Until I see something really mind-blowing done with that screen, I'm going to stick with my "gimmicky" feel.

Yoshi/WarioWare/Feelthemagic all made excellent use of the touch screen.
Again I repeat just because you didnt LIKE the titles..doesnt mean its "gimmicky".
The touchscreen is used to enhance the game or entirely IS the game in over half the current and future titles.
Which goes against what gimmicky means.

And so far, i would say that yes, DS second screen has become very gimmicky
|
Actually my apolagies, reread post and realized you were talking about the second screen solely as a second screen.
I still wouldn't classify it as gimmicky, because even just maps/easy access menus is a excellent addition to many games.
(Racing games benefit alot from it, the menu system in "The Urbz" as sucky as that game is, was very good and added to the game well not detracting from the main parts.
Spiderman2 basically used 2nd screen as a additional controller for special moves.
In all fairness yoshi is really only game atm that has gameplay elements added from the 2nd screen(having to keep track of enemies and coins up above).
It could(and probly will) get better use in future, I certainly agree.
I simply disagree with "gimmicky" to describe it, because it doesn't fit the description.
