A commentor on Engadget said this:

I heard that FYE in Manhattan is already breaking the release date and have started selling their stock. Anybody been able to buy one yet?

I played Metroid Prime: First Hunt at the local Best Buy last week and I can’t wait to get my hands on the DS I preordered. I hope Nintendo lets all the retailers sell early.

Added a countdown timer for the DS launch to my sidebar.

Nintendo posted a new movie of DS game clips here. Bugeyed DS has identified each game in the movie.

My favorite DS Movie is still this one, though.

I really want to preorder the Nintendo DS to guarantee that I’ll have it on day 1. The problem is that I’m not 100% sure that I’ll have fun with the launch titles.

IGN has a list of titles that will be available at or soon after launch. Given that none of my coworkers plan to purchase the DS right away, games like Metroid: Hunters(multi-player only) don’t automatically make the decision for me. BUT, what will the Wifi game lobby look like? My decision to buy hinges on that question.

The Nintendo E-Reader format has been reverse engineered! Now, small homebrew games can be turned into E-Reader cards that you can print out. Nice. E-Readers are about $40, though, which is about half the cost of a full-on Flash Cart that can hold much larger games.
