Europe Sees Launch of Nintendo DS

Posted by Zonk on from the two-screens,-one-eu dept.

Eurogamer has coverage from last week's launch of the Nintendo DS handheld in the EU. The article covers the improving opinion of the handheld in Europe, and sales are reportedly already going quite well. From the article: "The dual screens were sensibly sized, the touch screen robust and responsive, the stylus well kept, the buttons pretty well distributed, the size and weight of the thing surprisingly comfortable, the list of games as long as your arm and the technical gubbins and service potential far greater than any other handheld." The BBC has details as well.

    They must have gotten an entirely different set of games. Last I checked, there were about 15 or so games for it here in the states, which even in a large typeface would make a list roughly the length of my hand.

    This flies in the face of science.

      It's a typo. It should read "Game list as long as your ARM."

      The DS has two ARM processors; an ARM7 and an ARM9.

      Since there are more than 9 launch games, the list is longer than either ARM.
