Figment

As much as I love seeing the ds (and nintendo) dominate japan, it makes me sad for one very simple reason: we don't get nearly as many ds releases as they do!

I'm really hoping that with the amazing sales and support the ds is getting here, even for more off-the-wall games like Animal Crossing, that we will see more and more localization as time goes on.

Until then, I guess I'll just keep importing the Phoneix Wright's, Bleach's, and Mystical Ninja's as they come out!

I have no idea how sony's will do, but there is one very large factor that, if anything, gives more potential to nintendo over microsoft: established content. While geometry wars and a few other games being released on live are certainly high-quality, and there are more on the way, the potential of nintendo selling every nes, snes, gameboy, GENESIS, and n64 game (plus others), gives them a ton of selling power with NO marketing necessary. The one thing that could take this advantage away, however, is the friend code setup, which is far more unwieldly and awkward compared to live's setup. In less than a day of star fox command on wfc, I have already had over half of my matches end due to someone dropping out so as not to get a bad record. And that makes me mad, especially when I actually had the rare chance to be winning.
