The old one kind of died off. Why not a new one, seeing as the thing launches really soon. To start us off, JeuxFrance has a big treat for us, DSL Japanese packaging!

Apple? Nintendo!

(yes, that's my hosting)

Naturally Japanese/American packaging will be different, but I at least hope NOA goes with something similar! The Micro has GREAT packaging, so hopefully that's a sign!

And more: HERE

A copy of a beautiful thing is always an ugly thing.

Though, I must say, that's some very nice looking ugly right there.

It's actually (just over) 1 week, not 3 weeks.

I like one side of that packaging, but the side with the odd angled DS taking up the whole picture looks a bit awkward to me.

The screen quality looks fantastic

Perfect!

Nintendo are going to sell every one of these they can ship.

Does the DS have region blocks? Or can I import this since Reggie said the u.s might not see it for awhile.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #4 on:** February 22, 2006, 04:51:45 AM »

Reggie said summer, but there are no region blocks on Nintendo's portables.

Hmmm. Looks like it's actually smaller than the "FCC pics" made it out to be.

Artimus · « **Reply #6 on:** February 22, 2006, 06:28:49 AM »

The colour on it is SO good. I wish the regular DS was turned on, though.

that box looks horrible in my opinion. its a good thing it isnt the box that matters.

Artimus · « **Reply #8 on:** February 22, 2006, 06:41:57 AM »

I'll agree about the angle thing not working. If they straightened it, it'd be perfect. I'm just glad it's sleek, because the current DS box is too "gameboyish".

Does anyone know if I imported this, if I'd have issues using the Nintendo Wifi USB adapter and/or Mario Kart DS (US ver) on the online wifi service and/or playing on local wifi lan with the system and original US DS systems?

Thanks!

You should have no problems playing any DS game on an imported DS system. The system is region free (and include the same languages for the DS boot menu). If you currently use Nintendo Wi-Fi, your friend code will be different with the new DS, but that has nothing to do with how you obtained the system.

MaryJane · « **Reply #11 on:** February 22, 2006, 07:28:11 AM »

I hate Nintendo. They make me import a DSL so that I can have it first and peeps who dont know what is will be all like whats that whats that, it looks so cool. (hopefully females ;-) ) releasing 5 must have games in a lil less than 3 months for the DS. and making MP:H wifi compatible so people in japan can beat me, laugh, and call me a baka? what is wrong with them? how am I gonna pay for school and do my homework argghhh system overload. CRASH!!

(hugs and kisses to everyone who works at Nintendo and is going to make this one of the best years ever for videogamers)

Nintendo, we(I) need the colour BLACK on a DSL! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! BLACK! White sucks, it doesn't go with my personality!

MaryJane · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2006, 08:38:22 AM »

I agree Caliban (I love The Collector, unless you took it from shakespeare). which is why i'm getting navy blue, it's close enough for me.

For your viewing pleasure the entire Iwata Conference TRANSLATED AND SUBBED!

Yeah I laughed a lil too hard when I watched that.

Pale · « **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2006, 09:00:35 AM »

God dammit, i thought it would be the real translation.. =P

Caliban · « **Reply #16 on:** February 22, 2006, 09:44:28 AM »

LMAO! That video is hilarious! I'm gonna watch it again, bye!

MaryJane, I don't watch The Collector but I did take it from Shakespear even though I didn't read anything from him lol.

MaryJane · « **Reply #17 on:** February 22, 2006, 09:47:37 AM »

Video is funny, cal funny to, although i was refering to the book, but regardless funny stuff.

wandering · « **Reply #18 on:** February 22, 2006, 09:56:40 AM »

This "DSL" abbreviation is going to get really confusing.

I was playing my DSL with my DSL as I was enjoying some DSL!

That was definitely the "real" translation.

I really hope that last DSL isn't referring to BlackNMild's abbreviation for DSL.

LMAO, that's so funny. Hi-larious!

"Apple? Nintendo!"

more than you know

Chris1 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 22, 2006, 11:26:34 AM »

Well I preorderd the enamel navy one, I couldn't help it! Now Im pretty much broke for the moment, but I can't wait to play Metroid on this baby!

Louieturkey · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2006, 12:22:27 PM »

I'd hope they openly admit their blatant copying of Apple.

Of course, to quote CPM, "If an idea works, we'll steal it!"

Good job Nintendo at finally learning to appeal to the masses.
