Nintendo recently sent out a convenient list of release dates for high-profile software in the EU region. The complete list follows (note that Twilight Princess has a vague Q4 release date, to intentionally remove any sort of Wii launch speculation), but of particular note is the fast-approaching DS Browser, which has yet to receive an official release date in North America. Set for October 6th, 2006, it looks like Europeans will be getting their browse on a bit earlier than us backwards folk. For a full review on the browser, see here.DS Lineup

Does anybody have a probable MSRP for the browser?
The browser should be pretty fast if it uses nintendo WFC.
Have you seen how little Metroid Hunters lags?

I believe the Opera website lists the MSRP at 39.99. Since it doesn't use flash it should be very fast at loading the webpages. Honestly most people will use it to check news sites and email while on the tram.

Niiiiice, my birthday is on October 18th and all, and my brother works at a game store. :D
I'll be browing soon enough, this is gonna be awesome for my college days with the DS's ability to leach off any wireless connections.

Another reason for me to become a patron of my local import store. I shun it when I'm in the area, for fear that I will be sucked in and end up spending fifty dollars on a handheld game that isn't in my language. But hey, the English speak English right? I could probably get a browser!

$40?
That's way too expensive... what good is it?
I mean... you can go on the internet where there's free access... whoopdee fricken doo.
I usually can't get my WFC to work at places like that anyways.
I assume it's required to go through redirect pages though... so maybe.

That was what I was wondering. What exactly are 42 All-Time Classics, and do they deserve to be called classics.

The DS Opera Browser will support macromedia flash as well as a few other "unconfirmed" things.
42 All-Time Classics huh... sounds promissing from Nintendo. Does that meant I won't have to pay 20-30 dollars for old nes titles in a gba cart anymore? Hellz yeah.
