Nintendo DS Hands On

Posted by Zonk on from the two-screens-mean-double-the-pleasure dept.

The Big N's media event went off well, and people have finally had a chance to experience the playability and feel of the DS system. Penny Arcade has commentary from Gabe and Tycho, and Gamespot gives it a look as well. Quoth Tycho: "The final analysis: I am overjoyed that Nintendo isn't completely nuts, which was my fear initially. This is a pretty cool little machine. But the opening salvo is a little soft in the genres I prize most, and there's no stand-out title that forces my hand on the system."

    Frankly, the fewer games *anyone* sells to clueless nostalgic hipsters, the better.
