Did he say you can switch the powerup with the L button? What is the point of the touch screen commands then?

yea its amazing how DS breathes new life into games youd never think of playing.
That touch screen in spiderman reminds me of the old Intellivision overlay. I
like how it switched to minigames during the boss fight.

Wow...I hadn't even considered spiderman 2 as a game to be interested in. But that video makes it look pretty damn cool. I'll get my eyes peeled on this one and see how it turns out. I might pick it up.

Heh, same here actually. I was walking into the Spiderman video as if it would be like all the other games, stuff I just wouldn't be excited for. I don't like the series much less the games. But that game looks really slick and fast. I was little off on the rail system at first, but it was done very well and the game looked quite nice. The cutscenes were also awesome, especially the one before the boss room they showed.
Will I get this? I'm not sure, probably not, just not a spidey fan. I'll certainly take it into consideration after seeing this though.
EDIT: And ugh, did anyone else watch the Madden video?

The guy showing it off has the worst PR spin ever. What a headache.

This game is a good indication of what I thought would be the most practical use for the DS' touchpad. A 'developer made' specific control scheme. Where you can instantly input a command from the displayed button layout they make available.

yeah it essentially extends the number of buttons to a pretty large amount. Like 10+

I see you statement becoming a trend regarding the DS pics, Nintendo needs a way to show in larger screens what you're gonna see in the actual unit.......fake the shots if those will end up being closer to the real look.......if Microsoft can do it for an xbox game, im sure Nintendo can for DS.....

This sparked my interest as well. The touch screen use wasn't revolutionary, just extremely usable and fairly intuitive. i'm glad the presenter used his thumb and not the stylus for the entire presentation. The stylus is quickly becoming the Indigo Gamecube for the DS. Deactivating the switches seemed trite, and i hope this kind of "move the [object] to the [position]" kind of thing doesn't become standard throughout the life of the DS.
i didn't even give Spiderman a consideration as far as a purchase before this vid, but i might just have to. Solid 2D gameplay with 3D graphics means as sale for me on any system. Gamespot's videos mean less Christmas presents for others this year.

LOL at the Howard Dean scream and the resulting explanation from the dev.
I feel bad for completely ignoring this title thinking it was going to be another rush/port job on behalf of Activision. It actually looks extremely well done and very enjoyable. If this is a launch title I might have to research this game more and appropriate my budget.

Looked good enough, smooth and fast. But I don't see why they had to use the touchscreen for the boss mini-game...might as well use the normal buttons (maybe it will be possible?)...then you wouldn't have to switch between buttons-touchscreen either.
Anyway, most interesting thing about this game is that it made me think of a new Klonoa platformer. I'd rather see it on a console though, but NDS is better than nothing.

> Nintendo needs a way to show in larger screens what you're gonna see in the actual unit
Well, what you see in those screens is exactly what you're gonna see on the actual unit. It's not like regular console games where developers can sort of make an argument that viewing the game on a tv looks different from viewing regular framebuffer dumps on a computer screen.
What you can't show in the screens is the 3d effect and smooth framerate but there's nothing you can do about that.
> .......fake the shots if those will end up being closer to the real look
Actually, I've noticed that PSP developers have started doing that (adding AA to press images). I find it pretty lame but at least PSP has the kind of graphics where it kinda makes sense because they're somewhat comparable to what you find on the home consoles. Adding stuff like AA and filtered textures to press images for DS games would simply be ridiculous and misleading to the point of being fraud.

Whoa, Tony Hawk is coming to DS? This is news to me!

Hopefully Activision was smart enough to get them on the DS versions of THUG and X-Men Legends too.

Jarrod, do you think many publisher, activision in particular, will port over N-Gage projects? The N-Gage Call Of Duty looks pretty decent. It would rock with Metroid controls.
Not officially... yet.Grubdog said:Whoa, Tony Hawk is coming to DS? This is news to me! Awesome
I'd imagine so, both platforms use relatively similar chipsets so ports should be simple. UbiSoft has already started things going with Gameloft's Asphalt Urban GT... I'd like to see Sega port Pocket Kingdom over, and maybe Falcom's games too.Society said:

i prey to god that Namco makes a Klonoa game for DS. since im sure they'll use the touch screen in ways that affect the gameplay / level design.
er. yeah, seeing 2.5D on the DS made me think about that.
