Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects DS screens.

It's Baldur's Gate: DA with an X-Men skin. Wait for it to come down to 10.

Actually, I found it much better than the borefest that was DA, especially for an X-Men fan.

Marvel Nemesis is going to be shit no matter what console it's on though. EA aren't going to waste their bought and paid for talent on stuff like this.

[Bacon McShig]

I stand shocked... shocked... that EA would put out a shoddily made handheld port of what's probably a crappy console game in the first place. What is this world coming to?

[Korly]

Not true, they had a WWF license and used it to churn out several ugly, inferior games that just happened to have Stone Cold and The Rock in them. Idiots like Jeremy kept buying them even though they were all the same.

I'm pretty sure Acclaim only made 2 games with Stone Cold and The Rock, ever. Unless you count gameboy games.

[Joust Williams]

Andy, we get it already. DS games that are thrown together in 5 minutes look ugly.

It was pretty funny the first time I guess, but now it's just stupid

By the way, here is an interesting rundown of EA's output:

In 2004, looking at just current-generation console releases, 55 out of EA's 66 newly introduced SKUs released were based on licenses. Of those 55, only nine (three SKUs each of Lord of the Rings: Third Age, Catwoman, and NFL Street) were not sequels to an existing franchise, and one could even argue that two of those products were the progeny of successful existing EA franchises. Of the 11 SKUs that lacked a license, every one of them was a sequel or spin-off to an existing game (Ty 2, Burnout 3, Urbz, Need for Speed 2).

Diff, thanks again for mentioning me. I DONE BE A STAR! Acclaim lived for years off of making shitty games from any and all licenses they could get, not just the WWF license. Warzone actually had some innovations in it, and was good for '98. Attitude raised the bar for WWF rosters in games, and brought creation modes to the forefront, including putting in a create-an-arena mode that still hasn't been done since in WWE games. Then they recycled the exact engine to Hell and back without improving it at all for the ECW games, and it just proved to highlight the flaws of the original games that used it.

Now I've just had what may have been a full minute of my life lost to reading about wrestling games. Thanks, diff, you ass, look what you did.

I still think these threads are funny.

[Jeremy]

Wait about a month for that to change.

[1CCOSA]

Ouch. My eyes hurt.

And I thought the Episode 3 space levels looked bad. As someone else said, the DS has quality titles, but it's ugly stuff like this which could have an increasing negative impact.

Brilliant use of the touch screen btw, EA.

goes back to playing Wipeout Pure for a little optical relief
