Seems that for once Nintendo is getting it right.
Nintendo DS is everywhere!
All the high street shops are marketing it big time and talk on the street is that the pre-orders are pretty high!
But it seems that not only here in Europe that Interest in the DS remains sky high, but in Japan and the US It is still EXTREMELY popular!
There is already a great total of 3 MILLION DS's worldwide sold, which means when it hits Europe the numbers are bound to rise to just over 4 Million!
Could there be a sell out of the systems? It wouldn't surprise me! Consider the fact that America sold out of their allocation due to high demand and Japan went DS crazy and took up all pre orders, as well as near all of the allocated systems.
So If you haven't pre-ordered now, get going! SR have even a good scheme going- pre-order a DS pack and get £4 off an extra game which costs £28 or if you went for Polarium in that deal it would mean getting it at a bargain £15!!
Which brings me onto the games.
So then, from the top games at launch which would you choose?
I know I would have Polarium, Project Rub, Wario Ware and Zoo Keeper.... I do already have a DS and Mario, so naturally I'd like to add these to the collection. I couldn't be bothered importing the US versions, I think I will just sit it out and wait.

Oh, and there are test units.
In the Gamestation in Manchester, there is one running a demo version of Wario Ware - touched.
Nice.
