I still don't understand the decision to make a Peach game. Is this another part of the damned getting non-gamers to buy a DS strategy that spawned Nintendogs? If so, Nintendo can fuck off. This should have been a Yoshi game or a Mario game. Nintendo doesn't have the bandwidth to produce enough first party games to piss away energy on Peach. I hope this thing sells like shit. 2006 is the year Nintendo finally gets its ass kicked in the portable market, and with decisions like this one, they earned it.
Behold the might of Thanos!
I'm not surprised by that IGN review, but, from the other impressions I read on the game, I don't think it should be taken too seriously. It annoys me how IGN assumes the game is aimed mostly at young girls just becuase the game is easy and stars a female character.

We're getting a new 2d Mario this year and we had an excellent DK platformer last year. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Yoshi platformers either. I would prefer Nintendo came up with a completely original new franchise but if they're sticking with the Mario universe I don't see what's the problem with using Peach as the main character for once. I wouldn't dismiss a great game based on the look of the sprite you control.Originally Posted by Yoshi

Except this isnt a great game.
Ha ha
I was at one time considering buying this (well, ordering online so I wouldn't be seen buying this in public) but maybe I'll just get Drill Dozer instead.
Yes, I'm sure you have actually played it.
can't wake up
No, Im not going to and I dont need to. The shitty scores and reviews this game are getting tells all - yes they say its "good fun but easy" but thats with the Mario handicap. If it had Dora the Explorer or something instead of Peach it would be getting 5s and 6s. It might be a decent game but its certainly not great. It is, like all of Nintendo's games nowadays, substandard + fanservice.

Why So Serious?
They made a Peach game to target the demographic that bought the "non-game" Nintendogs, and get them to purchase standard gaming. Is it meant for you? Probably not, but it still is a standard platformer.
There is a new Mario game coming. Just wait for that.This should have been a Yoshi game or a Mario game.
Sure they do. They are a fairly big company that can produce many games.Nintendo doesn't have the bandwidth to produce enough first party games to piss away energy on Peach.
Good. Then don't fucking complain when all that is released is what you refer to as "non-games." I'd actually like to see a decent mix of games and "non-games." The more variety, the better.I hope this thing sells like shit.

Yeah, right. How the fuck are they going to get their ass kicked? Have you seen the DSLite, New Super Mario Bros., Metroid Prime Hunters, Tetris DS, Brain Training, and most likely Zelda: DS and Pokemon DS? Nintendo is going to dominate the handheld wars this year. Better get used to your new dual-Screen, touch-screen overlords...
Yeah, except that it isn't hand-drawn like this.
Which explains why they handed Star Fox to Rare and then Namco, F-Zero to Sega, and Mario Baseball to Namco, right?Sure they do. They are a fairly big company that can produce many games.
I hope companies that release non-games go bankrupt over it.Good. Then don't fucking complain when all that is released is what you refer to as "non-games." I'd actually like to see a decent mix of games and "non-games." The more variety, the better.
Easy. The DS was able to get a bunch of quality games out the door in late 2005 for two reasons: 1. The hardware is a little bit older than the PSP. 2. The hardware is less powerful and easier to develop for than the PSP. What was a boon for the DS in late 2005 will be a boon for the PSP in 2006. Go look at the announced games for each for this year. The PSP stomps all over it. Could that change at E3? Sure, but I predict it will get more lopsided. The fact that all you could name were first party games is evidence of it.Yeah, right. How the fuck are they going to get their ass kicked?

I will never understand the anti-Sony sentiment on this board. They have had better games than all competitors combined for two generations. While you're rubbing your cock against your Xbox and DS in the backseat, don't forget who's in the drivers seat.

I bet if it had Dora in it they would be saying its the best licensed platformer you can get on GameBoy. Because Dora is going to get compared to other Nickelodeon/Cartoon based games, and this is surely 10 times better than any other licencend product on the DS. Nintendo games get compared to Nintendo games.
Barf! Barf! Barf!
