Nintendo DS: $149 on November 21
 
Quote:
Though it hasn't revealed the launch lineup, Nintendo announces that its dual-screen portable will ship first in the United States.

According to Reuters, Nintendo today announced that its forthcoming DS (or "dual screen") portable game system will be available in the United States in exactly two months. The system is reportedly slated for release on November 21 (which is actually a Sunday) for a suggested retail price of $149. This puts the system in the same relative price range as the current crop of consoles, but at nearly twice the cost of Nintendo's recently marked-down Game Boy Advance SP, whose software will be playable on the DS.

The Nintendo DS will release in Japan on December 2. Nintendo expects to ship about 4 million DS units worldwide by the end of the first quarter of 2005.

No I don"t want any of those types of systems....just seems like a watse of money to GuRu....

That's a competative price-point there, and backwards compatability is great news. If the software looks good enough, I'll consider getting one...

Wow, a new Nintendo handheld, what a surprise, isnt it?

Ya i am lookin forward to it and by the way wat price is it in english pounds? :arrr:

$149 is around £90.

To be honest, I'm happy with my GBA SP, this would have to be something VERY special for me to buy one. Two screens won't cut it on it's own.

Nintendo had a special thing with the Game Boy, has a good thing with the GBA and SP, and has pretty much filled the needs of the handheld market. But, seeing as its easily their largest money maker, its certainly no surprise that they are milking the market tremendously. With the PS handheld somewhere out there im sure many will hold off immediately buying this, and even then since there have been two handhelds from Nintendo in the past three years dont expect a land rush to grab this one. That being said, there are always those who must rush off and buy something just to say they have it. To those, and to anyone else, have fun, im still playing Tetris on my GBA and enjoy it, and will hang with it...

DS looks great. Hopefully I can get one for Christmas and if not Christmas, soon after then. Go Nintendo.

Still digging my Tetris, for sure...
