Hey, I dig Nintendo as much as the next guy. But how much immersion into the Nintendo world do we really need anyway? OK, I am rambling. At any rate, Engadget has been thoughtful enough to show yet another set of really cool pics for the upcoming Nintendo DS handheld gaming delight. Man, I can hardly wait to get my hands on one.

Can you believe that the Nintendo DS is just over five weeks away from hitting stores? At least it’ll be hitting stores in theory. Nintento admitted last week that there will probably be a massive shortage of the dual-screen portable game console, something which will likely spark a nasty round of eBay price gouging and a massive number of Jingle All the Way-style tussles between manic parents trying to frantically to find one for their bratty kids.
