So I keep feeling like there's just one more day until the next game
that I'm waiting for. Two weeks ago it was one more day until
Halo 2, last week it was one more day until Half-Life 2, and now, it's
just one more day until the Nintendo DS launches. I've played
around with the demo units that we have at my EB, and they're very
cool. Even moreso than I thought at E3. Granted that I've
only played the demo of Metroid Prime: Hunters, I still think that it's
going to be an awesome system. And while the launch lineup might
be a little slim, it's got some quality titles in there.
I
just finished watching some movies of Yuji Naka's (of Sonic Team fame)
strange new game called Feel the Magic XY/XX, and I have to say, it
looks like a sex-starved version of Warioware. Tons of little
mini-games all revolving around trying to get a girlfriend.
And the mini-games look like a ton of fun. There's everything
from shooting scorpions off of your girlfriend's back, to chasing down
a bully in his getaway car with a gigantic slingshot on the back of
yours. The game looks insane, but I'm sure that aside from Mario
64 DS, this is going to be the game that most people pick up at launch.
So,
with that being said, I'm just going to try to wait another day,
playing some Metal Gear Solid 3 while I wait. Hopefully I won't
get too bogged down in cutscenes that I completely lose track of the
world around me. Tomorrow should be a blast, and I can't wait to
get my hands on my very own DS.
