Nowher's an interesting glimpse into the direction games are going for the DS:

Why Tokyo Crowds Can’t Stop Playing Dragon Quest IX
lol... imagine this format for Descent: You're walking down the street, or sitting in McD's and your DS is in your pocket... Suddenly you hear Guide-Bot (who's a pretty cool and very useful feature in this fantasy;)) alerting you to an approaching Pyro that is issuing a challenge! You whip out your DS, accept the challenge and kick some butt! You win the match and collect a few bits of booty, which are persistent across games in this scenario. Another Pyro approaches and wants to do some trading. He's got the super upgraded mega after burner... very rare... so you swap him 5 mega missiles and a few shield orbs, well you had extra anyway.
Now that might do it!

Wwwoooooooooowwwww! That's a bit crazy for an idea for Descent. I think it'd ruin Descent's dark atmosphere (it's kind of hard to explain exactly why, but I have this feeling that it would)
But it's a good funny idea none the less. I'll 1 up you for that!

Ugh, Descent as a RPG?
I just can't picture it.

NO NO not RPG! Just some elements like keeping powerups and trading them. And mainly I was referring to the method of finding players, which has nothing to do with RPG! And it wouldn't change the atmosphere. There could be an element of risk to trading, your opponent could turn and attack anyway. OK?
I am not talking about copying Dragon Quest, with 6DOF.

I know what WillyP is getting at. It's a great idea, but I don't think it would take off.

Yes, I do, whether you think so or not.
You are thinking of adding features from DQ9 to a Descent DS game. What you are thinking of is being able to trade various items found in various mines/levels in the game, with a small economical element to it. You are also thinking of adding a feature where you are alerted when another DS Descenter is around and you two can duke it out in a quick match. Am I right?

I get it, and the latter idea sounds good, but I still can't see it catching on, either.

You
are
right... unfortunately so is Scy...
The future of Descent is in the hands of it's fans, I think that's about it. Maybe one of us will get lucky and win the lottery and buy out the rights to all of Descent. Then donate it to and open source project. Won't be me. I'm not lucky enough.

Hey Zero, drop your nasty little DS and go get a PSP
Cause I'm jamming on some PSP Descent right now!
Seriously, go get one. Homebrew support/capabilities are outstanding. We've even got Windows 95 running on it too.

I don't get any game system unless they have a bunch of Flagship titles on them. I'm still waiting for the PS3 to come out with something like Ace Combat 7. The PSP has Ace Combat X, but that's it. Nothing else that I like.

Oh, so
that's
what makes some consoles more popular than others; the fact that they support all the already famous game franchises.
Doesn't hurt to try something new every now and then, Zero.
