I'm also glad that he doesn't simply cry "BAN ALL THE GAMES," but I think that it's not that game companies responsibility to raise children. Parents should decide if a game is appropriate for their children, leaving those of us who are older than 18 to decide for ourselves whether or not we want to play violent games like Manhunt or GTA.
I have a feeling EAD and Miyamoto have a few very special games in the works for it. They haven't announced ANYTHING aside from Pikmin 2 that is going to come out this year.
Think of the SP as a Palm Pilot or the like, the DS as a laptop, and the GC as a desktop.
Applications of having two screens on simutaneously:
Metal Gear/Splinter Cell: You hack into a security camera and it constantly displays it on the second screen. Shit, it could even show a bank of security cameras in split screen.
Racing games: Primary screen shows normal driving view, secondary screen shows a bird's eye view so you could see potential overtakers coming from behind. Or red shells.
Football: Screen splits into four quadrants and shows your recievers.
Smash Bros: No more extreme zooming. One screen has your character, the other has a nice overview
RPGs/Stategy: Stats, inventory. I'm sure there's a more creative use I haven't thought of. Like a second party, or something.
Strategy, mainly Real Time: The second screen could keep an eye on your base, or you could coordinate two attacks.
Of course, there's the obvious application of a map/radar, inventory, objectives, health, etc, that could work for ANY game, even a port.
Now, I came up with all that in the space of 20 minutes, while distracted. I can't wait to see what Miyamoto is coming up with.
Also, I'm calling it. Pikmin 2 is moved to the DS. Think about it: There are two playable characters. I mean, really. Plus, they've been rather quiet about it lately.
1. Many FF games have the retarded "Active Time Battle" which is real time combat with menus. I haven't played CC but I imagine it doesn't fall too far from the tree. Bringing me to my next point...
2. Have you played the game? I kinda doubt it, since you haven't said that you have yet. You sound like a frustrated PS2 owner who wants to play the next Final Fantasy title, but doesn't want to drop cash on a Gamecube. Just guessing, could be wrong.
3. This point isn't worth arguing, as we're speaking hypothetically, but if you think a remake of FF VII wouldn't sell rediculous numbers, you've bumped your head. The RE remake sold pretty fucking well, I think. Twin Snakes looks to do the same, especially with all the $99 dollar Gamecube sales this holiday.
Sorry if I forgot Chocobos and a guy named Cid. Thank you for providing information and examples to the contrary.
On the contrary, it isn't.
Once again, if you're going to say shit like this, back it up with information.
And I'm certain Nintendo would've let them get away with that too.
I'm sure Nintendo would detest a release of a remake of Final Fantasy VII, the killer app of the PS1 and what is widely (and wrongly) considered the best RPG of all time, or a timely port of FF X, one of the reasons to own a PS2.
(Don't get me wrong, VII is a good game, but people hold it in too much praise.)
Really, what does any Final Fantasy title have to do with the others? They're all RPGs. That's. About. It. From what I hear (www.penny-arcade.com), FF:CC is an extraordinarily fun game that Square obviously tried quite hard on. If they just wanted the GBA dev kits, they would have ported FFX or remade one of their old, PS1 FF games.
I think it's funny the graphic for the Honda Element is a horribly done sprite. dNL is far too prevalent, though. At least it fits in SSX. Been to a sporting event lately?
Slashdot Mirror
I find it interesting that Miyamoto refers to "the next Wind Waker" rather than "the next Zelda." This will probably not be much of a "side" story.
One - The vehicles control wonderfully with a mouse.
Two - Where's my co-op patch?
Just like in the summer movie season, a few excellent games seem to just get lost in the Christmas rush. See: Beyond Good and Evil.
I bet Hideo Kojima has some killer idea for two screens, and is pushing Konami to sign for it as soon as possible.
That's a pretty big "except", considering they sold 100 million of the classic GB architecture in various forms.

EA and Sega need to figure this extraordinarily obvious line of reasoning out, not Nintendo.
It would have been kind of cool to be suprised by this sort of thing.

Wow, that's completely wrong. Good start.

The real question here is, why would you want to play Tomb Raider in the first place?

The Jag outsold it only in the NYC area. Read closely.
Yes, and most of Nintendo's hardcore fans ignore all but the best third party titles, like Viewtiful Joe, Soul Calibur II, and some Sega titles.
This would be quite the prize to get online.
As you can see, that company is out of business. Yep, don't hear about them at all anymore. They don't make anything these days, especially money.
Where's the Great Mighty Poo?
I imagine Rockstar has people already working on a GTA multiplayer mode.
*insert obligatory Duke Nukem Forever joke*
I seriously thought this was a joke from the headline.
Shit, man, they have them for $10 at Radio Shack.
I guess on Xbox Live they'll have to talk in leetspeak.
