- Nintendo announced they will launch the Nintendo DS in Japan on December 2, for 15000 yen. The US launch will take place on November 21, for $149.99. The battery life is 6-10 hours depending on the application.

- Nintendo announced that the Nintendo DS is not backward compatible with GameBoy or GameBoy Color games; all GameBoy Advance games will work on Nintendo DS in single player mode only.

- Nintendo also revealed that a playable demo of the Nintendo DS first person shooter Metroid Prime: First Hunt will be bundled with Nintendo DS in North America this fall; in addition, the drawing and text based chatting application PictoChat will be embedded into the Nintendo DS system, allowing players to chat wirelessly with others.

- Nintendo is planning to ship 4 million units of Nintendo DS worldwide by the end of the current fiscal year, which ends in March 2005.

4 million worldwide is a bit optimistic is it not? Then again this is the new Nintendo handheld and the others have sold stupidly fast. Is the GBA outselling the PS2 at the moment? I knew it was close once upon a time.
