Are you implying that, Presentation, Sound, Graphics, Gameplay, Lasting Appeal are quantifiable terms? I think there is a interesting situation in the Gaming Magazine/Website industry where they actually think those catagories are somehow Quantifying terms. These critics have a identity crisis, they think they are journalists when really what they are doing is critiqueing art.
Isn't there a foggy legal area already in the realm of hacking game consoles, specifically Nintendo game consoles? I remember all of the N64 doctor companies and such getting hammered by nintendo. Why would someone need to keep their source closed for a homebrew DS game or utility?? I don't think that they would be able to legitamitly sell the software. I mean I can be totally off base here, but thats the first thing that popped into my head.
The gba support was added as an afterthought according to Iwata. I really think the gba support was thrown in just for the added value. I have an orignal (non-sp) gb:a and a few games. Part of the descision making when purchasing the DS was that I could play those games with a backlit display. When people talk about the games for the ds, you always think about how it can play the seemingly unlimited supply of gba games, which are still being manufactured btw. I think thats the main reason they say what they do about the nDS being seperate from the gba, they want to be clear that they still support the gba and production of such games.
No, I'm just not going to want to sit on my couch to do that stuff. thats why I sit at my computer chair 5 meters away. It's just my preference, and millions of other's preference as well.
Is anyone else completly skeptical of the theroy that the home entertainment center will take over the pc? I mean personally I'm not gonna want to do what I do on the computer, on my television. My opinion is surely not indicative of mainstream... but I'm sure there are tons of people who have similar sentiments

That article made me sick to my stomach, this guy is a total scumbag.
what kind of credability does this aformentioned link have? they didnt list their sources.
anyone else think that those shots are a mix of the game and some artistic embellishment?
