Nintendo’s ethos of putting the fun back into games – well, did it ever really leave on their consoles? – works wonders on the Nintendo DS. Features which might at first seem like gimmicks, like the touch-screen and to a lesser extent the built-in microphone, add depth and immersion to the gaming experience in a way I hope the Wii’s ‘revolutionary’ (ho ho) new control interface will.
I have only one complaint so far, Nintendo. In the good old days, attempting to be naughty with text input would more often than not result in a hasty smackdown from the game in question. Why, then, was I allowed to teach Animal Crossing’s sweet, innocent Bree the following rudery?
Honestly. That takes some explaining when people try out my town.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that I no longer understand my own joke/pun about the Wii’s “revolutionary” interface. It is highly likely that it was never funny, or never made any sense.
In either case, apologies.
