I have a feeling the double/touch screens are overhyped...

I've been reading IGN's previews and they make it seem like in most cases their uses are very simple...

3 games I found them them talking about having more interesting uses were Mario 64, Metroid and Ridge Racer...

Ridge Racer uses the touch pad as a steering wheel, but they say controlling the game this way is horrible...

Mario 64 they say has the option of using the touch screen sorta like an analog stick as well, but they seem to say it's awkward as well (although they note that Nintendo says it will feel much better with the little thumb-pen addition thing they're releasing)...

And Metroid... They say the controls work well, however since you need your right hand to use the stylus the whole game, it means you can only support the system with one hand... And that hand also has to press buttons and the like (well, at least L)... So they say if you wanna play Metroid, you're probably gonna have to prop up the system on your knee or a table or something...

Although I see how there could be potential for them in the future...

And lately I've been tempted to save up enough money to be able to buy it at launch for some reason despite Mario 64 probably being the only game worth buying at the time...

DH, i been sayin they were gimicky from the start. i can almost garentee you this will be nintendos only handheld with a double screen and touch screen, IMO it just wont pan out that well.

thats not saying the system it self wont be good cuz it will be, i just dont think thoes features are going to make much an impack at all. (touch screen will be good for messaging tho, just no so much for most games.)


And for some good DS vids, try www.gametrailers.com (my fav gaming vid website) they had 3 on there last week. they might be the commercials tho. but maybe they have more.

That advertisement is great.

Actually I think they'll keep the touch screen for the GameBoy.

Haven't you seen all the games that utilize the screen? It's just amazing.... I can only think of a couple of games that don't use the touch screen for something cool.

The double screens are more of a gimmick.

In the future, we'll probably control our games with our minds. Eventually.

Is this system going to be enjoyable for people who hate getting fingerprints on their gadgets with screens? I will never use my fingers. Only the included stylus.

I guess the screen is very endurable, because you see people jam on the screen and stuff.

By the way, I never understood how those touch screens work.... can someone explain it to me?
