[Suikoguy]

Gamestop managers are susposed to get their DS's within the next couple weeks

 

[MadOdorMachine]

Impressions?

 

[Chipopo]

:O

 

[seismologist]

nice one.

 

[neptunes]

not from me though. :lol

It's from someguy, that apart of some nintendo fansite.

 

[Chony]

OMG.

 

[Doogdogg]

Maybe this was stolened.

 

[seismologist]

lets see some Metroid footage

 

[DCX]

Looks nice! Wasn't thinking of getting one, but i might...i have to see it in person first...same with PSP.

DCX

 

[jenov4]

OH NICE!

How long until Gamespot and IGN creates a link to this? I'd say within 12 hours.

 

[john tv]

I wanna see a game case. I hope the US games don't come in the same shitty boxes as GBA and GBC games came in... :/

 

[krypt0nian]

Movie's not working?

 

[Rhindle]

The publicity shots had lead me to believe that it no longer looked cheap and plasticky.

? DS games come in psuedo DVD-style boxes

 

[krypt0nian]

This vid link seems to still work... http://www3.telus.net/public/goldlab/Alex/DS/MOV01327.MPG

 

[Mr. Lemming]

Haha, best use of the second screen i've seen yet! Damn I hate how those messages are at the beginning of games now.

 

[snapty00]

Maybe it's just the lighting, but those shots make the DS look like a cheap toy.

 

[seismologist]

eh? It's like an SP with a higher quality screen :\

 

[ohamsie]

Well, with the DS you can get viewing that screen out of the way with the startup screen

 

[Kon Tiki]

It is not the lighting that makes it looks like shit, it is the Nintendo logo.

 

[cvxfreak]

:lol @ Health Warning screen

 

[Andy787]

:O~~~

 

[StrikerObi]

DS is a revolution! I'm happy about this because it keeps an extra warning screen showing up in between me and my game. Go Go Nintendo!!!

 

[john tv]

The US ones do?

I doubt it. I understand that you can tell the system to boot to menu or to the game, but this little splash is still going to show up either way. There's a splash on GameBoy before your game starts. Plus, they have to show that health and safety warning, which means this screen is going to HAVE to show up.

Why does the Manuel have what I assume to be PAL languages on it?
PAL release isn’t for ages.

If real = TEH AWESOME!

 

[john tv]

Is that a US case? Quiter is a Japanese site.

 

[Craig Majaski]

I just got back from a 3 day event at NOA, and I just happened to snap some pics of the DS cases they had there. Here's the inside of one of the cases they had on display in their retail section at their headquarters.

I'm also going to have a ton of news and impressions of the DS and its games as well as Metroid Prime, Mario Tennis, Mario Party 6, Zelda Minish Cap and more on Sunday afternoon. I'm dead tired right now and have to write all the stuff up yet! So check out the front page Sunday night (Yeah, there's a front page!)

 

[Kandinsky]

Oops

[Kon Tiki]

Nice stains on the sheets.

 

[neptunes]

"Heyy!, thanks alot"

 

[jett]

The spanish translation is for Latin America in general, actually, not just Mexico.

 

[Mirk]

Damn Just got back from paying for the DS and 3 games.
Then I see this... not fair
Are not the games a little to small now? There like SD cards
and I have a hella of a time keeping them in check.

 

[Ironclad]

Thanks for the pics, Neptunes. IMO, going with the psuedo-DVD cases is definetly the right thing to do. Just a better way to store your DS games. I am efinetly excited for the DS, and I am very glad we only have 16 days left.

 

[explodet]

Before you know it, the next Game Boy will be out, and its game cartridges will be half the size of DS games!

The movie link isn't working for me, BTW.

 

[Do The Mario]

He true but I was still surprised to see Spanish and French on the cover, but it does make sense.

There is another link, about half way down the page. That one works.

That it does. Gracias.

So did this guy get his DS at the Enthuiast Summit? Does that mean you and everyone else did also? Or is this guy from elseware? Apprently there was some sort of tour in Mexico where you could win a DS. Maybe this guy won?

 

[Ironclad]

That it does. Gracias.

De nada.

Hey autobot, the games come in DVD-esque cases so you should have an easier time keeping track of them.

 

[Spiritreaver]

It would have helped if neptunes posted the originating forum post:

http://forums.dshandheld.com/showthread.php?t=1306

Apparently he's a game promoter or something, check gamefaqs as well, there are couple of guys there who also got a DS the same way. One even posted pics.

Striker, I read on another message board that appearantly the guy who took the pictures works for Nintendo, and they received their DS' early. I doubt Nintendo would give the DS out at a summit.

 

[neptunes]

I actually got it from gamefaqs. (not ds central)

so...uhh yeah!

 

[jooey]

I sincerely hope nintendo will be selling packs of those cases soon, because they'd be great for slickly storing gba games.

Are you sure the Spanish isn't for the US?
