America get this kinky beyatch of a console first, on November 21st at the surprisngly low price of 150 dollars. 'Tis a steal.

Japan will get their grubby mits on the DS on December 2nd, and us Westerners will get it in Early 2005. Not date confirmed.

The DS will come with a demo of Metroid Prime: Hunters, giving us a sneak preview of the game, but no launch-games have been confirmed yet.

And the Pictochat comes with the DS. Yes! So a whole new world of comunication will open up locally and globally.

As for colours, Ninty are hinting at some different cases but for now the gorgeous black/silver case will do.

I can't bloody wait :)

Yes. Mario DS is an all new Super Mario Bros. game, compared to the updated/fattened out Mario 64 remake.

Nothing new as yet.

> And Japan are getting it after America???

Yep. And we get it, as usual, last of all. Unless you import ^_^

WARIO WARE = LAUNCH! AGAHAHAJJWNJILBNEUOR!

I will make this certain...even if it means using the help of Mr. Chaingun here.

Mmmmyessss.

And Edgy - none of us were criticising Apple for spamming, merely posting things we already knew, and not saying much else. He's good on the whole.

Haha.

Just because you've got a notable backing you up doesn't make you special.

People are always quick to criticise aren't they.

Well this time I'm going on the defensive (makes a change!)

So what if he's posting old news?

It's better than the heap of crap I see in other forums such as multiple topics asking singles questions about one tiny part of one game in the Xbox forum. Or "OMG!!! DA PSTWO!" (granted, I started one as a spoof :P)

Anyway, what I'm saying is atleast he ain't spamming the place up.
