I have a DS, and it has perfect analog control... The included "thumb-stylus" really makes me feel like I'm using a mouse to play Metroid. It doesn't work as well in Mario 64, because you need to have your thumb available to press the other buttons at least sometimes. But Metroid works really well! And there's no added space for the analog sticks. Plus the Mario mini-games all use the touch pad and they're a ton of fun - they could have released a Mario Party DS with those games, or something similar.

The only part getting to me so far is the lack of good titles announced for the system - at least going by EB's release list, there's not much coming out, and most everything exciting is next year. But then, there's nowhere near 120 titles on there, so I hope some companies pull some surprises. I hope the lack of good launch titles doesn't kill the system, though.

I am not a big fan of the portable gaming systems...It is really the games they have for them that bother me. They try to cross the bounds of the systems ablity and make the game more difficult to play. For instance its like FFVII and FFVIII. They knew in VII that they could not do 3d and made the game accordingly. But still not being able to do 3d fully they made FFVIII in a 3d manner. This made for a lowered playablity, for instance running on the map its hard to do directors because the screen is so busy with pixelated graphics. My responce has really reared of course. But the point is, The system will be only as good as its best games. And if PSP comes out with better games, The DS will go the way of the Virtual Boy (remember that portable....of course you don't).

I got a DS. The touch screen for Metroid Prime is AMAZING. Super Mario 64 doesn't really use it. Since I'm kind of out of money right now, I'm saving up money for the next game, the racing game thats coming out soon like December 7 or something. Can't wait until Gundam Seed comes out for DS and Mario Kart DS. My 2 most anticipated games.

Hoping Starcraft is gonna come out for DS

Starcraft would be WAAAAAY RAD.
I can see it now... Map on top screen, and on the bottom screen, a focus on the area/unit you've selected, and on the sides of it there'd be options. Scroll through the map with either the dpad or the right 4 buttons.

Oh man. That'd be awesome.

How would Duck Hunt be good? tap the ducks going across the screen? Thats more like squating bugs than shooting. "old skool" is over rated.

A good RTS like Starcraft, Warcraft or Command and Conquer would rule though. Id almost have to buy one then.

I was playing my friends DS the other day and am completely blown away by how good the control scheme is for Metroid Prime: Hunters, I'd even go so far to say it's more accurate than dual analogue and nearly as accurate as a mouse!

Mario 64 DS was amazing too... I need a DS... soon... soon..

melee2000 · 12-11-2004, 09:37 AM

actually it seems duck hunt will arrive even if only in mini game form

even if it sucks for many people nostalgia alone would make it worth a look, and of course enjoyment of 'ol skool' is up to the individual. i personally still enjoy some old games quite a bit.

Does anyone know a store or website that still has some for under $180. Every place I've checked is either out or charging $250.

Where the hell do you live? They only retail for $149 US.

Scorpion23 · 12-12-2004, 09:11 AM

I'm in Louisiana. None of the local stores had any left so I started looking online. I've found some since then for $150.
