Thread: Nintendo DS..!!

The System itself does'nt interest me at all it just seems to gimmicky....i leaning more towards the PSP right now.........but it's sounding like the PSP is gonna have HORRIBLE battery life which Sucks

I have a DS, hell, I kinda have 2 if I count my brothers. It's fun just to use pictochat and see who can put each other in the wierder situation.

As for the graphics, I already said that the metroid didn't impress me, but it works. But also keep in mind that it's only a first generation game, give developers a year and i'm sure they can slap together a game with some pretty colours and visuals. Not that I really care, it's just a hand held, I couldn't care less if the graphics stay as is and I never get my 3 inches of 3d glory (seriously... how immersive can a 3d handeld game be?)

That wasn't the whole point of my statement. The other point was that until I see a ds game that hasn't been released 10 years ago or one that is actually "new" and not just another franchise character of nintendo's, then I will consider buying it. It's not just the graphics that determine the system handheld, it's the quantity of titles, originality of titles, and the quality that accompanies them. Also, since sp could barely handle 10 hours I doubt you'll be getting any more hours with the ds. Psp will run about the same amount of hours, but since it holds so much power and promise, people will probably have battery packs or a recharger device to buy with the psp.

IF the DS is out why is nintendo still advertising the SP. i see more SP ads on tv than DS ads.

Three reasons:
1)DS JUST came out....
2)SP is still selling big and now that the price has dropped because of DS more people are buying it.
3)DS is NOT the successor to the gameboy sp, there will be sp2 soon so think of the DS as a completely different handheld

Im not so sure it is even worth buying until like...a year from now when a bunch of games for it are out. Then i would consider buying myself one. Until then, i'll be playin other games i guess..

I think if we give the DS time, we can get a lil more variety of games. I think nintendo plans to get there 5th console on '05 aren't they? But I also want my hands on that Zelda game coming for the cube '05.
