Oh great, they are doing that thing where "Oh look! The character is using a device that looks just like a DS but also it's a super computer techno thing! ISSS DA COOOL BECAUSE I HAVE ONE!"...
Um, anyway I really want this game. Seems interesting. The article is misleading though. This isn't Nintendo's first foray into adventure games. They made a lot of detective murder mystery games on the Famicom.
In other words, they have a precedent for this, namely NOT releasing their adventure games in America. Hopefully they will. I mean, at this point in time I really can't see Nintendo NOT doing that.
Oh, what I WOULD like to see is Nintendo's first foray into fully voice acted games. Well, actually Star Fox 64 was COMPLETELY voice acted (except the tutorial mode, but that doesn't really count). Adventure games like this are generally easy enough to get fully voice acted, that is, in comparison to something like an RPG (which generally are only partially voice acted, like, main story points are, everything else not so much).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
