|  "New DS Game Screens"
, posted Fri 28 May 02:26
GAF has posteda bunch of new DS game screenshots and I wanted to see what everyone else here thinks of them.
Personally, I found them to range from absolute crap to somewhat useful. Egg Monster Heroes looks as if it's been ported over from the GBA and Square-Enix just tossed a big piece of monster artwork onto the bottom screen to cover that up. And Pac-Man and Bomberman look pretty boring and uninspired, even though Pac-Pix's gimmick is sort of inventive.
Gundam Seed and Yu-Gi-Oh, on the other hand, are at least doing something sort of useful. Gundam Seed is providing you with one screen for full-on action and another for the HUD, eliminating the ugly menus, health bars, and other HUD crap that have been covering up the action in... well, every single action game before the DS. And Yu-Gi-Oh is finally solving the design problem that those games have always had, which is how to show off the anime's giant monster battles while still maintaining one of the most basic elements of a collectible card game, which is continuing to plot your next move while the other player is taking his turn. Too bad it still has the same embarassingly half-assed 3D visuals that every other 3D Yu-Gi-Oh game has had.
