DS VS PSP

MuGen · 05-13-2004, 08:10 AM

nintendo has way too many handhelds. it's good thing business wise to have them, but for some reason in my opinion having all these gameboys would be annoying.

The DS looks like a great gaming machine, and I dont think Nintendo should release a Gameboy successor so much as right after the DS. Wait a couple of years for people to save up money... because they just bought the DS.

I think... the DS should be there premiere handheld for 2004-2005 since it looks so good.

And the PSP is just a media machine that can provide entertainment in places you can't fit a big dvd player...lol

Honestly i think the PSP is going to hurt nintendo and take a decent chuck of thier control over the handheld market away. to me the PSP is looking very very good.

Nintendo im a little worried about overdoing it in the handheld game. They are kinda shooting themselves in the foot. the Reason the original gameboy beat all thoes other handhelds was cuz it had been around so long and had so many games. If nintendo had got tit for tat with every other handheld and kept releasing new updated gameboys to compete with them all im not so sure they woulda won against all the competition.

seems like nintendo might have lost sight of that. i think the rushed out the original GBA, only to fix some issues and bring out the SP. and now suddenly theres already a DS, with yet another gameboy on the harizon? They're making it almost too hard to keep up with em.

Thats not saying it wont do well. im sure it will. but IMO its a warning for the future. people dont want to continuously buy new handhelds. and i think nintendo should hold off for a good long while on a new gameboy after this DS.

Well, to be honest, all it would have taken is Nintendo announcing Pokemon for the DS for me to push it out in front of PSP. A Pokemon game that takes advantage of DS's features and power would be great in my opinion. PSP still looks stunning, if I had to chose between them and Money was not a factor I'd take PSP in a heart beat, but the fact is money is an issue.

Well, they haven't done anything Pokemon yet because they're finishing up with Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green, and shipping it with the wireless adapter. I think they'd announce the new one at Space World or at least a couple months after both those games are released.

But I'm liking the prospects for Pokemon DS.. only they'd probably just do another Gameboy one instead. Probably a launch title for the Game Boy Evolution.

Do a god damn Pokemon RPG on the Cube, enough with the same handheld crap. Bring it to the Cube!!

It was pretty good.

Hardly what I call an RPG.
