I've been a long-time Nintendo supporter, but I just don't get this one. The two screens... seem pretty pointless. That said, a lot of journalists at E3 seem to be loving the DS, so maybe i'm just missing something.

One of the screens is a touch screen so you could easily play a shooter on your DS.

I dont get it. How will a touch screen help you play shooters (first person??) better?

Nintendo DS to launch in North America before Thanksgiving - reports
Tom Bramwell 11:05 12/08/2004
Sources "confident" of suggested date.
Nintendo DS will launch in North America in late November, according to unconfirmed reports quoting publishing sources at the Ziff-Davis Electronic Gaming Summit.
Third-party publishers are reportedly "confident" that the portable will be on store shelves in North America in time for Thanksgiving and the traditional start of the US Christmas rush.
This seems to tally with what Japanese retail sources were saying in mid-July. At the time, this website [reported] comments indicating that the DS would launch in the US on November 11th at $179.95 (?145) following a November 4th launch at 19,000 yen (?140) in Japan.
However, reports this week also had publishers citing concerns over the as-yet unknown launch line-up, with some worried that most of the system's big titles were expected in Q1 2005. Japanese retail sources in July suggested that 11 titles would be released by the end of 2004.
But, in the absence of official confirmation from Nintendo, for the moment it's impossible to measure exactly how things will unfold. The last word from the platform holder was that the DS would be released in Japan and North America in "late 2004".

In a press release today, Nintendo announced that pretty much every game anyone would want will be available at launch. When asked what this would mean for future launches, a spokesperson told reporters, 'Instead of trickling out good releases once or twice a year, we're just going to release them all at once.'
In other news, the PSP is still delayed, due to unreasonable ambition and poor planning, including low battery life and a poor selection of launch titles. Sony spokespersons remain optimistic despite the facts.
Reports are now coming in that Nintendo of America has been sighted travelling in the direction of the bank; witnesses in several areas reported laughing, however it is not clear whether Nintendo was laughing all the way, or merely a good portion of the way, to said bank.
