what good games are for the ds? Rofl, the psp allready has better games.
yeah amazing games. I mean they turned Metal Gear Solid into a card game. yeah man my backing goes to THAT system. :rolleyes
Yeah i know its to hard to look at two screens with a gay stick to use, PSP 9/10 DS 3/10. The PSP has such better manufacturing.
If you actualy PLAYED the system without talking out of your ass, you would realize the screen split is a genious idea. No longer are the race tracks in a race game in the small corner, but now on the touch screen. Castlevania DS has the map and several menu items and info on the top screen. Metroid Prime hunters has the touchscreen for the map and is used as a sort of map with the stylus, making D-pads and joysticks obsolete. The touch screen even personaly rivlas the ability of a mouse in a FPS on the computer.
~EDIT~
Keep in mind when I made this thread, it was after I read through just the technical specs for the system. While nowafter information has reached my ears I have decided I'm not so enthusiastic about it. First off, I'm not going to buy a PSP just cause it plays MP3's. The fact it plays dvd movies sounded good, until I saw a show for the process of watching it which took a good 30 minutes using 3 programs to convert the file and reduced the quality of the movie drasticly and the fact the disk doesn't hold a full movie. I have to say the PSP isn't looking that good.
One thing that bugged me about the PSP is the same thing that bugged me about the Gameboy Advanced. While the Nintendo DS and the earlier released Gameboy SP had a compact ability to enclose itself nicely in a package, the PSP sports an older Gameboy Advnaced Original design which I find rather out dated. The Gameboy Advanced screen cracked easily, and the PSP has a LCD screen that I am scared may crack in my hands.
About 4,800 Japanese PSPs have been returned to Sony due to problems with the handheld's square button, according to a recent interview with Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi in Nikkei Business magazin
Plus faulty manufacturing.
Nikkei Business reported that, to date, 6 percent of the 800,000 shipped units have been returned to Sony for repair.
The whole reason is they didn't want to reduce the screen. one of the developers just said "problems with the button? deal with it we didn't want to reduce the screen size."
PLUs, the DS has cartrages(Nintendo and it's stubborness) removing the reliance on the memory card both the Playstation and Gamecube and now the PSP has. Yeah the PSP is the only handheld you need to buy memory cards for. I was wrong ealier about the weight. after looking in to it more, the PSP weighs more... alot more. While many ppl look to the PSP for wireless internet gaming, the DS has it's own wireless capabilities and the two are VERY similar. Plus the DS may download a game to allow to people to play off one cartrage over the small wireless abilities built in. The DS will also see the microphone which is built in to be used effectively I'm sure come time the DS goes online.
The DS has it's pictochat, which with a stylus becomes the best thing to type with nexxt to the keyboard. Phones and d-pads are the way of the past now, th touch screen adds speed and ease to typing in, be it in a chatroom or jsut a name for your character in a game.
I myself already have ALOT of gameboy gmaes physicly (though im not shy about downloading them). The fact I can also play my Metroid Zero game on the Nintendo DS and on either of the two screens i feel like makes me happy in my pants.
That Is why I went for the DS instead of the PSP but i may end up getting both.
