It isn't nostalgia. Those olders games are better (imo). There are plenty of older games that I find to be utter shit today. I really do think that 2D games are still more fun at this point than 3D games. When I played Fire Emblem or the GBA Castlevania's that sure as hell isn't nostalgia and in general I enjoy those games more than most 3D games released today. Not to say that the current systems suck, but for me personally other than Winning Eleven and MGS3 nothing really blew me away on PS2. It could be because I am jaded now, but I doubt it.
And this isn't to say Nintendo is the best. I barely played my Gamecube either and there isn't a game on the cube that is in the same league as WE. There were just not many games this generation that captured my attention.

Well, we need a list, I think.
Let's run down all the great games and announcements for the DS.
This is what I've got on my plate:
Sonic Rush
New Super Mario Bros.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Final Fantasy III
Advance Wars Dual Strike
Mario Kart DS
Super Princess Peach
Rainbow Islands
Bubble Bobble
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time
Anything I'm missing?

You're free to leave whenever you want bucko. And your "opinion" wasn't substantiated at all, I'll kindly "fuck off" if you do so. But until then, NA NA NA IM NOT LISTENING. Shithead.

Yeah, that's the response I'm talking about. This is a good example to differentiate between why I am not being nostalgic in some of the cases while bionic is. gogogo!
Not that I don't like Halo 1! Halo was probably the wrong game to pick there, as there are plenty of people that just HATE it.

I'd rather play Contra, no contest. :lol
But then, Contra is one of my favorite games of all time, and I LOVE 2D run&gun games.
Nostalgia, you say? Jaded you think?
So be it!

No. I have a PS2 and a Gamecube and over 120 games between them.
I posted that I didn't buy an Xbox, though. I do have 3 games for it.

I don't dismiss most 3D games, I have played a decent amount of 3D games on my Gamecube and PS2 (more on the PS2 for obvious reasons) and even more on the DC, PSX, and N64. I really like a few games on the PS2 and Gamecube, such as Zelda, Ico, ZOE2, MGS3, Kingdom Hearts, Disagea, etc. And Winning Eleven on the PS2 is one of the best games I have ever played, but overall I just don't find even my favorite 3D games to be as fun as the best 2D games I have played. If you want to dismiss my opinions and say my judgment is clouded by nostalgia, well you are welcome to, but you would be wrong my friend.
In some ways the older games are still better, but I the first to admit when something is better (i.e. Winning Eleven is the best sports games of all time and it is 3D).

Exactly. I've been burned by the nostalgia experience. I'm sure some Nintendrones can force themselves to think SMB was as fun for them at age 10 as it is for them at 25 though. Remember, anything Nintendo does, Nintendrones love, even if its something so stupid you have to wonder how many lines Nintendo execs sniffed to concoct such stupidity.
Sholmes is right. PS2 has a lot of variety and a lot of arguable classics like ZOE2, Ico, etc. (there's a hell of a lot more than those two). If you make such a bold claim as to talk shit about PS2, you better have your shit straight.
DS is the PS1 of the portable world. I really find it strange no one has seen the symmetry of it all. It was this time ten years ago that Square was quietly preparing to jump the Nintendo ship to support the PS1 and 10 years later, the situation is happening in reverse.
I recall a comment last month about Square's small booth and lack of new stuff to show at TGS. I jokingly commented they were hiding their wares for anothe conference. I didn't imagine it would be a Nintendo conference and they'd support the DS so strongly to the exclusion of the PSP.
I'm not saying SquareEnix is abandoning Sony, but you have to be blind to not see SE's unhappiness with Sony recently, especially over the FFXI HDD issues and PS2 redesign issues. Giving PSP the cold shoulder was SE's revenge. And don't give me crap about FF7 AC, which SquareEnix coveniently made sure to only print a limited supply off and a couple of vapour ware FF7 spinoffs. DS is where Square is at. How things have changed. six months ago, no one would have believe even God had he posted this on GAF.

Its simple: SE goes where the gamers go. That means its PS2 and DS. Soon it will be PS3 and DS.

It doesn't. This is just another hope from an Nintendo fanboy where if they dream hard enough, Square will abandon PS2/PS3 and run to Revolution/DS through bizarre-as-fuck explanations.
