So, what'cha playing on DS these days? Is it something published by Nintendo? Probably not. Advance Wars: Days of Ruin shipped in January. Professor Layton, quirky and cool but not exactly a gamer's game, was in February. Even if you want to consider Pokemon Mystery Dungeon a crowd pleasing game, it's been nearly three months since it went on sale. Look Nintendo, as much as we loved New Super Mario Bros., we're not playing it for two years. We want something new, something for the gamers, and we want it from you. The third parties have done a decent job (Castlevania games, Contra IV, Mega Man ZX etc) supporting us, but now it's your turn.
Yes, there are three Nintendo entries in this Top 7. You can thank Nintendo's utter lack of information for that. Tuesday morning we'll know exactly what they have in store, and we hope beyond hope that there are games designed with gamers in mind.
Look for more all freakin' week as we report live from E3 2008!
