LNC EX: Nintendo DS Impressions

November 26, 2004 8:23 PM

With all the downtime from the Thanksgiving holiday, instead of letting you go without any console content, I've put together some general impressions of the Nintendo DS hardware. I've spent the past week putting the device through its paces and let you know how it stacks up. Check out my immediate impressions of Nintendo's "third pillar," the Nintendo DS.

    Here's what I've heard, not sure if true. There was the initial shipment and then there will only be one more after that. Most game stores have those units pre-ordered so if you want one, gotta hit up a Best Buy around the time they're putting 'em out on shelves.

      One more after that meaning one more before the year ends.

  I pre-reserved mine at my local GameStop, got it on Sunday the 20th, with absolutely no problems, include Mario DS. But I've seen no hide or hair of it mentioned in the major stores; BB is even still pushing the GBA.

    Makes no sense to advertise products parents won't find when they enter the store. It'll sell out no matter what, and there won't be any pissed off parents screaming while holding ads.
