Nintendo DS Launches

Posted by Zonk on from the dualing-marios dept.

The DS system has launched today, allowing everyone with a interest in dual screen action to get their fill. Gamespy has a Beginner's Guide to the system available, while Gamespot has a detailed page reviewing the system and some of the first games available. Bionic_Baboon wrote in with a press release about the sale of the system at EB Games on Businesswire.

    ...editors, please please fix that headline. Someone might read it, you know.

    Hint: The company is actually called Nintendo.

    It's almost exactly two GBA SPs next to eachother.

    I got one this morning too. My only real complaint is that I think it should have had an analog stick. The touch pad works well in Metroid Prime Hunters, but it just doesn't do it for me in Mario 64. The analog stick just worked better. Or have made the directional pad analog (like the buttons on the PS2).

    Still, great little system. I can't wait for more games!

    DS is a third system not a replacement for the GBA according to nintendo. Basically, they will still be introducing a ton of new GBA games, and DS games too.

    It is only compatible with GBA games, not the old Gameboy and Gameboy Color games.
