Re: The DS, me, and why it might appeal to the mass market
Yea, I think that alot of people not normally into gaming might be appealed by the touch screen. That is only as long as Nintendo keeps things from getting too complicated control wise which frustrates newbies.
I really hope the thing actually works out and the touch screen can do more than just be a nice gimmick. It has the possibility of being the next revolution for gaming, if it isn't messed up.

Re: The DS, me, and why it might appeal to the mass market
Yeah, its interesting to see how it can be used with the touch screen. I've only got to mess around with the MP demo and it takes a few minutes to get used to the controls but its not too hard once you figure it out. The control method won't replace ol' fashioned PC FPS's controls but its still very nice.

Re: The DS, me, and why it might appeal to the mass market
I don't know......I personally think the DS touch screen is great, but I still am having trouble getting used to it in Metroid. Maybe it's just me, but I don't know. I got used to Halo's controls really fast, my biggest complaint was that you couldn't turn around very fast - and that complaint is still valid on the DS.

Re: The DS, me, and why it might appeal to the mass market
I love my new DS. I tried Metroid to see how I'd fare, and I got used to the control within 10 seconds. Even the platforming elements weren't hard at all. I was double-tapping for jumping like it was second nature.
P.S. Feel the Magic XY/XX is AWESOME.  |
