Now thats the type of forum mod power abuse that needed around here to keep the "drama" flowing.

Amazon.com kept emailing me when crap like that was newly available, based on me saying I owned things like New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart DS. I made a thread about it, you might remember.

There wasn't as much pre-release excitement about the DS as there was about the Wii, because people only thought the Wii might be a hit because the DS already was. You may recall, when the DS was first announced, the general consensus was "WTF?"

Wasn't that the general consensus when the Wii was announced too? Like... multiple times?

The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

All DS and Wii "WTF" were the fault of Nintendo.

If you recall the following

* The DS, as announced in 2003 was simply said to "use two 3 inch TFT screens" (Iwata) no mention of WHY
* DS shown at E3 '04 was a clunky tonka toy compared to the sleek PSP.
* Third Pillar for the lulz

* Wii/Revolution was show at E3 05 with only "IT'S SEXY! AND IT HAS GAMES FROM THE PAST"
* TV Remote shown in days leading up to TGS 2005 to members of the gaming press
* "Wii" a few days prior to E3 06
* Friend Codes
* In GAME Friend Codes
* USB ports that "do nothing" for a year

Nintendo is the master of WTF

Yes, but the difference was, by that point, people could say "That's what you said about DS, and look how cool it is now"

It's a shame that no one really wants to discuss DS games, because next year looks pretty nice so far...

Professor Layton and the Curious Village
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
The World Ends With You
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Eternal Chronicles
Soma Bringer
FFCC: Ring of Fates
ASH
Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe
Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword
etc, etc...

Plus there's the chance that the Dragon Quest titles, Tales of Innocence, and Summon Night will be localized as well...

And I doubt that EAD has NOTHING in the works for the DS right now...

I agree. The real question we should be asking is: Does the DS not have enough Pinball?
