Gaming update

Just finished this:

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Nintendo DS Konami Teen

Best game I've played in a long spell. Okami took me longer, and was very nice, but the new Castlevania is downright addictive. I've finished the game the first time, I'm doing a 2nd play through, and then I'll try some of the alternate ways to play (different characters and such). So enjoyable that it's keeping me from finishing this:

Mario & Luigi Partners In Time Nintendo DS Nintendo of America Everyone

And keeping me from starting this:

Yoshi's Island DS Nintendo DS Nintendo Everyone

Both of which I'm looking forward to. M&L PiT is not as complicated as I first thought, even with 4 characters playing at once. It's still not quite as good as Paper Mario IMHO, but I like it.

Yoshi is just good ol' fashioned platforming fun, and I never played the original so it's been enjoyable the few levels I did play.

So do I miss the Wii that I don't have yet? Not quite. Nintendo has truly delivered for the DS, and I assume will be taking over the world any day now.
