I pre-ordered my Nintendo DS at my local EB today. I was worried about how Nintendo has a habit of trickling out hardware for any new launches -- and the manager confirmed for me that their pre-order quota (people promised to get a DS with the first shipment) is just about filled.

The system will come with a demo for the new Metroid Prime Echos as well as a simple pack in game.

Here's the list of DS games which will be available with the system:

Asphalt: Urban GT (racing game)
Feel the Magic (no clue, possible RPG?)
Mr. Driller: Drill Spirts
Ping Pals (no clue)
Rayman
Ridge Racer
Spiderman 2
Super Mario 64 DS
NFL Madden 2005
Urbz: Sims in the City

And games coming out shortly after:
Advance Wars DS (January 11)
Animal Crossing (January 11)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles DS (Feb 8)
Frogger DS (Feb 8)
Goldeneye: Rogue Agent DS (Feb 8)
Mario Kart DS (Januray 11)
Metroid Prime Hunters (January 11)
Need for Speed: Underground (Feb 8)
Super Mario Brothers DS (January 11)
Viewtiful Joe (Feb 8)
Wario Ware DS (Jan 11)
Yoshi's Touch and Go (Jan 11)

And somewhere in there is Final Fantasy 3, a Castlevania game, and probaly a Metal Gear game.

Mostly sequels and remakes, but enough good quality stuff in there to warrent a buy.
