Fighting Games on Nintendo DS

Seriously, why are there almost no fighting games on the Nintendo DS? The six-button layout makes it perfect for Street Fighter, so why haven’t they stepped up to the plate to satiate our desire for mobile fighting games? Yes, we got Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, but I want MK2, damn it…
This omission is terribly unfortunate, seeing how the DS Lite effectively has the same controller as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, a classic home console that was home to an abundance of fighting games. The SNES was around during the golden age of fighting games, when everyone was trying their hardest to usurp Street Fighter II. We were treated to great games like Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat, as well as some lesser-known titles like TMNT: Tournament Fighters and ClayFighter.
So, let me ask you: where are my DS fighting games?
Anyways, I explore this issue a little further at Mobile Magazine. Click here to check out the rest of the article.
