<div class="IPBDescription">This is a poster-fueled thread</div> They had a Nintendo DS sitting on display in Best Buy and I got to play it. I would have to say that it's freaking awesome.

Anyone have any questions?

    Well actually, how is Super Mario 64DS? That's the game I'm getting first. Is pictochat pretty cool too?

    1) How did it feel in your hands?
    2) Did the control feel ok? specially the touchscreen?
    3) Can I touch you? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    All they had was the metroid demo (it's all that comes with the DS.)

    1) It felt invigorating. And it controlled pretty well. ABXY buttons seemed a little small but that's probably for size constraints.
    2) The touchscreen was perfect. In the metroid demo you can simply touch enemies to shoot them and it was pretty accurate. My only gripe is that the buttons are a little small but it'll simply take some getting used to.
    3) Only on my screen

    i beleive the ultimate question was "what is 6 multiplied by 7"

    **edit** oh yes, and it's good to hear the controls feel fluid, fluidity is the most important thing.

    Jefe, great thread.

    1.) How did it look. We all know the pictures of what it looks like, but in person, does it look good or bad?
    2.) Size-wise how did it feel, besides the buttons.
    3.) How did you use the stylus and still use the buttons? Was there any interruptions in the flow?

    Really really sorry, but I can't let such ignorance pass without comment. Thus a single, other, offtopic post:

    According to the second volume, the question is: "What do you get if you multiply six by nine". More on it <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Answer_to_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything' target='_blank'>here.</a>


    Oh, and the DS sounds hawt, too bad that's just another thing that I won't have the time/money to play/buy.

    Thanks to one of my friends having an aunt that is the district manager of babages (yes I know it sounds wierd) I should be able to (hopefully <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) get it a day before it comes out, or at least make sure I'll be able to get one on release.

    He did get pokemon gold a week before it came out, but that was years ago.

    I got to use it for a second too, but the only thing on it was a little japanese messenger program, so I just scribbled on it for a couple minutes. :>

    why is nintendo releasing another handheld anyway? they already have a corner on the market, they're only competing with themselves.

    They have to compete with the super-hyped PSP from Sony. Though I feel the GBA (being backwards compatable and supporting a library of rather immense proportions) is capable of this, I think Nintendo fears that the technological superiority of the PSP will sway customers. Thus, the only way to keep their virtual monopoly on the handheld market is by releasing the DS.


    On annother note, I have come to the conclusion that Wikipedia contains entirely too much information.

    IT shouldn't be out on the floor for another week or so but meh. I've played with it in the warehouse at my store. It's just like the pictures. I'm just curious how the touch screen will stand up to abuse. Nintendo products are known for their longevity but this new stuff has my a little worried.

    It's a shame that the majority of the games I want for the DS aren't scheduled for release until January (Mario 64 and Crystal Chronicles being the exception), so I won't be getting one until then.

    What am I saying, shame... it's a good thing. I've already got enough games to buy this week.
