“Bitter? No, Why Do You Ask?”
Not to come off as bitter or anything; I mean, even if it WERE available in the US, I still wouldn’t be getting it anytime soon, but hearing that over 12,000 black Nintendo DS Lite units were stolen en route to Europe makes me want to laugh just a little bit on the inside.
Also, they link to a piece on UK site Pocket Gamer that tells how Nintendo might just kick some ass and win the war.
From the article:
‘Let’s go back the beginning, the games. It’s all about the games, Nintendo’s faithful fans will argue, and the DS has great, mad and unique games where the PSP so far has, at best, competent-to-very-good PS2-lite fare. Yes, but it’s not that simple. See, I was there in the mid ’90s playing the genre-defining Mario 64 and the breathtaking Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, perhaps the two greatest games of their generation, on the Nintendo 64. And I remember Sony going on to win that war, and PlayStation becoming the de facto shorthand for ‘video games’.”
