Specs leaked, though probably not exactly news to most of the posters in this thread.
shock

I haven't played my DS in years. unhappy

This is kind of tempting, but it doesn't feel like a must-have item. Two screens with different aspect ratios makes me sad.

Yes, perhaps the designers forgot about Game & Watch!

I don't really play iPhone games either! smile

It all started when I got the Wii, I think. Or these glasses.

Games!

3D Zelda is tempting, but I'm not sure I can be bothered faffing around swapping cartridges in this day and age. tongue

Excitement get!

Also, Infinite Space is LOOONG. I hit the end of act 1 after about 26 hours of play time; presumably act 2 is of similar length (I lost interest and haven't played it for a few weeks!)
I recently resumed playing thus. I'm now over 50 hours through, but I think there's only one and a bit chapters left. Unfortunately the difficulty curve does seem to fall off a bit once you reach the two-thirds mark, but it's still lots of fun.

The English subtitled trailer, linked to in a forum post - for those who didn't read that far.

57:22:18. Plus when you complete it you get a new game mode unlocked, and you can use your "finished" save to start a new game, which gives you the advantage of all the characters you (re-) meet retaining the XP level they had at the end of your previous game. Plus of course it's a convenient way of exploring all the other branches of the story.

"Infinite Line will be based on the novella "Childhood's End" by Arthur C. Clarke."

Ooh, I read this just the other week shock
After reading the synopsis on wikipedia, I can confirm that "based on" means "not really that much in common with".

Now if you don't mind, I'm going to go check Animal Crossing to see if everyone's dead yet. Must be just over two years since I last played...

Hmm:

Dear future Phlamey,

You rock!

From Phlamey
Hah! I wonder when I sent that.

Also: No stink flower! What the hell?

But on the bright side, I just managed to shoot down the UFO again grin
