Mmmm… Appropriate

Oh sweet nectar, it looks like they’re going to bring SimCity to the Nintendo DS, and Famitsu magazine just published photos to whet your whistle. I don’t see why these kinds of titles weren’t in development right from the very start, the DS screams for mouse-driven titles. Blizzard had better be working on a port of Warcraft or Starcraft, or both. Better that they do both, as my anger is quite terrible.

Did anyone out there play Age of Empires for the DS? I heard it was meh, but I’m aching to get back into an RTS of some sort.

I started playing Starfox DS today, and thus far I’m underwhelmed. I can accept the wildly unnecessary stylus control system, but thus far every single level has been a tiny square map with an endless array of repetitive enemies. I thought that killing the “mothership” with the spin attack was cute the first time, but after the fifth, it was pretty old. Especially considering that they’ve changed the spin attack into some stylus controlled boost-like nonsense. I dunno, I really want to like it, but the controls and lackluster levels aren’t making me happy.

The shining light at the end of the DS tunnel are the amazing fall/winter titles on the horizon, including Final Fantasy III, which has sold out in Japan within it’s first week. Here’s hoping that there are a crapload of DS-happy Japs across the Pacific right now.
