I was just wondering... am I the only guy who thinks the 2nd screen on the DS is completely useless? I mean, what the hell, 80% of the games DS has uses the 2nd screen to display a stupid map. You'd rather make a bigger handheld, and pay more for a 2nd screen, rather than press Start to see a stupid map? Lets look at some of the games:
Super Mario DS: The 2nd screen is a map.
Castlevania: The 2nd screen is a map.
Mario Kart DS: The 2nd screen is a map.
Frogger: The 2nd screen shows your status (score, time, etc).
Animal Crossing: The 2nd screen shows your status.
Super Princess Peach: The 2nd screen shows cute animations of the princess.
Here is an idea. Make a new handheld with N64 graphics, but with only 1 screen! It can be a touch screen if you want... You know, that way the DS can actually fit in your pocket, and won't cost as much. It does make very little difference. What? Are the gamers too lazy to press Start to see their map?
Am I the only guy who thinks the 2nd screen is useless? I think I'll take the PSP over the DS, thank you.
