Interesting.. weird that they got rid of the GBA slot though since some games need it (GH:world tour)

loosk liek those rumours were ture.

best thing to happen to Nintendo since the Wii. I was just talking to my little bro and I was like, DUDE ITS HAS A CAMERA. I DONT EVEN FREAKING NEED A CAMERA. BUT THATS SO DAMN COOL!

again magificent.

Buying it. Buying it. Buying it. Buying it.

*ehem, smug face, for tellin ya all this was coming ages ago *

but on a more serious note, i can't see any reason at all to buy this,
although this should have more memmory, or can probably use the sd cards to hold some kind of page file, because the gba socket was used for the browser memory expantion.

I'm getting real sick of ninty bringing out hard ware for 2 years then doing something like this, they are beggining to look like money hungry b*£"*$£d's why not just save these' modifications and release the DS2 in another 2 years.

Which should have increased hardware spec, better vidio playback, beable to run more powerful games, not just the same old ds games. this is getting reallly rediculous, why the hell would anyone want a camera on the DS.

I'm getting it for DSiWare potential. And for plain sexiness. My current DS has dead pixels anyway.

Awesome. I need a new DS anyway.

I wonder if it'll be released in Europe this year...

I assume we'll learn the US release date at the US conference. And then I'll import one. I assume they'll still be region free.

ZOMG! Punch Out and Sin & Punishment!!! And the new DS is sexy but I'm still happy with the one I've got.

The Wii game montage actually looked pretty cool. There was some stuff in there I hadn't seen or heard about before.

Overall, I'd say this made up for their E3 blunder, and I'm sure there will be one or two more new announcements at the NOA one.

Good idea. I'll probably do the same.

Can someone portal this (if it's not already)?

I'll probably buy it. Too tempting!

Camera = picture related game, i already thought of a few casual picture games that woudl require use of the camera

but msokey you do have a point but look how excited we all are, its obviously working.

PORTAL NOW

EDIT
http://kotaku.com/5057889/first-look-at-...-in-action

in action, ok not really but a video montage of wahts to come.. lets say you got a little bit of NEW MARIO RPG and little bit of KINDGOM HEARTS and some other cool stuff.


and some lame stuff.

2 things:
1. Holy balls it's about god damn time they make a new punchout, and hopeuflly they make full use of WM+ it make it kick all kinds of butt. I for one am in favor of a 2-wiimote option to get optimum control or each fist.
2. Anyone else concerned that IGN's piece didn't mention anything about being able to play software off the memory card? As they have it worded now it sounds like it's just making trasferring easier, not enhancing the function of.

For the first timesince Mario Kart I'm excited for the Wii. Hooray!

Punch-Out? Where's Kid Icarus D:

With WM+ on the horizon, I hope they have a full fledged golf game to take advantage.  I've been waiting for a decent, simple and fun motion based golf game since Wii Sports Golf.

WOAHWOAHWOAHWOAH. This is pretty good but again, too late.

S&P xD

It is cool but I'm happy with my current DS Lite. Some of those unknown games in the Wii montage looked pretty cool.

i kinda wish 3 things
WHY THE **** WASN'T THIS E3 STUFF?!?!!!!!
and why just not make a completely new hendheld
no gba slot? that's a rip now what in the hell do i do with guitar hero?
besides that I'm getting this, its awesome!! good thing i didn't waste money on the lite!
