Nintendo announces 100 DS developers, 40-plus games
Massive game-maker touts its portable's growing catalog, massive third-party support.
Today in the Japanese press, Nintendo announced that it has shipped DS software development kits to more than 100 companies worldwide. That figure puts the DS a nose ahead of the PSP for third-party support: Sony claims 99 developers are on board for its new handheld.
So far, the DS game catalog is a varied bunch. First-party games are a perennial strength for Nintendo, and it's not surprising that they are the cornerstone of its new platform's catalog. So far, Nintendo has announced the following DS games:
Nintendo
Animal Crossing DS
Mario Kart DS
Metroid Prime: Hunters*
Nintendogs
PictoChat (software that lets players send instant messages and drawings using the DS's wireless capabilities.)*
Super Mario 64x4
