Have you actually played with a DS unit? I messed around with one yesterday at eb playing the metroid prime demo and just using my thumb on the touch screen the control was smooth and flawless.

I'm guessing most of the people here bitching about the lack of an analog stick haven't picked up a ds yet.

Ding! Winnah!

Would it be impossible for Nintendo to implement an analog stick in some way?

they've certainly had more than enough time to have included one, methinks they've purposely left it out to try to justify the inclusion of the touch screen

Someone on IGN has Mario DS from Walmart:

I like the new texture sets. With some filtering the game would look awesome.

Box art does look better in person. Can't wait!

Seeing that the N64 controller was pretty much made for Mario64 i have my doubts about the controls. We'll see.

I doubt it since Mario is the only game from Nintendo that uses the touch screen as an analog controller.

More like they probably weren't thinking about N64 ports at all when designing the DS.

... Metroid Hunters uses the touch screen for analog control

Agreed. 2D games probably make a lot more sense on DS, with the stylus and lack of analog stick and all. I'm hoping the 2D games stay on DS while the 3D ones go to PSP. It makes more sense that way.

I think your avatar pretty much sums up your opinion on anything Nintendo...well, that and all of the retarded anti-Nintendo posts you've been making.
