I just know for every 1 game using that second screen in a innovative way, there will be 10 others showing your inventory screen <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Man Game Gear must be kicking itself right now. It missed the boat on huge chunky handhelds that probly have no battery life and that most people won't buy.
Why don't they just use the GBA D-Pad, which is the same one as on the GC Pad. It's worked for the last 5 years+, so why not now. But this sure is an improvement from before
Dear god, a Power <i>button!?</i> what were nintendo thinking, imagine the scene: You're playing Metroid prime:hunters, franticly yourun round a corner, your finger slips, and..... BAM you lose power.

God not another $80 to shell out for a system I will end up not getting enough use out of. Why must you shake me down for money Nintendo?? <i>Why??</i> Why do you betray your loyal fanboy?
I really hope that they will continue using the DS's power to make sprite games, as a revisitation to the PS era of 3-D gaming (think FF8) would be painful in the extreme.

I'd rather have a handheld I can play games normally on then having to click a second screen to shoot or move or w/e the hell in the "inovative" games Nintendo and the partner companies are developing for the DS.
Logically though, the DS is going to kill the PSP in sales. Nintendo's handheld market has been the strongest in the industry for a long, long time.
Man that PSP is gonna die a hella lot faster than the DS will, if the DS ever does. Also, I significantly doubt that the DS will be more than $100. Now the PSP on the otherhand might be $200 and run out of battery power every two hours*...

1) PSP's current projected price is $300. Yep. DS, I'm guessing, will be $100-150.
2) I have a feeling a large number of games will be using the second display as a static screen (map, inventory, etc). There's nothing that says you *have* to use the touch-screen -- and if you did, it could be used as "buttons" that you would hit with your thumb just like the normal buttons on the face.
I don't think anyone's going to make games that are *annoying* because of the touch screen. Well, some might, but every system has lemons. Buy it for the good games; don't eschew it for the crap ones.
The DS will do things that no gaming console has ever done.
The PSP can watch movies and play music... and as a result has a battery that runs dry in a quarter of the time you can play on the DS.
Sony has tried to make the PSP do too much. The DS does a lot, but Nintendo kept its focus: GAMES. And I think sales will reflect that fact.

Should be another great creation from Nintendo.
