Not Quite Sold On The Ds Yet?

[Flockheart]

What's good about Kimi no Tame Nara Shineru (Feel The Magic) is that you can play with one hand.

SOLD...

[SomeNaiveChump]

SOLD, if you can invert the Y axis on the touchpad for metroid. he appeared to be looking up by moving the pen forwards. headfuck.

[timgp]

It's a Me!

SPLOSH!

Parp! Squeak!

LOL

[futureshock]

That's the future of gaming right there and anybody who can't see it is a blind fool.

Well-the-fuck-done, Nintendo.

...wanking it off?

[Lazychu]

I didn't realise Nintendogs had voice recognition.

Rollover Mushashe!

Lick your balls!

Piss on that guys shoes!

Great.

[Valiant]

Where's that Pacman game gone?

[roskelld]

Anyone manage to work out a link for the Mario video that can be stuck in SDP to download the stream (never cross the stream)?

[Luke]

Where's that Pacman game gone?

Which one?

Pac-Pix or Pac 'n' Roll?

Both look ace!

[CrispinG]

Oh, I'm convinced now. No, really.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

I didn't realise Nintendogs had voice recognition.

Yeah!

get it on import and say:

Kazawa ichi bum mipi doo dah san WOOF WOOF miyagi mazima!

[hub2]

Which one?

Pac-Pix or Pac 'n' Roll?

Both look ace!

Whats Pac'n'Roll, I've only seen Pac-Pix, er pics, recently?

[Luke]

Whats Pac'n'Roll, I've only seen Pac-Pix, er pics, recently?

It's a 3D sort of PacMan game where you roll PacMan round by spinning him using the stylus.

That probably doesn't help at all. I saw a video of it quite recently though (in with a bunch of other games).

Two questions:

Is the screen going to be as stupidly dark as the Advance?

And what kind of battery life are we talking about here?

45 minutes. An hour with the backlight turned off.

[DarhkFox]

I hope nintendogs gets released here, i think to the mass market it could sell quite well. At least to little girls.

[Smitty]

45 minutes. An hour with the backlight turned off.

Seriously? That's awful.

[CrispinG]

Seriously? That's awful.

Nah, I'm tugging on your cock.

[rjpageuk]

Battery life is 6 - 10 hours.

[hub2]

Seriously? That's awful.

~8 hours IIRC.

[Smitty]

Uh, I thought so.

Hmmm, this could be the first handheld I ever buy.

[Luke]

Whats Pac'n'Roll, I've only seen Pac-Pix, er pics, recently?

OK, the two Pac-Man games are at the start of this video:

[Chopsocky]

What I want to know is where is the secret DS title Miyamoto was supposed to be working on, codename Buzz? Also it seems a shame we won't be getting some of the wackier games Japan is getting at launch.

[patriot]

metroid and mario have sold me. mario just looks amazing. i probobly would have paid for a straight port cause im a fan-boy, but mario just seems to look even better than it did on the n64. i don't know why people were talking about the sega game so much, there wasn't much to see from the video. is there any other info about it?

[Davros sock drawer]

I've watched the Mario video, and I'm afraid I'm not even remotely sold. You guys are welcome to get excited about Mario 64 on a handheld (with new bits), but try as I might, I just don't feel even a twinge of excitement.

Put simply, I've already played Mario 64. To death. I want something 100% new.

[Reynard]

Spiderman 2 looks like a right shambles.

[Jack]

Spiderman 2 looks like a right shambles.

But it's REGGIE'S favourite game of the lot!

[phresh]

I'll buy this purely because I am a Nintendo whore......

As for the lack of an analogue stick, it is slightly worrying how easy it will be to cope playing 3D games without one, but on the other hand analogue sticks wear very quickly. It's easy enough to replace a joypad, but replacing an analogue stick in a hand-held console...thats a different matter.

I really like the idea of the thumb stylus, it should allow a more normal grip of the console than using the normal stylus, although it will induce the 'looking like a twat' feeling I expect.

[Icebox]

Looks excellent. I can't wait to get a DS.

In Ask the Forum someone said that they are region free - is this definite?
