DS Homebrew: What’s Your Poison?

One aspect of handheld gaming I really need more exposure in is homebrew, because God knows it’s a huge part of the portable experience.

Nintendo and Sony aren’t exactly cheerleaders for the homebrew movement; they probably feel much the same way as a father who gave their son a toolkit as a present, only to watch him start drilling holes in the grandfather clock to see what makes it tick.

But just as that renegade kid will doubtlessly be driven to put together some fascinating thingamajigs (against all the blueprints and notes his father pushes upon him), homebrewers put together some lovely adaptations of popular titles as well as their own constructs.

DS Fanboy asks its readers if there’s any particular adaptation gamers would like to see on the DS. Cave Story is coming closer to completion, or so the whispering winds tell me. What kind of titles would make you happy?

(Oh uh and I suppose that a “homebrewer” would make his or her own game, whereas someone who adapts a premade game to a console isn’t a homebrewer but…something else. What? Probably a “pirate” depending on whom you ask.)
