Only gimmick is the mic thing. That's just so they can say they use the mic.
The use of the touch screen is actually really good from what I'm told. Uses a PC like point and click movement system as well as d pad. Makes it more friendly to PC gamers. The "running wastes HP" is just trying to add realism, but who dies because they ran across a field? 2 combat systems sounds annoying. One gives you Exp for winning, the other gives items/money.
No, there's alot of crap out there for the DS. Alot of the games are fleshed out tech demos (the Yoshi one, name escapes me right now). And WarioWare? Both new WarioWares are ALL gimmick!
They're just learning how to use the screen effectively still. Touch screen was a great idea, but what has really surprised me has been the effective use of the second screen. I thought 2 screens would be stupid, but after experiencing it, mind change. Games like Trace Memory are paving the way to more intuitive gaming.
This isn't fanboy talk. I bought a PSP first. Right now the good portables seem to be coming out for DS though.
Gotta say, I miss the the days when there was only one portable to buy for.
