Does it say a Japanese release date for HM? Does it? Huh, huh?
Because I WANT...even with it not foing the isometric view, it seems like it is a strong use of the touch screen (Menu system, makes a lot of sense) and the animal thing is cool enough to work.
Animal Crossing...wow. Looks stunning. VERY surprised, in all honesty, to see so much work done to it. As John said, it has DEPTH...in that one screen there is a house at a higher level than another. And...HAIR! One of them has hair! Not some stupid ass hat. Hair! If they seriously go complete wireless multiplayer with this, character customization could kick major ass.
Kirby...looks like Yoshi's Touch and Go, but at the same time looks to be Kirby Pinball. Kirby flies through a level, you have to draw lines to guide him through. Looks MUCH more fast paced than Yoshi.
Mario Kart...a little disappointed to see GIGANTICALLY wide tracks, honestly. But it LOOKS great.
So yeah...hoping for Mario Kart and Advance Wars this Spring so I can pick up a DS when it drops in price (Which now seems inevitable). Hoping to have AC and HM follow next fall. Plenty enough to justify a purchase.
