DS Daily: Neglected

Sure, DS Fanboy is awesome (uh, right?), but no one's perfect. We all have our foibles and our obsessions, and that includes you. So we wonder ... what's missing? Is there something you love that we're not covering appropriately? Sure, you can always send us tips, but sometimes, in our lust for the latest Phoenix Wright pointy-finger accessory of doom, we might miss a few import titles. So don't forget to let us know that we're not perfect. It keeps us humble.

1. How about an update on Ultimate Card Games? I thought this was supposed to come out in 2005. Get investigating!

2. Or maybe a feature like "Titles that look cool but aren't" I get pretty wary of some games. And it would be nice to hear from someone who knows. I am new though, so you may already do that.

3. I'm a Dragon Quest fan more than anything, and Rocket Slime was excellent, but we neeed mooooore! I had heard that DQM: Joker was coming, but I haven't seen any localisation info on that. And god knows DQIX is ages away. Or it feels like it anyway. WANT MORE DRAGONS AND QUESTING.

And keep up the homebrew coverage, and then some! I do love me a homebrew game.

4. I feel that you guys only cover big titles that people are going to buy anyways. Thats great and you guys are the blog I come to for that type of info, but maybe you should have a weekly segment on the good videogames/information that go under the radar.

5. How about ALOT more reviews/news of products and accessories for the DS?

Posted at 10:56AM on May 2nd 2007 by SK

6. Augh you pegged me! I only added news feed due to Phoenix Wright fangirlism to begin with.

7. yeah wut the other guy said, a list of retard games that should be not bought, and an online homemade text game guide donation area

8. I second the Ultimate Card Games idea. I really liked the first game for the gba. It's much better than clubhouse games because it keeps track of more statistics. Please do some investigating for us.

9. And can you also finally get to your guide on homebrew for the DS. I remember when you originally announced that you were going to do a feature on it and then it was a couple of months until you updated and said the it was coming soon in a reply to someone's comment on a post eerily similar to this one, and now it's been another couple of months.

Posted at 11:33AM on May 2nd 2007 by PeterK

10. I'd really like to hear about some more import titles besides that big ones that every one pretty much knows are going to get a statesiderelease, like Oendan and Phoneix Wright for example. It would just be nice to know about any import titles that might be slightly enjoyable that don't necessairly recquire a great understanding of the japanese language, like front mission for example.

11. Needs more endless obsessing over how awesome Phantasy Star Online DS would be, so I'm not alone.

I'm actually beginning to think I've developed OCD.

Damn you SEGA, for making such a mess of PSU!

12. HAHA! PeterK, that was me! And I was just thinking the same thing.

"Didn't I answer this last time? Should I try again? Will they squash me like a pest, or actually put up a homebrew guide?"

Come on! Homebrew! I don't need a guide on developing homebrew, I need a guide on accessing homebrew. I'm lost here. DSFanboy is my primary source for all things DS, but if your position is "There are other homebrew guides out there," please put your stamp of approval on one and link it. Thank you!

13. Homebrew! I just got my DS today (UPS dropped it off about an hour ago, and DHL still hasn't delivered my New Super Mario Brothers), but I'm really excited about the homebrew stuff. I've found tons of sites about homebrew on the DS, and guess what? They all SUCK. They all make way too many assumptions about what the average person knows about it already, so it's very hard to figure out where to start.

14. i seem to be the only one that cares about this, but i would like to see some more coverage on the DS Browser. like maybe a review of it and how it works as well as if there will be any changes for the U.S. market (aka-flash or video support).

Posted at 4:31PM on May 2nd 2007 by LooP

15. I'd like more reviews of games, not just the big name ones, and not just screen shots. Maybe less of every single little insignificant thing that comes out with zelda or FF or phoenix wright in or near the title, don't get me wrong, I do love those games, but I don't need to know every single time a developer doodles on a page. Less of that stuff, more variety, reviews and accesories.

Information I can use and more discussion oriented posts, I like interaction. :)

Posted at 5:29PM on May 2nd 2007 by Sarah

16. I like the posts that keep an eye on what's coming up. I have one in particular saved in my bloglines from the beginning of the year, but I think that was the last one you guys did.

I know you do a post every week on what's coming out that week, but what about giving us a heads up for what's coming out the current month (most on-the-shelf magazines do this)?

Sometimes when you mention games, I find myself having to go to other sites to figure out when I can get my hands on it.

Posted at 5:34PM on May 2nd 2007 by JM

17. In response to a few of the posts above me. Yeah, seems like DS Opera US version dropped off the face of the earth? I imported from the UK just for the heck of it and have been curious to see what has changed, and havent seen anything about it online.

I think more accessory stuff would be cool too, things like commercially produced case-mods, or other 3rd party things companies come out with. You guys have done some of that in the past and I thought it was really cool.

18. Sales charts!!!

I don't care about hardware sales in Japan.

Let's see Game sales.

How about game sales charts:

*covering and crossing ALL platforms,
*for the U.S and world totals.
*With total sales to date
* a regular chart of the best selling games of the year.
*a regular chart showing wich publisher has most total sales of the year by multiple titles

With all the Fanboy baiting that goes on in this network why not cut to the chase and see who's kicking who's ass on the sales charts?

19. Ahhh, homebrew guide. You got me on that one -- I haven't even a good reason for the continual delay there, and I hang my head in shame. I promise it won't be as long as it's been since it was first mentioned!

Posted at 9:32PM on May 2nd 2007 by Alisha Karabinus

20. A homebrew guide or a link to one of the better ones would be nice. I can't seem to find anything good to use, and I have no idea where to start anyway...

Also more coverage on the DS Browser, definitely. Please? Please...?!
