Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
Now if only there were some games to get excited over. I hate the feeling of loving the hardware more than the games it's designed to play.

Looks pretty sleek. However, could they have possibly moved the controls out of the early 80's? I know they've got the touch screen, but damn, those controls suck!

How can you guys preorder something we have no idea what will launch with? I mean, I'm excited for the DS, but please!
Weren't the commercials supposed to start running around early september?

That looks really good.
I think I will buy one or two of them when I visit New York next April.

I hadn't seen any threads on DS games, nor much coverage anywhere to be frank, for a system that's launching in November. Just reminded me of Virtual Boy, jeez, people are really touchy. Whoever banned me needs to get off Nintendo's jock.
Thanks in advance to anyone who posts links to DS games, I'll be sure to check them out.
Anyone naming Virtual Boy and DS on the same sentence really doesn't have a clue of what he/she is talking about.
There are already more and better games announced for DS than there where for GBA's launch.
I must say tough, that Ive heard from a few people it wount launch this year, but not because it couldn't but because of GBAs incredible performance at retail. Nintendo is thinking of going head on with PSP next year. They think DS has what it takes.
I guess we'll see.

Oh really? So if Nintendo themselves referred to DS as a third pillar, wouldn't that be similar to Virtual Boy back at that point in time in Nintendo's stable of products? Console, handheld, and something...else. I love how you immediately write me off just because I don't kiss Nintendo's ass. Jesus Christ.
DS brings a new gameplay element (two screens, touchpad). Virtual Boy also brought a new gameplay element (quasi-holographic, quasi-virtual reality). The latter failed due to lack of games. Having not seen much coverage of DS games yet in any online or offline media (I concede it may be out there, but I haven't heard a big buzz about it and for a hardware launch that's surprising to me), I likened its chances to Virtual Boy. And that's banworthy? Come on, grow up.

Dude, don't even try. You where making the DS-VirtualBoy analogy implying that the products may end up having a similar outcome. Both products are by nintendo, both try to be innovative. End of similarities. VB was uncomfortable, strange looking, technologically challenged product with no support from the get go. DS at this point is more than VB ever dreamed to be as far as potential success, in my opinion to a great extent due to the GBA backward compatibility and to an incredible ammount of support from 3rd parties that just keeps growing and growing. This thing is more user friendly.

Hah, that was the last on the list of problems with the VirtualBoy. Number one was either (A)melting your eyes or (B)it wasn't a portable!HouseAtreides said:

I'd love to go to the Megaton optimism, like
"there is something strategic info Nintendo wants to hold back, this will be voice-over-IP realtime multiplayer online stuff, Blackberry for the masses, Star Road World Smash omg."
but the gut feeling from my past fondness with Nintendo says it'll just launch with Super Mario 64x4, Metroid and a few other games, with gimmicky features at best and that online capabilities will not be utilized by Nintendo. Pen will be fun for a while but after that it'll be just an overpriced Game&Watch.

You really need some kind of "N-Gage Fanboy" tag, your posts would make so much more sense with one...

My penis is still intact.
It doesn't seem like the sort of thing I'd hit accidentally anyway, so it doens't much bother me, but there's been speculation that you'll have to hold it down for a couple of seconds to turn off.

You were banned because you troll nintendo threads on a regular basis. If you honestly can't see that then there's no help for you.HouseAtreides said:

But does the failure of Virtual Boy imply the failure of every "something else"?
Also the way it separated one from one's surroundings, probably the red/black color scheme, and several other things... but yes, in part due to games. However, there've already been several times the DS games announced than there ever were VB games.

Cut me some slack, I was working with Club Nintendo when Virtual Boy was going to be the future of gaming. Then Ultra 64... N64. I need to protect myself from another disappoinment.
And, I'm happy with GBA as well. I love Mario vs. DK, Metroid Zero Mission and all. Good straight forward games, long battery life, a simple concept - only thing I'd want to add is online gaming. I have my doubts with DS and PSP, most of them voiced here. GBA2 will be another story than DS, as it will be much more clear of its positioning. However, I fear Nintendo may lose the puck in between.

I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
dammit, now I dont know what tyo get, this or PSP. I love mario and all, but PES4 on a handheld is too hard to resist
