I almost threw my iPhone at the wall playing Zenonia. Even after hours of play I still can't get used to the horrid controls.

Aside from that most iPhone games are shovelware and rip-offs. The short sweet $0.99-$1.99 is where iPhone gaming is at; such Eliss, Trism, Galcon, etc. But the fact they have to constantly discount already cheap games that cost a few dollars is telling of the quality.]]>Jul 30th 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/Jul 30th 2009 10:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/
iPhone/ipodT is 10 times better than a DS/DSi cause:

#1 you can surf the web on it.
#2 new games come out every week
#3 new games cost less than $20 and older games typically cost $3 for a full version (neither DS or PSP can touch that.
#4 your games will be playable on every ipod released down the road.
#5 unlike crappy DSI and PSP, you can store lots of music and videos without memory cards.

#6 ipod T costs $220 and offers a whole lot more than PSP or DSi


You can't lose with iPodT/iPhone.]]>Jul 30th 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/

Oh and the way Apple is rejecting applications for the iPhone, they will only be competing with themselves for the time being :)]]>Jul 30th 2009 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/Jul 30th 2009 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/Jul 30th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/
@johnny - Was being a little sarcastic on that one :) I know they have good games, was just poking fun at all this rejection talk lately with Google etc etc]]>Jul 30th 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/Jul 30th 2009 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/

Would be nice... but... Nintendo revenues are from HW more than SW... so publish Nintendo Games on appStore will be a total suicide... well if things goes really bad maybe will be like SEGA... but no so soon I presume]]>Jul 30th 2009 5:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/
Sure, hardware brings in _some_ profit but not as much compared to their games.

You could even argue that they make money for licensing their hardware for others to work with... but those licensing fees don't exactly make them as big as they are now.]]>Jul 30th 2009 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/

Now I have an iPhone, and I only need to carry one device with me.

And when you have games like Rolando and Real Racing, who needs a DS? I don't.]]>Jul 30th 2009 6:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/Jul 30th 2009 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/

Interesting commentary on the touch & tilt controls. I've come to the conclusion that the best games are the one's built on the back of these. They feel natural and tactile on the platform, more so than the virtual button control games I think.]]>Jul 30th 2009 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/

Apple will never add buttons to the iPhone.

Real Racing automatically tilts the display in the *opposite* direction that you are tilting the device, so that the horizon always appears level. It works really well, so consider that problem fixed.

Lack of buttons are an issue, but now that OS 3.0 is out, we should see some controller docks shortly. Then there will be no downsides to iPhone gaming.]]>Jul 30th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/Jul 30th 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/Jul 30th 2009 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/]]>Jul 30th 2009 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/nintendo-finally-sees-wii-demand-slowing-calls-iphone-a-ds-ds/Jul 30th 2009 9:34AM
