Zelda DS
Mario DS
Metroid DS
Here they come!

And furthermore.

How typical of Nintendo.

Yeah, they sexed it up after the PSP out classed and out gamed them in every facet imaginable, but they didn't add an analog stick. Remember how ground breaking that thing was according to Nintendo in 96'? Apparently it's not going to be that important to play glorified ports of their old games that once couldn't be played without it. Maybe 18 months after it comes out they're going to realize it was a good idea and we'll get a DSSP, and then everyone will fork over another $200 to get the real deal that they were screwed out of in the first place.

Pfft.

Someday all the bull**** will come back and bite them in the ass for real, and I don't intend to be on the ship when it does.
yeah, but it has the touch screen - nintendo wants that to be the "new" analog stick. i can understand why they didn't include it. take a look at it this way: some laptops have the touchpad (nintendo) and some have that crappy eraser head in the middle of the computer (sony) i'm not complaining about the lack of analog stick at all.

hard to imagine right now, but i can picture using the touch screen with your finger to move your character.... tough to get used to at first, but so was trying to use the analog stick with fighting games... at first.
