DSerendipity

Perhaps this is just media hype or Nintendo spin:

In the entertainment Mecca of the world, people waited in line for up to 15 hours on Nov. 20 to be the first to touch America's newest, hottest celebrity: The Nintendo DS. The paparazzi were out in full force to catch a glimpse of the dual-screen device and its devoted followers.

Or perhaps I stumbled in at the right time. I wandered into the Best Buy right when they opened, sauntered up to a table covered in DS merchandise, and picked up one. I think it was meant to be, eh? I'm not so impressed with the one game I picked up, however, the controls are a bit sketchy, but I can certainly see the potential that the DS has. If they get some of the better N64 titles and rework them to be more DS-friendly, I think we'll have plenty of great games for years to come. (Too bad Conker won't likely be one of them...). Some titles I'd like to see snazzed up and ported include:

• That truck crashing game that N8 has
• Any Rare FPS
• Jet Force Gemini (but what was promised, not what Rare delivered)
• Any other Rare game
• Seriously did anyone else makes games for the N64?

Oh, and if LA is the “entertainment Mecca” then was is Mecca?
