Monkey Ball Mario.
You tilt the controller and use buttons for various actions. Just you wait...

Kudos on the Shigsy-picture.
It's clear that Mario 128 made huge evolutions from a concept project for the GC to the new ideas Nintendo came up with to build the Revolution around it.

That's what i like about N (among other things) they build consoles around gamesideas and new gameplayforms, not just powerpushing hardware that cram 10 times more poly's in a game and thats it.

Owh happy days...

That's true, but it does leave you with specialised hardware to a certain extent.

If your DS game doesn't use the touch screen or microphone, will it get approved for publication?

Sure it does, i don't think the New Super Mario Bros uses the touchscreen or the microphone for the main game (mini-games is something else). Nintendo has stepped down a long time ago from dictating developers.

Sony (no 3D, no deal) and MS (no HD-textures and Livesupport, no deal) behaviour is a bit more annoying.

At least someone is trying to innovate and keep it reasonable priced.
