WOW!

If that doesn't remind you of the Star Trek TNG episode "The Game" (as Neo mentioned in another thread), I don't know what does. We're all going to become addicted, and the only thing that will be able to save us will be a strobe light!

Im sure the PSP will be very cool, but that touch screen on the DS is a whole nother ballgame. I dont know how many games where Ive had to switch to the map screen constantly just to see where im going, that kind of thing gets annoying, IMO. It will be great to not have to do that anymore. Thats just one of the little things im looking at DS, and im looking at as a great idea.

I haven't seen anything that is really innovative about the DS except for that pac man game, but with the other games so far it just seems like it's a conveinance, which is kinda of cool. Instead of taking away from the action by pausing the game to get/equip items or look at maps you can just look at one of the screens.

Or maybe u can have 2d item drop down from the top screen and come into full 3d in the bottom screen and crush enemies or something. I'm sure the devs will think of stuff but I'm happy Nintendo is trying something new that has potential.

I'm looking forward to a Mario Paint/Music suite emphasizing the stylus and microphone support. If you knew how to use it, Mario Paint was awesome on the SNES (aside from the shoddy mouse).

In fact, I want it on the record that I officially (this is serious folks) predict a Mario Paint type of game available at the launch of the DS.
