headpones port on the bottom right. It could be a headphones port, or it could be a DC power input.

Yeah, I'd heard all over that DS WILL have a headphone part. Can anyone give any solid information on this? Supposedly that was for sure.

Anyways, that looks sexy as hell. I'm glad. Now it truly can compete with the PSP visually.

This will fall faster than Virtual Boy for sure.

The only titles (actually title) on your list that has been confirmed for launch is the Mario 64 'Battle' demo, where you will be able to use Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and I believe Wario, Waluigi and probably all the other bunch to fight in a 3D multi-player enviorment. Also what has been confirmed is the 3D Metroid game, originally also just made as a demo for E3. Add this to another 18 Nintendo Internal developed launch games and another 100 games being created at the moment or already DONE by over 100 companies already commited to the system....you might want to give it a chance before you claim it will flop to a system that only saw 6 games at launch, not even a dozen companies trying to make games for it and had far infirior technology for what it was trying to acomplish.

Oh yeah, mind you that you haven't even played any of the games. Unless you were somehow at E3....which I doubt.

They don't hate headphones. They love them. That is they love making us fork over the $20.

So how much longer before they make a hand-held GameCube complete with all the fun games to amuse 10-year olds? It'd be nice when Nintendo grows up. I've seen screenshots of the upcoming zelda and I'm sure it'll just be more of what we've already seen just with different graphics.

I am interested to see if the stylus will be useful, or wind up like the mouse for the snes did, along with all the other peripherals they've tried to use.

-sigh- Another newbie to the board brandishing the 'Nindento Kiddy' stick.

I just never get tired of them. -_-

Boarder: No offense, dude, but I don't think it's Nintendo that needs to grow up here. Especially when the topic at hand is the Nintendo DS's design, which happens to be one of the most stylistic and smart decisions I've seen the big N make in a while.

Ken: I believe they've also announced a new 2D Mario title for the DS that was shown at E3.

well,seeing as how Im poor and all, I wont be getting a ds any time soon, I didnt get an sp even. Though I did have two original advances, I broke them both. Here's a tip for you guys, dont put a gameboy in your pocket and then fall onto the black top, its not a pretty site.

Oh yeah. and there's that too. And that's looking quite fun, where Mario uses Mushrooms to grow to be like 4-5 times his normal size and walk over all his enemies and the terrain. And then the monsters can use mushrooms too!

Its like an entire game in Giant land in Mario 3!

[KefkaTaran]

Ken: It looks quite awesome. And let's just admit, who of us here hasn't yearned for a NEW 2D Mario? 3D Marios? Fine... but we all know he's much more fun in 2D.

Peo: I actually never bought a GBA either. I simply got a Gameboy player which works pretty much just as well. BUT... I don't see that being an option for the DS, so it looks like the DS (and possibly the PSP with it) will be the first handhelds I've ever owned.
