Oh no, snowboard kids

Please dont tell me its an N64 port. Cos thatd be one helluva bad start for the DS if it is...

Jinsei Game DS? It's the Game Of Life!
Duh!

Snowboard Kids? Sucky!

Choro Q? Blah!

Only Caduceus and Shin Megami Tensei are the ones to watch for.
I wish they made a port of Persona 1 for PS1 ot the DS.
Persona 1 rules!

Atlus published Disgaea in the US. Thats one of my favourite games on PS2, ok, Koei published in Europe, but still, it rocks.

I liked snowboard kids... and think a 16 player wirelessly connected snowboard kids would be pretty damn good fun

Snowboard Kids has been confirmed to be a sequel, not a port of the N64 game

Could be, if you happen to have 15 other friends who will be in posession of a DS

Also, Im concerned about how well this wireless connectivity is going to work. WIFI loves interference, and 802.11b wasnt really designed to support 16 players connected to one another with no router...
