Thumbs On - Nintendo DS

Those lucky folks over at IGN have gotten their dirty little mittens on a Nintendo DS. There are a bunch of pictures and a very good explanation of everything that is included in the box. A few highlights include the "thumb strap" which is part of the lanyard and, of course, the demo for "Metroid Prime: Hunters". The "thumb strap" is a little plastic piece that fits over your right thumb giving you a slick way to use the touchpad without messing up the screen with your cheeseburger fingers. The demo of "MP:H" is called "Metroid Prime: First Hunt" and comes in a cardboard cover. The cartridge is much smaller than a GBA cartridge. If you weren't excited about the DS before then this article just might get you there. I can't wait for ours to come in.
