Bruce has been posting us stuff from the floor of E3 for the past 3
years. He's definently not a BS'er.

No price for DS yet. It'll be between $99 and $129. Final part costs
are being calculated and the competition analyzed.The only Mario news
I am hearing is it is far along. It's either going to join Zelda as a
marque games for 05 or become a launch title for N5. There is a
serious rumor that Mario is going to be a bit less Cortooney.

Zelda is using about 100% of the GC's total power. It uses all of the
Flippers hardware effects and Gecko's lighting power. One of the
features of the game is to show everyone that Nintendo can make high
end graphics, if they choose, the talent is there.

Don't doubt Nintendo.

One last tasty.

Castlevrnia DS.
