You get punished because of other peoples choices, not your own.

Idiots.

I'd buy another DS if that was how Rockstar were going to use the hardware!

You could have mini games on the bottom screen. For example rubbing a hookers jubblies with the stylus while you whisper sweet nothings into her ear.

Think they'd have to supply some kind of plastic screen cover though to avoid risk of bodily fluid damage to the unit.

I guess we'll always curse the lack of analogue control.

Sigh, well, we'll see what can be done.

Agreed, the bottom screen for a map would be excellent and very useful.

If only they'd put a bloody anaglogue d-pad or something on - that would have been perfect.

Ocarina of Time :- 3 million
Wind Waker :- 1.4 million

MGS sold well but not nearly as well as the original, and Resident EVil pretty much lost is following the poor sales of Code Veronica.

I didn't mean for controlling motion.

But for selecting weapons, changing radio stations... or totally new gameplay ideas surrounding the titles. For improving the targeting, for hand to hand fighting and so forth.

It could be great. Surely it won't be long before Rockstar confirm a DS version, especially following the success of the GBA game.

I don't agree with that.

MGS and Zelda sold like cakes that were hot and tasted nice and stuff.

Wind Waker has gotta be one of Cubes best selling games, if not the best. The suprise announcement of the new Zelda at E3 had fanboys literally crying tears of joy (god I'd have loved to see that).

Tomb Raider sold well considering the game was a steaming pile. Resi sold well considering they were on Cube and Spyro and Crash...well they were always crappy.

Using the touch-screen on the DS would be very painful I think.

It was bearable with Mario, worked well I thought. I can't imagine for a second playing GTA on it though.

I expect Microsoft to jump in with an offer for GTA pretty soon.

And GTA on the DS would be great with the touch screen etc...

How many PSP's would it shift if GTA became online when it's released?!

:o)

Oh if only.

Totally agree though - the main way to blow all other versions out of the sky would be online play.
