We only get two choices?

break it down anyway you'd like...

 

[BobbyRobby]

and if so, is she really a hot chick, or just a dude pretending to be a hot chick?

I would guess the latter.

The purpose of the Nintendo DS, as a portable videogaming device. Is to be used as a portable video game device.

I actually can't believe that Nintendo insults the industry with the DS

hahaha, yes the industry (and myself) feel very insulted. How dare them?

The point for DS is selling a new system that people will buy or not. It´s about free market an all that things.

About the topic: Unoriginal and full of predictable arguments, you have to improve it, I don´t feel convinced.

Rest of you, take it easy.

is that seriously mina? and if so, is she really a hot chick, or just a dude pretending to be a hot chick?

i hate not being in the loop...

edit:

to answer your question, the point of the ds is to attract new people to gaming through the touch screen input. it's easier for n00bs...

Well, she's a chick with a dick. So I guess "both" would be the most appropriate answer.

Also, to answer the question the DS is pretty much a combination makeup application/short-range chat device.

Well it's not like I've ever met her or anything, but I think she's a real chick. Pretty decent looking, but hot? I dunno.

You guys have seen her softcore porn video right? Great stuff...in a hilarious way.

This was a perfectly good thread until Lemurs started to flip out. Now her posting pictures of young pussy doesn't make it any better.

Looks like will just have to start another topic.

no way!!! is that really him in the avatar? your a pretty good looking girl dude!

I would if Lemurs would stop trolling or people start answering the question. It's a legit question, waiting for an answer I'd be willing to consider.

I'm too lazy to type up a new response, but for the purposes of loldom I will paste my question to a question that was similar to this.

Ami: I'm not seeing these "alternatives to normal game design". To me, the stylus is just like the bongos for Jungle Beat or the SdeA maracas -- a cute gimmick, but nothing that pushes gaming beyond a slaphappy novelty act for a select group of jaded gamers and niche game fanatics.

There's no doubt that absolutely no one has made great use of the stylus yet. Now there's two places we can go. Either developers are going to improve and really create intelligent and progressive game design centering around the stylus, or they're going to continue on the road they're going and completely defeat the purpose. No matter what party you're in, it can't hurt to try. I have no loyalty for any company, but I do at least like to give new gaming possibilities a chance... because I like games. What can I say?

At worst, it'll be a failure and we would have played a bunch of glorified mini-game compilations and a few worthy N64 ports. At best, we'll end up with a bunch of really brilliant games that exploit the design of the DS to show what impact such a direction has on gaming. What actually happens is anyone's guess... and obviously you've already developed a pretty firm guess

Really, is the input device THAT CRUCIAL to innovation? I'd say it really isn't. The best forms of innovation come in software, and a great designer doesn't have to use an alternate input device as a crutch. Is there anything that REALLY makes Yoshi's Touch and Go more fundamentally fun than Yoshi's Island, save that a few kids are sick of joypads? Not to my mind.

Here's the part that there's going to be the most contention over. Is the touch screen crucial to innovation... hmmm... I think my answer would be No. But is the touch screen helpful to innovation? I think I'd go with yes. It's not that the best forms of innovation aren't through software, it's that the stylus device provides a developer a chance to expand on certain concepts to create innovation through software using an alternate way of input. It can do it without a stylus, but at the very least you must admit that -some- thought must go into how both screens will be used, even if in the end a boring developer will just plop some map on it.

Is it fundamentally more fun than Yoshi's Island? Absolutely not. It's just different. And different can be good.


So you could gather what I think the DS is for from that response!

Guess so. Lockzored.
