this is a longshot, but do any of you have a nintendo DS and animal crossing: wild world?

Uh oh, fightin' words.

no_pants_island December 14 2005, 21:30:11 UTC

yes, the nintendo DS is an awesome system.

krull December 14 2005, 21:32:10 UTC

i'm just not seein' it... with the exception of maybe nintendogs, the two-screen-stylus thing just seems like a one-trick pony. :P

no_pants_island December 14 2005, 22:14:41 UTC

have you played any of the games?

krull December 15 2005, 01:22:17 UTC

oh yeah -- until last month i worked in a game development group, so we played *everything*. :P

i'm just not a fan of two small screens -- i think the DS is an outdated form-factor with the result that your main game still takes place on a phone-sized screen.

that said, i'll admit that the game quality on the DS is wayyyy superior to the PSP -- thanks in part to a big portfolio of GBA-friendly franchises like metroid and castlevania, both of which i'm a huge fan of. i'd just argue that you could ship the most of the really good stuff on the GBA and not lose much. :P

GBA?

GAME BOY ADVANCE

i think you've said it all by mentioning game quality. i don't care about HD or dvd-compatablity, i just want the best games. and those games seem to always come from nintendo, sega, and rockstar. i have an xbox and the only games i ever played for any stretch of time approaching a nintendo title were jet set radio future and grand theft auto: vice city.

i think it's also largely based on genre.

i'm a huge survival horror fan -- and capcom, konami and tecmo reign supreme there. but silent hill, fatal frame and res evil are ps2 or xbox. FPS is a tossup, with metroid prime pwning on gamecube and the rest on xbox. ps2 has the coolest music games except for donkey konga, etc. etc. etc.

nintendo has a niche and some great franchises, but i don't think i could ever limit myself to any one system, which is why i have 'em all hooked up at the same time. :P
