    Default Nintendo DS -- Preorder and Launch Games

    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.

    Yep, I reserved my system last night at Babbage's. They weren't able to reserve games yet though. I wanted to go ahead and reserve Mario 64 for starters.
    The title's that are available definately warrant a buy. Even if alot or some are remakes.

    I just thought of something which is getting WAY AHEAD of things, but it will definately be cool if Nintendo sometime in the future makes a DS Player for the Gamecube, like the GB player for the Gamecube.

    Has anyone seen any screenshots of Rayman? I've already preordered my system with Mr. Driller and Mario 64 at EBGames.com, but I'm considering getting Rayman too.

    I don't think there is any screenshots of Rayman yet for some reason, even though it's suppossed to be released at launch I think??
    I want to see them to, no matter what i plan on buying Rayman DS too, haven't been dissapointed with one yet.

    sighs.
    *goes back to his cave to write his manifesto against nintendo*
    I'm holding out until I find out if Super Mario Brothers DS is going to be the sidescrolling mario i've been waiting for, or a (not so super) mario 64 sequel, in crappy 3d. At this point, the only title that looks to be more than "meh" is goldeneye.....
    Nintendo had best not put the lid on the GBA's can quite yet. That's all i can say.

    Super Mario Brothers DS is a side scroller like the old school games. Judging by the pics and video footage the game seems to be the same idea but with updated graphics (maybe 2.5D?). Certainly with models rather than sprites for the main characters. It looks pretty groovy

    Oh, Feel the Magic is the American name of the Japanese game I Would Die For You, a game that was talked about in a major topic here.

    I'm surprised to see that game is coming out in the States!

    Okay, what's the Ping Pals game?

    Anyone know if I missed any games? The list was taken from what the manager at my local EB printed off for me.

    Oh, most of the 'launch' games are listed as coming out a few days before the actuall system on 11/21.

    I'm waiting for colored DS systems to be released before getting mine. I'm tired of grey, black, silver, and white systems! Some of the games (like Feel The Magic) make me very tempted to pick it up at launch...

    There is really cool footage from Nintendo's Press Conference on the 7th. It shows one of N's programmers showing off the new Mario 64x4 - it really is pretty cool. You can play as Yoshi, Wario etc and even Bowser! There is loads of extra wee touches and extra levels. If I find the URL again I'll post it.

    How would that work, consdering the DS is supposed to utilize this "revolutionary" stylus?

    Do we go back to light pens? I always dug that back in the Apple ][ days.

    Maybe you could have an adaptor similar to the GBA Player but cut down. You could just connect the DS you own to the 'Cube/DS Player and use it as a controller for the TV display. I reckon most people who own a GBA Player own a GBA so I can't see the fact that you would need a DS for a DS Player being that much of a problem. It would just be cool to play the games on a big screen

    DAMN, I never thought of that. Well ok, maybe nintendo will make it for the "new" system, the revolution. They did saw it's going to focus more on revolutionizing the systems and put out a system that does something different.

    Or like Pedro said, make something like the GBA connectivity thing.
