My Mobile Gaming Device? An iPod Touch

I’m a Nintendo kinda guy. I love Zelda, my kids and I trade pokemon like it’s going out of style, and our Wii is a family pass time. Nintendo has been a part of my existence since the NES, and I have no regrets about that. When the DSi was announced I was underwhelmed by…
