I just realized... ZELDA: THE PHANTOM HOURGLASS COMES OUT TODAY!!!!
Looks good. . . If it was on a 1280*1024 screen with AA and AF on max.
But from the TV it looks terriably jagidy and unsmooth, although the use of the touchpad seems good. Unlike PSP which has a high enough resolution screen for you to not really notice unsmooth edges, the DS seems to suffer from that badly, as I have seen on TV and experienced with DS emulation when all graphic enhancements are off like with the DS.
The DS's graphics are good for cartoon like things, 3d stage environments and emulations (that stupid dog game), but as soon as you get to overhead stages like from what i could see, that zelda game and FF3, the walls really look bad and the textures look messedup when displayed over a short distance.
It probably is me just being fussy, but I do not think that 3D in the case of that zelda game was the best thing for the DS, although it shows what it can do in both positive and negitave ways.
I will play it as soon as DS hinge emulation comes, but then it will look better than on the DS definatly due to I am certian the DS does not use 8*AA and 16*AF when rendering.
Well sorry for this graphic rant, but it is the most doticable thing I saw from the adverts ect.
I am sure it will be a great game non the less, and people say emulators run it near perfectly but for hinge problems.
bah, DS emus run ridiculously slow on my computer.enulators have the best setup thoe.
You can use your left hand to run all the buttons in a small area while accuratly using your right to move the mouse which in return acts as the styrus on the lower screen so if your brain can handle whats going on (both using the mouse and the keyboard at the same time while evading / doing stuff) you should be able to outpreform a actual DS as far as action capability.
Idea 1 sounds quite good if it was built in properly, they could be like AI that follow you around, like up to 3 of them that once they get hit too much get sent back to where you found them, could allow a basic multiplayer by letting other humans use the weaker heroes.
Point 3 is because Japanies are sexist and can not have a female being on par with the main hero easily.
Point 4 if zelda was the main hero of the game, ganandorf would most likely be a good guy since they are both as likely to happen.

Lol very true. I am just a bit concerned because it seems to me that they are starting to shift some of their focus towards an older teenage audience and if thats so they need to get past the basic setup they continue to use.
