PICS!quote:Dual Screens: Two LCD screens offer one of the most groundbreaking game-play advances ever developed: experiencing a game from two perspectives at once. Imagine the possibilities. In a racing game, drivers might see their own vehicle's perspective on one screen and an overall track view on the other. In a role-playing game, the action could take place on the first screen while the second provides a reference for a player's tools inventory. Game play also could use both screens at once, offering a giant boss for heroes to defeat. In the future, games could be created allowing users to play games on one screen while text messaging other DS users on the other. Each 3-inch screen can reproduce a true 3-D view and is backlit to assure comfortable play in any lighting condition.
Touch Screen: The lower screen will offer something never before provided by any game device: PDA-like touch capabilities. Players no longer have to rely on just buttons to move characters or shift perspectives. They can navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with stylus or fingertip. A software-based keyboard might even allow the screen to be used as an input center for games and messaging. The possibilities are limited only by developers' imaginations. The screen will have a tougher film cover for durability, and will come with a stylus.
Microphone: An available microphone port means that in the future, players might need only to tell their games what to do. DS software could identify everything from voice commands to hand-clapping. Players might be able to move their characters simply by telling them which way to go. The voice capabilities also could allow gamers to chat with one another over the Internet while playing.
Wireless: DS users will be able to connect with a local wireless network of up to 16 players. Nintendo's guaranteed range is 30 feet, but will extend far beyond that depending on circumstances. It assures high response rates required for real time game play, and will make use of both IEEE 802.11 and Nintendo's proprietary communication protocol, which provides low battery consumption. Players will be able to chat and play games without any connecting cords, completely untethered. The DS technology also provides for a wireless LAN connection, which could allow a theoretically infinite number of players to connect at a hot spot and compete at a central game hub on the Internet, even if they're thousands of miles apart.
Wireless Game Sharing: If software developers desire, multiple players can compete in wireless games, even if only one person has a game card inserted. Players could also test-play games for themselves as long as they stayed connected.
3-D: With the newly developed graphics engine, DS can reproduce impressive 3-D renderings that can surpass images displayed on the Nintendo® 64. Games will run at 60 frames per second, and allow details like fog effects and cel shading.
Sound: The 16-channel sound allows for greatly expanded use of voices and music, and a richer, more immersive game experience. A plug for headphones transmits stereo sound.
Battery & Power Management: The battery is rechargeable and the unit features a low-energy-consumption design. The DS also has Power Management functions of Sleep mode and Standby mode. In Sleep mode, players can stop and resume game play whenever they like. If the user receives a message from a friend or user nearby, DS activates itself from Standby mode.
Processing: The unit will run on two processors, one ARM9 one ARM7.
New Media: For its compact cards, the unit uses newly developed semiconductor memory, which allows for lower cost, shorter manufacturing time and memory capacity of more than one gigabit of information.
Dual Slots: Nintendo DS makes a vast library of Game Boy® Advance games readily available. Developers could find ways to make new connections between GBA games and DS games. The GBA port could be used for new hardware, enormously expanding the functional expandability of the DS.
quote:Due to the most recent popular games coming out on the nintendo "DS" i was just wondering if there will be any soccer games like FIFA soccer and Winning Eleven Series on the system too.

Actually, Winning Eleven is indeed coming to the Nintendo DS...or rather, it's currently planned for the system, anyway. But whether or not it'll hit the US is another story.

Is there any chance that Nintendo will release the DS in at least ONE other color scheme? I know all of the updates say that black and silver will be the only scheme released...but somewhere deep down inside, like my lungs, I am holding my breath.
Jason
George Harrison (the Nintendo exec, not the second dead Beatle) mentioned that the system will only come in Silver/black for starters so they can simply launch the thing. After the sales start petering out, Nintendo will launch new colors. It's all about the marketing.

i have read on this site, or another site about the ds being released silmultaneously in all parts of the world. recently i saw that the ds is to be released on november 21 in north america. what about the rest of the world? is nintendo forgetting about this statement?
colin
Japan's getting it on December 3. As for Europe and Australia and other markets, you'll get yours in 2005.

Hey Craig. I noticed in the pic here: http://ds.ign.com/articles/549/549979p1.html that the aiming screen and the map screen were switched. Now I'm wondering if this is right, or a bad photoshop job. With the map on the touch screen, how is aiming going to work? Oh and Matt smells like bad cheese...
ralph
The action screen has shifted to the top, but that doesn't mean the game still won't use the touch-screen for mouse-style control like the E3 version. We'll know for sure in a couple of weeks when we get our hands around the playable version.

Maar ik haal hem bij iemand op die ik ken die een shop heeft, en dan krijg ik de DS en spellen voor de inkoop prijs, scheelt me veel geld

Q4 2004 = de release tijd van de Nintendo DS in Amerika & Japan.quote:“I obviously cannot say much, but I will try to give you as much as I can. We are working on a service that will launch globally between Q4 2004 - Q1 / Q2 2005. Although this service will greatly surprise gamers, it is not what they would traditionally expect. [Warp Pipe Technologies] feel that online communities have been commoditized, with publishers and developers focusing on the technology instead of the social and personal aspects that truly make a multiplayer experience unique. In launching this service, we will be addressing these issues.”

Iedereen koopt hem toch al blind. Maar ik moet wel zeggen dat ik het jammer vind dat de graphics een beetje tussen n64 en GC liggen. de GBA trok me meer aan, SNES graphics ruleren
