I am extremely annoyed about the state of the release games for the DS. There are too many bl00dy bad games. Not that I don't enjoy a bad game, they are funny. It's just that do we really need half of the DS launch games to be bangers? I would have far preferred 10 N64 re-releases, but what do we get - PingPals, The Urbz, Sprung? Fer god's sake, Nintendo. Just re-release Zelda, Perfect Dark and Donkey Kong and I'll be on my way.

Jesus.....

And I suppose none of them are PS2 "re-hashes"? No of course not, well we have Ridge Racer, Dynasty Warriors, Twisted Metal, WipeOut, Darkstalkers, Tony Hawks, Need for Speed, Spider-Man 2, Tiger Woods, Ape Escape and probably a few more.

Funny how you criticize the DS launch line-up when the majority of the PSP line-up are also re-hashes.

They don't have to be bad, Nintendo are just compounding the growing notion that they no longer know their d-pad from their elbow. I wouldn't mind a blast at Yoshi Touch Thing-y, but what else is on the way for the DS? Advance Wars re-hash a bloody age away seems about it. Mario 64 re-hash and Wario Ware re-hash don't do it for me, any other old titles this "innovative" company want to butcher?

Anyway, managed to find seven titles to order out of the first week of US PSP titles, should keep me busy.

Saw a nice ad for the DS on telly today, Nintendo seem to be sponsoring an issue of Zoo magazine with some DS competition or something. Nice work Ninty.

And yeh, launch line-ups are always cack. And the Gameboy has always been the dumping ground for the latest Disney/Nickleodeon tie-in platformers.

There's enough good games out to keep anyone happy.
Just because there's bad ones as well, doesn't mean anything. There's always bad games.

Its back to the old argument, when will Nintendo wake up and see that they have competition, not for much longer will Nintendo be the 'only' handheld games machine. The childish games and constant repeats of Zelda don't please the big audiences they used to.
Nintendo may realise that when the Sony PSP finally gets released in the UK that they have to work much much harder in order to compete with rival companies.
