    That is the lesson from Nintendo: Fun Must Come First .

    Exactly. And, moreover, the lesson from the DS is: It's not all about games.

    The only "games" I play now, ever, are Electroplankton and Jam Sessions.

    After using these, playing a normal game is pretty boring.

    Besides what innovative gameplay are you experiencing?
    The other poster mentioned Trauma Center and Kirby. But that's not all!
    The game where you're a lawyer and can literally yell objection.
    Yoshi Touch and Go which requires heavy use of the stylus.
    Meteos which would be a different game without a touch screen (the ability to "launch" blocks with the stylus is half the game).
    The Pac Man game where the action is totally controlled by drawing.
    Lost Magic the first RPG with immersive spell casting.
    Trace Memory makes use of nearly every DS bit of functionality.
    The Princess Peach game which has levels and a mini-game that require blowing into the mic. Sexual innuendo, a lot of DS games seem to require blowing.
    The Bomberman game where, in multiplayer, you can set bombs or blow them up by yelling nonsense.
    Of course Warioware which has tons of way to play with the stylus.

  6. Nintendo Wi-Fi by TheSpoom · · Score: 3, Informative · on 10 Million Nintendo DS Units Sold Since Launch

    I got a DS for Christmas, and while the system is great (I've been playing Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, good game, at least as good as the last Mario and Luigi), I was disappointed that there was no wi-fi connectivity outside of games. I mean, if the games connect to my wireless router and hotspots anyway, how hard would it have been to include a wireless browser in the interface outside of games?

    I've heard about people trying to reverse engineer the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection so that this is possible, but I really think they should have included this in the first place. It would have had so many uses.

    If you're like me, and not a Gamer, you probably found yourself scratching your head wondering what the heck this article was about (even after reading the links).

    The DS is a Nintendo portable game system.

  9. Re:Haven't Played Yet by Queer+Boy · · Score: 2, Informative · on Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Launches

    According to NintendoDS.com: "multiple players can play multiplayer games using just one Nintendo DS game card." Even with GBA there are single-pak modes for many multiplayer gamepaks.
