Tons of Nintendo DS-news + screens
Nintendo gave away a lot of official information about their new handheld, the Nintendo DS. First of all, an official releasedate has been set. The USA will get the machine on 21st November 2004 and Japan 2nd December 2004, that's the first time in history Nintendo releases hardware first outside Japan. This is because of the important holidays in the USA.
For a price of $149.99, you'll get a NDS with the chat-program PictoChat (on the hardware = no cartridge needed!) and a demo of Metroid Prime Hunters, named Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt. We also have a screen of that one, and you can see the detail is much higher than in the E3 version and Nintendo changed the two screens in place. They did this because there were some complaints about it. There are some rumours though that it's possible to change this in the options menu.
Nintendo also revealed the final official specs of the system, along with some new screens and the boxshot.
We also get to know that we no longer have to deal with annoying password systems, since RAM-memory is standard on the NDS-cardridges, unlike the GBA ones, where the developers had to pay extra money to buy RAM-memory. The standard is 4 kilobit RAM, but there are cardridges with up to 512 kilobit RAM, but it's possible they will be more expensive.
