The Nintendo DS

[.BPG.Chunky]

The new Nintendo DS, which premiered at E3, IS GONNA KICK SOME ASS!!!! I think it, and the PSP will be comlete rivals, but an even match. Are any of you planning on getting one?? www.gamespot.com if you have no idea what im talking about.

The Nintendo DS will also have a fully 3D environment aswell as the PSP. Nintendo has basically announced that it will be a Gamecube in your very hands!!!!

reminds me of your post in PSP topic. of course PSP will be much better as more developers will create games for it as playstation is way more popular.

Its gonna be cool but its a bit stupid having 2 screens...

[Bad, Apple]

PS2 is more poular than Gamecube, but i dont think its better. Gamecube is smaller and i think the graphics r cooler. PS2 can play music and DVDs though.

It looks better now, im not going to get the psp, but I will get the ds. Not many games though, just mario 64 and thats about it.

the PSP is going to be much better than the ds and it's cartoony games. better games will be on psp and it is alot nicer to look at

[ghost]

Im sorry but, the psp is just another way for sony to cash in. Your not getting anything new, its just another console with samey games and crappy ea bollocks. Nintendo are innovating, sony and microsoft are just making the same thing again and again.

handheld ps2..... hmmm compare that to a bunch of games where they dont know anything but cartoons :)

maybe it is just a way for sony to get cash.... but it looks nice, will play well and has some great games on the move

I can only see final fantasy: advent children thats only really that good. the ds is getting a new gta game. its not all cartoon you know.

-ves

ps
+ve

-ve takes as long to load as it takes wardy to work out which end of the rifle to hold lol

[disjunto]

the amount of good games on PSP will far outweigh the good games on the ds, and the psp is something i would like to look at and hold :)

what good games? the new fifa? the next spyro the dragon? your just getting the same expirience on a new format, unlike the ds, which your getting a completely new expirience with.

[similonion]

wardy i have to disagree when you say mario 64 that is about it

i have seen some of the games that will be released very quickly after the release date and there are about 20 of them so i disagree

[disjunto]

new experience.... compared to what, having 2 screens is more of an annoyance than a bonus IMO. but still, if you tihnk that the DS is gonna be better for your tastes then go ahead and get it, i'm not stopping you.

Again and again? Microsoft has only one existing console at the moment , the xbox, and so far its not needed to be reveloutionary in its times. I mean the gamecube is hardly running laps around the PS2 and Xbox. In fact I`m very much a nintendo fan but really, this generation its the xbox. The cube has good games but Xbox comes out on top. If nintendo were going to be reveloutionary I would thought they would have able to ditch the crappy money wasting memory cards, had an online capabilat... Hang on a minute the cube does have online mode! Yea 4 two games mario kart and kirby air ride 1080. Well that puts things into perspectative. Plus the Xbox has superior graphics!

This round nintendo flopped, next generation ( DS,Reveloution) its gonna be nintendo`s year!

The DS when released in the UK is gunna have loads of top games and features! I can`t w8!

(Sorry fo the long reply)

btw *Ultra*V!olet*, by again and again he means that they arnt making anything new or anything, just going for what they know works from what they/others have done before.

i reckon that it will start of with the psp being the more popular but eventually Ninetendo will have majority of the handheld market as they always do, all competetors in that feild so far didnt catch on, the psp will change this but not enough to take it away from nintendo, just what i think anyway

[Snyper]

any have a DS? sony PSP release date - march 8th 2005

[Bad, Apple]

actually i think its now april 29th, DS is still march 11th

[disjunto]

April 29th is just what amazon put, it is not a comfirmed date.

[similonion]

that seems a bit l8 for the psp so it wil probably be releast long before that and i would have to say that when the psp comes out it will be much better than the ds

[starkey]

yes, but over twice the price!

[similonion]

so i would happily pay extra money for a console that is gonna be much better coz the psp has tv like graphics it is gonna rock

[starkey]

er its not that much better graphics i ve heard! and anyway....it doesn t have duel screens!!

[similonion]

the dual screens is a good idea but in ghames like mario they are not set up properly and there is a hole where you can't see anything in like it goes on and off screen
