Australian DS Launch Titles
« on: January 20, 2005, 04:53:34 PM »
Launch day will see two additional games along with those that are part of the DS package.

Melbourne, Australia, 21st January 2005


With the excitement surrounding the launch date and price of Nintendo DS, Nintendo Australia confirm some of the amazing and innovative software titles that will be available within the initial launch period. The February 24th release date of Nintendo DS including embedded PictoChat and a Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt  demo will also see the day one launch of Super Mario 64 DS and WarioWare: Touched! for SRP$69.95.  


During the first couple of months Nintendo titles such as Project Rub by SEGA, Polarium and Pokemon Dash will launch nation-wide. The support from third party publishers witnessed with the overseas launch of Nintendo DS will be mirrored here with Spider-Man 2 from Activision, Asphalt Urban GT and Sprung from UbiSoft, Ping Pals from THQ and Zoo Keeper from QV Software all confirmed to be available for Australian consumers on launch. Upcoming titles for Nintendo DS include The URBZ: Sims in the City, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® and Need for Speed Underground 2 from Electronic Arts, Rayman® DS  from UbiSoft, Retro Atari Classics from Atari and Robots from Vivendi Universal Games.

I'm surprised Polarium is coming here so quickly.

That isn`t on the news section of nintendo.com.au and there`s something screwy with the DS mini site... such is life.

Why do we aussies have to pay a high price for DS games? Mario 64 DS is $29.99 USD and WarioWare: Touched! $34.99 USD which is $39.50 and $46.00 AUS respectively and they want $69.95 AUS, and both games sale at 4,079 yen in Japan which is $52.00. shipping shouldn't cost that much.

You should just buy them from the US then, because the DS is not region specific.
