Ds or psp?

[The Catboy]

Personally I say go with the DS. One real reason really, PSP2 will soon make your PSP games unusable.
But really the DS just has a list of better games, the PSP's library really isn't that good and only has a handful of good games.

Oh, at first glance I thought this was one of those horrible "which is better" threads.
But if you're asking us which you should buy before they die...

I'm not sure, what kind of games do you prefer playing? Have you looked at the list of upcoming PSP/DS games? Why not make your choice based on that?

Since you claim to have had both devices, I'm assuming you've played all of the games that are already out and you've been interested in (for both consoles).

Anyway, don't ask us for opinions, just pick the one that seems to have better games (in the future) according to you.

ds all the way. i recently put together a psp haven't touched it since. the design is the problem. psp is ugly. i love my triforce ds. even if i don't play it very often (at least once a day in the bathroom).

ds games are better as well. my handheld isn't supposed to be like the console. that never was and never should be the case. hand held is portable gaming, it should be similar but to a lesser extent. psp games are almost the same as their console counterpart, just scaled down.

see case of NES vs Gameboy as an example.

If anything, this.

You're going to get answers from fanboys. You're going to get answers from trolls. You're going to get answers from people who haven't played one of the handhelds....

PSP2 will soon make your PSP games unusable.

Proof? And not rumors please.

PSP is beautiful! The screen is milestones better than the DS. The only thing is it collects fingerprints.

The ds games are good but the Psp are better.
What edge you are talking about?

DS games have gameplay where PSP looks good, but really lacks anything in gameplay.
The DS is a better system if you want real gameplay where the PSP is better system if you feel like watching your games.

You say that as though Metal Gear Solid is the only PSP game.

For the types of games he enjoys, PSP has a better selection of them

That's why you buy an Ice Silver PSP, not Charcoal Black. The prints are unnoticeable.

oh, and as for this list.

Strategy
JRPG
Tales of action type game
Rts if possible

For the PSP

Strategy:

FFT: War of the Lions
Jeanne D'arc
R-Type Command
Valkyria Chronicles 2

JRPG:
Too many to count

"Tales of" kind action RPG:
There's a Tales of Eternia port, and using POPs you can play the translated PSX version of Tales of Phantasia, and Tales of Destiny. There's also a Tales of Radiant Mythology (there are 3, but 2 are in Japanese).

Although I'm kind of stuck on RTS. Mainly because I could never see myself playing one on something other than a PC.


edit: The biggest reason for owning a PSP?

Don't forget about all of the PS1 games you can play, which was an amazing thing they brought for the PSP, I played so many classics. Also, isn't Valkyria Chronicles 3 on PSP as well? Well, coming for it.

There's just 1 RTS for PSP I know, I think it's called Military History Commander : Europe at War.
IIRC it's an upgraded version of Advance Wars.

 

[Law]

I know there are a couple RTS games, I think there are a few on PSN, and there's some minis that would fall into the RTS genre.

There's definitely more than just one.

edit: and the game you mentioned isn't an RTS, it's turn based.

Ok now i am getting mix feelings.
1st, there was someone who says I can play all ds games on the emulator go for psp.
Then somebody say psp has no games go for ds.
Then they say psp is beutiful and has good games go fo psp.
Then they say psp games sux go for Ds.
Then they say Ds games sux more than psp games go for psp.
? This is gonna be a tough decision.

I think the main reasoning is that if there's a DS game that you REALLY want to play, you can just play it on an emulator relatively well.

The same isn't true for the PSP, as there is no (working) emulator.


OP: The reason you're confused is because you asked about it on a nintendo based website. Go do some independent research of your own, go look at a list of games for each handheld and see which one looks like it has the most games that would appeal to you. Honestly, both handhelds have given me much enjoyment, but I've been using my DS less and less recently.

edit: also I just read the opening post, you say that PSP games are fairly expensive where you are... you know you can hack it, right?

If you have a decent computer and set up, you can do it.

Why not base your decision on the poll?

Because he should base his decision on his personal opinion, not the opinion of others.
