....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!

Okay I'm sorry for poor phrasing.
I'm very very very tired and I'm bound to slip up.

It was a game that sold millions and still sells millions. One hell of a long craze.

They're all successful titles. Advance Wars technically didn't start on a handheld thinking about it. Wario Ware was so successful that Nintendo confirmed 3 sequels at the following E3 games event. A Gamecube title, a DS title and a GBA sequel.

Nintendo did suspect it'd take the public time to come around. They've taken to it quickly which'll please the stock holders but I think the opposite. I think change mean it WILL do better than the PSP.
Sure the PSP can offer great handheld games with movies and music added in. But it takes something different to be a big hit. By Christmas, with a host of DS titles ready to be bought, an already rather large fan base and some choice games/advertisement and you can see a similar boom to when the Gameboy enjoyed it's fabled sell out Christmas.
I think the DS will beat the PSP, the battle will be close for the next 9 months or so and then the DS will leave the sony rival in the dust.

About AOE II..I did only say "apparently" I don't think it's been confirmed either way.
I don't want an argument, just 'stale genre' made me say what I did.

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 :)

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.

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'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.

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

Handhelds don't make games popular, no matter how brilliant they are.
