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

 

[Z_Hunter]

Puppy Times

Puppies are invading the Nintendo DS. In Puppy Times, you can raise up to three adorable puppies and play with them to your heart's content. You can also teach your pups new tricks - just speak into the built-in microphone and they'll respond to the voice commands you've taught them. Not only that, but you can even play Puppy Times over a wireless connection!

 

[Gaisuto]

ok...so Puppy Times looks...creepy...

 

[shaunj66]

Pokémon Dash!

 

[Foppzter]

I love it!

 

[mynimal]

I think I just pissed myself. Change the GBATemp Poll to "NOW Will you buy a NDS on release date?".

On a side note, I wonder if the touch screen will cause any problems. Like on Metroid Problem Hunters is says "Touch to Start"

Oops, I said problem, haha. *Prime

Edit: Bloody hell. There are 53 users reading this topic

 

[Gaisuto]

Ok Dash actually looks decent...I was expecting something like Sonic R to be honest.

Yoshi's Touch & Go

Yoshi and Baby Mario are about to embark on another wild adventure - this time on the Nintendo DS. Using the Nintendo DS system's two screens and touch screen capability, you'll have to help Yoshi guard Baby Mario and guide him to safety. On vertical-action levels, players must use the stylus to draw clouds on the touch screen to protect Baby Mario from enemies and lead him to Yoshi. On horizontal side-scrolling levels, players must use the stylus to look out for Yoshi as he gallops across the countryside. On top of all that, Yoshi's Touch & Go also features two-player wireless play.

 

[Gaisuto]

Why oh why did they bring back that damn baby x.o
