That would be some heavy-duty hypocrisy there... >=P

Hey everyone...

Just to clear a few things up:

1.  I had all of the launch titles.  I did have Spider-Man 2 - it wasn't good.  It looks fantastic, but the level and game design was poor.  Too bad because VV is a great dev.  I featured the games that I thought were the best of the bunch.  Out of that group, I singled out two that I felt worth personally getting.
2.  Sorry about the language thing.  It said Deutch  (SP?) on my unit.  I assumed that was dutch.  It was a long week.
3. Perrin was really nice, and it's always fun talking to her.  It wasn't an angry interview by any means.  We joked around during the whole thing.  I just had a lot of questions
4. The PSP's analog stick works - I don't see why Nintendo couldn't have gotten one on the DS.
5. I like the concept of the unit, I just haven't seen much done with it outside of a few titles.

Hope that helps!

I don't like this piece of info: "since the wireless aspect of the Nintendo DS is always on, it should not be used on airplanes since the FAA does not allow wireless devices to be used while in the air."

Couldn't you just take the battery out?  I'm fairly certain you CAN use wireless once the plane is enroute.  Just not on takeoff and landing.  Aren't laptops the same type of wireless?  I really can't see not being able to use it on a plane.

Well im shocked at Perrins response to the analog stick thing.  I really think when research and development tested the unit, they had to consider the whole analog stick thing...

Heck I would  have liked an digital stick like on the Neo Geo Pocket.

Awesome, answered a lot of my questions.

I'm more concerned about the durability of that nub.  I've had serious problems with nubs on laptops wearing out.  PSP has a bigger nub than the laptops I've used, though, so it may not be an issue.

Well I sure haven't seen that before, Mario.
