Whilst rumours fly around that these are fake pictures, I think there is a good chance that they could be real. And if they are real...is it just me or does it look a tad on the ugly side?

I'll reserve judgement until an official press release...

Mario 64 without an analogue stick sounds a bit... :-S


I remember playing Crash Bandicoot on the Playstation and dreaming of analogue! :-)



I'm sure Nintendo will have something planned! :-)

Madden, AJ?
If EA stopped making games - no more Madden.
Stop being a qurd.

So - DS - my ideas:

A football game.
Top screen used for seeing the match in full 3D á la ISS98 (hurrey), and the touch screen is an overhead view of the pitch, where you can move individual players, 'off the ball' in fifa speak, with the stylus. Whoop de doo. Equally, a Madden game, with the 3D regular screen at the top, and an overhead view which lets you control the WR you are throwing to, or the blocker, in Playmaker mode. Sweet.

Lylat Wars stylee:
Top screen has a side scrolling space shoot em up (á la R-Type), where you must move up and down to avoid obstacles, and the bottom screen (in 3D), uses the touch screen to aim and shoot at enemies.

Shenmue.
Top screen is Shenmue in 3D, while bottom screen is used for reading things on the fly and so forth (just like what most developers will do), except during a QTE (Quick Time Event - play Shenmue and understand), where you are required to trace a shape or draw something really quickly, or manouver a 2D Ryo Hazuki for a split second. I just want Shenmue.

Or EA could just stop making games and make us all happy.

I know which option I'd prefer.

EA could make a James Bond game where you control the car with a stylus like in the film.
That will rule!!

Is it me or are most of Nintendo's DS games more multiplayer, will you have to have 4 friends with a DS? I'm really confused about this wireless thingy, what is No-online? Is it basically internet, or what?

I am still dreaming of a FPS with the real action on one screen a laptop gun cam on one screen. Just think about it. The touch screen would be perfect for aiming after people. Please Rare; make Perfect dark DS!
