Should titles that offer DSi enhancements be part of DS or DSi list?

[Chanser]

Not entirely sure to be honest.

I think hybrid games (DS software that has DSi enhancements) should stay a part of the current DS release list (and numbering scheme) but we should implement a new info value for each release for "DSi Enhanced" software with a simple Yes/No answer. All the previous 3900 DS releases will automatically be set to "no" whereas the current and future hybrid titles should say Yes.

Software that is DSi ONLY should have a new numbering/release list.

This. I was just about to type this.

If the game is playable on the normal DS, I would keep it in the DS release area, but mark it something.

I personally feel that DSi enhanced games should come up as DS games, but with having a seperate flag that states whether they're DSi enhanced or not.

nice poll. i voted for dsi BUT i think both tbh.( should of put both in the poll...)
the ds can play the dsi enhanced games withouth the enhancement.
dsi enhanced games should be spearated to we dont get mixed up between the two.

 

[kevenka]

should be on a separate list to help DSi owners?

 

[FlatFrogger]

If its primarily a DS game then it should be on the DS list, give it an icon or something though or a symbol in its name to indicate it has dsi enhancements though.

Lets face it, DSi "enhanced" games just mean it has a camera gimmick in there.

DS, with info stating that it has DSi functions

 

[Salamantis]

DS, with info stating that it has DSi functions

This seems to be the best option.

 

[raing3]

As like most have said I agree DSi enhanced games should be classed as just DS but be identifiable as having extra DSi functionality.

 

[dinofan01]

DS, with info stating that it has DSi functions

This seems to be the best option.

agreed. So many noobs overthrowing the votes. I really don't see the reasoning of keeping them in a DSi only category. That can confuse readers into thinking those games only work for DSi. Dsiware and DSi only games should be the ones in the DSi category.

 

[philbert8]

Put them in the ds list. Remember the dsi enhancements are likely to be a small part of any title, at least to begin with.

Hmm, almost everyone that has made a comment has suggested similar to what I proposed, yet the poll results are in favour of separating them into their own list. Are some people perhaps not reading the poll question properly, and assuming it's DSi-exclusive titles we're talking about?

 

[Maz7006]

Well technically a DSi game can only run on a DSi, but i really don't think its worth making another list for them. What Shaunj66 mentioned eariler is our best bet.

Nintendo did this on purpose so it can cause chaos amongst the game dumpers, and how they should go arouund about it

 

[qlum]

I think keeping them in an separate hybrid list is the best option since not all functions work for ds and they are not fully dsi games ether

There's also the possibility that people who roll in, vote, and leave are putting less thought into their decision than those who you know, read the topic and consider their position. Either way, the general consensus achieved in this topic will hopefully take precedence over the numbers sitting above it. 

 

[chickenmatt5]

I say for games that can be played on both, but could be enhanced on a DSi, its a DSi game because on a DS, it couldn't live up to its full potential.

 

[Trolly]

Just put DS/DSi and keep it in the normal release section (continuing number), it may be a little more writing, but that clearly shows it's meant for both handhelds. Pretty much what Rayder said.

 

[warbird]

IMO they should be in their own list, with a remark that theyre backwards compatible with the DS (for games which that applies).

The reason is simple; DSi games have their own serial numbering, and should as such be listed by themselves, imo.
