    Man i was so excited watching that first trailer...then they cut to the throwback block graphics

    why the shit can we not get more sprite-based DS games? Leave the 3d to the PsP, I want pretty sprite games!

    also the ds's 3-d looks like shit at ALL TIMES

    The DQ remakes had a pretty good thing going with combining sprites and 3D where appropriate.

    I was so looking forward to Scribblenauts that I ignored everything else and then was left disappointed. Picked up the new mario rpg (man.. if only it was mario rpg..) and have been playing it, but what else is on the horizon for the DS?

    Anything new and exciting?

    zelda should be good if it's longer than 4 hours and doesn't require you to go back to the same temple every 20 minutes

    kingdom hearts just came out; that's supposed to be good

    It's Amplitude/Frequency, but with rock music instead of electronica

    It's great

    Basically, yeah. It's definitely unique, but I would've liked it more if it was an adventure game like Drawn to Life instead of a level-by-level puzzle game

    scribblenauts would be so much better if you moved with the d-pad

    the controls are so frustrating

    I can't imagine the wii version will be any good but the ds one might be pretty cool

    I only played the first one, and only ever while I was at work so I never got far, but it was pretty fun.

    DS games can have surprisingly good sound, but if you don't use headphones you miss out on a lot of the subtleties.

    Basically this. I never realized that some of the music in the newest Pokemon games were as complex as they are until I listened to them outside of the game.

    I've made two attempts to finish the Phantom Hourglass and have gotten distracted away both times. Not even by other games...just other stuff, really. My DS hasn't been played more than a few hours over the last year and a half (My PH attempts were previous to this time period, of course).

    I actually never really minded the Temple of Time. I sort of liked the whole mechanic of it. I know I'm in a minority here, but it was fun for me to get through it as efficiently as possible with the most efficient map notes possible, all while collecting items which opened up newer, quicker routes to descend the dungeon.

    I understand how people would find it tedious. I guess it just appealed to a very niche sort of taste I have.

    Also, man, Ninja Gaiden got real nice reviews when it came out, and I even enjoyed it a decent amount when I first bought it...but goddamn that game doesn't hold up for me at all. It's way too easy on regular, and extremely tedious on hard (wherein they simply spawn enough monsters in each room to bog you down for five minutes at a time.) You die easier, of course, but christ that game is tedious and repetitive on hard.
