The official news has been announced since this was posted, and you can find it here.

WalMart has listed the Nintendo DS as available for pre-order for $199.82, with an expected ship date of November 30th. Nintendo has yet to make a formal announcement of the price or ship date for the Nintendo DS, but if the largest seller of video games in the world thinks it knows the date, there is probably a good chance that it is correct. That gives us all a little over 2 months to save up the $300 to buy one (System plus games and accessories). Get out your piggy banks!

GameStop.com and EBGames.com also have the Nintendo DS listed as $199.99, with a launch date of 11/29/04. Expect to see the DS showing up at other online retailers in the following weeks.

Expect to see at least a few of these games to launch with the Nintendo DS in late November.
