Posted 11 May 2004 at 20:34 by Ashley Jones
Just a few of the upcoming Nintendo DS titles have been announced, find out what they are inside.
Below you will find a list of all the first party Nintendo DS games known at present. More will be announced in the upcoming months. Expect media from these games later.
- Animal Crossing DS
- Mario Kart DS
- Metroid Prime: Hunters
- NEW Super Mario Bros.
- PictoChat
- Super Mario 64X4
- WarioWare Inc. DS
The PictoChat is the instant messaging feature that was announced. The bottom screen shows a keyboard and the top screen shows the display. As well as typing messages hand-written ones can be made or even doodles. You can wirelessly link up to sixteen people and send, edit and reply to messages.
Super Mario 64x4 is like a four player version of Mario 64 from the Nintendo 64. In this game all four players compete to get stars. The two screens are divided into a map and a gaming screen. The touch screen allows players to touch the screen and the camera will move to the other player.
In WarioWare Inc. DS Wario runs around causing havoc on the top screen and drops boxes onto the bottom screen, which turn into mini games. You can use the stylus or your fingers to play the mini games, which will take full advantage of the Nintendo DS's features.
In Metroid Prime: Hunters players can use the wireless technology to connect up to four people. Each player gets a different coloured Samus suit and they must use the touch screen to fire, aim or even turn into a morph ball by simply clicking on it! The title will be similar in look and feel to Metroid Prime.
No details were given about the other games but media is available for all and will be updated with later.
