Anyway, NAZ, I havent updated my games library in a long time, so it's not incation of the game I own. I would agree with you that DS get tons of support, but the fact remains this Gen Nintendo has not been focusing on their core games. Yes, they can't kill it, but i never said the could  since they don't care as much.

This is the same company who clearly believed Wii music was their big game during the Holidays. They will provide the cores their games, but their mind is on the casuals and this E3 will futrher prove my point.
