Looks like Japanese gamers will get a chance to try out a bunch of upcoming DS games from November 3. Nintendo's having a little country-wide tour:

The Tokyo one is Nov. 13 and 14. Woot!

Will there be any games ready in time?? Was E3 not filled with a slew of furiously packaged tech demos that barely resembled viable software to market?

Or am I that delusional...

Let me touch you World!

 

[john tv]

Let me touch you World!

That's "World, let me touch you."

 

[Sho Nuff]

Wait, won't it be out by November? (Confused)

 

[GDGF]

That's "World, let me touch you."

Dammit I knew I would fuck that up

Promotion doesn't stop dead when something's released, you know.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I heard November for US release date, and December for Japan

 

[Chibbi Brady]

So the rumoured December release in Japn and November in the US looks likely. Makes sense, the shopping season in Japan hots up about the middle of December.

Is this the first time ever a Japanese console has been released in the west first?
Maybe they will see it as betrayal and not buy it out of spite...

 

[Chittagong]

OMG it's Nintendo WORLD SMASH Touch, Smash Bros online confirmed, Animal Crossing and MarioKart also on way!!!

It actually doesn't need a slew of DS-specific games right at launch, since it plays SP games as well. A couple high-profile games at launch should be fine, as long as they have a reasonably steady stream of new titles in subsequent months.

 

[GDGF]

There are way to many announced games for them not to have a good bit ready for the show.

 

[WarPig]

Bitchin', they're having the Tokyo one at Big Site. So you get to ride that cool monorail instead of the goddamned motherfucking hate hate hate Keio line.

DFS.

3 grown men meeting up to touch? this thread has too much gaysex.

:'(

I am jealous. I want to touch too. Can you guys take pixs and post them here post event? With thumb/down in front of each game booth so we can gauge the fun/goodness factor? Looking forward to this,

Why are they using the E3 model?

Why are they using the E3 model?

if you look carefully at button design; speakers - it IS the current design; just a tad stylised.
