Has no one found Spore yet?

That has kept us all in stitches – its about an evolutionary process….oh hell go Google it I am off to mutate……..

I have around eight games for my DS Lite, and I play a wide variety of them when I’m in different moods. Half of the games are J-RPGs, but I have New Super Mario Bros. and Zelda Phantom Hourglass too. The GBA backwards compatibility is a boon because of the light up screen as well. I’d never sell my DS Lite, even if I don’t get to play it as much as I used to because of study commitments.

It’s the best little ebook reader ever. Just flip it open anywhere and read on where you left off. It rests in your hand like a little duodecimo. Yes, you hold it just like a book.

It reads XHTML, so it’s easy to prepare books for reading. So far, I’ve read books by Benjamin Franklin, Virginia Woolf, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ambrose Bierce, Edgar Rice Burroughs .. hmm that’s all I remember now.

The truly brilliant thing Nintendo has managed to do is make me proud of this. I’ll give them so much free endorsement when someone says “Oh, that’s one of those Nintendo thingies, what’s it like then?”.

(Also have an M3simply and moonshell. I love the fact you can play with homebrew, and why not?)

I was on Nintendo side when the war between SuperNES and Master System began (what the hell was with Spanish kids? There where Master Systems everywere!!) and I bought a Nintendo 64 when everybody thought that Playstation was a better choice. It may be so, but Sony (or any other platform) will never have Zelda: Ocarina of Time (or any other Zelda). Sorry for them.

Now I have both a DS and a Wii. I love them. My DS is classic model, on metal blue. Love it. I don’t need top graphics or realism, I want… oh, heck, what is the word in english? Playfulness?? That sounds horrid, but you get the point. I like it because the posibilities are infinite. It’s a fun, wit and cheerful machine, and it makes me laugh a lot. PsP on the other hand, has that serius, hell’s angel look I will never like. Bloke stuff, I think.

I could talk hours about Nintendo but I don’t think it’s a good idea. I’ll wait until next wiik to talk about the wii. Something else, I would say.

Anyway, thanks for your words, Mr. Fry!!

I have been championing Nintendo and their strategy on many sites. I grew up with Nintendo and have supported them throughout all their consoles. I’ve put up with their failures and basked in their successes. I also am fortunate enough to own all 3 current consoles as well as having 3 DS Lites in my household.

For me, the Wii and the DS have brought families and friends together in gaming. Before it used to be a thing that you did alone, or played with strangers over the Internet. Now I can play Mario and Wii Sports with my own children. Everybody gets a chance to be involved in games now, and it can be a fun as well as educational experience.

There is room in this world for all 3 consoles. Each one has their own flaws and failings and each one has their own unique experiences. For me, I play the Wii when I want to engage the whole family, and I play my 360 when I want to play alone. My PS3 unfortunately sits gathering dust as the most expensive ornament in my house, but I pray that more engaging games come out for that.

I’m looking forward to reading your Wii blog, and I’m curious what games you play? What’s your brain weight on Big Brain Academy?

On the other hand, now I wish I had a DS… damn you, Fry, damn you!

(I wonder – is it still legal to use your DS in the subway? Or do you get taken down as a terrorist, just in case?)

And of course i got myself a flashcart so i can watch Black Books on it

Just thought I’d chime in with my thoughts since I didn’t see anyone else make a mention of this anywhere.
