| RolStoppable said: Firstly, there is a huge difference between 2D and 3D gameplay. It's not just a visual effect. Franky, your suggestion that it was just a visual effect is incredibly stupid. Secondly, neither have you. The only precedence we have points to movies being not successful on gaming handhelds. Thirdly, I see where this is going. You had to cut off the list, because there was a big amount of games following that didn't use or didn't need the touch screen. Go on, extend the list. I am not worried at all. Gimmicks are less important than games. |
Firstly, it is entirely possible to create gameplay that is enhanced by any visual feature. That is the point I'm making. It's very simple and quite true.
Secondly, of course I don't, which was exactly my point, nobody does, so we probably shouldn't just dismiss the idea out of hand based on absolutely nothing.
I have no problem extending the list. Let's go, it'll only reiforce my point. Let's take the top twenty DS titles for example.
1. New Super Mario Bros. - 28.23m - Doesn't use touch screen
2. Nintendogs - 24.38m - Heavily uses touch screen
3. Mario Kart DS - 21.85m - Doesn't use touch screen
4. Brain Training - 19.95m - Heavily uses touch screen
5. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - 17.98m - Doesn't use touch screen
6. Brain Age 2 - 15.20m - Heavily uses touch screen
7. Pokemon Black/White - 13.94 - Doesn't use touch screen
8. Animal Crossing: Wild World - 11.75m - Heavily uses touch screen
9. Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver - 11.28m - Doesn't use touch screen
10. Super Mario 64 DS - 9.60m - Doesn't use touch screen
11. Mario Party DS - 8.49m - Heavily uses touch screen
12. Pokemon Platinum - 7.46m - Doesn't use touch screen
13. Big Brain Academy - 6.53m - Heavily uses touch screen
14. Dragon Quest IX - 5.61m - Doesn't use touch screen
15. Cooking Mama - 5.32m = Heavily uses touch screen
16. Professor Layton and the Curious Village - 4.99m - Heavily uses touch screen
17. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games - 4.97m - Heavily uses touch screen
18. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - 4.92m - Heavily uses touch screen
19. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - 4.88m - I literally haven't a clue
20. Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga - 4.19m - Doesn't use touch screen
I think it's fair to say I've won this point.
