Nintendo DS 40 Million Units Sold!

Exactly right. It's very ridiculous.

It's also really stupid how Nintendo can't keep up with demand, considering the tech powering the Wii is several years old, should not be a problem at all.

It is? I thought that was the production period 🙂 There is never likely to be a perfect launch, with the perfect number of consoles to meet demands, unless you expect them to wait another year while they make more.

Despite the lack of consoles, Wii's launch undoubtedly crushed that of the PS3 and 360 launches.

The Wii has already looooooong outsold the PS3. Gets kind of annoying always being asked if we're getting any in because we don't know what we're getting in shipments until they actually arrive. With that said, I'm hoping to track one down by my birthday.

Piggle - you got a black one? Neat 😄 I ended up having to settle for white (I wanted black or pink), but I do have a pink case for it 😊

I'm probably going to buy a game or two every paycheck, I've got Mario 64 and Animal Crossing (if anyone else has Animal Crossing I want to terrorize your town 😛), not sure what I'm going to get next. Probably Mario Kart and FFIII.

also, i think a new zelda's coming out soon..phantom something??
There's been rumor that the Zelda game for the DS has been purchased back until the later half of 2007, but that's just a rumor.

I hate how stores are announcing dates, creates chaos. 🙄

I haven't seen/heard of any stores announcing it around here. When I was searching for one, I had to keep calling them to ask personally if had or were getting any.

New Zelda for DS will be out in March, as of what our store release book said yesterday when I put down a reserve on it.

I've not heard any rumors of a delay.

Well that's good news. doped

There were some other games also mentioned in that rumor. I can't recall them ahora mismo.

Oh! Another one was The new Super Mario Game for the Nintendo Wii.

Any insight into that as well Lana?

With Nintendo's current ineptitude to get Zelda games out within a reasonable timeframe, I won't be surprised if/when it's announced that Zelda will be pushed back, similar to TP.

Thank you for once again making most of your reply to something I never said.

I didn't say the Wii launch was anything other than a huge success, I know it is the best launch of all the systems of the new generation, this has nothing to do with anything I said.

Seeing as the system uses old, easy to come by technology, it should not be hard to keep up with demand, at least to a better degree than what they're doing now.

Why do you always assume that everything I say is targeted at you or an attempt to attack you? Did you not notice the paragraph gap? I was responding to you, but also adding my opinion to the convo -_-"

Im doing it again, notice the gap, notice the change in whom I address my convosation to.

I'm glad Nintendo has begun deciding how to link the DS and Wii together, this is good news, it will mean I will be able to connect both of my systems, I'm just curious as to what kind of intergration we are looking at, the console itself with any game, or just specific game links like pokemon advance was with gamecube's pokemon battle areana. Sort of third party usage.

Thanks for the suggestions. I saw Age of Empires for the DS on sale. I was tempted to buy it. But I'll hold on for now. Gotta try the games you guys mention.

I suppose the problem lies in the fact that you are quoting me during these responses. And in your last post, there was no paragraph gap between a relevant reply and the one that had nothing to do with my post. It was all in the same paragraph.

But, if it's unintentional then my apologies, just a miscommunication.

Don't wry, not trying to slag off anything you say, yeah just a miscommunication, I quoted you then sepearted my reply with a paragraph in order to address the issue of the thread 🙂

Just heard, Wii has sold 3 million units,good news or what? Just another 18million to go to catch DS sales 🙂

Wii has been out a month, the DS a couple years now. It's got a considerable lead.

Aaaaaand from what I heard today at work, might be a full month before people can expect to be able to get any more DSs. Damn I'm glad I grabbed mine when I did.

I was thinking of getting a DS Lite Protector (light blue) for mine but don't know if it will look weird... 😕
Might get a Sweet Pouch (blue) 😊

I'm taking a lot of my old ps2 games down to gamestation where you can trade in your old games for other games, or they will buy them off you for cash... then I will get ds games danceemo

I need to get Animal Crossing because everyone is going on about it and I feel left out 👇
I have New Super Mario Bros, Brain Training & Sims 2 Pets... which came with my dslite as xmas presents.

I want to get:

Wario Ware
Sonic Rush
Point Blank
Mario Kart
Mario 64 Ds
Trauma Center
Yoshi's island
42 All-Time Classics

and now possibly Meteos after BF suggestion because I do like puzzle games 😄

and loads and loads more... 😛

I wish I was rich so I could buy all the games in the world weep

For those of you in the States, 42 All Time Classics is what you call Clubhouse games.

Great if you have DS friends, for the Darts alone!

Get Animal Crossing! It's fun in multiplayer. Ush and I raided each others towns earlier. He stole my fish.

I'm thinking I might buy Mario Kart tomorrow, as tomorrow I will have money.

I've been looking at that game at work, actually.

...I should probably make a thread for DS friend codes, since there's so many people who have it on here...

I didn 't see any 'No Fishing' signs...

Oh well, I stole some of the people from your town, apparently.

😂

I can't do online gaming yet... being on stupid Dial up disgust

but soon... soon.... hopefully early 2007 I will join the broadband family.. wub
