....How good would this be?
The Stylus would act as a Mouse and the Two Screens would be used to the max.
Here's some screens which I came across, which I'm sure are mock ups or they probably aren't!, but it is one title that would rule on this system!

You have no idea about the strategy genre.
Total War. Enough said.
Having said that, the touch screen is perfect for RTS.

Cycloon the stratagy games haven't sold well in a long time mainly due to the increasing popularity of home console titles over PC.
The DS allows for handheld "traditional" stratagy games to come to light, a spark of original, easy to use, stratagy titles will mean perhaps a return to popularity for the titles.
I don't disagree that stratagy games are great.

What the hell does that have to do with RTS?
And the DS is going to sell millions upon millions and make RTS popular again?
Uhm. No.

Rome Total War was a huge title last year, along with the accolade of being the best strategy game ever.
Hardly stale.
Hardly stale.
Erm yes?
The DS has already sold millions, and if stratagy games were released on it, it may just. After all the genre would be so great to play on a DS.
Roll on Advance Wars DS I say.

Yes. But it wouldn't become popular.
Handhelds don't make games popular, no matter how brilliant they are.

I'm talking about sales.
The stratagy genre is hardly enjoying the hight of popularity it enjoyed in the late 90's.
Pikmin and Advance Wars are also new stratagy hits but they're just selling well, not the millions the genre used to pull in.
All I'm saying is that it'd be great on the DS and make strategy games hugely popular, re-inventing the genre on a new platform.
If someone tries to randomly start an argument over something pointless again I will leave these forums.
Because it's like walking into the C-E forum. No one makes any sense anymore.

Dum de dum...

Wario ware, Advance Wars, Wave Race etc... all started off as popular handheld titles.
The DS is hardly a traditional handheld, it's almost changing the way we play games. And that includes strategy games. Almost an ideal genre.

I could argue this, but i'd only get facts shoved down my throat... It's a shame I don't memorise nintendo sales really...

No. It's not traditional, which is why I personally think it won't do as well as PSP. Change is good. Change however, does not always go right the first time :)
