Unless I hear the word New used in conjunction with Zelda, Kid Icarus or Mario (in terms of sequels to the core series, not the sports or party spin-offs) then I very rarely pay attention these days, which is a shame, because I've been a strong supporter since day 1. I love the Wii, I just think it's being over exploited in terms of gimmicks and underused in terms of quality gameplay experiences. I've been playing it more for the Wiiware and VC titles than anything else, and for the first time in a longtime I've been more excited about the prospective titles on X-Box and Playstation than Nintendo's machines.

I have an iPod, which I think most people do these days as well (or some form of mp3 player), and I think the whole DSi thing is a little redundant.

Seriously. Nintendo doesn't necessarily equal quality in my mind anymore, far from it. Before the Wii, it felt like everything with a Nintendo logo on it was gold. Now, looking at the Wii section of a store feels like looking at those $2 bargain bin DVD sections. It's mostly full of complete sh*t you've never heard of, but you'll sometimes find something decent with a $5 price-tag on it, almost as if it got put there by accident.

DSi looks good...........for people who don't have DS yet. If anything, the SD slot is going to make hacking it a whole lot easier. I give it a month or two after it releases before you can play a bunch of emulators and roms on it.

But either way, Nintendo is a goddamn joke these days. Been that way for a long time.

The Wii is such a sad story. It has the best GUI of the three consoles, and it has the most potential, yet it's wasted on a glut of sh*t games the likes of which hasn't been seen since the NES days.

On the good news front (if EGM's rumors are to be believed...and they call it 4/5 of the time) there's going to be a new Rouge Squadron coming to Wii, preceded by a compilation disc with upgraded versions of the original three.

And who needs a DS for emulation? That's what I'll be buying this baby for.

They're reprinting Hotel Dusk for DS, so maybe it will sell enough copies to do the job.

I will surely keep my DS lite. Ds lite might be even my last handheld. I rarely play games nowadays and i have a feeling that in the future those rare times will turn into nearly none.

I've found that while there are definitely games that I'm glad I played on them, I never seem to play the handheld systems as much as I think I will. I'd even love to have a PSP but I fear the same thing would happen.

*Buslady* · 10-03-2008, 02:11 PM

not impressed. I'll hang onto my black & red DSlite.

Whatever, screw you guys, this is sweet.

Comparison to the PSP and iPhone

*Mecha Cow* · 10-05-2008, 11:29 AM

It is sweet, it's just that most of us already own one if not more DS'.

*Ninjinister* · 10-05-2008, 04:41 PM

And some of us that do not have one yet, don't need a bunch of useless gadgets attached to their video game system.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-05-2008, 08:37 PM

Whether or not I bother depends on if they add mp3 support and/or if the DSWare shop games are any good, and it includes a "Virtual Portable" of sorts. Though even that is debatable because 95% of the Game Boy library is dated beyond redemption...basically anything Nintendo didn't make is garbage now, and even some of that. Why would I want to spend 3 bucks on crappy portable versions of old console games when I can stick a Passkey in my current DS and emulate the original console version? Games like Donkey Kong '94, Wario Land, and Super Mario Land 2 would be worth some dough, but most of it really just is too far gone. The digital retro market isn't going to translate to the portable scene very well me thinks.

So yeah, DS Ware not sucking and mp3 support and they've got me. Otherwise, pass.
