E308: DS Fanboy on day three
We're back and forth on this E3. We keep waiting for some big announcement for the DS, some bone that might get thrown ... but when we look at some of the things that have been announced, or are being played, we can't say anything but "wow." Yeah, we said it. We said wow. So what the hell is wrong?
Well, we've figured it out. It's simple — we're just too used to great DS games. We look at all these announcements and just shrug. Yep, Retro Game Challenge and Rhythm Heaven. Uh huh. Chrono Trigger and Castlevania screens. Yep. The problem is that our DS cup runneth over and doth flood ye olde table. We're jaded. Maybe we need to go spend five minutes with shovelware and get our priorities straight.
