Gaming 2010: The Worst Year for the DS?

Oh, really?

IIRC:

The Wii is an upgraded GameCube, with the chips clocked 150% as fast as the GC and extra hardware like the 3rd SD card slot (GameCube memory cards are really SD cards in a differant case) and WiFi, Bluetooth, the NAND, and all of the Wii's extra features. When a Wii boots a Wii game or WiiWare/Virtual Console/Wii Channel, it launches in the full Wii mode, with full hardware access. When a Wii launches a GameCube game, it boots in a "compatibility" mode with access to only the hardware the origional GameCube had.

The DSi is an upgraded DS, with the main CPU clocked twice as fast and extra hardware like the SD card slot, WPA2, the camera, the brighter backlight, the NAND, and all of the DSi's extra features. When a DSi launches a DSi Enhanced, DSi Exclusave, or DSiWare title, it launches in the full DSi mode, with full hardware access. When a DSi launches a DS game, it boots in a "compatibility" mode with access to only the hardware the origional DS had.

Get the point?

HERP DERP, it's still going to be on the DS platform. So no it isn't like Gamecube to Wii, think more than just the hardware next time.

I am looking forward to quite a lot of games this year.
But yeah,compared to last year, the announced games list isn't quite as exciting.

2010: The Worst Year for the DS?

Sure let's just ignore:

Sands of Destruction
Glory of Heracles
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
Ragnarok DS
Dementium 2
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
Sonic Classic Collection
Spectral Force Genesis
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
Infinite Space
Golden Sun DS
Ghost Trick
Dragon Quest IX: Protectors of the Starry Sky
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie
Shantae: Risky's Revenge
Hotel Dusk 2
Ninokuni: The Another World
Okami Chronicles: Tiny Sun

Nope, nothing good for the DS in 2010.

There was Pokemon, Scribblenauts, Spirit Tracks, Bowser's Inside Story, and GTA: CW.

This was one of the best years for the DS.

he is talking about 2010 though

1 good game a month and the rest shovelware, Just like the other years then?

Owow, I'm dumb, my bad.

Um, there's Infinite Space, Okamiden, Pokemon (in English), and not much else.

The DS is nearing the end of its lifespan, so yeah, it's a mediocre year.

I agree. the ds has been around for a long time. 04 i think. But if i remember correctly thats when some of the awesome gba overlooked titles came out, which were miles better than the launch titles that came out with the ds. So even though there are a slimming amount of ds games that are worth playing, i also feel like they may be some of the best. Infinate space has had a turnaround time of 3 or so years, and how knows how many of us are going gaga for the G/S remakes. Ok maybe its just me.

I still got a shitload of games to play on my DS, so I don't really care actually.
I'm too busy playing Fire Emblem on my

anyway, so I don't play my DS now.

Not everyone wants to play the same games as you, allow me to narrow this list down to games I actually give a shit about.
QUOTE(CyrusBlue @ Jan 4 2010, 11:32 AM) Sands of Destruction
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing
Sonic Classic Collection
Golden Sun DS
Okami Chronicles: Tiny Sun

Also, Shantae: Risky's Revenge is DSiWare and not everyone has a DSi.

And:
Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel
Picross 3D
Project Monster (from the developers of Henry Hatsworth)
Blue Dragon : Awakened Shadow coming to the West (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zarfOmMOK0k)
Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver coming to the West
Again: Eyes of Providence (from the developers of Hotel Dusk)
Lufia DS
WarioWare D.I.Y.

This year will probably be even better than last year. The problem is that it's January 4 yet. Let's wait and see what happens but the list of good games is already very big.

Escape · Jan 4, 2010

Didn't know there's a new Dragon Ball DS coming out this year

The first one was awesome... kinda reminded me of Zelda...

Is it a crime to have a fucking opinion here now?

Only if the opinion is incredibly stupid - like "2010: worst year for the ds" when the year isn't even one week in. Or if you are a 911 truther, or if you think "the foreigners are coming to take our jobs/women/money". And especially if you are a primitivist.

Yeah! Let's ignore every single one of these potentially awesome games!

Seriously.

MarkDarkness · Jan 4, 2010

Lufia DS is the reason this year will be shit. They are going to turn one of the best RPGs of all time into DIABLO. Motherfuckers... I hate their guts.

driverzx · Jan 4, 2010

Two years ago was the best years of the DS, they are never gonna top that.

haflore · Jan 4, 2010

Really? Lufia DS is gonna be like Diablo?

He is upset because it's a reimagining of Lufia 2 (a completly new game using the same characters and storyline) and not a direct remake. Personally I think it looks INCREDIBLE for a DS game and I already finished Lufia 2 for SNES, so I am happy it's not a remake.

If you want to play the orignal Lufia 2 you can play it on the SNES with good 2D sprites and great puzzles. If you want to play a reimagining of Lufia 2 and see the game from another perspective, you will be able to play it on the DS.

haflore · Jan 4, 2010

Oh, ok. I was hoping though.

So you're saying it's ok to assume this will be the worst year for the DS just because there are few annouced titles TC cares about, even though its January?

Click to expand...

It's January, so we've had months and months worth of info on plenty of Q1 and Q2 games. It's okay to discuss how uninteresting most of them look.

BixBite I dont know whats going on with your pic and signature pic but seeing Dave Coulier and Bob saget and the rest of the full house gang just made me LOL real hard. Thanks I really needed that.

Stealth Fox · Jan 4, 2010

If you think lufia 2 is coming to america this year or ever get real...... Square is releasing a shit load of console games and then theres dq 6,9 and ff gaiden.

Seriously, when I look at "most anticipated 2010 DS" lists, the only titles that make me somewhat interested are SoulSilver and Okamiden.

Am I the only one with the feeling that we'll get maybe one good DS game per month and the rest will be shovelware?

Golden Sun DS? Ni no Kuni (The Another World)? They look freaking awesome.

_Chaz_ · Jan 4, 2010

One good game per month?

We're talking 2010! More like 1 good game period.
