And why don't you guys touch your PSPs? Surely enough you have some good games for them. PSP is practicly PS2, so grab a favorite sequel if it was made and enjoy it just as much.
I'll try another example. Mario Kart vs Dirt(Colin McRae) vs Wipeout. Kart has cutesy characters that we've been seeing forever and the silly attacks and power-ups. Dirt is real-to-the-bone rally game that can seriously immerse you with its superb physics and details. Wipeout is similar to Kart with exception of being a futuristic racer with dazzling scenery and extremely high speed races that require alot of skill and good reaction times. If you had to spend the same amount of money, which would you go with to get the most out of it? |
Except Wipeout isn't that great of a game. It's really quite average.
I owned a PSP, and all I had for it was Archer Maclean's Mercury, and Mercury Meltdown.
Quite frankly, the PSP doesn't dish out anything but 'average' titles.
On my PS2, all I play is: DDR, IIDX, and that's it. The PSP doesn't have ANY of that. So therefore, the PSP is useless to me.
You sound a little bit like a fanboy yourself.
Just remember the golden rule of gaming: A system is only as good as the games that are on it.

Well, yeah. Why would I want to play 'bad' games. That's subjective anyways.

Not at all. I own both an Xbox 360 Pro and Xbox 360 Elite. There's literally NOTHING to play on the PS3. At all. They get maybe 2 demos every 2 months. At the most. And in terms of games? Nothing until next year. Nothing. >> Maybe you can tell that I'm a huge 360 fanboy. I still think that gameplay takes a huge priority over graphics. That's why I'll wait until they release a DDR game for the PS3 _________________ all i ever wanted was the world |

Hmmm....
Enjoys eye candy
Owns over a hundred titles for each system he/she owns
The systems he/she owns are modded
I was planning a lengthy reply, but I doubt it'd get noticed based on the above facts _________________ TGS 2007:MISSED! T_T |

Erm, that said, I do have to agree with the sentiments of this thread. This thread doesn't seem to be anything more than flamebait. It's obvious he was trolling for rabid fanatics to ignite a flamewar against.
His supposedly massive library just doesn't sound very plausible, unless he's got thousands of dollars of disposable income to just blindly dump on games, in which case, what on earth is he doing trying to make a case against Nintendo fanboyism? Doesn't he have several hundred games just sitting there, rotting? _________________ *placeholder* |

WRONG! The DS owns the PSP in battery life... It takes me a week to kill my DS and 1 day to kill my PSP. I play my DS more than my PSP. The PSP is also less innovative than the DS, its basically a Portable PS2, better graphics, but not as innovative. Graphics arent everything.
Now my Schpeal:
Im a Nintendo fanboy, Ill admit it, I only have a PS2 for Megaman X7, X8, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. I did recently acquire Dawn of Mana...
My brother gave me my PSOne when the PS2 came out and he wanted it, so that I didnt buy, but I figured Id buy some games for it.
I only got a PSP for the Breath Of Fire 3 remake and so I can play my old PSOne games on it, but I have custom firmware, so yea I have an NES and SNES emulator in it and I play my favorite games all the time lol
I play the crap out of my DS with all the games I have, plus my R4 and all my GBA games that I love.
Funny thing is, my brother was a Sony fanboy and swore to never buy another Nintendo system again after his N64. He bought a Wii on Launch day lol. He always asks to borrow my GC games to catch up. He was completely flipped from Sony to Nintendo and says to everyone he meets that the Wii is creaming the PS3 |

I am pretty much a Nintendo fan boy myself, IMO. XDD;
The first system I ever owned is my good own Super Nintendo - which survived with me until third grade, where I got a Game Boy Advance. I then got a Nintendo Gamecube, and then a Game Boy Advance SP, a Nintendo DS Lite not too long ago, now recently the Nintendo Wii. The only other system I've gotten along is my SEGA Saturn, which is still in some sort of good condition.
PSP and PS2 interests me but I've never really want to use my money on them.
EDIT: Oops, forgot to read the first page as always. Anyway, this thread pretty much sounds like a place to just get us to start yet another Sony against Nintendo flame war. Shouldn't have replied here at all. _________________

Diffrences..To end it all
Nintend: Cute kiddy games..Everyone loves it how nintendo keeps the same formula with diffrent gameplays and controllers to go with it for all ages to enjoy! Gets a A+
NDS: The abilitys to blow into the mic and talk through the mic, Able to battle other Wi-Fi with Pokemon for the first time. As for the mic the Remake of RE I played for it, Definitly improves the capability of what the DS can do with that 1 part As Jill was it? blowing to give the guy some air in his lungs and you have to blow into the mic at the right moment Sure its 3d polygons aint up there yet, But still haves great 2d/3d characters and stages to boot and gameplay. A+
Wii: May not offer good amount of games people are hoping for..But makes it up with great games it haves now with all new gameplays into them and Wii-Edition games of its own. A
Sony: Offers alot of In-game gameplays, graphical cutsceens and is ment to attract people ages 13 and older Gets a A. Cause I'm sure (Even myself) We all love how they offer more button commands and In-game graphics..Loading time..meh thats what got rid the A+ for..But still worth to play, PS3 wise gets a D- untill they lower that stinking price!>_<
PS2: Is the only thing thats keeping them alive for now untill they lower the price! Gets a A..What can I say the PS2 is good imo with the games its getting.
PSP:..Okay IMO..Its great as a portable DVD player..BUT doesnt have minium (As in not all) quality games that are good yet..And now knowing it takes real batterys and not the built in ones..I'll say it definitly lost alot of Gaming intrest but more of a DVD/MP player to take out to work and on road trips for if your itching to watch or listen to music. The only reason I'm getting it is for Megaman Power up and X: Maverick Hunter.
Gets a C- for not alot of games to offer..but a A for watching Movies and listening to Music.
PS3:..a D..thats all it gets from me..Until the price is lower then its a automanic A+ for what games we can expect good from!
Microsoft: Sure their systems are great..But their cheap rip off artists for not shipping out extra wires and adaptors to the stores and have to pay $100 to replace a new one. They get a E on that compartment while stil holding onto from A+ down to B+ for the games their getting.
Xbox360: My brother haves this and gets a D- to A. "A" for having really great looking games! D- for having poor quality cooling system and wires being fried that causes house fires and freezing the games and auto turn of..actually I'll re track that function since it turns off on its own so it wont catch on fire. But it still gets a D- console wise.
We all have our own Likes and dislikes, but doesnt mean the other companys hate each other, I mean come on..I'm sure 50% chance that all those people in those 3 companys have a Xbox360, PS2/PSP Wii/NDS at their homes.
Not everyone will agree to one system or handheld cause they have their own thoughts and reasons why they decide to play each one more than others. And now I end my post seeing..I wrote too long..
Simple Titles??? Please...Mario,Sonic, Megaman, FF Stayed the same for over who knows how long, The only thing you think are simple to Mario is that he's a fat intalian plumber who always goes and rescues the Princess from a evil king called Koopa/Bowser. What "YOU" seems to forget is that the plot always changes and they alot of things that sometimes you will never suspect in Mario.
Megaman: Hm..Let see..Stayed the same by saving the world by a Evil mad scientist/Soldier/Viruse and Madman from destroying the world. And yet people still play his games because of the weapons and abilitys you can get!
Sonic: SURE sega dont have great storys..BUT they have great gameplay ideas for him and his crew..Stops a Evil Mad Doctor name Eggman..Then goies cleans up Eggmans mess by awakening a beast from a Echidna tribe, A Space colony arc expirement, and creating Metal Sonic who haves betrayed him. Let's also not forget trying to awaken Solarus..which..isnt entirely his fault..OH I shouldn't forget about Emerl from Sonic battle...ok..I'm gonna stop there before I go Sonic craze..
Simple Plot/Diffrent Game element and Gameplay that are simpel to udnerstand.
Sony big award FF: All of the story is simple and the same..Stop a all mighty evil creature/person that is gonna destroy the world from utter destruction! While the Turn base RPG is been there for..hmm now was it 19 years..or 28 years?..not sure when the first game came out so I'm guessing around 18 years. And yet offer Simple stragetys and attack motives to defeat the enemys.
Those my friend what makes SIMPLE games enjoyable and replayable..UNTILL you are force to play the same level over and over after returning to the chapter before the final boss fight. Then it gets old.
But then you seem to forget That there are side quests and setting your own record of how fast you beat these fun and simple games..Seems to me you have a grudge over simple games.
I still play Skygunner for the PS2 no matter how many times I've beaten I still get suck into it. I still play sonic just to see if I can get all those Chaos Emeralds and gettign perfect ranks. I still play Mario...Because without Mario..we wouldnt have games today..And you can't beat Mario no matter what they say cause hes the one who saved the gameing company! And have hilarious levels and chaarcters^^
Megaman..I just love to play his games just to see if I miss anything and go back to complete those side quests
FF:..I wasn't really into the series..so I can't really say anything but I love their storys and how each character interacts with one another.
So I say actually take your time with these (I'm taking out FF cause YOU really need alot of giving yourself time to get armours and Level ups) games and enjoy what they offer! I can't say nothing for Xbox360..cause havent found a game thats replayable unless you guys do. |

...Right, and that's why I can easily play an addicting Game and Watch game for hours on end, because it gets boring fast, correct? And note that I'm talking about Game and Watch games, as in the pre-console LCD games that were ported to the GBA in a collection. It's sometimes the simpler games that are the best, because you can learn how to play very quickly and it just sucks you in as you try to get better at it and earn higher scores.
Hell, the Game and Watch-esque minigames on most Mario titles for the DS take that to the next level, getting you even more immersed than before with different techniques you can use to get better scores and survive to higher levels. A good example would be the minigame on Mario 64 DS where you have to draw trampolines to bounce multiple Marios through different sets of mobile hoops; you can bounce Mario off walls to get better altitude, alter the angle and speed of his jump with the size and shape of the trampoline you draw, and bounce him through multiple hoops in a row to multiply your earned points. Add to it the catchy sublevel music from Mario Sunshine and you have a very simple pick-up-and-play game that is incredibly enjoyable, takes awhile to master, and is even more addicting than the Game and Watch classics.

Oh, it's not a simple case of price tag alone; I like to think of it more as cost compared to worth. Is Wii worth $250? Certainly. Would be worth $400? Sure would, because it's got features and titles that aren't available anywhere else. Is the PS3 worth $600? No way, not when I could get a 360 with a cheaper price, comparable graphics, and better titles. *coughGearsofWarcough* _________________ Stuck In The Middle With You; a Metroid and Halo crossover

Well then. Despite his great Clear DS Lite, he seems to just like graphics and not wanting to actually play the games. http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/09/14

You know, it's interesting. Whenever I see a Sony fanboy come in anywhere, they always talk about modding and homebrews, all that "good" stuff. But the thing that always gets me is they pretty much say to your face "Hey, Sony is better than Nintendo". Then they tell us what they put in their PSP, "Yeah, I got Super Smash Bros. on my PSP, I got Mario, I got Zelda". Sounds like a bunch of Nintendo products there, buddy.
And you know what? You're pretty much saying Sony's systems are crap since you always have to mod this and that to get what you want. With any Nintendo it's fun right out of the box. _________________ Star Fox : Command

Well, after reading a couple of posts, I guess I'll be part of this as well.
What you do not seem to understand is that people have the right of their own opinions. What you are basically doing is trying to persuade people with your own opinions, and quite horribly at doing that might I add. You are just simply telling that "Sony > Nintendo" without any backup evidences, facts, stats whatsoever that isn't biased, IMO.
Quote: | They push way too much first party junk that got old years ago and they're always behind on the visuals and crispy game engines(especially the DS, they should've really just made Micro a more powerful GB and stuck with that). |
Well, I don't really care about graphics. Why do so many people prefer Sonic and the Secret Rings over Sonic the Hedgehog Next Gen, despite the graphical differences? Because the controls are better.
And to make myself not sounding like a crazy Nintendo fan boy, I'll safely say that some PS1 games are better than the ones on the Xbox or Gamecube, despite the graphics. For example, the Megaman X series are better than most of the 3D games out there - but is it better in graphics? No. But it's fun!
And the DS has good graphics, thank you very much. I think most people should be happy that you have an almost portable N64-graphic-like console instead of complaining. Just because something else better in one way only exists does not give one the right to complain about it in the aspect of judging it completely.
Quote: | Also notice how they sacrifice quality for novelty "innovations"- touch screen, a waving stick for a controller, and all of this takes away from focusing on the game itself. |
Because Nintendo wants everybody to be able to play games, not just hardcore gamers. It's their company, their decisions, I don't see why us, the consumers, get to decide or temper. (Sure we can ask them for changes, but we can't demand them.)
Quote: | My PS1 had all my favorites until PS2 which continued that good trend. |
Good for you. Ever considered that those might not be our favorites?
Quote: | PSP is a magnificent handheld that blows the DS away in all aspects. |
Nothing more than the word "biased" can describe this sentence.
Quote: | PSP is just the right price right now and very cheap to mod and after that it simply devours the DS. |
I think you have failed to know that modding is illegal and is not Sony-supported, therefore this shouldn't even be part of your argument that Sony is better since it's not even supported by the company itself.
Quote: | The thing is though, thats all the DS can handle/developers make for it, so I really don't see much fun in playing another Gameboy when there's a portable PS2 right next to it. |
You are joking, right? The DS has some really good 2D fighting games (Bleach DS is a good choice; and before you go "OMG ANIME GAMES SUCK", play it first and judge without lying to yourself.) The PSP isn't a portable PS2, btw - or else I should be able to play Kingdom Hearts II with full speed on it. But I can't, so it's not a portable PS2.
Quote: | Shooters are better on PSP, RPGs that are still turn based have very good visuals vs nothing on DS. |
Again, biased. Some people prefer that they aim and shoot like Metroid Prime or Brothers in Arms DS, not to mention that the PSP's controls are sometimes extremely hard for beginners. (I know, I played Socom.)
If RPGs are better for good visuals, I don't even know why I prefer Sapphire over Diamond/Pearl. Oh wait, maybe because the animations takes up time and are nothing more than fancy eye candy that gets annoying after watching it for a couple of times?
Quote: | I have well over 200 DS titles and maybe half that worth of PSP. Its possible that you guys own the best ones, but that still leaves the other 150+ to be a fair trash. |
Your opinion. Your 150+ games might very well contain some our favorites, you know.
Quote: | And why don't you guys touch your PSPs? Surely enough you have some good games for them. PSP is practicly PS2, so grab a favorite sequel if it was made and enjoy it just as much. |
We do, but we just prefer our DS since it lasts longer OUTSIDE.
And maybe because we can't afford a PSP?
Quote: | Must really be a matter of preference. |
Thank you, I agree with you on this one statement.
Quote: | If you had to spend the same amount of money, which would you go with to get the most out of it? |
I would buy Kart DS any day since my friends all have it and we can have a good round every now and then.
Quote: | Also, please drop the good graphics = bad games |
Also, please drop the good graphics > bad graphics.
Quote: | Some were worth a fly-through, but very limited afterwards. |
You should really check out games like Ouendan or Pokemon then, those will get you to gaming for HOURS.
Quote: | Let me ask another question then, are prices the only factors that keep some of you from the next gen systems? |
I said to myself like at 2005 I will get a PS2 once it drops below 150.
It's 129.99 now, why don't I buy it?
Because I don't like the titles on it. =P
I am not trying to say that your opinions are crap or anything, but I am just saying that if you are trying to persuade me to want a PSP, you have just lowered my self-respect to people who owned it. A better way to do things would be something like, "I like Mario Kart DS too, but I really prefer *TITLE ON PSP* or *TITLE ON SOMETHING ELSE*; you should try it out too, maybe you'll like it!" instead of just "This sucks, buy this, it's better". I am merely telling you that your persuasion skills need to get better instead of sounding like your opinions = facts and everybody's opinions around the world. We get to decide what games and consoles we want. After all, it's our money, our hard work to get it, who are you to decide? Even our parents can't temper with these, I don't see why you get to.
And yes,I realize other consoles exist. I've played the PS2 and PSP (Since my friend is a complete Sony fan boy, but of course he doesn't tell me to just buy everything that's Sony), but I've never bought either one. There are lots of factors involved - all my friends have a DS which promotes competition, I can play my Wii with my parents and get involved with them, and the price is just cheaper and within my ability to buy them. Sometimes a gamer choose a console not for its game engine, its graphics, or hell, let's just even it's replayability or others - we simply choose it because either we like it or because of other reasons. You like your PSP and PS2, that's fine with us, we respect your opinion, but just stay with your own loving consoles and opinions and we'll stay with our own; there's no need to try to "convert" us, you know. (I sound like I am debating religions now.)
Speaking of which, what NDS titles do you have anyway? Maybe some of the titles you got are average ones and we can possibly recommend you some games that we find addicting. Give them a try and you might find them fun! _________________

I don't feel like arguing either side here. I enjoy some games with realism while enjoy others with little. I like both Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy 3 and I like both Wipeout and Mario-Kart. If I think a game is good then usually I will enjoy it. It doesn't matter who made it, or what platform it's on, or whether it's realistic or not. There are many factors that make me like or dislike a game.
I just feel sorry for those who snub either side. If you're refusing to play a game just because of one small issue then you may be missing out on a fantastic experience. _________________

I really like the Nintendo systems, partially because I grew up on them, and partially because of the games that they offer.
Now I'm a student who comes from a middle class family, and some of the prices especially that of the PS3 are outragous. In Australia, it's still $1000! And I can think of a LOT of stuff I'd rather spend the money on. I like Nintendo because they include the fun factor into their exclusive games, which young kids as well as adults can enjoy.
Not to say that I don't like Sony or Microsoft. Far from it. My sister owns a PS2 and I have friends who own an Xbox, and there a numerous games on those systems I enjoy. Just as it's mentioned above, it's a matter of preference: I just prefer Nintendo.
And it doesn't matter whether the game is in 2D or 3D to me. Hell, I still enjoy playing Tetris!
My collection of games is rather small. Spanning over the past 10 years for 3 Nintendo consoles, a Sony console and a DS (which I bought today ^_^), I only less than 20 games. They were chosen purely because I knew I'd enjoy them. And I had friends who were more than willing to swap games with, or let me go to their place to play them, and vise versa.
But it's not just a question of game quality and loyalty to a paticular company, it's also to do with the hardware. In all honesty I can't use an Xbox easily because I find the controller to be difficult to handle. Using Sony and Nintendo controllers is easy, but the Xbox is just really hard for me. My friends don't really understand it and for that matter, neither do I. However, naturally this is going to affect my choice. Why play a system you can't play comfortably? _________________ "There is no coincidence, only Hitsuzen" Yuko, xxxHolic

I work for nintendo, soo yes, I am a nintendo fangirl, But I also collect consoles, so yes, I do relize that other consoles exist, last thing I played was Okami for PS2, last hand held I played was Pokemon for DS, and that's because I've beaten Puzzle Quest for PSP.
Now if you'll excuse me, Ouandan is calling me. |

I wouldn't count myself as a Nintendo Fanboy, but I do own and have enjoyed several of their systems (NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, GB, GBA, DS). I have also owned several other systems like the Atari Lynx, the PSX and the PS2.
Edit:
I had a long speech written out, but I felt it wasn't worth putting my two-cents in this argument seeing as how I felt this topic was made with the purpose to bash Nintendo Fans. >.> _________________

I myself could once have been considered so but I am much more open minded now.
while I loved my gamecube and the many interesting and fun games on it, right now, the wii is not doing it for me. I have not played a game since I beat Red Steel in January, the only game I can see myself playing is super paper mario but I never really cared about those games. I feel disappointed that the games that are coming out on wii are all casual games. Fro9m Zelda to Metroid it's a slew of crap and uninteresting casual games (in my opinion). There is no third party support and I'm not seeing the variety and innovation I was promised.
Wiifit? That thing is bullcrap, I don't want to do hoola-hoops on a 70$ (thats a rumor) balance board. I want to play some great well developed and video gamey titles, hell even sequels will do. Just no more remakes and no more casual crap.
and so I bought myself a 360, I got a deal on it, so far, it's a brick. I don't have a power supply because of a little ordeal with Microsoft Customer service and I'm not even sure the thing will work when I get one. But I want to play Dead Rising and I will damn well play dead rising.
but I love my DS, sure the D-pad is retarded and my touch screen is tinted yellow. But that little device is not only smexy, it's also incredibly fun, with innovative, interesting and epic games. The DS is probably the best platform for gaming right now. Don't try to argue graphics because the things a friggin N64 in 1/16 the package. Have you seen Crystal Chronicles? Tales of innocence? FUNKING GORGEOUS!
The PSP's problem is it's not suited to any type of game, the one analogue stick just hinders any chance of a working control scheme. And I've played enough first person shooters to know they don't work. Driving games barely work.
The PS3 is too damn expensive for me, some of the content is great, but it'll come to 360 anyway in a few months/days
I don't even know if I answered the question or just ranted, oh well. |
