shaman duelist1 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 The new Game Boy Advance DS has two srceens instend of ONE! The hand held game has a better look at the RPG's games. The bottom srceen is for the person's player, and the top is for the map, items, and health and armor.That is all I know right now. I will update again if any thing else comes up!

Beorhun Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I actually heard more about that. The DS isn't exactly a new GBA, but it's nintendo's new handheld that's supposed to combat the PSP. There are a few games that have been announced for it: Metroid Prime: Hunters, Mario 64x4, Dynasty Warriors, etc. The graphics on the DS are comparable to somewhere between the PS1 and the Nintendo 64. It uses a touch screen for the top screen, and the buttons work the bottom. All that I've seen of it is the version that was press released at E3, but I hear that Nintendo's redesigning it to look a bit smaller and to have some analog control to make playing 3D games more playable (like Metroid Prime or Dynasty Warriors.) It should be out by mid to fall 2005. ;) Mario 64x4 is kind of a successor to Mario 64, and it is undoubtledly the best looking DS game, and hopefully it controls well, I haven't actually seen it played, I've just seen screenshots. Hunters looks like a PS1 title, which isn't bad for a portable gaming system, but the controls sound downright wierd. You use the touch screen and stylus to fire shots and look around, while using the control pad to move Samus around. Dynasty Warriors is also being released for the PSP, and it looks a little bit better on the PSP (note: for those of you who don't know, Dynasty Warriors is a hack-n-slash game that takes place in ancient China.) That's all I know, I'll post if I find out anything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 [color=#4B0082]We've already got a thread about the [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=36436][u]Nintendo DS[/u][/url], so please use that thread if you'd like to talk about the DS. And in the future, please run a search to check if there's already a thread covering a certain subject before creating one of your own. Before I close this, though, I should mention that some of the details posted here are wrong. The DS isn't the next Game Boy system, but a completely new handheld; a successor to the GBA will be released at a later date. Second, the bottom screen is the one that has touch screen capabilities, not the top screen. Check out the thread I linked to for more info; it's got pretty much all the latest news about the DS posted or linked to in it.
