I was in Gamestop the other day, buying PM2 and chatting it up with the sales clerk. I already have my DS preordered, and have loads of money down on the sucker.
Anyhoo, he says (very cryptically, mind you), that he has it on from a reputable source (which he also didn't come out and name) that the likes of Starfox64, COnkers bad Fur Day, and even Goldeneye are all up for porting to the DS.
Just the thought of those three on the DS is enough to make all a twitter.
Anyways...I know more than a few people who utterly hate the DS. They see it as nothing more than a cheap gimmicky replacement for the GBA, no matter how much I argue.
If one were to assume that those three games, plus others from the 64, are actually going to be ported in the near future....would it be easier to call the DS a portable 64, as opposed to an entirely new system? I think I could sell more people on the idea, and not just drive them into a blind rage at the mere mention of the system.
Thoughts?
