I'm disappointed that this game will not be available for play.

Can anyone read this site?
Looks like a detective game.
Found this link on IGN's site.

Any word on if the DS will be able to connect to the Cube, with games like Final Fantasy CC?
Thought, I have to wonder how long that'll last. If there's demand, I can't imagine, it would cost that much to make a wavebird receiver-like device that would support it. The DS supports GBA, it has an overclocked GBA inside for the game, and a more powerful processor to handle the connection. The question is, did they leave an opening for themselves in the hardware to do so?AniHawk said:
At this point, I think the lack of any GBA connectivity to another GBA or GC is to protect its market space somewhat and disassociate the DS from connectivity and being what some might think is an oversized SP.

I actually just saw one today on G4/TechTV...it was interesting but not quite that good it could have been better. It started off with two blueish squares on the screen with a black background and a womans voice saying draw something in the squares then it paused a few minutes and it turned into a ds. I expect to see alot more and alot better ds commercials in the next few days and then to start seeing them more consistantly.naz said:

It paused for a few seconds...and there's a huge thread on the ads...and all three are available for download at IGN and through the thread itself.
And just to add...Amazon.ca is listing Super Mario 64 DS at $39.99 Canadian...and a 3 Pack of Stylus...es...or is it Styli? Either way, it's listed at $7 Canadian.

When the DS was announced, I had my doubts about the system and its eventual software...but I never doubted the potential for amazingly interesting games that could be made for it. Upon seeing all of the games to be released for it, so far, I am unimpressed.
Yeah, there are some interesting uses for existing game designs...but many are simply retrofitted games with some new functionality to justify their release on the system. Of all the companies that could really go crazy with the Cheeze Whiz, I thought that Nintendo would really blow everyone away with some truly inventive stuff... So far, much of it doesn't strike me as particularly amazing. Not horrible, but not amazing. Certainly, there aren't enough titles that scream, 'YOU MUST BUY THIS SYSTEM FOR THIS GAME!!'
So far, I'm getting one just for SM and a better screen for GBA games...kinda sad.
I want someone to make this game, god damn it!
- An action-adventure with a game mechanic including a magic pen. When the character powers up, obtains, or creates the pen from assembled pieces, you can activate it and on the bottom screen, are given a limited amount of time to draw in tools, creatures, or other items that allow you to progress. You collect shape patterns that, when fairly closely approximated using the stylus, can create the item that the shape corresponds to. Draw a bridge over water; a key to open a door; a huge monster to frighten off enemies or even fight for you. Perhaps, you could, for a limited amount of time, freeze the action to 'study' an enemy...a rough shape profile would be displayed and in that time, you could 'copy' that silhouette and create a clone of it to fight for you or even control them. All sort of interesting puzzles and whatnot could be possible with this design...
I thought that Squenix would have decided to create a spin-off game using an FF VI character with that Sketch ability....uhhh...Relm or whatever. Do it!!
Anyway, November's almost here...
