Touch! DS Coverage
The handheld hits the streets of Japan in the first of several public events.
November 03, 2004 - America may be getting the Nintendo DS first, with the stateside launch preceding the Japanese launch by about a week, but the Japanese public was the first to get its hands on the system. The DS made its world public debut on Wednesday morning in the city of Nagoya, a 100 minute bullet train ride from Tokyo. The first in a nationwide tour of Nintendo World Touch! DS events, this event gave the Japanese public a first chance to touch the DS for itself. IGN was, of course, in attendance.
The show was held at the Port Messe convention center, with Nintendo turning the hall's interior into a festival of Nintendo. Dozens of kiosks let gamers try out the latest games from Nintendo and its third parties. A central stage featured competitions involving games like Donkey Konga 2 and also provided the latest info on upcoming titles like Pokemon Dash. Another stage show centered on Pictochat, giving players who wrote messages a chance to win a DS system.
Admission to the event was free for all, but there were some advantages for being a hardcore Nintendo fanatic. Those having attained platinum status at Nintendo's Club Nintendo website, which means they purchased a practically illegal amount of Nintendo-related games, were given a pass at entrance which granted special treatment. A few demo kiosks for the more popular games were reserved exclusively for Platinum members, although to be honest the number of platinum members often equaled or outnumbered the number of regular fans. Thankfully, platinum members got another bonus, shown in the pictures at the bottom of this page.
The full gamut of NDS software was shown, either in playable or non-playable form. Kirby took center stage in his DS debut, drawing the longest lines across its eight playable kiosks. Harvest Moon was also shown for the first time at the show along side Ganbare Goemon. Other games at the show, including Another, Meteos and Zoo Keeper, had been shown at Nintendo's Japanese NDS press briefing last month, but this was our first chance to get hands-on time with them.
There was a non DS presence as well. GameCube and Game Boy Advance took up their own corners of the hall, complete with new playable titles of their own. For Game Boy Advance, Nintendo showed off recently announced titles like Nono No Puzzle, The Tower SP and Yoshi's Universal Gravitation (we finally got to play it!). GameCube featured the debuts of Chibi Robo! and Fire Emblem along with what looked to be a slightly updated Star Fox.
We'll have non DS coverage from the Nintendo World show shortly, but we've first gone about putting together playtests for all the NDS games. Follow the links below for more on the NDS's upcoming Japanese lineup.

DS event will continue to Osaka next week, arriving in Tokyo a couple of weeks from now. By then, you'll probably have had a chance to touch the DS for yourself on American shores.
