Anyone amused that Sega didn't even publish their own game on the DS?

What irks me is that the DS version is $29.99 while the GameCube version is $19.99. I hate it when they do that.

Well the DS version is portable and for eight players, the GameCube version is only four players. I don't know if that alone justifies a higher price tag, but whatever.

Greatest press release line ever. Even more so than when Nintendo used the word "bitching" in an NES Classics press release.
