    "The first-party titles will include: Super Mario 64 DS, Pokémon Dash, Big Concert! Band Brothers, Touch! Made in Wario, and Intuitive Stroke."
    No Intuitive Stroke release in the US? Why don't we ever get the cool games? I want my first-party nintendo pr0n, damnit!

  2. Ummm... Wow. by gamgee5273 · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I think this might actually convince me to pick up a DS if it means I can finally get my hands on FFIII.

    I wonder if a DS Player might be in the works for the GameCube? I know that's a longshot, especially considering how the dual screens would have to be set up on a TV screen, but one can hope, can't one?

    Man... FFIII. I hope there's a North American release, dammit.

  3. Summary... by Sentry21 · · Score: 4, Funny

    In a press release today, Nintendo announced that pretty much every game anyone would want will be available at launch. When asked what this would mean for future launches, a spokesperson told reporters, 'Instead of trickling out good releases once or twice a year, we're just going to release them all at once.'

    In other news, the PSP is still delayed, due to unreasonable ambition and poor planning, including low battery life and a poor selection of launch titles. Sony spokespersons remain optimistic despite the facts.

    Reports are now coming in that Nintendo of America has been sighted travelling in the direction of the bank; witnesses in several areas reported laughing, however it is not clear whether Nintendo was laughing all the way, or merely a good portion of the way, to said bank.
