IncGamers' Tim McDonald takes on Nintendo's new Mario RPG for the DS.
From the review:
"I'm consistently amazed at the lack of penetration the Mario RPGs seem to have. The first was Super Mario RPG on the SNES, which was Squaresoft, and was highly acclaimed. The second, Paper Mario, was on the N64 so it's not entirely surprising that didn't do wonderfully. Since then, we've had a Game Boy Advance title, a Gamecube title, a Wii title, and – with Bowser's Inside Story – two DS titles. It's a well-received series, but not one that's spoken about in the same hushed tones as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest."
While not the greatest handheld from day one, the best Nintendo DS games still offer some of the most fun you will find on any console.
The fact that Tetris DS does not include an unlimited play mode make it one of the worse Tetris versions for me. The online play was OK back when it still worked.

"With so many amazing RPGs releasing this year, it's time to honour the best with our annual RPG awards for 2019." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
I just see Mario as being for kids, doesn't appeal to me at all.
I saw an interview recently where Mr M basically said they wanted LESS immersiveness and story in the RPGs. Could that be why?
I'm 42 and I still think Mario is the bomb....it's THE reason I own a Wii and DS...got my PS3 for the 1080p stuff.
