Title: Nintendo DS game footage!
Post by: Mario Maniac on October 11, 2004, 12:25:35 PM
Go to Gamespot.com to see new Nintendo DS game footage.

I downloaded a video for Metroid Prime: Hunters, and it looks incredible! The graphics are amazing, with very detailed environments and sweet lighting effects. The game runs very smoothly, with no slowdown at all. The 4 player wireless battles will be very cool!

I also downloaded a video for Super Mario 64 DS. That game is going to be so much fun! There are many new features that are improved upon the original game, such as the obvious 4 player battle modes. But you can also switch between Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario while playing the single-player mode! Super Mario 64 DS has amazing graphics, that really show off the power of the Nintendo DS. The game has very detailed environments and everything runs very smooth, with no slowdown at all! Super Mario 64 DS has NEW LEVELS and NEW ITEMS that will add to this already fantastic game!

I am so anxious to get a Nintendo DS! Only a few more weeks until November 21...

I saw pictures from both, and I am extremly psyched about 64DS. There will be another new Mario too, check nintendo.com.

...Why would the launch games, which presumably use the least amount ot potential processor power, slow down? Besides that, when did N64 slow down? Or do you mean frameskip?

I think they might be trying to compare it to the PSP.

Off Topic: What if Microsoft really does release a handheld?

On topic:
Also check out the 2nd video for Tiger Wood golf tour 2005 DS (or whatever it's called) to see the DS boot screen.  The Tiger Wood's game locks up so they have to reboot in about the first 20 or 30 seconds of the 2nd video.

Off topic:
Microsoft is making a handheld system.  As I said in another thread, it's codename is XBrick for it supposed durability.  They are making it extremely tough, water proof, and shielded like the laptops and other electronics the military uses.  Microsoft even plans connectivity for the new system. Supposedly you will be able to connect the system to a to any cable that is long enough and use it as a boat anchor.  Although you should be sure to slowly let it into the water or its splash could cause a wave big enough to wipe out Japan.  Maybe that's Microsoft plan for beating Nintendo and Sony.
