News: And in a weird twist, the game will only be available online.
Nintendo has finally announced the release date to their DS "musical toy" Electroplankton. After saying it would be out sometime in 2005, Nintendo has locked down the release date as January 9, 2006.
"Electroplankton, made exclusively for Nintendo DS, doesn't fit the traditional definition of a video game. It features 10 different musical modes that let the user create melodies using the microphone and touch screen. Electroplankton is something that could only be played on Nintendo DS. Its dual screens, touch screen and microphone provide the perfect palette for artistic creation," said Nintendo.
In a move to separate the title from other DS games, Nintendo will only offer Electroplankton at the Nintendo World Store in New York City and through online retailers (including Nintendo.com).
Why Nintendo would choose to do this, when most major online retailers have some kind of brick-and-mortar presence, is unknown.
Needless to say, if you're one of the many DS owners who wants Electroplankton, the time is near.
