UPDATED: I forgot about "Dig Dug: Digging Strike" How could I do that?
I have some unusual interests. One of them involves the naming of games for the DS.
And I am happy to report, as 2007, draws to a close, that one of the worst trends of DS game-naming was nearly stopped this past year.
But I am also sad to also report that a 2008 return of this trend looks likely.
I speak of the tendency to give DS games a subtitle that can be acronym-ed as the letters "D.S." You know, like "Advance Wars: Dual Strike" (that was clever in 2005 only).
Please consider these following results of my investigation and weigh in on this trend.
(And, no, someone else can do a cross-comparison between this phenomenon and the thankfully-short-lived trend of putting a "64" at the end of Nintendo 64 games.)
