I guess I should clarify my thought. I got the original DS at launch back in Oct 2004, so yes, I do realize it has been out for some time, but what struck me as odd was the fact that NWR has staffers young enough to consider DS games part of their childhood. I've been a regular visitor here since 2001, while I was in high school. Back then, all the staffers were older than me. It hadn't occurred to me that the age paradigm could shift so dramatically. In short: my bad. I let surprise get the better of me.

Playing Super Mario Bros. on the NES. I was Mario and my brother was Luigi. I'd get to that awful leap of faith jump in level 8-2 without losing a life. Then my bro would try level 1-1. He would get about half way through it before it was my turn again. Good times.


And is it just me, or does it seem odd that in an article of childhood multiplayer stories, there are two DS titles listed? Anyone? Ok... I guess I'm just old...

This is kind of shocking. I feel as a fans of Mario Kart, we have an obligation to help Nintendo curtail piracy. We should report this to Nintendo so that they can make an official complaint to Apple.
