Gre-e-e-a-a-t... I can just imagine being assaulted by unwanted invites and "hellos" from the other folks living in my apartment building. I hope they'll program a way to shut that damn feature off for those of us that absolutely hate 99% of other human beings. The other 1% being hot girls who were initially brought up Amish.
That's definitely possible. It's also possible you could just look around to see who was hunched over, who pulled out something out of their pocket and might be looking around, listen to where the indicator sound came from (assuming it's audible) or find the nearest guy that looks like a gamer, or at least one hardcore to buy a system at launch. On that note, it'll be interesting to see who the other person is. THe DS will put a face on the gamer that buys a handheld, whom you may never thought would do so. ii'm sure there'll be a few stories of people who fell in love with the person they met by chance after battling. Good stuff.Erimgard said:

Great point, aoi. The NDS is a very social device. Nintendo's ultimate communication tool. I'm sure there will be a high percentage of female buyers (even higher than the GBASP's), so maybe you will find some hot female gamer to have a go with
Told ya it was like the Love Getty

Hopefully, typing "game" instead of "demo" was intentional.
God bless you Steven Kent.
Keep in mind that Luigi's Mansion was essentially a fleshed-out demo. Didn't keep it from being a fun little ride though.
Also, this is only vaguely on-topic, but this is freaking cool:

That's a great point, but if the DS media is really as cheap to produce as Nintendo claims maybe cart demos have just become feasible.

Damn... I was at least hoping for a Deuce, Advantage: Goreomedy.
since the cross-pad and abxy buttons are essentially the same thing, it'd be smart of nintendo to provide the option to swap their functionality... though it'd probably be a software implemented feature rather than a hardware one, in which case it wouldn't be Nintendo's sole responsibility.Flynn said:
It sounds like Nintendo might've been taking suggestions at E3 to heart. Apparently, guys at PGC suggested that Nintendo include PictoChat with every DS, I complained about the buttons being way too small, there were also complaints about the hardware's appearance in general, and there were complaints about the sound being mono, or non-stereo or whatever.
It could have been Nintendo's plan since before E3.. but it's interesting nonetheless.

So when the NDS is turned off, while it still automatically be turned on if someone sends you a message? Or do you have to have it on to be in sleep mode? Having it in sleep mode, wouldn't that drain batteries?
Pictochat is neat feature, but we already have cellphones for mobile messaging. World-wide at that.
US $150 is a good price though. If they go even lower in the near future, I'll most likely buy one.

and have wifi turned on?
I'm all for saving batteries, but having a wifi switch means lots will switch it off, which kind of defeats the purpose of pictochat, other than for premeditated pictosessions - like trying to make your colleagues laugh while on an important telephone call.
Hey, no email to spy on = worksafe tomfoolery!

At least parents looking over little Tommy's DS won't know what that is (hopefully).
