Abstract: Is there anything a stylus can’t do? Perhaps the question should be rephrased: is there anything it shouldn’t do? Developers have wrestled with that thought since before the Nintendo DS shipped in 2004. The answer isn’t easy. If done inc...

Abstract: Over the years the Zelda franchise has evolved quite differently depending on if youre looking at the console side of things, or just the portable world. While the "main" series - if you can call it that - has progressed from classic 2D top-down to 3D...
Abstract: Nintendo Along with the Mario games, the Zelda series is one of the most popular to ever come to Nintendo consoles. Nintendo DS is now graced with its first Zelda, a game that has nothing to envy to its older brothers. Either if youre a huge fan of t...
