Nintendo DS revealed...
« on: May 11, 2004, 11:22:27 PM »
This is the next-level of the GBA, made to compete directly against the Sony PSP.

Just as the graphics of the PSP are enhanced Playstation level...the graphics for the DS will be enhanced N64 level.

It has two screens, one of which is a touchscreen that will allow you to use a stylus to interact with the game worlds.








Backwards compatible, uses a stylus, +/-$150, Bluetooth wireless.

A new Metroid game, on the Nintendo DS, and it'll be a launch title. And the 3d? IT. IS. STUNNING. Picture Metroid Prime in your hands, because from where I was sitting, that's exactly what it looked like. And more great details - you tap where you want to fire! No aiming, no odd 3D fidgeting. And here we go - the stats start flying.

For starters, the DS has two media bays - complete backward compatibility with the GBA is here! With two big control enhancements - touch screen can be used as an on game keyboard, and you could use it to draw (yes, there will be drawing software..). And - another stadium rocking announcement, there will be a built in microphone - for VOICE recognition in games. The crowd is frothing, and even I'm losing control at this point - exciting. And here's where one of the big, big questions gets answered;

What is Nintendo's online strategy?!

How about this - the DS supports 16 player wireless at 100 feet apart! Instant chat, draw, sending pictures to each other, and... If you get in range of other people, the DS automatically turns on, and activates online mode if you want.

Quote

“When Nintendo came down and presented the DS platform to us, … I think everyone was in shock. It was amazing. … Our technical and central technology guys were kind of drooling at the abilities and wanting so much to program and dive into programming for the system. … Nintendo DS, I believe, is a revolution in change for hand-held gaming.”
– Will Kassoy, vice president, global brand management, Activision

“I believe that Square Enix has a promising chance in the platform, since Nintendo DS allows users to experience whole new game play with both its input system and its output system.”
– Yoichi Wada, president and representative director, Square Enix

“The Nintendo dual screen is something that we’re really excited about developing for. It’s very innovative, which is classic Nintendo.”
– Nick Earl, vice president and general manager, Electronic Arts

“The fact that touch panels can be associated with many terms about touching that we never had, such as touch, push, feel, rub, slide and pat is wonderful. … I have been working in this industry for 20 years. During that time I made many games. But I think this is the first time that we have a new input device.”
– Yuji Naka, senior corporate officer, development division, Sega

“Once again Nintendo is taking another leap in the gaming experience for the gamer by providing totally new game-play experiences, developing new gaming habits. Very characteristic of a Nintendo maneuver.”
– Jay Cohen, vice president, publishing, Ubisoft

– more –


Nintendo DS is “a new game machine that will build the future of the game industry. … Our frontier spirit has been awoken.”
– Tsunekazu Ishihara, chairman and CEO, Pokémon

“This has a huge potential. … It is very nice that we can create games using DS that were not even possible before.”
– Yoichi Haraguchi, vice president and executive officer, Namco

“Nintendo has a reputation for doing extraordinary things in the hand-held space. The DS is an extraordinary device, and we are going to do everything in our power to support it.”
– Michael Pole, executive vice president, worldwide studios, Vivendi Universal Games

“Nintendo DS is going to push the hand-held technology to really uncharted territories. By that I mean that it’s going to bring amazing new game mechanics, new game design.”
– Yves Blehaut, senior vice president, Atari

“I think the DS will stimulate the process of game development.”
– Tomofumi Gotsubo, president and CEO, Konami of America

“DS is deceptively amazing. … Touch screen is a very blank canvas for a game designer to be able to design their own input features. … DS really could be a killer to PSP. … I really think the Nintendo DS could kick the crap out of Sony PSP.”
– Kevin Ray, chief technology officer, Majesco

“The wireless capability potentially allows game players to connect wirelessly literally around the world.”
– Brian Farrell, president and CEO, THQ

“I am sure people have nice memory of yelling at a controller. Now, we have a more established function of inputting our voice. … Nintendo always pleasantly surprises us with interesting projects and interesting ideas.”
– Keiji Inafune, producer, Capcom

DS stands for Developers System. What is being said is that more consumers are geared towards the PSP and more developers are geared towards the DS.
Here is the entire Nintendo Press conference http://www.e3insider.com/articles/floored/.../63TIV6VPE1.htm
THere are more on this site. Streaming video, highspeed is recomended.

Emulators for the PSP seem strange to think of now. Even though there may be a way in the future to do it, it seems difficult now. The PSP is using a special kind of disc made by sony (forgot the name) and again its looks like a minidisc. And we all know how easy it is to get our hands on those kinds of discs (Gamecube). Eh, you never know. People always tend to find ways around things.

Actually its both Developers System and Dual Screen :) . the Dual Screen was the name given to it by sites that heard of the rumor. Nintendo did not name it anything except DS and hearing it had 2 screens people called it Dual Screen.

the presenter at the Nintendo Press con called it the Developers System. Thats when DS's name was revealed.


Here is the press conference:
