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.

Well the line up is good, the price is fantastic... it would be a travisty not to get it.

As long as that is the full Mario 64 DS, pre-release tends to me before release.... but I'm unsure.

Yeah I wasn't sure about the mario thing, It probably means you don't get all of the fancy packaging.

It probably means it is the untested version of the European copy.

Pre-release tends to mean before release and nothing more. It's the full version but there maybe bugs. Although since this is the third territory it's been released in there maybe some language errors but not any gameplay mechanics.

How do you know.

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.

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.
