DS Game Port Wishlist

LATRINE! writes "Brittlefish has posted a wishlist of games that would make great ports to the Nintendo DS. While this isn't a comprehensive list, the idea of Starcraft on the DS is very exciting." From the article: "The Nintendo DS has given developers a chance to put forth new and innovative games. And with the addition of the touchscreen it has enabled developers to create game ideas that were previously impossible (or at best awkward) on any kind of console. Games like Nintendogs and Trauma Center are proof that new things are happening. One of the great possibilities the Nintendo DS offers is it's ability to emulate a mouse, and thus be able to handle PC ports that are mostly mouse-driven, but so far no ports have been done that utilize the DS hardware well." Any games you folks would like to see on two screens?

  1. Dual monitors? by SanityInAnarchy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Explain to me how even one of these couldn't be done just as well with dual monitors and a mouse? Oh, right, the DS is small and cheap and over-hyped, and dual-monitors are big, expensive, and unknown.

    And explain again what's so "innovative" about the DS.
