Instead of wasting your time redesigning your hardware every 6 months Nintendo, why don't you focus on first party titles?

Maybe the DSi screen is too small to suit the native resolution? :P

I don't think the same people that redesign hardware make games, and it's not like DS doesn't have the 3rd party support. Regarding Wii, look at next year.

Steg, you're still a terrible troll. Get better, or quit while you're ahead.

Steg you are doing my head in now, well done you really are a great troll.
You clearly didn't read and understand what I said (Which CheekyLee has also highlighted to you loads of times).
Ben contributes to this forum and his complaint with Nintendo was valid and well put.
You do neither of these things.
Shut up.

So I can't complain about stuff?

Show Spoiler Ben's complaining and you like him for it.

Steg all you do is complain and cause arguments.

Oh Metal Gear 4 is a movie over and over again or a terrible one line joke that's not funny, or make unfair assumptions (like now) on what people would do if you said it bla bla.

But...why? All the games will still be in the same resolution. it'll just stretch the image and make it look even worse!

Just feels like a pointless cash-in/waste of time.
