E3 - Nintendo Shows DS Details, Realistic Zelda

An anonymous reader writes "Following the earlier leak of Nintendo DS pictures, there are hands-on details regarding Nintendo's handheld console over at GameSpot - Cube-Europe also has a list of Nintendo's first-party DS games, including 'Animal Crossing DS, Mario Kart DS, Metroid Prime: Hunters, a new Super Mario Bros game, Super Mario 64X4, and WarioWare Inc. DS'." Elsewhere, xDCDx writes "Nintendo just showed at their E3 conference a trailer of the new Zelda game for the Gamecube [there are also screenshots available], this time using a more mature visual look, rather than a cel-shaded one."

    including 'Animal Crossing DS, Mario Kart DS, Metroid Prime: Hunters, a new Super Mario Bros game, Super Mario 64X4, and WarioWare Inc. DS'.

    For a moment, I thought Nintendo was still milking Mario like there's no tomorrow. I'm so glad they're moving on and producing entirely new fun games, like Zelda...

    You know, I was just over reading Gamespot, thinking, "Damn, their site is slow, they don't usually have problems like this..." After a couple timeouts, got fed up, come over to Slashdot. "Oh, that's why..." =)

    They need to come up with some better suspense building taglines to go along with their cool looking game. Seriously.

    the castle looks a little blocky,

    Could that be because you normally build a castle out of stone blocks?

    Just wondering...

    Oh, I already know what I will pwn. The DS. If the PSP pwns, then I shall pwn it, too-- but only if the games are worth pwning. But for now, I will sell the GBA SP that I already pwn (for I also pwn the Game Boy player for the Gamecube, which I've pwned for close to two years now) and then put down a preorder on the DS, so I can be the very first on my block to pwn it.

    God dammit, that hurt my eyes to type....
