I think the DS has dramatically changed the composition of Japanese gaming. In some sense, it has everything - epic 2D games, good 3D games, RPGS, and tons of zany creative games the Japanese like. Prior to 2005, the Japanese market had been shrinking since 1997. It seems that after the immense competition between the dying SNES, Saturn, PS1, N64 in 1995 to 1997, that Japanese gaming was moving past it's golden age. However, it now seems Nintendo has interrupted the stagnation and found a way to draw back lapsed gamers and to bring in new gamers. Where would Japan be for gaming if this had not happened?
