I thought that the Japanese one was the 13/14th.
If I'm correct, we won't be getting news until the local time actually reaches evening.

I hope that's not the flagship title though. I want a new game not a newer old game.

Nintendo Co. Ltd. today held a conference in Tokyo, Japan where the company announced new details on its Nintendo DS platform including the hanheld's expected launch lineup and game details. Among the games that Nintendo anticipates will be ready for the system's launch: Super Mario 64 DS... in addition to PictoChat, which is embedded in the system, and a demo of Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt that is bundled with handheld. Third parties including Activision, Electronic Arts, Sega, THQ, and Ubisoft will also contribute to the console's launch lineup.
There's still over an hour of the conference to go, more to come hopefully!

You mean this as in, FF6/3? A remake?
Wow. The best FF ever on the DS?
If that's what you meant, I'm more excited about this than any new FF that could come out. FF will never be that good again.
Post by: Mario on October 06, 2004, 10:40:48 PM
its unclear which FF3 it is, but i'm guessing its the japanese one
square enix are presenting stuff now (or have finished), then sega and the pokemon company are to make announcements
Post by: PaLaDiN on October 06, 2004, 10:47:56 PM
But that makes no sense. FF3J came out on the Famicom. That's 2 generations back from what the DS is capable of.
Better be one heck of a remake, if it is a remake.

Gah!!! That's one spicy meatball! 3rd parties galore! I like that lineup..it shows you in the future, third party support is going to shine on the DS.

How is a re-release of a game that everyone has played to death already a fantastic (or even good) launch title? There's no reason to buy a DS over this game unless you really want to play Super Mario 64 portable.

Ian Sane, I've noticed that you're quite the cynical nintendo gamer.
What I don't understand is when nintendo gamers scream and kick for more third party support and then they get it, all they whine for are more franchise 1st party titles. Maybe nintendo is making room for third party venues. Also, it's more than likely several other great games will be coming within the year. If I recall correctly, none of the consoles in the last 2 generations or so have ever launched with a killer app. If we do get one (the next mario bros for sure), it'll most likely be within 3-6 months after launch. What more do you want?? If Feel the Magic was a ninty title, would you be happy? The way I see it, this sega game is the LAUNCHE'S killer app. even then we still have a sims game and a madden game which will both sell by the truckload.
Consider this, if the DS is launching in Dec in Japan and they're getting several other first party titles at launch, dont you think we'll get most if not all of those same titles over here around the same time? What did you really expect at launch? Zelda?
Post by: Ian Sane on October 07, 2004, 09:11:53 AM
A new game. Not a remake.
Hey more third party support is great but I still buy Nintendo consoles primarily for Nintendo games. I want great third party support but not at the cost of first party titles. And third party support has NOTHING to do with this. If Nintendo had more of their own launch titles I'm sure the third party lineup would be identical. They're not "making room". They just goofed up and set the American launch to be first which gutted their first party lineup because all of their Japanese devs were aiming for the Japan launch.

My thoughts exactly, but I'm gonna try and put them in my own words now
Nintendo knows that they will have the early adopters/hardcore nintendo fans at launch no matter what, so they release a remake to one of (if not) the best 3D platformer to garner attention. After the Early Adopters get a grasp on the system and start to spread the word, then they drop the new killer apps to give the mainstream gamers another reason to be interested and check it out.

the initial launch looks weak IMO.... Wario Ware DS only for Japan launch is a big minus for me... That would have been a must buy on November... Spiderman looks weak... I cant belive i might buy Madden then ugg...
Kinda Feels like the N64 Launch with a weak initial wave of titles... Hopefully Mario Kart will be released soon like in December

It's absurd to make that kind of a comment when the system hasn't been released yet.
I bet if someone on this forum said the PSP will be the best system ever, the poster will be flamed faster than you can say: "Reggie's gonna kick your ass."

As for the increased quality of graphics in the PSP, it isn't worth the price jump for me. I don't want to spend that much money - $400 canadian, I'm estimating - on a handheld. The DS is half that, and also has some games that I'm excited about.
But I wouldn't mind if someone made a good arguement about the PSP. That's fine. I have still chosen what I'm getting.

It is absurd. No matter how you slice it. How can you make the assumption the DS will be the best system ever when you haven't even held it in your hands, let alone played a single game on it. Sure, the DS sounds very promising and has the potential to be a great system; even I am excited about it. But shouldn't the time to judge whether a system fulfilled it's potential and had great games is after or close to the end of it's life cycle?

...not to mention a remake of the BEST GAME EVER is launching with it. Nintendo DS will shock the world.
To you maybe. Funny, I have no interest in mario 64 true fact: it is a port
Argh...sometimes fanboys are the worst.
