One of the major complaints about the Nintendo DS after its showing at E3 was that it ugly as all hell, and while I sort of thought people were overreacting just a little, I can’t say I was upset when Nintendo unveiled this final hardware design of a much more angular and adult-looking DS. Nintendo has confirmed that “DS” will be the official name of the unit, as well, and it should ship in Japan around November 4th for around €140 (~$170) and follow in the US a week later for just a little more. The DS also has been confirmed to include actual stereo sound without headphones and an integrated storage place for the stylus.
Now as soon as we see what the launch titles are, we should be able to tell if this is going to be hot or not. (Thanks, Mark!)
