Nintendo WiFi and DS's New Games
In the past, The Nintendo DS hasn't been the best system on the market, and it still isn't. But recently, Nintendo has decided to release many future DS games with WiFi. This means being able to connect to any router and play games over the internet, instead of close proximity play like all the previous DS games. This isn't new to PSP owners, but at least the DS is making an advancement. The to games to be released first with this new feature will be Tony Hawks American Sk8land and Mario Kart. The DS was originally designed for WiFi but has only now, released games to use it. Why Nintendo, why?
But it's not about that. it's about the new games. Tony Hawk is being released tomorow, and it doesn't look so bad. The graphics style is a sort of cartoony cell shaded look making the DS capable of a 3D, free roam, no loading game. You'd expect a cheesy game from DS, but this one's pretty decent. From the looks of it at least. It runs very fluently because it's not running off of a disc or anything; therefore, reducing a chopppy frame rate that the PSP had.
The fact that the DS has a touch screen is very much incoorporated into this game. Now you'll have the ability of making a board design, and shirt logo by drawing it. You can also pull off crazy tricks by using th etouch screen instead of annoying button combos. Everything from the original game is used here except the ability to get off of your board and walk around. All of the multiplayer games like Firefight, Trick Attack, Horse, Combo Mambo, ETC. are in this game along with 5 (I may be wrong) different levels.
This game is not the best looking Tony Hawk game but it IS a Tony Hawk game and PLAYS like one, so if you have a DS, this game is a must.
Other than Tony Hawk's American Sk8land, Mario Kart DS is also coming out for DS, and it looks better than the N64 Version.
