    Just woke up....

    ...and release games are
    Asphalt Urban GT (Gameloft/Ubisoft) 
    Mr. DRILLER: Drill Spirits (Namco) 
    Ping Pals (THQ)  
    Pokémon Dash (Nintendo) 
    Polarium (Nintendo)  
    Project Rub (SEGA)  
    Rayman DS (Ubisoft)   
    Robots (Vivendi)
    Spider-Man 2 (Activision)
    Sprung: The Dating Game (Gameloft/Ubisoft)
    Super Mario 64 DS (Nintendo)
    The URBZ: Sims in the City (EA)
    Tiger Woods PGA TOUR (EA)
    WarioWare Touched! (Nintendo)

    Great to see that the euro release will have more strong releases (warioware touched YUM! , Zoo Keeper and Rayman are definites on my list)

    I'm liking that price. I may wait. Mario vs Donkey Kong is keeping the good ol' GBA SP ticking over nicely.

    The price includes VAT. However I wouldn't be surprised if a few unscrupulous stores charged over the odds for it *cough* Game *cough*

    I wouldn't be surprised if it began retailing for €160 here (although £99 = €143) yet €149 is a good price, although still cheaper in the States. According to Eurogamer, games are to retail from £20 to £30 (that's €30 and €45 to you and me). While I wouldn't have so much a problem paying €30 a game, €45 is just too high. It's something that has put me off purchasing GBA games in the past.

    Sounds like an excellent deal. Mind you, I'd only go and do something daft like wear the t-shirt.

    That would be an awesome deal, those two games are mandatory

    Sounds like Ninty are grabbing this competition by the balls!

    Nintendo's "Touch Me" campaign will be backed by 35 million euros, says NoE. The Nintendo DS launches across Europe on 11th March 2005 and will be supported by the largest ever marketing campaign for a Nintendo handheld product. The integrated 'Touch Me!' campaign incorporates TV, print, in-store, POS, sampling, online and PR.

    Got paid today. I really regret my friends dragging me to Stockholm in March. Otherwise I'd have ordered on of these already and have money for a PSP whenever the price drops to sane levels.
