Cube-Europe hat nen interessanten Bericht Online gestellt
Nintendo DS: If Only...
Ben's wishlist for the handheld
With the Nintendo DS penciled in for a March 2005 release in Europe, here at Cube-Europe we're buzzing with new ideas and games we'd like to see utilizing the NDS? new features and capabilities. Our new Nintendo DS Editor, Ben, kicks off our coverage with the games and ideas he wants to be playing and taking part in when the NDS finally touches down.
#1: There was Pikmin
One of the few truly original delights to be had on the Nintendo GameCube- Pikmin would be perfectly suited to the Nintendo DS? capabilities. Essentially held together by point-and-click pseudo-RTS-gameplay, the Nintendo DS? touch screen function could be used to devastating effect here, dragging and dropping the little critters around the map- selecting them with a sweep of your finger and pointing them in the direction that you want those bad boys to head in. The experience would be delightfully interactive. But let us not forget the collecting aspect of the game, what if you could order your Pikmin to gather round a bottle-cap- and then using the voice-recognition features, tell them to pick it up?
"Pik up them ther? bottle ?aps you chlorophyll-filled critters."
Maybe. The top screen could be used to manage how many of each colour Pikmin you have, what items you?ve gained- and your overall position on the map. Unimaginative? Yes. Useful? Hell yes. The bottom screen could show the action, with you dragging and dropping those plant-hybrids all over the place with the touch of your fingertip.
It?d be a dream to play- and with the NDS? multiplayer capabilities- a mad rush for the last few items of litter- with sixteen sets, neigh, armies of Pikmin desperate to pick it up, is not something of dreams.
#2: There were LANs
One of the many joys of PC Gaming has always been LANs- an organized event, where thousands of gamers descend on an area for some a huge multiplayer game-a-thon. Although- this is quite a hard thing to set-up, hundreds of computers and keyboards all have to be set up and sorted out, they all have to be attached to the network- local area network, hence "LAN", and all the bugs and problems have to be corrected before anyone can even start playing. It isn?t fun carting a beast of a computer to a LAN either. As you can imagine.
But imagine this; a huge arena, lined with seats- just waiting for hundreds of NDS gamers to come on down, and indulge in some sixteen-player Mario Kart DS multiplayer goodness. And there wouldn?t be much trouble either. You only have to bring a pocket machine. Not a flippin? tower.
It?d be easy to set up too, get into groups- and play. And that?s it folks. Trying to find a friend to have a game with? Use Pictochat. I can see it now ? competitions, prizes, celebrities! This is what gaming is all about, and with NDS, Nintendo gamers can enjoy this too. The world of e-Sports beckons! And there could be clans...*snip ? Ed*
#3: You could be Shigsy.
Imagine this: You?re playing as the Hero of Time, good ol? Link- you?ve just fought off a huge fire demon to progress to the next room. You see the boss key, glinting in all its glory- sat in the middle of a spider?s web. You know some ghoma-style spider-hybrid is waiting for you. But wait, how can you get across this huge lava-filled cavern to actually get there?
You pick up your pen- and with all your Picasso-esque skills, you draw a bridge on the bottom screen. Instantly, it comes to life.
You stroll over and whip some spider-hybrid ass- saving the day in the process. Job done. Wouldn't that be brilliant? The player could be put in Miyamoto-San?s very comfortable shoes. For the first time, levels can be manipulated, changed and re-written to suit the gamer. Doors can be created in shooters, blocks can be drawn in puzzle games- the sky really is the limit. This new level of interactivity is what the NDS is all about.
Better concentrate in Art class then.
#4: You could make your own games
The crustaceans among us may remember the joys of creating games on their Spectrum ? and with the NDS, they may be able to relive their bedroom-coding hay-days. You don't have to be some kind of Jon Carmack-esque superwhiz programmer to have fun creating your own games ? anyone with an imagination and some willpower can have a blast playing with game creation utilities, where the hardcore stuff has already been done for you. The NDS would be the perfect system to house such a program ? what with its dual screens, touch-screen capabilities and wireless functions.
Imagine: on the top screen, different views and angles of your game or map ? on the bottom, all the different manipulation tools needed to create your game, which you can utilize in the workspace, also on the bottom screen- all operated by the touch of your finger. And then, using the wireless capabilities of the DS- you can allow a fellow NDS owner to have a bash on your newly created game.
Although a possible piracy problem (Woah! Alliteration!)- if the NDS game cards turn out to be similar to the ones used in cameras- where data can be read and written- then you could download your game onto a card and then allow your friends to try it out.
As Aunt May once said, there is a Shigsy in all of us. No, wait..
#5: You could create your own characters
In the past, some titles have featured "character creation" utilities, namely sports games and the WWE titles- but they?ve only allowed for wardrobe changes and for physical attributes to be changed by the player. Some titles, Animal Crossing for one, have featured drawing utilities- but joypads aren?t the best tool for this kind of job- rendering character creation on the GameCube a rather clunky experience.
This could all change with the Nintendo DS- the touch-screen capabilities open up all kinds of doors for character creation. As we?ve seen in Namco?s Pac-Pix, it is possible for the NDS to animate a character created, and drawn, by the player. With the DS? touch-screen, players could draw characters with ease, and mould them with utilities that can be easily operated with the touch of a finger.
Now imagine this on a grander scale: creating your own designs for your nitrous-oxide-fuelled Need for Speed: Underground supercar(Note: These games haven?t been confirmed, but it?s nice to dream. EA have however announced a NFS title for NDS)? Or perhaps designing your own Pokemon ? and assigning the little beggar some attributes before unleashing him on Pokemon Online (MEGATON!!1)?
Sounds good, doesn?t it?
#6: There was cookery
Yes, I said cookery. At E3, the most enjoyable mini-game in Wario Ware DS was undoubtedly chopping up objects as they fell from, well, I'm presuming, the sky. The touch-screen worked brilliantly, allowing the user to swipe these objects in half with a carefully-aimed chop.
Now imagine this on a bigger scale. I present, Ready Steady Cook DS.
Great for up to four players, love-him or loathe-him Ainsley Harriot announces a specific meal. A frantic supermarket-sweep-esque mini-game ensues, each player tearing around a supermarket looking for the correct ingredients within a time limit. Once that is all done and dusted, it's back to the studio- and the first player to complete the meal, wins.
Commence chopping! The touch screen would be perfect for slicing and dicing carrots, potatoes and other edible foodery. Dragging and dropping items into boiling water, mixing and whisking ? I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous, but this would be fun.
I think.

New RPG von GameArts?? Grandia DS?
Wenn ja, wär ich der erste Käufer.
So langsam kommt die Softwarewelle.
DQM, DBZ, Goemon, Harvest Moon, New RPG (Namco, GameArts), New Work (SE) und Zelda stimmen mich vielleicht doch noch zu einem DS-kauf um. Wer weiß was es auf der GC alles zu sehen gibt?
