SM64 was the only
decent launch game, yeah (thanks, third parties) but the system had a
very competent lineup from November 21, 2004 to November 21, 2005: Super Mario 64 Daigasso Band Brothers Kirby Canvas Curse WarioWare Touched
Advance Wars: DS Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (lol This DS meme) Trauma Center Sonic Rush Meteos (a godly puzzler) Lost in Blue (I like it, at least) and the harbingers of Nintendo's repeated success: Nintendogs and Mario Kart DS As well as Nintendo's effortless little money mill from Japan: Brain Age Yeah January through April might have been a little rough, but the system certainly wasn't a «joke» to own for an entire year.
