Super Mario 64 DS. How they could butcher a nearly perfect game like SM64 so terribly is beyond my comprehension
“The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.” - "Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them."
The original Scribblenauts looks like Superman 64 when compared to it's sequel. Pokemon Ranger was pretty "meh" for me. The new system of catching was kinda fun for a while, but the novelty wore off soon. It's like licking the frosting off of a cupcake, after you eat the good part you realize how bland the thing really is (isn't that such a clever analogy? I'm awesome~~)

Super Mario 64 DS. How they could butcher a nearly perfect game like SM64 so terribly is beyond my comprehension
I didn't feel like it was butchered but I can see where you are coming from. Some of the ideas they through in were interesting but in the end Yoshi was the one I picked since he felt like a wild card and could start with any hat. and with each persons different abilities it made some of the star way to easy to get in the later levels and really shortened some levels.
I say Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon. Yes, I know it's a remake of the original, but even for a remake I felt it had quite a dull story and cast. A remake like Metroid Zero Mission didn't have to worry about the story too much, instead revamping the graphics and maps and music, but for a game that relies on story so much, it seemed inexcusable to leave this remake without a gripping story or at least likeable characters.
Yeah, sometimes I wish they hadn't even bothered with the story, at least if there was no focus on it, the poor story might've gone unnoticed. The original had as much focus on story as Advanced Wars did, and I honestly don't remember if AW even had a story. Yet I still liked it because then the focus was squarely on the gameplay. The endless cutscenes and tutorials killed all interest I had in Shadow Dragon.
Yoshi's Island DS -- coming from the awesomeness that was the SNES game, this was just crap IMO. it felt gimmicky as hell, shooting eggs with any kind of accuracy was impossible; i traded it back in quickly lol Kirby's Canvas Curse -- it was too easy, felt like another cheap gimmick just to get people using the touchscreen. no thanks. Scribblenauts -- thankfully a friend let me borrow it instead of me paying for it, because i was not impressed at all.
Strongly disagree with all...IMHO
"They say video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock n' roll."
yep. everyone's got one, and i see you've now been acquainted with mine. enjoy. :3

[16:44] LztheBlehBird: James doesn't know the rules? For shame!!!
Kirby's Canvas was easily one of the greatest DS games I've played. I was WOW'd when I experienced the intuitive touch screen controls and gameplay. and by no means is it easy if you're trying to complete it 100% And in no way is it gimmicky at all. It's the perfect showcase of showing what the DS can do.
Agreed. Right there with Meteos as the first great and non-gimmicky touch screen games out there. But as it's been said, we all have our own opinions.
The weird thing about this game for me is how Rare couldn't make Diddy Kong Pilot and had to rename it Banjo Pilot to avoid problems with Nintendo but because it's a remake they could use Diddy but not Banjo in the remake?
It didn't help that they went from the extremely difficult silver coin missions which made up nearly half the game were replaced with some generic touch screen gimmick and the entire game just felt like a sad zombie of a game that should just die (an unintentional metaphor for Rare)
999 - Too little gameplay, too much reading... Scribblenauts - A tad too childish for me. Drawn to Life - Same reason as Scribblenauts. Dragonball Origins 2 - Felt identical to the 1st game, I was expecting more. Sonic Classic Collection - The FPS is terrible and too few extras have been added.
The World Ends With You - I found the combat extremely fiddly. International Track & Field - Just thought it was a REALLY bad game. Didn't enjoy it at all.
There was this one game similar to Scibblenauts and Drawn to Life in theory. It was called Marker Man Adventures. You play as a stick man and draw shapes with the stylus. The shapes help our stickman progress.
I can't be any more specific than that because that's all I could figure out. There were no instructions whatsoever. I didn't even know I could draw shapes until I played with the stylus a bit. I'm traveling through the level and I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing/collecting or if there's a goal I was supposed to reach. I was utterly lost.
I played for a good 15 minutes before I walked back in the store and demanded my money back.
TWEWY: great story, but I didn't like the combat system. Yoshi's Island DS: the levels never seemed to end, and it just wasn't fun. FIre Emblem DS: the gameplay was there as always, but the characters and story were bland. After awhile, continuing to play the same game I've already played three times (the GBA games and Path of Radiance) just wasn't doing it for me without a good original story. LostMagic: horrible path-finding combined with an unnecessary time limit make a potentially decent game very bad indeed. I know many others here feel differently, and I think the spell-casting itself was awesome. Too bad nobody else copied it for a better game.
There are others, as I rented quite a few turkeys while I was using GameFly. I was just glad to be able to send them away, sometimes the day after they arrived. I just can't remember any of their titles right now!

I like your Ruri avatar, SigourneyBeaver. I love Martian Successor Nadesico. Also, I too am not a fan of TWEWY.
Nadesico is amazing. Just finished watching it this week.
As for TWEWY, I absolutely LOVE the style of the game. It's so modern, but the combat was really awkward to me.
Yeah, it is amazing. Have you seen the movie? I haven't, but maybe I'll get to it later today since the third episode of Gundam Unicorn ain't up yet.
And I agree about TWEWY, great style, ut I didn't care for the combat and that really dragged it down.
Yep, saw the movie, and while it concluded things, I don't think it was as good as the main series. It was far too short, which is annoying when the series is fairly long. It's still a favourite anime though.
