Do you think ROM #3000 for the DS will reach us this year?

[wilddenim]

Definitely not.

I feel games releases are getting dry, possibly due to too many shovelware. DS Lite have been out for couple of years now, people will start lose interest this year so sales will go down, meaning games makers will start focus on another games consoles. Results: Less games being released.

We're on game # 2268. Very unlikely.

Well we've 331 releases in the first quarter of the year and its always "slow" in the first quarter though to me 331 is a fucking lot.

Of course there'll be a very slow period and then October to December it'll be crazy with releases. Then we've also got the Korean scene to think about, which is fairly new, I'm sure there's many games released there that have yet been dumped.

So I reckon it'll pass 3000 with no problems at all. Hell I reckon 3500 isn't so far off.

I still remember there was a day when almost 20 titles were pre-d on the irc, now 3000 by end of 08 doesn't sound so impossible

 

[Bob Evil]

Wait 'til November, when we are getting 10 releases a day ...

 

[SchuchWun]

I think we'll make it for sure! we have a lot of releases in North America coming up.

 

[R2DJ]

Yes. Thanks to shovelware...

By looking at the current release list, I say Etrian Odyssey is the latest good game.

 

[hybridkit]

What number are we at now? I dont count/keep track.

Currently is #2345 which means 655 more to go.

Should be possible to reach 3000.

I don't think so, the DS is nearing the end of its days and if Nintendo doesn't do something spectacular at E3, it's screwed.

You are aware that the DS is only just over 3 years old, right?

Well... 4 now. But its still going great. Even if we have shitloads of shovelware, there's quite a few good games out, and a few more coming.

FFS... that's just ridiculous and an idiotic comment to make.

The DS isn't 4 until November

But yes, it's still going strong ... there is no way they will end it any time soon, as they are not even capable of meeting demand at the moment.

True, we have Final Fantasy and Castlevania to look forward to, but the same cannot be said about first party games.
That's why I said, unless Nintendo announces a shitload of first party games at E3, the DS will be nearing it's end.

 

[pilotwangs]

Hmm,650 games?
I don't think so.

Though,saying that,there seems to be about 3 of those Japanese Edutainment games out every day!

TBH,i don't want to reach #3000 because almost every game would be Shovelware.

 

[woland84]

I'd say there will be less then 3000 roms but >3000 games if you add undumped ones

 

[Psyfira]

Hm I dunno, I think Ubisoft have nearly run out of animals...

 

[Bob Evil]

Hm I dunno, I think Ubisoft have nearly run out of animals...

Bearz, Lionz and Wolvez have all been confirmed ... what may surprise many people on this board, is how well games that they like to call 'shovelware' sell ...

It is the so-called 'shovelware' that brings in the capitol required to finance the 'better' projects ...

Sadly, so many 'gamers' seem unable to see how the games market really is ...

 

[NINTENDO DS]

Were almost there anyways.

 

[OuTee]

Definitly yes. :]

 

[AndreXL]

Ya for sure.
Possibly an "Imagine" or "My Game" or something with a "Z" at the end.

 

[Hadrian]

We've got 2921 on the list and there are over 100 games to be released, including Japanese and various region dupes. Many of those will probably be delayed, thats if those dates for this year are true. Plus there are many undumped titles still to be dumped.

It'll be a close one me thinks.
