Nintendo DS, Oh Nintendo DS!!



I have a dilemma... I want to love the DS Lite. I truly do!!! I've been tossing the idea of picking one up around for a while now. So, the other day I was in the store and looked at the overall game selection for the DS. I was thinking to myself "watch they will have way more sweet titles than I thought!" Alas, I did not find this to be true. It seems that the DS's affinity for Mario knows no bounds. Know this, I have no lack of love for Mario. He has mad platform gaming what it is today. I do however find it a problem when all a console can come up with is games with one character for the most part. That and my other problem is that the games are geared toward teens and younger for the most part. I think that concepts like big brain academy and the like are wonderful. A true testament to the brilliance of the DS. I just wish they would get more complex "games" for the system. You know FPS and RPG's and what not. I think that Puzzle Quest was a great move for them. I just wish there was more to gaming on the DS than Pokemon, Mario, and Hanna Montana. So, until then, No DS for me.
