Super Mario 64 DS and Spider-Man 2 highlight a US launch lineup that will consist of 10 to 12 titles. Also, Japanese launch details, Final Fantasy III confirmed.

In the wee hours before it takes the wraps off its soon-to-be-released DS portable gaming system, Nintendo released new details on the upcoming platform's US software lineup at launch and beyond. As noted previously, the system is slated to ship November 21 at an SRP of $149.99. However, since Nintendo's release of those details several weeks ago, there has been little word on the software lineup for the fledgling device. Now, new details have finally emerged that help paint a broader picture of the software that will be available for the system and some of the system's unique features.

Cont...

At present the new venture is being called "Exclaim," but this is apparently only a temporary name and is likely to be replaced before the firm starts trading. Cousens is joined in the new venture by Europlay Capital Advisers, the Los Angeles based firm which is headed by industry veterans Sean Brennan and Mark Dyne and has advised on a number of major industry deals in recent years.

It's expected that along with the Cheltenham and Manchester studios - accounting for some 160 employees - "Exclaim" will also take possession of several of Acclaim's products in development, including Interview with a Made Man and Heist.

Have you even read this article:

You can play as Luigi, Yoshi, or Wario! They each have their own unique abilities! The minigames are stylus-driven! What isn't to like?

I liked SM64, until I could beat it 20-billion times (extreme exaggeration) which made it boring. I knew the game inside and out! There was no point in playing it anymore. SM64DS sounds much better because a lot of new things are added to the original.

I peronally wish that Nintendo would stop remaking old games, and perhaps make new ones in an updated style with different levels, etc. I'd pay for a Super Mario World 2 on the GBA.

Super Mario World 2 is already out for the GBA
#7.2 Stef Nighthawk on 08 Oct 2004 - 10:58
indeed, the subtitle of Super Mario World 2 is Yoshi's Island.

I wouldn't mind the original "Super Mario Bros. 2" (the Japanese one, known as "Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels" in the USA) being remade for the GBA. It would be nice to play the original.
