I said "I think" the DS will have those problems to overcome. When someone says they "think", it is another way of saying that it is their opinion on something. So, please read before you post.

TOKYO--The Nintendo DS is the third best-selling video game console for the week of October 11-17, Nikkei BP Consulting reports today. Of course, the machine isn\'t out until December 2 in Japan, but electronics retailers are including preorders for the system in their sales calculations. First place in this week\'s chart went to Nintendo\'s other handheld, the Game Boy Advance SP. The standard PlayStation 2 hardware was ranked at second place, and fourth place was taken by preorders for the upcoming redesigned version of the PS2. The Nintendo GameCube came in at fifth place.

If you haven\'t heard about the Nintendo DS yet, you probably will. Nintendo is rolling out its most expensive marketing blitz ever for the launch of its new handheld system, and the company today announced specific details of where that money will go. The ad campaign will revolve around the phrase "Touching is good," which Nintendo seems to be inviting consumers to interpret whichever way they like. Officially, the slogan\'s meaning is rather benign. "Since childhood, we\'ve been told \'Please do not touch. Don\'t touch that lamp, stop touching your food, and don\'t touch anything in this store,\'" today\'s press release reads. "Nintendo DS changes those rules." Of course, it\'s easy to interpret the phrase in less innocent terms--especially when reading the advertorials that Nintendo will place in upcoming issues of men\'s magazines Maxim, Blender, and Stuff, with an attractive model holding a DS and teaching players "How to Score." Other advertisements will also aggressively target the teen and adult demographic. Steve-O and Chris Pontius, stars of MTV\'s Jackass and Wildboyz, will be featured in a television ad produced by MTV. The pair will play a wireless multiplayer game on the DS while "engaging in one of their exciting trademark adventures," which, given the content of their shows, probably means having their faces bitten by an alligator or covering their reproductive organs in wasps. Another TV ad beginning on October 25 will feature a static-filled screen and a mysterious female voice asking viewers to interact with objects on the screen by touching them. Three more TV ads will follow during the system\'s launch period, which begins on November 21, when the DS hits retail stores. And Nintendo DS trailers will also run on more than 5,000 movie screens across the country. By Chris Kohler -- GameSpotPOSTED: 10/25/04 12:22 PM PST
All of Sony\'s money must finally be talking to Nintendo.
Nintendo has unveiled a pair of side-scrolling DS titles based around familiar characters in Japan this week, according to reports relayed from the pages of Famitsu Weekly. One stars Princess Peach, the other Kirby.Although neither game has an official release date yet, there are a few details as to how they work scattered about. The first title, "Super Princess Peach", apparently uses a similar graphical style to SNES classic Yoshi\'s Island, and sees Mario\'s recurring belle using her parasol to float over gaps and attack enemies. There\'s no word on how the game will make use of the touch-screen, but given it\'s a Nintendo title we imagine it\'s unlikely to ignore it."Touch! Kirby: Mahou no Efude", on the other hand, hands the pink blob another prop to play around with. In this year\'s GBA title Kirby And The Amazing Mirror he was handed a mobile phone; this time he\'s got his hands (if you can call them that) on a paintbrush, and word is that you\'ll be able to draw rainbow tracks on the touch-screen to guide the little fella around brightly coloured environments.We\'ll bring you more on both titles as soon as we can. The Nintendo DS, in case you\'ve forgotten already, is due out in the US on November 21st priced $149.99, and in Japan on December 2nd.
