Can YOU figure it out? Its "supposed" to be included in this bit of text somewhere... Your guess is as good as mine. I think its 2nd October, but why is FINAL FANTASY in caps...?

""The fourth quarter of 2006 will herald a new era for Nintendo with the launch of its remarkable new Wii home video game system. But that's not what this news item is about! How could that be, you ask? Perhaps the secret to the launch information for Wii is somehow encoded in the text of this news item. You might want to pore over it for a few hours before staying up all night to debate phraseology and comma placement with your friends online. Or maybe it's all just a scam to get you to read the other games we have launching this fall. One of the two.



As the weather cools down, the Nintendo portable game offerings heat up. FINAL FANTASY V ADVANCE makes its way to Game Boy Advance SP on Nov. 6. As series go, FINAL FANTASY is to video games what James Bond is to movies. FINAL FANTASY loyalists will enjoy an opportunity to debate which installment was best.

Nintendo DS owners are the big winners. Every week or so, another huge DS title hits, from the Touch Generations title Clubhouse Games to fan favorites like Elite Beat Agents and Yoshi's Island 2. Clearly a gamer's idea of paradise, here is Nintendo's upcoming DS lineup:

Oct. 9: Clubhouse Games
Oct. 16: Nintendogs (Dalmatian)
Oct. 23: Magical Starsign
Oct. 30: Pokémon Ranger
Oct. 30: Children of Mana
Nov. 6: Elite Beat Agents
Nov. 13: Yoshi's Island 2
Dec. 4: Custom Robo Arena
Dec. 4: Kirby Squeak Squad

And, for Nintendo GameCube owners, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be available for you this fall. An enhanced version also will be a launch title for Wii. That will all happen on... Oh look, we're out of space.

For more information about all of Nintendo's upcoming titles, please visit http://www.nintendo.com."

Are there any good DS games? Especially multiplayer-wise?

My friend (who is also my neighbour) suggested we both get one. So far the only reason for me to buy one is the webbrowser

Web browser dont support flash. Im not buying it because of that alone. :(

Theres some decent games tho. I hear Pheonix Wright is good, and trama center is the win. New mario is fun. Nintendogs is fun for a while until the novelty wears off. i really havent played any "bad" ds games honestly. Im sure there out there. but again i dont buy any random game.

I heard Oct 1st.
Why?
They don't want to release Wii in the same week as a DS hit game. They are releasing it between start of 4th quarter and thanksgiving. That leaves Oct1, and Nov 20, but the latter is after the PS3 comes out, so Oct1 is more likely. It is also a sunday.

There are bad DS games, really. But it's usually pretty obvious which ones are crap.

seems like people are really trying to crack the "code". you figure its going to be out october/novemberish sometime and just leave it at that.

i guess its hard for me to get excited about the wii or any of the new consoles.
