Oh... my... God! Repeat it now, repeat it often, don't stop repeating it until one of these puppies is in your hands. Not only has Nintendo finally opened with a strong volley, it looks like they've opened it up with both barrels! First, we got details just off the phone with Billy... second, we have pics from the lovely folks at Nintendo, posted here since their server is going to be CRAWLING today (it already is at 5 AM!).

Here's the dirt I have from Billy directly:

• The system will come in 6 colors (so far)
  
• The controllers can be wireless
  
• Release date July in Japan, October in the US (DANGIT we gotta wait for this)
  
• March for GBA in Japan, July in the US
  
• No price set for Gamecube yet
  
• $70-$90 for GBA
  
• The multi-Mario pics come from the 'pizza' demo... which also included 128 Marios running around at once as well as seemingly effortless transitions in appearance between 3D, Paper-like, Semi-transparent, and more...
