Forums - Nintendo - I find your lack of DS games disturbing

It may have been only the press conference thing but I am still quite annoyed/shocked & dissapointed Nintendo showed a seemingly total lack of support towards DS. Why they did not unviel more info/footage of Fire Emblem or Kirby Super Star Ultra is beyond me, a quick trailer, a possible release date, that was all. They didnt need any fancy song or dance just some form of aknowledgement about those games. Where the hell were the new games as well, heck, all they needed to do was a simple sentence like (for example) Metroid Dread is being worked on, or, we have a new project for gamer sunderway. They didn't need anything big or flashy, just one fucking sentence would've done but no. The fact GTA was mentioned almost as an afterthought is even more disturbing. Nintendo can capture the mainstream all they like for 60+ mins, just 30secs for a small sentence would've been enough but no. I hope more DS games (Nintendo ones not thrid party) are talked about over the next couple of days.

They were focusing on the casuals tonight. Fire Emblem doesn't fit well with the casual.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Doesn't bother those of us who have no DS.



I think Nintendo was playing nice. If they showed off all the awesome forthcoming DS games, MS and Sony would be put to shame. But they graciously gave an underwhelming presentation, thus allowing all the fanboys to fight over who won E3.



DS has run its course. Nintendo doesn't need to much emphasis in it anymore. They will let it run on cruise control for awhile now with 2 maybe 3 Nintendo games a year while 3rd parties push all the new content.

Meanwhile, they want to ensure continued dominance in the home market. Thus much more Wii centric.

Still don't see why they couldn't have managed a simple sentence or 30 second trailer.

My thoughts exactly, superchunk



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

DS games do not need main market advertising. They sell themselves. If you think that Nintendo, or anybody, is abandoning the DS, or the Wii for that matter, in the core area, then you really must be on something.

There was no significant third party either, GTA sounded like it was announced almost by accident.
