"DS March 11th, £99 oh and a Baseball game"

So the DS is to be released March 11th and will cost about £100 pretty good. Games retailing at about £29.99 is a bit annoying. Oh well. The console comes bundled with the demo of Metroid Prime: Hunters, so pretty good.

Nice and expected.

What is slightly odd is this new Gamecube game "Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball" developed by Exile Interactive and Nintendo. A fully licenses baseball game that seems to go along with Mario Baseball. A bit like that Golf game that went with Mario Golf last year.

Nintendo developing their own sports brands is pretty good. Would love to see a footy title from them.

I did a bit of digging and Exile Interactive have never developed for Nintendo before. They once worked with SEGA for the 2K series of games, which are also baseball games. Apparently they are the best baseball games around too and have appeard on PS2 and X-box as the SEGA sports titles were canned on the Gamecube.

They also developed Toxic Grind for the X-box.

It is interesting that Nintendo has been slapped on the title, perhaps this'll prove to be a new Nintendo series of games. No European release date announced yet but the game is due for April in America.

It is a direct currency translation.


Doesn't look like I'm getting one now.

Sounds like a good price the trouble is, that has not taken into account rip off britain so it probably wont be a direct currency translation.

Fair enough. But yeh you did say a few times you might not get it til this Xmas.

I was never gonna get it at Christmas, probably June 4th (my birthday), but this package at Nintendo.co.uk has won me over.

It just looks so damn appealing.
