I was watching a movie on ganespot.com about Super Mario DS (formally 64x4) and at the end he was using an analog thing you put on your hand and use it with the touch screen. Does anyone know if this will be packaged with the DS, or Super Mario DS, or will you have to buy it seperate? Thanks in advance.

Does the DS just get better and better? :D

Yes, yes it does. Maybe they'll start giving out free gold too.

Well, I should hope so. All the better to make the PSP that much less desirable. LOL

Theres not really a picture of it but the guy uses it in the video on gamespot.com. He has trouble using it tho and its really hard to see so its not really a picture but you get a jist of what it looks like.

The video in question is at the bottom of THIS LIST (http://www.gamespot.com/ds/action/dssupermario4x4/media.html?gcst=mariods_demo1007.asx) at Gamespot. Click on "Gameplay Demonstration" -- he displays the touch device between the 14th and 15th minute of the video, though he apparently can't get it to work during the demo.
It appears to be a little strap-on attachment for your thumb, allowing you to use the center of the touch screen as a surrogate analog stick. Assuming it works, it's a good idea (though I'd still prefer a regular stick).
If nothing else, the rest of that game looks awesome. Just as good as it was back in 1996, and with the option of multiplayer too.
