Quick Review on the DS. Metroid Prime Hunters: Nice, if you liked the GC versions you'll eat this one up, I changed the control configuration so I wouldn't have to use the touch pad to aim however.
Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Mario 64 DS, remake of the original Mario 64, the graphics are actually really good, I found the 64's a bit better but that's to be expected. You can now play as 4 different characters(all slightly different) and they've added a bunch of addicting minigames that use the touch screen.</div>
<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>And finally Madden DS, this game sucks. It's extremely rushed, and it feels like every other handheld sports game, which sucks, it can be as good as the PSX's Madden games if they actually TRIED! Wait for 06.</div>
<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The DS version has better graphics than the original, I did a direct comparisson. Better quality textures, much more smooth looking; it's about the difference from the original Ocarina of Time to the Gamecube port.</div>
<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>That's a good comparison, unless you are using the Gamecubes component cables on a HDTV, in which case the Gamecube port looks spectacular.</div>
<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Alright but it's REALLY hard to tell that by looking on the Nintendo DS's 2 1/2 x 1 7/8 inch screen. They also redesigned some of the game's levels, added some things here and there, and took some things out. All for the better I might add.</div>
<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Also, one of the beauties of handheld is you can produce something that looks just as good as you would expect it to be on a home console with much less power since the screen is so much smaller. That's why the graphics on the GBA player look better on the GBA than through the GC</div>
