DS Package Details - Press Release

[Crash]

System will launch with a playable Demo of Metroid Prime: Hunters


In addition to the built-in instant-messaging PictoChat feature, Nintendo DS units in North America will come with a free Nintendo DS Game Card featuring a playable demo of the upcoming Metroid Prime Hunters game*. The demo, called Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt, will feature several single-player modes of the first-person adventure game along with a unique multiplayer mode in which four DS users can compete wirelessly. Nintendo DS launches Nov. 21 in North America at an MSRP of $149.99.


so it does have a single player mode like metroid prime.... that is too cool, i am so excited about this, you have no idea!

...... we knew this?

Edit: well ok we hadn't seen that package yet.

[Crash]

yeah, i know, but nintendo official released it to the press today, besides, you haven't seen this EXACT picture...

[GameMaster]

So, will other games be available for purchase on the release date?

[Jonbo298]

I've seen the first box without the MP on the cover. But I hadn't seen this one.

The days are getting closer...*anticipation....rising....*

*edit*
Yes GM, there will be other games. It's a bad move to only have a demo out with the DS and thats it.

[Canyarion]

No no they're going to try it without games this time.

[Dyne]

How come they haven't announced any Gamecube connectivity? I cry.

If I have to pay $149.99 USD to get more out of my GameCube games, I'm bringing a bomb to Redmond, WA. Cool added features is fine, but I won't tolerate another FF:CC fiasco.

I agree. Connectivity was never really that awesome. It added a little extra value, VERY little, but I would much rather just use a classic controller. I dont think that connectivity really brought anything new or interesting to the table.

the tingle thing was cool, but it still wasn't what it could have been... i really dont think it is cost effective for the developers/publishers or the consumer...

but i do think that the DS will do very well, and i'm totally excited for it.

its beautiful....*wipes tear*

Anywho, lets not completly knock the GBA connectivity feature. It was cool in a select few games...especially Four Swords Adventures. Its just a shame that they made it where each person playing HAD to have a GBA.

What made me a sad panda was the fact that Zelda: Four Swords sucks a nut...

Anyways, this paints a different picture... In the last topic we thought it came with the GAME Metroid Prime: Hunters free.... Not a game DEMO...

Still, so far if I had to pick between PSP and DS, I'd go for DS... But that could all change, or be confirmed depending on PSP's official pricetag...

[Canyarion]

No no, we discovered that it was just a demo. But they wouldn't listen!
