*sigh* We really do play games in the midwest and would really enjoy a launch event from time to time, we really would.

Anyway, if you live in NYC check out the launch festivities for The DS’s new Zelda game.

The Popularity of the DS - Is it Earned?

Nintendo DS + DS Fanboy

The DS is crazy huge and DS Fanboy is asking it’s users “Do you think the DS has really earned its incredible success, or is it some sort of fluke?”

Hop over to the site and give them your 2 cents.

“Omg, my morning and after commutes would be hell without my DS. I got the opera browser for it and use it all the time. These days I’m playing pokemon, and my 2year old plays with pic-chat. I’ve always been a fan of gameboy and the DS just took it to the next level. As a mom on the go this is the only way I get my gaming fix.”

“DS is great what it is made for - simple touchscreen based games like cards and puzzles. Such games are also very portable - and were helping more than once to survive long trips. On PSP most games are really hard core games - they require lots of attention and lots of concentration, not something you can pull for 8 hours while e.g. in train or on plain.”

“I don’t think success like this *can* be a fluke. The DS is winning because of the quality experience, targeted games, engineering - it’s just a homerun from start to finish.”

10 Things to Hate about the DS and PSP

Nintendo DS + PSP + Modojo
03.26.2007 at 6:37 pm

Modojo has put together a list of 5 things to hate about each console. For the DS they don’t enjoy the quirky titles, the flimsy d-pad, vile friend codes, half-assed touchscreen functions, and the boxy shape. For the PSP they hate the required firmware updates, the price, defective pixels, load times, and the analog nub.

Portable gaming lets you play anywhere and anyplace. Personally, I watch TV and play DS during the commercials. If you want to share you own stories of DS related multitasking head over to DS Fanboy. We would like to hear them here as well.

Some DS Love This Morning

Nintendo DS + Not all Fan Boys are Bad + DS Fanboy

DS Fanboy would like to know what you love about the Nintendo DS.

“So what is it about the Nintendo DS that does it for you? Are you a die-hard Nintendo fan, praising the big N above all others? Or is it just the DS itself, with those sleek dual screens and array of designs? The games? Something else entirely, perhaps, or maybe a combination of many reasons?”

What a nice way to start the day.
