too cool! congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cooooooooooolllll!!! Can't wait for it to be released. better start saving up my money!

We think they are aiming for a late 2007 release!

Yay!

Awww, do I have to buy another game system?

Well if you _do_ have to, the DS is not a bad choice.

Wow Just Wow I never thought your game will get to Mobile AND DS Wow.
Well any srceenshot? And I got my DS but I lost that pen thing

Do you mean you lost the stylus, Nemyar? I'll be happy because I've got the old DS and the white DS Lite! And has anyone noticed the little hand right in the corner of the FT DS game cover?

Sweet, I know of three little boys at my house that will want it! To bad you don't need beta testers for this one.

I don't mind buying a new game system (right now we have GameCube); it just the cost of getting a library of games. We were looking to possibly buy Wii for a Christmas Gift this year. But, I really like LDW and like to support them.

Yes, I like the games you produce but I really appreciate the fact that you have these forums for help and assistance. I'm not a supergamer, I like games that are casual and relaxing. With the forums, you, LDW, are always available to help with tech problems; and, the guides are great for people who really want to know more.

FYI Margi, the DS is a handheld game and not a consol game.

I would highly recommend the Wii. We have one, and where as the graphics are not as good as the PSP3, the Wii is still alot more fun to play.

I can't wait for this to come out, as now I have to fight the boys for my HP iPaq, for all the games I have on it. Hopefully, this will help get my iPaq back a little more often.

Warren, do you mean those little Gameboys? If so, we have two of them -- one for the niece, one for the nephew.

We also have the adapter to play Gameboy games on the GameCube.

Close, it is the next generation of Gameboys. It has a touch pad similar to the Palm device, as well as another screen. They are about twice the size of a gameboy. I'm not sure if there is a way to play DS games on the game cube like there is for the gameboy, but there could be. We also have the cable to play gameboy games on the cube, but we do not have one for the DS.

Here is the link to the DS.

Congratulations!!

I think the DS might be a great Christmas present for the nephew who is 11. It's a shame his birthday is in February.

I'm going to do more research on it. Thanks Warren.

The price on the DS has come way down...I think they are around $100 now, no?

It has very innovative titles, so we're happy to be among them.

Warren/Arthur, I wrote an email to Nintendo to see if there were adapaters for GameCube or if they play to do so in the future.

Anyway, I think this might be a good gift, providing he can be good. LOL

The niece is already cutting her Christmas list, she wanted a new cellphone with the bluetooth ear adapter. Thought to myself, I like that and I'll get it. Now, the poor girl is grounded and the cell phone bill came in -- she not only used all the monthly minutes, used all the rollover and still had over $130 in excess calls. Needless to say, auntie isn't too happy with the bill. Thinking of going back to pay-as-you go for her!

Thank But No Thank. I aleady make my own stylus and it work very well. And Yeah I saw it too.

This from an article on Eurogamer.com

.........
As well as version-specific controls, the DS release also promises over 750 fish - nearly twice as many as on the PC - along with 3D environments, new tank decorations, and four speed options

wow 750 fish nice!!

Yay! Can't wait, I'll bet my uncle will get it. I like the cover. It has Nemo and Dory and Gill and Bubbles !

Yes, this is not a fresh water tank like FT, they went to salt water baby! Yeah!!

I might haft to go out and buy a nintendo ds just for this game

Yeah, same here!!!!

I foresee the game system being a Christmas gift for my nephew who lives with me. He'll be a good boy and let his beautiful, kind, loving sweet aunt use it too.

Oh, I wrote to Nintendo to find out if the system is compatible with GameCube like the Gameboy's are. Answer -- NO! It is something they might do in the future but not on the drawing board.

Very excited! I'm so happy to see that even more people will have the chance to discover the wonders of addiction to their little fish. Congrats once again for your success and a job well done.

750 fish! That's a LOT of fish!

Majesco has posted screen shots of the game on their site!

sounds cool. i have got to get that

At first I thought that this was just a port, glad to hear that its not. I'll go ahead and pre-order it. I'm happy to see that its only twenty bucks.
To be honest though, I would much rather see Plant Tycoon or Virtual Villagers on the DS. The graphics(PC version) are much better and would probably look better on the DS, whereas the main drawback for FT DS will probably be the graphics. On the bright side, it'll definately look better on the DS than the PC because of the smaller screen.

P.S.-First post.

You can pre-order the game from Amazon right now!



Game should ship mid October!!

Here is the link to Amazon

Awesome I can't wait to get this for my ds.

Small update: Fish Tycoon DS is scheduled to be released on October 16th!

SWEET!!

CANT WAIT!!!

I want it but don't have a ds

My kid does

I have one will there be a forum for the ds version?

I might haft to buy one

I have 2 Nintendo DS's... LOL.

i have one, my brother has one, and my other brother has one.

I have one

So...who wants to put out a guide for Fish Tycoon for DS? Its a little bit different and I've come across some additional fish, which is awesome.
PS to the above post: is one of your brothers named Darryl and the other one's name is Darryl? lol

Yes!I have been looking for a goood new game for my DS Lite!
This is really good for me because my sister and I always fight over the computer.
I also hope it will be out for the Wii!

Had one Nintendo DS until someone stolen me...
Good reason for buying a new one. Chance and i found it on a store here on Mexico. Then i played it, and i posted my impressions here. Heh.

how awesome would it be if Nintendo weii made a VV game and we played a character we create

Well this game was released in October. Has anyone purchased one yet? I would love to hear some reveiws.

I want this game real bad. But I can't find it in stores any where, and my dad won't buy it for me online. Does anyone know when it will be available in stores?

It has been available in stores since late last year, but not every store carries it. There are a few discussions in the Fish Tycoon DS forum that mention some stores where people have found it.

Okay. Well, I live just south of Oklahoma City and I went to every store I could think of that would have it around where I live, and not a single store carried it. "/ I was sad.
