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?

If you haven't noticed.

In my opinion this could go so far. The only problem is that Nintendo isn't taking it as far as it could. Example: Nintendogs- I was done with this game by the second hour. It used the touch screen very nicely. The only problem is the game itself wasn't very long or made for long extended play. You could only participate in 3 competitions, meaning you could play for 15 minutes and be done for the day. Not my style. When longer games come out it (IMO) will become much better, but for now I think it has many possiblities.

done with the game in 2 hours?? methinks you haven't actually played nintendogs. First off -- there's nothing to actually 'finish'; theres nothign you have to be 'done' with. Its something you enjoy, not beat.

" The only problem is that Nintendo isn't taking it as far as it could. Example: Nintendogs- I was done with this game by the second hour."

Admittedly I have not played this game extensively. But everything I've read (including a couple of reviews in Game Informer) suggested that the 'game' isn't so much a game, but rather a simulation. You can 'play' it endlessly. They also said Nintendogs was meant to be played an hour a day for a long time.

I wouldn't have responded, but they very clearly said that there is no 'end' to the game, and for that they weren't sure whether to really call it a game. I cannot say you're wrong from personal experience, but I do wonder if you missed the point of it.
