Any ps1 game is better the any Ds game, ff7 on the psp only 10 euro, better looking then any DS game, easy to download and 3-4 time cheaper.
it's the middle man that increases the price of game, not just the company who make it.

p.s:
at least big N is trying for once, thought it will fail till they make DS games 4-8 gb or more.

That game has aged horribly, I would not recommend it to anyone, especially over a DS game when there are so many good titles to choose from, for example the vastly superior Final Fantasy IV.

Also, any PS1 game? There was some total crap graphics wise on the Playstation 1, most of the games worth playing on the DS actually look damn good.

It's a game which is 12 years old, what would you expect? Selling it at 50€? Lol

I very much disagree. Final Fantasy 7 may have not aged as well as 8 or 9, but it is still definitely playable. Especially if you enjoy FFIV, they practically look the same. Maybe it looks better because the screen on the DS is smaller, but they still look incredibly similar.

Except that the models in the remake of IV aren't as blocky, and there is a big lack of pre-rendered backgrounds.

Although if you compared the graphics in-battle, 7 is the sure fire winner in the graphics department, however the main gripe I have with Flaregon's post is that he stated "Any PS1 Game looks better than any DS game", and then decided to pull the overhyped game card. Final Fantasy 7 is still a good game, but there are better games out there, especially on the DS where there are a number of high quality RPGs.

The statement about it aging horribly is in contrast to the constant hype it still gains for being "teh bestest rpg evar!11!11shift+1".

why the fuck should i have to pay $50-70 for a video game? fuck you nintendo, as long as you're being unfair, i'm gonna keep pirating.


To help feed the families of the dozens of people who spent months making that game you love so much. It is this mentality that has brought such piracy to Nintendo's attention. Do not get me wrong I can not say i am any better for downloading my games, but at least I purchase the ones I actually like contributing to good projects that I feel deserve money for there hard work. So I say fuck you for starving those poor kids in china!

So your saying that Super Bubble Pop is better than FFIV DS, LoZPH, Disgaea DS, Super Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart DS, The World Ends With You, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time or Kirby Superstar Ultra? (Just to name a few)

If that's not Sony fanboy-ism, I don't know what is.

The only thing that made sense in this topic is the publishers/developers from third party companies complaining their revenue is lower than they suspected. Damn you the homunculi of the R4's; you are neither good nor perfect just 'incomplete!'

WOAH where have you been buying your games?

The most expensive game i've been is 50€ and that was Guitar Hero with the "addon" (NEW of course).

Every game where i live, range from 30€ to 40€, rarely going over 40€.

40 Euros = $55~

It's still quite a bit of money, especially since games these days just don't seem to have the replayability factor that they used to.

Stop blaming pirates, and start blaming the companies that make SHITTY games.

There's like OVER 9000!!!!! of these shitty horse/pony/dog/cat games.

Don't know why Nintendo cries about this... There still on top of sales. When they start losing to Sony then that's when you should start crying.


Agreed

losing a lot of money

Says the company that has two money printing machines and made many of the best selling games. Oh and is one of the richest companies in Japan and even its ex-chairman, someone with 10% shares is the richest in Japan and 149th richest in the world. Hell, yeah lots of money lost.

Hardware protection? Well I'll just stay off any new hardwware until it becomes pirates' haven again! But at least I will buy games. If the next handheld even appeals to me.... Innovation is already pretty much dried up I'm sure, looking at the DSi.

Nintendo would loose more money if this project is a failure. I think they should just save themselves the trouble and pocket the money. That way it'd be of more use to them.

Yes yes yes we all know Ninty is rich. They aren't going to stop at least hand held pirating in any way soon unless they made the games extremely large .... but then the games would have insanely good graphics. Console pirating maybe considering how the ps3 is right now. IMO there is nothing wrong with the dsi compared to the psp 3k. 1k - 2k was ok the 3k is just .... why just why sony. >.> More protection for hackers to hack whoo hoo.
