During the Nintendo press conference held today in Japan, it has been announced that the American launch of the Nintendo DualScreen will consist of ten launch titles, retailing for a reasonably priced $29.99 each. Thanks to the strong 3rd-party support for the DS, it is also expected that up to twenty titles will be available for the DS by the first half of 2005.
The following games - most of which will integrate DS features such as touch screen input and wireless gaming - are due for release at or soon after the launch date in the US:
- Asphalt Urban GT (Ubisoft)
- Feel the Magic XY/XX (Sega)
- Madden NFL 2005 (Electronic Arts)
- Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits (Namco)
- Ping Pals (THQ)
- Rayman DS (Ubisoft)
- Ridge Racer DS (Namco)
- Spider-Man 2 (Activision)
- Super Mario 64 DS (Nintendo)
- Tiger Woods 2005 (Electronic Arts)
- The Urbz: Sims in the City (Electronic Arts)
This coupled in with the fact that the DS will come bundled with a Metroid Prime: Hunters demo and the ability to play Gameboy Advance carts right out of the box will ensure that gamers will be kept very busy during the launch period. RP
