"So Dringo? What sort of handheld action turns you on?"

The DS is naff?
Now, Dringo saying something from Nintendo is "naff" is a rarity intself but, the DS?

There's one argument I can think of against handheld games.
That after playing home console standard, it's hard to step down, especially when the prices aren't quite the same step down.

But when you say "Roll on GBA2.", it sort of shows that handhelds aren't the issue...


So what's the problem with the DS?
I notice it has no analogue stick, but everyone keeps saying that the touch screen simulation more or less works as well, so you'd barely notice, including you.

Heck, you want the revolution controller to be a touchscreen!

So is it the DS?
What's wrong with it?
What doesn't it have that the GBA2 will?


Or maybe it's not the DS.
Maybe the games aren't really getting you excited.
The launch games do generally seem a bit basic, being either a remake or a short game, but that was the case with the Gamecube for AGES, and I never heard one complaint then?

So if it's the games bugging you, what's wrong with them, and what're you expecting on the GBA2 that's going to be so much better?



I think a certain someone has gotten into a certain mood and has decided to become Mr Contraversial! You're just winding people up, aren't you! ;-P

The original Mario 64 was ground breaking, introducing the first full 3D world. The moves were simple and Miyamoto created thousands of puzzles from a handful of moves.

The original Mario 64 was immense. The new one is alright, but the control scheme is really, really terrible. I'd have prefered it on the GameCube if I'm honest.

I never found it that great. Sure graphically it was good and I finished it (by beating bowser, wasn't interested in the 'collect the stars' crap) but I've never owned the game I played it and finished it round a friends.

As a tutorial to learn how to use the controller it was great. As a game it average, as a platformer it was great.

Yeah but its still and old game and not the killer release it once was.

I suppose you could argue that a lot of people haven't played Mario 64 and that it's new to those who only play handhelds and those that are new to gaming or were to young to have played the original game.

This is why a killer app is needed at launch!

I know what you're getting at Dringo. I didn't buy a cube 'til it'd been out 6 months and got the xbox when it was near to a year old.

Tis a faulty Go-Sen in disguise.

Damn you're on to me.

That's it, Dringo's definitely a robot.
