Nintendo has been overdoing touch screen games. The only game I'm looking forward to is Zelda. The last I'm got was Star Fox which I don't play anymore cause of to much of the touch screen. I want a regular game like Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros. And don't get me started on to much anime art in these touch screen games. I'm sorry if I offend anyone but I can't stand anime!!!

Overdoing the touch screen? I say they're not using it enough.

I agree. The last two games I have gotten, FFIII and Castlevania: PoR, do not use the touch screen at all.

You're not going to be happy, then, when you realize Zelda exclusively uses the touch screen.

Regular games are fine and all, but I honestly get more entertainment out of games that have clever usage of the touch screen.  I love how I can play games like Phoneix Wright, and Hotel Dusk by using only the stylus.  Another thing to consider, is all the people out there that haven't been able to play video games due to injury or birth defect.  If I were to lose the usage of one of my hands, I would feel blessed for having games based around the touch screen.  I know I'm talking about a small percentage of people, but these games are a lot easier to play for many people, than the complex controllers of our next-generation. 

The DS is a unique system.  I think that the more developers harness the DS's technology, the more it supports Nintendo's dream of creating something truly special.  Basically, if all we got were a bunch of regular games, we'd be better off with a new GameBoy, not a DS.

No point in having a unique feature if they're not going to use it...

I agree as well, I would like to see more use made of the touch screen. It is one of the best parts of the DS!

I am impartial to the touchscreen. If a game requires it, I'll use it. If it is used creatively, I'll have no problem using it. A good example of creative use is Resident Evil. If you have to control using it, I would rather not use it. I really prefer games that give you the choice of using it or not. You can play the entire game or Final Fantasy 3 using it, but they also allow regular control options. And as far as games like Hotel Dusk and Elite Beat Agents go, I don't think I would play them just because they don't seem interesting to me at all. I just prefer regular controls to touchscreen controls.
