Of note is the front and back camera, like the DSi. Still don't see any buttons, so whether this will kill handheld gaming devices remains to be seen ( I doubt it )...

Congratulations kentona, this is a major step forward.

Since we're in a glut of "Best/Worst of" topics, let's try this one. Name a game you admit is good, but you personally don't like it.

I'll start with: Mass Effect, Final Fantasy 5, Majora's Mask, Lock's Quest, Castlevania 1, and Castlevania 3.

Apparently Microsoft was never really funding this one. Other than some quickie games on the DS, one wonders what Mistwalker has planned these days console-wise.

Breath of Fire's future is pretty bleak too.

... and then I bought Last Remnant. Actually, it's decent so far. But, yes, for those who haven't gotten it yet, it for all intents and purposes is the next-gen entry in the SaGa franchise. Made by Akitoshi Kawazu and the SaGa team. The battle system is the high point so far, as it seems they've finally hit on something pretty good. Instead of PCs, you have squads of PCs that you give commands to in battle. It's pretty nifty, and rather than waste time writing about it, I'm going back to play. I just wanted to publicly post that Kawazu got me. :D
