Though to be honest, FPSs don't translate to handhelds too well.
Newsflash, FPS games don't translate to anything that doesn't have a Keyboard AND Mouse well (at all).
As for RTS on a portable. Let's seem the screen is like 2 inches by 2 inches. what you're suggesting means you still have to have unit selection on the screen somewhere taking up space (A better plan would be to use the touch screen for selecting from build menues).So instead of dying because you can't scroll the mouse across the screen fast enough, you'd rather die because you can't tell your Firebats apart from your Marines.
Did you read your post? Quake on a Game Boy? Thet's a pretty lame ass idea. The keys of this "touch screen keyboard" would be like 2 pixel squares. Not to mention it's bad enough trying to control a console FPS game using a controller with 15 buttons (see Halo etc) now you're suggesting we try it with a system that has what, 2 buttons and a control pad? Or did Nintindo finally move into the 4 button range on it's portable systems.
I'm not even going to go intot he logistics of online gaming with a portable game system.
Speaking of "fucntional controllers". Maybe Nintindo should consider making thier next portable playable by someone with hands larger than a 5 year odl girl's. The GBA is fucking horrible it's so damn small. Smudges on the screen etc.
Now the screen in between my fingers is touch sensetive so instead of smudges I get to die all the time.
Yeah just think how useful and cool the system would be if instead of two little screens, they had made the entire top half one long wide screen. Instead Nintindo continues to spiral down the path of Sega by producing innane BD garbage with little real functionality.
There really are only like 5 different types of anime with a considerable amount of overlap between them. Most of it has the basic flaw of being excessively pretentious.
I'll also throw in one more little tidbit for you. The stuff that gets dubbed is often written by 2-bit writers at the sub companies. They take translations that are usually pretty rough around the edges, then write their own dialog to kind of match. Unfortunately, about half the time it turns out pretty piss poor.
OH GOD THEY DIDN'T PHRASE THE SENTENCE EXACTLY AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY!!! ALSO THEY CIT OUT ALL SORTS OF CULTUREAL REFERENCES THAT WOULD MAKE NO SENSE TO ANYONE OUTSIDE OF JAPAN! THEY SHOULD ALL DIE FOR THIER CRIME OF BUTCHERING A SUPERIOR SHOW!!!!!
The difference is as I stated above. Syndicated show VS 13 to 26 episode story that ends. It's hard to like a TV show that just keeps going and going and going... well, at least it is for me, anyway. So, yes, I do believe that the average story found in Japanese anime is far better than the average story found in American TV.
Yeah it's great when they take 20 episodes to do a plot that any other show could have done in 1 or 2 episodes. Hours of filler certainly is EXCITING!
BTW, even if everyone somehow suddenly decided to think that books were just for kids, that wouldn't make Homer less of an author. Read what I said again.
The problem with the ideas presented here RE books and kids and Homer is that Homer himself is part of the reason books aren't viewed as being "kiddie". Maybe if more of the first animation had been serious epic tales or something similar we would today have a different perception of it. The basic agument behind this is FLAWED.
100 episodes of "plot devolopment" where nothing changes and we don't learn anything signifigant about the characters that then ends unclimactically with some BS gibberish desguised as a "message" is what makes it "inferior to literature and cinima".
As a "Melting Pot", our national identity is "perfection". It's sort of like those crazy robots on Star Trek that would take over other species and keep the good parts of each one.
CN would be better off showing more hilarious Romantic comedies where there is one guy and like 500 zillion girls all trying to force themselves into his pants yet he still NEVER GETS LAID EVER because he's too much of a retarded GOON.
Boy you sure are fucking retarded. I like the part where you assume the only reason he is bashing anime is because the only shows he's seen were on Cartoon Network.
CLEARLY HE IS SIMPLY NOT GETTING THE CORRECT EXPERIENCE HERE!!!1!!
Slashdot Mirror
I AGREE WITH THIS POST
Although I suppose it helped that Solitare was easily in the top 5 best game.com games ever produced...
Wow, that's pretty fucking sad.
Congradulations on suggesting the one thing that's been suggested more than anything else since Nintindo announced it's dual screen set up.

Apparently you have more arms than a normal person does. Forgive me if I laugh and call you a freak for it.
Or a bunch of useless CODEC text in a Metal Gear game.
Maybe you answered your own question. Every console you've ever played had the d-pad on the left.

Like Samurai in a Laundromat!
You should invest in a NES Advantage. The only good controller EVER.

Sort of like how they changed Philosopher's Stone to Sorcerer's Stone and no one really gave a flying fuck except the excessively anal.
Also a better comparison would if they called them "staffs" or some shit instead of "wands".

Japanese Animation isn't viewed by Japanese in quite the same way as by Americans.
You're right. Japan KNOWS the shit is for kids while America is full of people trying to pretend it's not.

That was possibly the most original and cunning post EVER.
