Guh, was really going to get myself a DS straight away but ... now I'm not so sure. The 3d isn't good looking at all and the 2d is barely an improvement on the GBA. To be honest, the gameplay card you guys all seem to pull when anyone criticises the DS doesn't really work, turning a wheel using a stylus instead of pressing a directional input is not innovative or intuitive. The whole idea of a portable console is that it is a portable - console.

You say the PSP is basically just a portable PS2, what would you call the GBA?

I'm not saying I'm going to buy a PSP either. The battery life is really worrying me but the quality of the games I have seen so far is pretty damn high.

All said an done, neither of the two handhelds have got me really exited.

Just remember that launch title games for any system are usually not as good as games that will be developed later on.
And at least it seems that there can be a possibility for DS flash carts in the future.

I took the Pokemon box from the picture posted earlier, fixed it so it was straight, replaced the low-quality DS side logo with the one from the hi-quality Super Mario 64 box, then removed the noise, and removed the flash reflection from the glass.

I consider the GBA a portable SNES, which Nintendo can do because the SNES is a classic system and not mainstream anymore.

The PSP and PS2 are almost the same in graphics, and a lot of the games are the same for both - so to me the PSP is a portable PS2.

...I hope the DS is emulate-able... because here on Brazil the DS may end up costing almost 1000 BRR*... thats a little bit past 4 paychecks (the lowest possible paycheck is abut 280 BRR), so it's quite hopeless to have gaming consoles here, besides the PS2, which is frequently modded around here, so... If it's not emulate-able, i'm hopeless. But, I have hope, since they managed to emulate palm (I don't know with which accuracy though)!

Heh, heh - the GBA would really be considered a portable SNES if they'd just..added..two..more..face..buttons..! ARGH!

I expected more 'hate' from the Sony/anti-Nintendo crowd in this thread, but have been pleasantly surprised! The more media that gets posted, the more excited I'm getting, even though I would never purchase the majority of the games pictured. It's just good to know that all these titles are looking polished and ready for release, meaning that hopefully we'll get a steady stream of support from third parties - since Nintendo themselves seems to have lost interest in creating new games based on franchises people want to see and play.

What would make this DS news even more exciting would be if Nintendo decided to launch it with this mystery 'NEW Super Mario Bros.' title, instead of a rehashed Mario 64. When are they going to learn, STOP with the endless ports already!

However, I look forward to seeing new media anyway, because daaaaaamn, it's looking fine.

I want a DS!!
There are too many quality games, psp really can't compete with a lineup like that!
Urban GT is an intresting title...I really look forward to it! I need sports titles, like racing sim (not too arcade) and football (soccer) games, and thanks God Winning Eleven was already announced and it should head over Europe too (PES)...YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!

A big THANK YOU to the great master Shaun and all people who posted us these great infos and media!

EDIT: I want that surgery game to be released out of Japan too!!!!

No, there is no GB and GBC functionality. This is *not* the next Game Boy, GBA compatibility is only included for convenience. You can't play any GBA games multiplayer either; just single player.

OMG, are all you Nintendo fanboys retarded?

These games all look like crap. Metroid Prime Hunters and Super Mario DS have Doom 1 or Duke Nukem 3D-like graphics. Just look at those low-res textures, where is the anti-aliasing? UGH, UGLY!! Advance wars 3 looks better on the GBA than the DS, I mean those are just 2d sprites in 3d perspective. Nintendo's slogan for the DS should be "WELCOME TO 8 YEARS AGO!"

The DS is huge, that thing can't fit in anyone's pocket! It's like carrying an xbox around... yea thats very portable. Where are the people who designed the sexy GBA SP? It doesn't look like they were involved in this project at all...

2 SCREENS DOES NOT MEAN BETTER GAMEPLAY! I can't believe some of you are gonna waste money on this.

I can tell a good product when I see it. I didn't buy the original GBA because of its bad product design. I waited and bought the GBA SP because it looks great, fits in my pocket, rechargable battery and front-lit screen. The DS looks UGLY and the games look even worse. PSP looks like a much better product, I care about quality and even if the PSP costs $100 more, I'll still buy it over the DS.

Nintendo is going down if they continue creating stupid consoles like this.

XBOX & PS2 > Gamecube
PSP > DS

Your faggotry is unbounding.

Here's instructions on how to make your internet experience more enjoyable for both yourself, and everybody else:

1 - Purchase or borrow somebody's shovel - it doesn't matter what type, just find one.
2 - Take said shovel and enter into your back yard.
3 - Dig a hole in the soil close to 10 inches deep. It doesn't have to be exact.
4 - Place your head in the recently dug hole.
5 - Fill it over with dirt.
6 - Take your shovel, and shove it up your posterior.

That's it!

p.s., why the hell do you come to a nintendo site to flame a system? once again, you're a disrecpectful faggot and your seed should be wiped from the earth.

I did hear that Rare is on board for the DS but dunno what they're doing...I remember hearing a possible Perfect Dark from the N64 port. If that happens then I will shout out loud.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way
