I've been resisting writing a response, but oh well.
I'd just like to make it clear that I do not mean to say that there are no good games on DS, this is very defiantly not true. But I do feel their growth is slightly stifled when they are so needlessly overshadowed by already established games. I'd also like people to know that currently the only platforms I own are my linux eee 701 pc, iphone(if it counts) a ds lite, GBA SP, GB Pocket, a wii and a ps2 and I certainly am not in favour of games such as Halo and COD4, but hey have a place a FPS's and they fill that slot in the market very well.
One thing that seems to have got a lot of peoples goat is my comment on Mario being overrated. I'd argue this undeniable when it comes to NSMB wii and also NSMB DS, they needlessly constrict themselves and whilst showing odd glimpses of originality they are pathetic in comparison to Galaxy (Still very very slightly overrate IMO, but hey!). I felt that on the wii for example a game like Zac and Wiki was so overshadowed by the hype of other games that this great title was missed out on by almost all (despite the valiant attempts of a view reviews )
I still love the old pokemon games, but now I feel they are to formulaic. To those who ask "if I say X about pokemon why are their new fans?", my answer is that it is because they are getting the same fun out of Platinum etc, that I did out of my first pokemon game (blue).
I may have been over the top about "the death of hand-held gaming" but you have to be overly dramatic on forums to get noticed, sure some'lll flame and some'll troll (Hey the odd troll is fun once in a while) but really Im quite pleased by the number of measured responses. Still Mario is so overrated. And Code Geass FTW.
