Support NeoGAF

[Smiles and Cries]

yes

I'm hoping she does not have the card all the way in or something I could not tell what game she was playing. I would think Nintendo would not have the DS card that far out.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Are there going to be NOA conference updates in here? Or is there another thread for that?

NOA has something later today? Please let me know before I get offline

EDIT: OH "We'll have more on Ridge Racer DS as the day progresses at Nintendo's Gamer Summit in Seattle" IGN DS

 

[u_neek]

Ooh nice, when is that Seattle thing?? In hours?

 

[Memles]

Maybe it's just me...but isn't keeping a fair bit of software until Spring a strong business move for Nintendo?

Sell the system at launch with a big Mario game (More of a new game than we had expected) and some strong third party support and then create almost like a whole new launch with Mario Kart/Advance Wars/Wario Ware in the Spring? The early adopters get Mario, then the new software can bring more people, like myself in.

Wario, you going to cancel one of the preorders maybe?

Someone on IGN Boards posted it started 20mins ago... not sure if I can trust the source

I'm sure they're saving some big software to be released at the same time as the PSP in the US.

Well people have to sit here and read through a 15 page thread There's more people here who would of normally browsed and moved on.

Mmmm.... River King DS.... (ok I'm probably the only person interested in this title...)

 

[krypt0nian]

So Fall 2005 then?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

697 last I checked

it may top 800 today GO NINTENDOODS

 

[Memles]

I'm sure they're saving some big software to be released at the same time as the PSP in the US.

Pokemon Dash + Mario Kart + Wario Ware in March, if it launches in March, and then Advance Wars in early Summer, maybe along with Metroid.

 

[SaitoH]

Question: Is Nintendo going to continue to give decent support for the Advance? I ask because in spite of a very good looking launch, I can't justify buying a new system considering how little I play portable games.

 

[Great King Bowser]

Wtf, a 15 page DS thread. What the hell has been happening today whilst I was at college?

Anyone mind just summarising this thread in say a paragraph? There's a cookie in it for someone.

Oh, and subscribing to this thread. I never did realise that subsciption to threads wasn't automatic like the old boards. Cheers for that.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap seems to be the last big GBA hurrah for Nintendo at this point, along with DK King of Swing, Yoshi's Gravitation Thingy, and Wario Ware: Tilt Sensor Edition.

 

[Memles]

10-12 Games at Launch (Japan and US)
US gets Mario 64 DS, no other first party.
Japan gets more first party, since less third party support.
Individual game announcements mostly have threads on the main page.
Games at $30 US.

Pokemon Emerald in the US.

 

[cybamerc]

So you believe that the current DS situtation has NOTHING to do with Sony? Nintendo did not take any competition into consideration when working on the portfolio for the DS?

That's correct.

New NDS Games
Final Fantasy, Pokemon and more bring the total to 124 games and counting.
October 07, 2004 - Nintendo went on the portable offensive in Japan (as well as in America) today, revealing a bunch of new games for the NDS portable system. With the new games revealed today, the total number of titles set for release in Japan for the system has increased to 124, in development from sixty-three publishers.

The new titles for Japanese release mentioned by Nintendo are listed here, split by publisher. Some of these titles have already been announced for America. Many of them are completely new. Many of them will never come to America. Almost all of them have tentative names (that didn't stop us from putting "tentative name" in parenthesis" next to each game, though).

Just a few "unofficial" notes about these games. The Project JSS game coming from Nintendo may or may not be the Jump comic collaboration title announced yesterday on IGNDS. The RPG coming from Tomy may or may not be a Naruto-based RPG (Tomy just released such a game for the Game Boy Advance in Japan). The Momotetsu World game is the latest title in the Momotarou Dentetsu series; a previous IGNDS story made mention of this game as Nintendo invited the series' producer to its Kyoto headquarters to ask for support.

And that's it! A few of these games will be shown to IGN shortly at an event being held by Nintendo of America, so be sure and check back at IGNDS in just a bit.

[jarrod]

Pokemon Emerald in the US.

Also F-Zero Climax, Custom Robo Advance, Fire Emblem IX and Mother 3. There's also 3rd party stuff like MegaMan Battle Network 5, Riviera or Banjo Pilot on the way.

and they all play on the DS

 

[Goreomedy]

Not bad.

Final Fantasy III (the only FF Proper westerners have never received)
Super Mario 64 DS (looks like new levels, additions to gameplay, and minigames have been added)
Pokemon Diamond
Pokemon Pearl
Advance Wars DS
Castlevania DS
Lunar DS
New Rez-guy game called Meteos, being worked on by him and the director for SSBM and Kirby (the one who left HAL)

And tons more. The games are going to be $30 at launch too.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Awesome Rayman, UbiSoft are consistently strong graphically. Nice to know someone other than Nintendo is trying to push the system.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

Didn't see anyone mention this. That cute looking Nintendogs game? According to IGN, it has a new name.

Puppy Times

Apparently this is only a temporary title though. I don't like it as much as Nintendogs.

"Previously known as Nintendogs, in Puppy Times you can raise up to three adorable puppies and play with them to your heart's content. Teach your pups new tricks: just speak into the system's microphone and they'll respond to the voice commands you've taught them. There will even be modes in Puppy Times that support a wireless connection."

Lunar? It's been confirmed as Lunar/

 

[Redbeard]

Bleh!

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

Judging from that screenshot of Rayman DS, it's a port of Rayman 2. Hopefully it has some new content. Looks like the touchscreen is used for camera control. I bet that will happen a lot for adventure games and platformers.

How do you prefer to see Nintendo DS screens?

I agree, Nintendogs is a much better name. Puppy Times is too cutesy. If it isn't changed back to Nintendogs, I hope there is a different title before launch.

 

[Soul4ger]

Anyone pick up on this, from 1UP?

Meteos: Another Bandai-published project from Rez creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi, Meteos blends block-dropping puzzle action with some other curious gameplay elements -- apparently, the goal is to eventually launch all your blocks back up into orbit. Definitely a game to look out for, even if it doesn't look quite so visually sharp as Mizuguchi's PSP game Lumines. The game's design also features contributions from HAL Labs veteran and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai.

 

[cybamerc]

PLEASE VOTE NATIVE RESOLUTION stop the blow-up madness

Ugh... double resolution is getting most of the votes.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

So wait, Ridge Racer DS isn't made by Namco?

"Scheduled as a launch title for the system in the US, Ridge Racer DS, in development at Nintendo's NST studio.....will utilize the lower screen for direct analog steering of the vehicles via the touch sensitive panel."-IGN

 

[=W=]

After reading through all 15 pages, and just finishing Syberia, I can easily say that my most anticipated game is Another. Not to say that everything else doesn't look pretty ace as well.

I love adventure games. devs make more plz ;_;

 

[Smiles and Cries]

GAF keeps crashing with errors for me damn NINTENDOODS!

Makes fair enough sense; they did Ridge Racer 64.

 

[norinrad21]

I'm so importing the Japanese version.

 

[Dan]

Wow. I've really been trying not to be interested in the DS, but damn, a lot of these games look great, especially if they reach the US. Advance Wars, Yoshi's Touch & Go, Meteos, Mr Driller, Puyo Pop, Animal Crossing, etc are all games I'd love to try. Plus unseen games like Castlevania, JSS and some others.

I'll probably force myself to wait a while for this, maybe when GBA games have really dried up, but I'm going to have a hard time not buying one after today's showing.

 

[neptunes]

Can we at least get pics of Goldeneye? or Viewtiful Joe DS?

..I'll settle for pics of the DS Menu (OS)

 

[Firest0rm]

Not bad.

Thats fake, Manabyte proved they were fake on the IGN boards. Cheap attempt by Ubi to try and wip up a screen shot fast.

 

[Diomedeskun]

I just got back to Advance Wars 2 not long ago, so I'm drooling over Advance Wars DS. I had been a bit upset that Advance Wars 2 had very few new features, even if it did have a much improved single-player mode, so I am quite thrilled by the new units visible and the combined CO powers as well as the second screen. The timer seems a little odd for a turn-based game, unless there is a day-night cycle.

I must also have Mario 64, Goemon, and Mr. Driller, but I am most interested in New Super Mario Bros, Castlevania, and Jump Super Stars (as well as any upcoming Fire Emblem), so I greatly look forward to some actual details on those.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Oh fucking hell, why would people want DS pics blown up? Complete morons.

 

[Dan]

Oh fucking hell, why would people want DS pics blown up? Complete morons.

Yeah... sure says a lot about IGN's readers.

 

[Temujin]

Hmm...the only games I'm really, really interested in are Another, Crush and Feel the magic XY/XX. Am I weird?

Do you touch yourself at night? Then yes, yes you are.

 

[Mugen]

NDS is cleaning up... I'm not really interested in Mario DS

But between DS Wars, Shonen Jump Melee and FFIII... this is a guaranteed buy for me.

 

[metsallica]

How fun is this? Seriously! I've been beaming this whole damn thread.

The Go! Team - Thunder Lightning Strike = perfect soundtrack for this 40,000-view monster.
