Erm, well....ok.

Not system seller but I actually like poker and chess.

Wonder what the unnamed feature is........

[Nights]

Strip poker probably....

lol

[Michael Bluth]

Did anybody else pick-up on how '3D' was mentioned twice?

[Viper]

Yes...why?

ARM 9 will produce the 3D graphics.

I'd assume the un-named feature would be touch screen (it'd be easier to choose the card than cycle through with D-pad) since it hasn't actually been officially announced, although it's a bout a 98% chance it'll be in.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

^your probably right.

but... man i couldnt care less about this game. maybe it could be unique. who knows.

[Bloodman]

i like the interaction thing with the other players, that'll be nice :)

[Markopolo356]

Sounds... interesting. By the way, chess was mentioned twice.

[r33hash]

Touch screen was announced, wasnt it. Thats not an un-named feature.

[majik ninja]

...card/board games a gay

[Resident Darkness]

I won't be getting a DS for a while, but I will get this game when I do. I never get bored of those games.

Not exactly the immediate sell, admittedly, but there are unconfirmed rumors that Konami is working on a new Castlevania.
