You know, that's a good question. I know it picks up right where Windwaker left off, but that's ALL I know. I just picked up PH last night and it's been a few years since I finished Windwaker so I'm a little concerned that I may miss out on something myself. I guess just go at it and hope for the best. I still haven't found the time to play through Twilight Princess, so there's definately no time for meto go back and re-play Windwaker.

Good luck and all the best...

Metroid Prime Hunters had some of the best controls period. If your hand cramps, sell your DS, because using the stylus in it is no different from any other game.dieworm

That's got to be the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. Sell your DS because your hand is cramping??? Using the stylus is no different than any other game???

First of all, don't be a jerk. Don't go andsay something stupid like "sell your DS". There are many different games with many different control schemes that are comfortable to some and not others. Ihad problems with Trauma Center causing discomfort so I got rid of the game...not the system. Not everyone can balance the system the same way.

And using the stylus is definately NOT like playing "any other game". I don't know what 'other games' you play, but the stylus makes gameplay more like writing in a book or coloring. Extended gameplay can lead to writer's cramp or some people may suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I suggest you get a little more information before you go and say something stupid again. I'll even provide you a few links:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Writer's Cramp

Now, on to Call Of Duty DS...

I enjoyed Brothers In Arms...to an extent...but I found it to be quite a bit unresponsive. There were times that I had to drag the stylus several times to get the guy to turn around. Other times it was far too sensitive and I would completely miss my mark. Accuracy with some of the weapons was way off, and there were times it seemed like the opponent would fall before I fired...like there was a slight delay in the sound effects or the gun firing. It reminded me a lot of playing Goldeneye DS. I love the game but I couldn't play it anymore because the touch screen wasn't as responsive as it should be, and headshots weren't always lethal. I was a bit skeptical of Metroid Prime: Hunters when it was released due to the similarity to the Goldeneye DS controls, but they managed to tweak it a bit and I was able to enjoy it. However, I wouldn'tsay it's a GREAT game. MPH was far too short for a Metroid title and Nintendo delayed it far too many times. It should have looked a lot better than it did and offered a lot more variety. Let's face it, there were only 6 levels, 6 rival hunters, 2 level bosses, and 1 final boss. I hate to say it but I had more fun playing New Super Mario Bros. and it had much more content.

Overall, I think Call Of Duty has potential...but they need to take some input from gamers who had issues with similar titles and try to improve on the formula otherwise it'll be another mediocre title. It needs more precise controls, longer levels, MORE levels (BIA only had 13 short levels...wtf?), and good quality multiplayer online and offline. Until they get these things right, I think I'll stick to Medal Of Honor.

Now wait a minute...what about MOH: DS??? Now there's an idea....

I'm hoping my cash flow holds out to release day. Not that I really need to buy it day 1...I mean really...it's not like it'll be the hardest game to find since Final Fantasy 7 or Marvel Vs. Capcom 2...am I right? Uhm...guys? Gals? Back me up here...someone?

I guess it's a case of "wait & see", but I guess dropping a few "subtle hints" on major gaming messageboards such as this 'un can't hurt.

Perhaps doing something like a "Super Mario All Stars DS".... like the SNES "Super Mario AllStars" game, but graphics updated to "NEW SUPER MARIO BROS" standards... and perhaps trying to squeeze the first "Super Mario Land" & "Super Marioland 2" Gameboy games among the mini games on it (have you tried playing them 2 retro games on a GBA made before the backlit screen? It's next to impossible without football stadium spec lighting + a degree in advanced contortionism... which is a bit of a bugger, as the first one's still a good game to play occasionally).

I was actually thinking along the same lines...SMB All-Stars with NSMB graphics. And this time they need to put together some new mini-games instead of using the same ones from Mario 64 DS (did anyone else notice that?)

Just remember, the less you pay the better the chance that it's fake. Always buy electronics (and accessories) from a source you can trust.

Hori screen protectors...the ABSOLUTE BEST. I use them on my PSP and DS. Worth every penny. Of course they aren't cheap...about $10 a pop, but if you take care of them, you'll never have to replace them.
