I argue foulplay on the inclusion of the Wii on this list. Or at least, shennanigans. The Wii drought will never stop. There's been a Ninty [console] drought since the end of the SNES era. For real. It's time to just let go.

That said, go go team DS.

Edit: I see you were talking about gaming (in general), I suppose that's allowed then. But really, Sonic? Does that even count? For any system?


I dunno as far as I can tell there's a Drought for the DS, too. Half of the games I bought this system for have turned into vaporware on me and right now the only thing I'm interested in is the next Pokemon, which makes me a bit sad.

Hell if I had the capacity to buy vaporware games I'd be the happiest gamer ever.

Don't get me wrong, I love DS long time. And ok, I exaggerated about 'half' of the games I wanted getting cancelled. But it has been a while since I got a new game for it (Yoshi's Island DS which I got for Xmas - it let me down so I traded it in almost immediately).

And right now judging by release dates there's nothing I want for a few more months, and a few titles that I do want have vague '2007' release dates attached to them. So it's probably going to be a while before I buy another DS game, unless I pick something up on impulse. In other words for me, the Nintendo drought isn't Wii-specific.

One game that went the way of the Dodo was Cerulean Dreams. It was essentially a shmup with light RPG elements and a relationship system which was probably something like Riviera's. Seemed pretty rad to me when I first heard about it, and I added it to the list of games I would eventually buy for my DS.

EDIT: I'm totally open to recommendations though, so if there's anything anyone has picked up for the DS lately that they think I should play, let 'er rip.

Holy beans, that Wario game looks pretty cool and it went totally under my radar! Graffiti Wario? Oh snap, I'm in just for that.

Good call Mr. Wes.

EDIT: Oh, well it's 'Art' Wario. Still pretty sweet though.

Yeah, Wii Sonic seems pretty good.
