Mendon Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Just finished reading an interesting IGN article called "Nintendo's Missed Opportunities". At first glance, one might think this is just another story slamming Nintendo and its business decisions. But I found it to be actually quite fair, giving Nintendo credit for viable ideas and explaining the reasoning behind these ideas, but then detailing a better way of implementing the ideas from IGN's perspective. Read the article here: http://wii.ign.com/a.../1198294p1.html One other thing.... until reading this article, I can't recall ever hearing or seeing the DS "Thumb Strap"!

ComputerSpaceFan Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I just read it, and I agree, very poignant without slamming Big N for their practices. The one item I think they forgot to mention was Wii Motion + As for the thumbstrap, I still have mine. It came with the DS Phat but not with any future versions of the handheld.

I bought a launch DS and I don't recall ever seeing the strap. I guess that shows how much attention I give to the total contents of a box when I'm in a hurry to try out a system/console Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagitekAngel Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 That thumbstrap would be invaluable for certain cramp-fest games like Metroid Prime Hunters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I kept my thumbstrap from my launch DS. Works great with the DSi etc. They really should have shipped future versions with the strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
